General Things That Annoy You thread - part 2

Remember the track Candy but not the dance but here’s an old favourite to rival it

Think it's my age but people who know every single word and dance move to Candy.

No problem with that per se but it's the way they dance in an over exaggerated fashion on the dancefloor and all try to be in perfect rhythm with each other, over extend their hips/arms/legs, twists, jumps, throwing their heads back and then look so fucking pleased with themselves once the entire 4-5mins of the song is complete.

This stuff has started now 🙄

Businesses that have different names on their shopfronts to those that appear on banking statements. Thought I'd been scammed when I saw an Ice Cream Parlour on my credit card statement. Turns out it was a pub. Nothing to see here.

Whenever I see a name on any of my accounts or get an automatic alert that has a name that I don’t recognise then I tell my bank straight away and they reverse it. It could well be a fraudulent transaction. Let the bank look into it and if it’s a genuine transaction then, hopefully, you will have inconvenienced the company as much as they’ve inconvenienced you by not using the name they are trading under.

So if you’d just spent a tenner in the pub and it immediately comes up on your phone under a different name, you’d call your bank even though you know it’s not a fraudulent transaction? Not entirely sure that’s legal you know

If it happened whilst you were in the pub then surely you’d speak to the bar staff to confirm it was genuine.

I think most normal people would sit down and drink their beer.

Used coffee grounds. No matter how careful you are, the little bastards get everywhere

Christmas
cant wait for it to be over

Blimey, it hasn't even started yet. Mind you, Christmas decorations in November, that's a big no from me. 

It’s on the bloody radio same old Xmas songs, Xmas markets full of old toot, Sainsbury deliveries booked up until new year. Soon it will be drunk people puking on trains.

I know exactly what you mean.  Every year, it seems to start earlier and earlier.  My wife would have had the Xmas tree up at the start of October if I'd have let her.

Surely that's worth a Kenneth Williams photo?

Ho ho ho - bah humbug 

Sometimes the drunks on trains are entertainment.
One year on a train home from London, a guy, rather drunk started singing Christmas Carols. As I slunk down in my seat he proceeded to sing at people and encourage them to join in. Those who didn't join in were encouraged further by shaking them and hitting them around the head, not hard but hard enough to make them sing. By St Johns he had his captive choir all singing. Thankfully the carriage was quite full so he didn't get down to bit my area, where me and my fellow commuters were in nervous hysterics. 

A plumber that advertises no call out charge,but then quotes £75.00 for half hour with a minimum charge of 1 hours work making £150.00 per hour minimum(This was for a job that eventually took 10 minutes).I refused to pay for 1 hour,and eventually paid for half hour.

We normally put our decorations up on 1st December, but this year they went up last weekend as my husband started chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer on Monday. We didn't know how he would feel so thought it better to put them up early. It's also a bit of cheer at a difficult time.

Sorry to hear this. I hope he gets through it all, enjoys Christmas and enjoys many more cancer free 🙏🏻♥️

Thank you.
