    Couple of things that don't really annoy me, more confuse me.

    People who start a sentence with "Yeah, no...." and the whole "6-7" thing.
    That 6-7 thing really pisses me off as well - I bet half of the people that claim to have been there weren’t.

    The 6-7 thing definitely annoys me, so I'd say that post is in the right place.

    My daughter trod in dog shit outside a friend’s house today.

    What annoys me is not knowing who the owner is because I’d gladly take a shit by their front door.

    I few years ago I got fed up with the dog shit on the pavements near our house. I wrote ’merde’ on several big pieces of cardboard and covered the shit with them. For a while it seemed that people got the message.

    Saw a great thing on Eastbourne seafront a few years ago.
    A woman's dog took a shit where everyone was walking. She didn't make any attempt to clear it up..
    Another woman chased after her to remind her but she just kept on walking.
    The other woman went back, got a poo bag out, picked it up then ran up to the offender and emptied it into the hood of her coat.
    Brilliant!

    And hopefully pulled the hood up over her head.

    Better than that
    1. Scoop up the shit into a paper bag
    2. Take it their front door
    3. Ring the doorbell
    4. Set light to the bag

    Then step back and enjoy the spectacle of them stamping on the burning bag.

    The ever growing process of big corporates and other companies who want to keep customers at arms length and make it increasingly impossible to make contact with them unless it's a sale.  Phone numbers and email addresses hidden away in the bowels of their websites ensuring that you have to drill down through all the dross before you get the contact details.  Fck 'em I say, you ain't getting my business.

    All books should be arranged in colour order, irrespective of the nature of the book. It would make libraries much more engaging and inclusive. 
    I have mentioned it before, but there is a large charity shop in Ferndown, Dorset where they do exactly this.

    This story about the reduction in size of Mars bars, ex
    acerbated this complete and utter lying bullshit from a spokesman. 

    "Over the last 35 years, we have made a number of updates to our bar sizes and pack formats to reflect consumer demand, alongside considering wider external factors such as manufacturing costs and the price of cocoa."

    "...to reflect consumer demand..."

    Yes, we have all sent companies letters demanding they charge us more for less.

    I am annoyed by the way people chat about new phrases and i have no idea what they are going on about. Like 6-7, are people atarting sentences with 'i'm all at sixes and sevens' and what does that even mean and why?

    Can you write and demand they increase the number of goals per game? You seem to have their ear...

    Fat kids waddling their fat arses around with even fatter parents 

    No excuse for that, its one thing to willfully fill yourself with butter and sugar then become a burden because these lardarses are never working or will need constant medical appointments and support. Its another entirely to let a child get as grotesque as some of these butterballs I've seen whilst out keeping the economy going today. 

    The little fat bastards are generally obnoxious too as they have no concept of boundaries, restraint or the word 'no'

    "He won't eat vegetables, he screams the house down" I can visualise my parents reaction to any of us refusing a meal and as much as I dearly loved my mum she could serve up some punishing endurance dinners.

    When you pop home for a bit of lunch and the cupboards are bare, you phone the Mrs to ask what there is and she comes back with - "Theres humus and cucumber in the fridge"

    Hang on, if you’re home and the cupboards are bare, why are you phoning your missus to ask what there is? Where is she? Where is the fridge?
    Is this normal in France? 🇫🇷

    "Sugar with shit" is a more typical response to that question.

    Was in a supermarket aisle tonight with a trolley for items less than 10, the aisle next to me was for Idosos(over 60's).
    I did not realise this aisle was empty but a guy next in the queue for said aisle addressed me as senhor and asked me to go first.
    That was all very nice and respectful but he looked a lot bloody older than me, or so in my eyes! 
    I have taken down the mirrors in the gaff of my favela!
