Adverts that you are still wondering at the end what the **** they are trying to sell you. (I'm probably just too old)

And why I would want to go out smelling of Diesel anyway. If I want to smell like that I'll go and service my digger.

Ah yes, on tv when they rewind something, they put lines on the screen to try and mimic an old VHS machine running backwards (badly) and you hear the sound playing quickly backwards.  Someone tell them that just doesn't happen with a PVR

Anyway you can tell Christmas is over now, the holiday adverts are on tv now.

And as you say , holiday ads are on so Christmas must be over .......................anyone for an Easter egg ?

And every Christmas they show ET  and every year , when he comes back to life & the theme music plays , the Missus cries.

It has been pointed out that sometimes, when i have had a little too much to drink, i can come across as a bit grumpy. Cannot see it myself. I see myself as a , tolerant,,happy, smiling, caring, fluffy kitten of a person

I didn't envy your lot restoring power up here in atrocious conditions last weekend.

Anyway things I don't like:

Reversing beepers.

Working in a nice rural house in the middle of nowhere, and all I can hear every 30 seconds or so is "beep beep beep....... "  Nearby farm shovelling s**t far enough away you can't hear the tractors, but the bloody reversing beepers should be banned.

 
Hoarders - you try fault finding when you can't find any sockets - I think there's one over here?? behind the metal railings and 30 years worth of newspapers...ohh wait perhaps its over there in the room FULL of plastic bags.

 "Mentally ill" people who social services bend over backwards for yet they still refuse to do anything but smoke weed and play x-box.

80 year old ladies who will climb rickety wooden ladders to change lamps rather than wake up their 45 year old offspring at 3 in the afternoon!

sticky carpets

van tracking (we only have 3 employees with work vans) .

1970's style money handling.

my job...... in general.

:lol:
