Things I don't like (TIDL) thread

“Because we’ve always done it that way...”

Doesn’t mean it’s correct now or even the best way - it’s not supported and was created over a decade ago!

F1 commentary:
Specifically, the interaction between commentators and pit-lane reporter. Every time there is any sort of dialogue between Croft and Kravitz and driver radio traffic comes in, the former will shut down the discussion so we can hear yet another banal driver moan or irrelevant comment. Is it necessary? Does it add to viewer satisfaction? Can these updates not be held from playback for the extra few seconds to bring the discussion to a conclusion? Maybe it's just me, but when this happens 10-15 times per race, it is properly irritating.

Crofty is absolute ****. The amount of things he misses and gets wrong, including driver names, it astounding.
 
Right! I am officially sick to death of politicians, political commentators, hoc speakers, anything to do with Brexit.

They can just bugger off.

If I had my way we would just have the election today and get on with it. Any mp who didn't make a plausible effort to achieve what they campaigned for would be barred from taking office for life.

Oh yeah and if no one gets a majority we should have a run off between the top two parties. Give one of them effectively a dictatorship so they get something done.

I don't care anymore what happens

Had to file a small claims court case against a so called friend who I've known for over 10 years :mad:

When you lend money to friends, assume you will never see it again. If you are not comfortable with that, then you shouldn't be lending it to them.

I read this somewhere else many moons ago and it's served me pretty well.

Wasn't a problem in the past with this particular person but this time it was.

The interrupt doesn't really bother me, as those two have to shut up for it. Kravitz hasn't been too bad this season - or maybe I've stopped listening - but I'd much prefer no commentary to them two and Brundle. Davidson, Di Resta and Button would be the dream team IMO.

It's unfortunate, I've had the same with family. I can imagine it wasn't a small sum either for small claims to be involved.

To be honest, it wasn't really about the money but the principal. I actually dont need the money but to not speak to me for over a year and ignore all my communications. I had no other choice, its rude, bad mannered and disrespectful.

Having half a molar (the really big one at the very back) and its roots left in my lower jaw after my dentist had a go at wrestling it out but ended up just snapping bits off it instead about 6 weeks ago. Sometimes a stray peanut wanders over there and I accidentally bite down on it, which makes my eyes water a bit.

I was supposed to hear from the hospital about a follow-up within a week or two. I really must chase it up.

A letter from the hospital arrived today.

"Hey Yadda, we notice you're on our waiting list. Do you still want an appointment? Tick a box and send the form back to us. Oh, and if this isn't your correct address can you pop the right one down on the form too. Ta."

Delayed appointment aside, sending someone a letter asking if the address is correct is a novel idea.

:confused:
 
Went to KFC with misses and child, ordered in looked fairly empty no one at checkout. Then people "reserved" seating downstairs whilst ordering 2 people on a table of six pricks...

Went up stairs and some smart ***** decided to host a children's party and take up all but one of the tables and left no high chairs...even better the staff who were filling from bottles(because getting pumps fixed and replaced I guess is too difficult) put my drink on the edge of a matt and not on the tray so when it was slid to me it tipped and covered me in pint of pepsi.

I had some **** laughing at me who i felt like throwing out the window. I asked for tissues to clean myself up and they didn't have any, In fact the party had taken all the tissues, salts/peper/sauces and bits upstairs.

To top it all off one of the ******* children set off the fire alarm before they left.

If you're hosting a 20+ childrens party, go to somewhere designed for it not a small high street kfc.

I'm not even going to go into the toilet issues. All we wanted was to get out of the rain and have some lunch :(
 
That intense wave of absolute panic, fear and dread that rushes through your brain as, halfway though sitting down to drop the kids off at the pool, you suddenly realise that you didn't put the toilet seat down.

That, I don't like that!

This is why I swing my plums about during the sitting process to ensure accuracy and safety.

Christmas lights that tie themselves into knots over the summer. I put them away carefully rolled up and come back to something that look like 5 crazed kittens have gone mad with a ball of wool.
 
Had a morning of it so some things I don't like...

1) when an idiot blocks the entire petrol station forecourt and road because lack of using eyes. Then for whatever reason decided to almost reverse into me because again lack of using eyes. An altercation was had, she decided to have a pop at me for beeping her. explained to said woman that she was a tool.

2) Emergency dentists, not because of anything else but the cost of the appointments. Had tooth ache all weekend, emergency dentist this morning and I'm almost £400 and a tooth lighter. Oh and now I cant feel my face. Great.
