I work there and it's always bad but now it is already impossible to move around at anytime after 9am
Great for tourism and retail but think of the workers !
Ditto for Knightsbridge. I work directly opposite Harrods and the tourists are doing my head in. I have to get central line from Holborn and my tube home from work goes through tourist central - Knightsbridge , Hyde Park Corner , green park, pic circus, Leicester Square, and Covent Garden.
The phrase 'who's she, the cat's mother?' really annoys me, probably more than it should. I simply can't comprehend how someone can get so upset about the correct use of a pronoun
I'm on the top deck of a bus on the way back from the game. There are around 50 seats on the top deck and three of them are taken. A gentleman has just come up the stairs, completely ignored the 20 or so pairs of seats that are completely unoccupied and sat down next to me. Could well be back on here tomorrow morning complaining that a sore jacksy is a general thing that annoys me.

It's not about the correct use of a pronoun, it's having the respect to call someone by their name.

I imagine that's why Rina said 'correct use'. For example, it is perfectly polite to say 'I was talking to Amy and she thinks that etc.", it sounds absurd to say "I was talking to Amy and Amy thinks that it would be nice if Amy could bring along Amy's cousin to etc.", even if Amy is standing right there. Anyone who thinks that is rude really needs to get their head out of the clouds.
People who, when you're not having a great day, say: "Cheer up! Might never happen!"
They've no idea whether you've got a splinter in your little finger or your mum's just died. But 'hey, I'm cheery so you have to be too!'
Fuck the fuck off.
Sorry. Bad day.
Good one that. Over the years I've heard that so many times and wasn't remotely amusing the first. It always seems to be when you are concentrating at work on something more challenging then the Sun crossword. I suppose some wander around grinning like a fool.
Ridiculous penalty decisions such as the one seen at Anfield this afternoon.
Liverpool player smashes a ball into a Swansea player who is standing in the penalty area. He isn't even facing the Liverpool player and the ball strikes his arm. This all happens in the space of about 4 yards.

You totally missed the point, as many young people do these days with regard to politeness.

The showers at work. They have no ventilation so not only do they hum to the stench of a hundred wet towels and trainers discarded on the lockers and radiator, they steam up quicker than Stan Collymore's car. Therefore drying yourself is an impossibility as you sweat faster than you can dry it, making each item of clothing stick to you and in the case of shirts go invisible... Add to the fact there is nowhere to sit, making it virtually impossible for a fat bastard like me to put on socks... I'm stood one footed on a towel, sliding about like an all-flamingo adaptation of gorillas in the mist, cocking my leg up like the flautist from Jethro Tull and falling over onto a load of smeggy wet clothes... Before arriving at work looking like I'd been shipwrecked.
"Everything happens for a reason, dear". For what reason have I been in and out of hospital for the last few months, having ecg's, blood tests and injections and various drugs then!
A/1 - Press the farkin release button when the draw is on the way back in, NOT ONCE IT GETS IN FFS. B/2 - When you're in the final, put the gold token in one of the END traps, this halves the chance of your token going into one of the neighbouring traps C/3 - Also in the final, if you ain't any good at a subject GO FOR THE HARDEST QUESTION FOR THE MAXIMUM 3 GOES, you're probably going to guess the answer anyway and seeing as it's multiple choice, you might as well go for 3!
Vets............Trying to convince you they put the animals first, when the first words out of their mouths is... Are your dogs insured?
Well my fiancee is a veterinary nurse and know she'd say otherwise
I've never known a veterinary nurse any different and not met one that didn't care. I have a fantastic vet back in London and one down here for emergency use/jabs etc. All bar none have fantastic nurses. Vet/owner of the first practice down here met my dogs for the first time and said " so this is Bailey and is he insured" I asked why that was relevant as I will pay the bill. No answer, so I left.

Times I heard that when I hadn't left me flat for 2 month when I was bad

The referee deems this as 'deliberate handball'
P Jeez, cheer up mate! Might never happen.
