    80 year old Harvey Keitel giving it large on the 'Direct Line' ads .. paying this senile old sod shedloads for talking a load of gangster influenced old bollocks in an attempt to make me buy their overpriced car insurance is an insult and I will make sure that I never ever consider buying one of their products .. do people really fall for this type of cliched old rubbish ?????
    Makes my teeth itch when the ads come on the radio or TV.

    The above advert where he turns up middle of the night in the bloke's bedroom. Surely you'd say 'wtf you doing in my bedroom at 2 in the morning' rather than have a discussion about landlord insurance?

    But they grabbed your attention which is their aim

    I couldn't get my head around the money supermarket ads with the blokes in denim hotpants and stiletos but as long as they get in your head one way or another

    Possibly only a continental Europe thing, as I don't remember people doing it back in the UK, but people standing by pelican crossings with no intention of crossing the fookin road is annoying, and it happens far too often

    And even if they do want to cross, they'll wait for the signal even when there's no traffic visible at all. Weird.

    Happens here at Zebras too. When you stop they look at you quite bemused and wave you on...

    On a related (Albufeira in August) matter. I stopped at Zebra for a bloke on the other side of the road, who then walked very slowly to the half of the crossing I was actually stopped at, when he got to my lane he then turned 45 degrees away from me and continued his amble, clearly holding me up for the maximum time he possibly could. You just know he is the kind of bloke who never stops for pedestrians when he is behind the wheel.

    Starbucks asking for your name. Mind your own business. tempted to say Xaviar or Costa or Taxavoidingcnuts
    Better yet, "I pay my taxes, why can't Starbucks?".
    Also tempted to say Radistankishishev
    My son, who to my eternal shame, likes Starbucks "coffee", gives the name of the person serving him, regardless of their gender.

    Politicians.  Are they all the same?

    French conservative Eric Woerth trying to kid everybody with his derring-do by climbing this almost vertical face.

    Those shitty little white Bluetooth ear bud things that do what Apple headphones have always done, and leak massively irritating tinny noise out of the listener's ears and into mine.

    When someone messages you to say they're running late and will be 20 minutes, but turn up half hour later than that, why not just say you're gonna be an hour late, first off, so you ain't late twice

    They think that, coz they've told you, they've covered emselves. I just spent an hour thinking every car that comes past 

    If only he knew what I just called him while he's making me wait even longer while he's on the phone

    buying presents

    Everyone I know is difficult to buy for.  My bird's birthday tomorrow, she don't like flowers, doesn't drink and won't want chocolates.  If I buy clothes or jewellery she won't won't like it, she's fussy about these things.

    Same at christmas, trapsing round the shops buying stuff for people they don't want, don't need or won't appreciate

    Get her a Charlton top, if she doesn’t like it, you can have it. Or just get her a rabbit with extra batteries, that’ll keep her quiet.

    Seeing as she's your "bird" then I
    suggest some millet & a good clean of her cage.

    Very similar to here, except you don't get a message in the first place...
