Things I don't like (TIDL) thread

Well that depends what the nature of the dig was for. When the power went off to half my street they started digging at night to fix it. Sorry if we are disturbing your sleep but I would just like to have my power back on.
Having done such things my own self, I fully understand - We'll leave you to your sleep and the ruptured sewer currently flooding your property. We'll be back tomorrow about 10.30am, after the morning rush hour obviously, as we'd not want to inconvenience you. :p

No gas leak, no power outage or leakage of any kind. They just dug two holes, well a large trench and a hole, and then left. They returned sometime late this morning.

They wouldn't have paid a team to work at night if there wasn't an urgent need.

I've been 3 times. Every time I've been there's been a ******* nudist parade. It took me 3 trips to learn my lesson :(
 
Hmmm, we could be here all day as I am a miserable git lol, but my major gripes are people who don't bother indicating (driving or on bikes), using foglights when its not foggy, The way people are glued to mobile phones now walking down the road...even crossing the road. The use of phones in cars. people who drop litter including dog poo bags and the incorrect use of the word 'like' inserted into a sentence at lease once, but sometimes 3 or 4 times. I just want to slap people when I hear this retarded American way of talking. :)

Well.... *shrugs* You did ask @Maccy. ;)

Despite lots of research into the area, what to see and do, looking at threats from pick-pockets etc, it wasn't until the Taxi driver told me that I found out prostitution is legal here. Now I'm too old for all that sort of thing but I'm amazed it isn't more widely known/discussed, or maybe I'm just too naive for that sort of stuff?

Don’t beat yourself up, wait until you’re so old that if you wind up somewhere where prostitution is not only legal, but free to those that ask, but you think, meh, worry then.
 
Running around like a blue arsed fly because of house moving stuff for weeks while also having to attend to multiple (8) medical appointments

Watching a country's first major transformational leader in a generation get hobbled before he gets his first run on the board

The Solomon Islands selling out Taiwan for mainland China loans instead. They dont seem to have grasped the archaeological evidence of Taiwan being the original genetic root stock for quite a few Pacific islands. If Taiwan's independence is ceded therein lies the (factually false - its indiges are not all from the yellow river delta) genetic historical argument for claiming a great swathe of the Pacific is 'really' China's territory. Thus, the Solomon's have just risked their sovereignty over their (and their neighbors) territory for a fast buck - since by the false genetic-history argument that can be put for convenience, the Solomon's are really a province of 'ancient' chinese. Plus it ***** with my holiday plans.

Hmm. Being told by a sonographer 30 minutes ago he and a colleague agree they suspect they have found the source of my tinnitus (good news) but refusing to tell me what the cause is for what appear to be administrative reasons. And what a long bloody scan - 30 minutes non-stop - I'm wondering if that duration is usual.
 
Putting so many ice cubes in my vodka then ignoring the fact that some fell on to the glass topped table I was seated at, then thinking, ‘I’ll wipe the table before she goes ballistic.’
Completely forgetting the pool of frigid water, I put my iPhone down in it.
Next day, displayed in large letters on its screen, NO SIM, somehow the water had seeped in and screwed with the phone.
No one to blame but me, I took it to a repairer, he opened it up, fiddled around, ran a tiny dryer device over the guts of it, and gave it back, no charge, please put something in the charity tin, which I did, a fiver.
I walk outside, make a call, disconnect, go to make another, when up came NO SIM.
Back to repair guy, who sucked his teeth, and said, “It’ll have to go away, back Saturday, £55, and I’ll give you a brand new little Samsung which will only make and receive calls, give it back when yours is ready, okay?”
As I say, my fault, I have to bite the bullet, but no Wi-Fi, no apps, no camera, no calendar, I feel like I’ve been transported back to 1950, uurgh!
 
The druggy ****** off about the government in store, because she didn't get paid her benefits on time so she can't afford a box of carlsberg.

Edit: I also remember the time she came into the store I worked at years ago high as a kite on Halloween dressed in her "work wear" in front with her 12 year old son poor kid. So she really grinds my gears.
 
F.O.P syndrome, (Fatty On Phone), an absolute epidemic in the West End, wallowing along at the speed of a tectonic plate with no spacial awareness, then tutting or shouting "What the hell?" when you try and get past them.

People who cross their legs whilst sitting on the tube, blocking the space so you can't move down inside the carriage.

Beards, they belong to tramps and hippies.
