General things that Annoy you

People who make sarky 'good afternoon' comments when I come into work mid-morning. Do I make similar retorts when they go home at 4.30 knowing that I'll be in the office for a couple more hours. No, I just keep my head down and get on with my job - of checking the transfer rumours thread.

I'm sure that post will cheer Stig up Nick

Arseheads on Ebay.
Have relisted my other halfs BMW 1 series 3 times, first fella hit buy it now. He wasn't from these shores, turned up to collect with his young son as translator, he thought that 'buy it now' meant he could have a look and haggle, after 20 mins of trying to make him understand, I told him to fuck off, a lot. He understood that.
Buyer number 2 hit 'buy it now' - terms were £100 deposit within 24 hours, balance is cash on collection. Sent him various messages, didn't answer, finally got back to me and told me that he didn't want the car because it was too far to come and collect it. WTF is wrong with people..........

What should you do then? Just accept everything you don't agree with?

Or accept thats what happens with Democracy

There is a vote and from that vote there is a winner and there is a loser... Yes people wont like the result of a vote but of all the things to do, dont start a petition to get that vote over turned

Farage said before the vote that if leave lost 48-52 that the fight would go on.
If that's ok for him then fighting to remain after the vote is fine by me.
And what trump is doing will effect the uk so protesting against that makes sense to me.

Thats fair enough... Not arguing with you about that.

I just think its stupid that people try to rely on these petitions to try to get their own way... as already mentioned on here, the fact that fake signatures were being put down for the Brexit petition showed how much of a joke they are.

I think the fact that it seems to be universally the case that no matter how many signatures the petition gets, Parliament takes zero notice of it, shows how much of a joke they are. Sure, they are legally obliged to discuss it in Parliament it if reaches the threshold, but that is meaningless. Only a few people from either side bother to turn up and half an hour later its back to brandy and cigars in the expenses lounge.

But it makes the armchair activists feel as if they are doing something when in reality they are achieving fuck all, so there is that I suppose.

Just watched the itv news report on GrahamTaylor's funeral today and they mentioned his "disastrous" spell as England manager, what's wrong with "he had three years in charge of England taking them to Euro 92" ?

Can't help themselves. Admittedly, he wasn't a resounding success but why the f**k is it relevant at his funeral.

Sometimes a petition is all someone can do. Even if you know it will be ignored or ridiculed at least you know that your opinion has been expressed.

another fucking tube strike.
