People who go on about being more tolerant are a big one for me, Tolerant, I haven't hit anyone since I came out of therapy a few months ago so I must be getting more tolerant. I just think that when you get older you realise there are far more idiots around, I don't think there are more, just that you notice them more.

There's a guy over the road form me who's always bitching about other people yet he's doing up a track car and sees nothing wrong with his constant hammering and grinding. He spent ages last week trying to drill 2 holes in a thick piece of metal, the drill bit he was using was completely blunt, but he carried on, half an hour of his bloody drilling was most annoying.

Another pet hate is young coppers who refer to you as "son", honestly, I've got kids of my own who are older than most of them.

Missing tools, even if they are only missing for 5 seconds. 

When womens clothing only comes in small, medium and large and large is a size 12.

Having to really careful in some places in case someone's left their hypodermic needles around. 

How easily I bruise. 

People who don't like dogs. 

"We've got a woman on site, guess we're alright for teas then." I'll take mine white with no sugar then, t**t. (In fairness, never said by the guys I work with, just by people on sites that I go to.)

Unreliable bluetooth connections. 

Being ankle deep in water and realising there's a hole in my boot. 

Pineapple sneaking up on me. 

Hangovers. 

Religions. 

Swedish cider. 

"This isn't really a job for girls though...". (Generally said by the same t**t who makes the tea comment).

Yes. Even worse when you find that your missing Allen keys are actually in your left hand and your blaming the apprentice for losing them. (Me this week)

When womens clothing only comes in small, medium and large and large 

TBH I'm the opposite I have to order my snickers gear online because I can't buy it small enough. 28" leg 30" waist is not xtra small.

Pineapple sneaking up on me

Haven't a baldy's what this is about.

Ruddy hell !!  Its 2017 now  FFS  ....some blokes really are t**ts   ...really get on my t*ts  (If I had some) .  

I think that during   World War 2  men were heard to say stuff like...  "  Women driving  buses & ambulances ...good grief !!  What next !!

And something that shocked me some years back  .  My aunt was telling me some tale or other and said when she got married her boss  ( At a bicycle manufacturers)  asked her to keep it secret as he didn't want to lose her .  

I didn't understand this at the time .

Apparently they wouldn't employ married momen as they would be taking a job from a man .

I went into Arco and asked about some Snickers trousers while I was there. The girl behind the counter got everyone from the office to come out and look at the guy in the trousers so long that they don't carry them and can't order them in that long.

Arco are useless. Everyone else can get their gear of Arco but they're too big for me.

I have a long-standing disagreement with pineapple, but I have now come to a point where I will accept that it's in my food if I'm given sufficient warning so that I can mentally prepare myself. Nothing worse than quietly enjoying my lunch and suddenly there's pineapple in my mouth like "SURPRISE! I bet you weren't expecting me!".

make your own lunch?
