When pubs have their handpumps behind the bar under the optics. If they aren't right on the barfront I'm left scratching my head in a wha'happened moment.
People today on the tube in coats? What is it with the British public and clinging onto the coat until the bitter end of spring going into summer. They don't need them. I understand the odd day in the summer where the temperature drops but not today.
Drivers at roundabouts who don't go when they should and give way to anybody on there left when there's nothing coming to their right. This is confusing because you yourself are giving way to them on the right and it'd be sod's law you end up having a crash due to them dithering and eventually going and of course you being liable for not giving way to them.
The number of times i've ended up at a standstill at a roundabout with all 3 or 4 junctions filled all because somebody doesn't know it's give way to the right not the left!

Guilty as charged Cabbles. When I was an engineer working in the city, ramming my wallet, loose change, pen, large bunch of keys, small screwdriver, pliers and other stuff in my trousers was uncomfortable to say the least - not to mention it looked a bit uncool. I tried other options - man bag, bumbag etc. but was terrified of losing the lot in one go. In the end I settled on being hot but looking cool. (read irritated, stressed, sweaty a*s*d engineer).

Think I might be the only person in Lewisham who knows how to use a roundabout. See this all the time.

Now come on cabbles, you know as well as I do that by 1.30 this afternoon it could be lashing with rain and about 5 degrees - it is Britain after all...

Practically I see the benefit. I couldn't see any engineers on my journey though, just hot uncomfortable white collar workers. However I have a man bag though, not sure whether that makes me worst. So for today I'm just wearing my david beckham pants, my man bag and my shoes

This is also true. It is just that they are also contributing to the general level of heat with their additional clothing. Perhaps I should've put this on the general things that annoy you thread. Upon reflection I actually got quite worked up about it
When people say they are getting engaged on a certain date. No you're not, as soon as you've made the decision to get engaged you are engaged. You can't temporarily unmake the decision whilst you lose two stone, save up for a ring and organise a piss up. Ridiculous.

Why with most computer fonts an upper case i is shorter than a lower case L
I'll I'll. Looks pretty sImIlar, think its so we can distinguish between the 'I' and 'L's, the confusing bastards
Even there I can see the difference in height and because I'm used to it know which is which. It makes sense that they would be a different height, I just don't understand why the upper case letter would be the shorter one
The 'PC Brigade' throw their toys out of the pram when one refers to the 'chairman' of an organisation rather than describing an item of furniture namely a 'chair.'
The rationale for this apparently being that the second syllable 'man' is demeaning and excluding to females.
Why then do we refer to a 'woman' and 'women?'
Surely, applying the same logic, the descriptive terms for singular and plural should be 'wo' and 'wos'.
On reflection, given the grief, hassle and aggravation many of them are capable of giving, particularly if non- pc language is used, perhaps the plural should be 'woes!'

Have poppadums in the restaurant and they're extra.
Not saying nobody should have counselling, just confused as to why that's the newsworthy thing.
Nicely Done!Very Good!
there's too much happening.
