Take note @eastterrace6168Chunes said:Doesn't annoy me, more of a controversial opinion... Match threads shouldn't start until the lineup is announced. The lineup should be the first post in the match thread. Everything else should go in pre-match.
Posting by others before the line-up is not my problem, all I do is get the lay-out up and running with a bit of info, whilst I wait for the line-ups, purely for a bit of reading by anyone interested.
So now, it seems that ain't good enough...
I add the line-up just as soon as it is available on the OS, and it seems a few others do that before I can sometimes, resulting in various postings.
Anyway.....🤷♂️

FFS, I put an Amazon Fresh order in earlier, thinking it was being delivered tomorrow morning between 10-12. Had an email confirming the delivery will be between 10-12 tonight. I’m fucking knackered and want to go to bed!5

The American use of the word 'minute' to mean 'ages'.
"I haven't had one of those in a minute! It's been a minute since we last did that!"
Fuck off.6 -
When you arrange for something to be delivered and the person says ‘I’ll phone you the day before to remind you’.
Why? If I’m that forgetful then why not phone a minute before delivery? Or why don’t I phone you the day before you phone me to remind you to phone me. FFS.3 -

Deliveries and services that will only deliver/turn up Monday-Friday and won’t give you any clue as to what time of day beyond ‘sometime between 8am and 6pm’.
Absolutely ridiculous that anyone who works Monday-Friday has no choice but to take a whole day off for something that often needs just 5 minutes.2 -
They make it even worse by adding the word hot to it. "Must of been a hot minute since I last had that"JiMMy 85 said:The American use of the word 'minute' to mean 'ages'.

A very, very rare time we disagree dear chap.Stig said:I hate the phrase 'rubbernecking', it sets out to vilify a perfectly natural human behaviour.
Firstly, if you are on a motorway in the other carriageway, suddenly slowing to a crawl in the hope of seeing some gore over the other side of the road is effing dangerous to those behind you - even allowing for one leaving a reasonable gap between cars. I have sat in stationary traffic after an emergency stop on the motorway for a couple of minutes, only to find the only thing holding us up was ghouls leering accross the central reservation at a car in a heap or on fire. Bloomin' annoying to say the least.
Secondly, there's lots of perfectly natural human behaviour that we reject because we have (hopefully) developed a large brain that can work out some things are simply wrong, despite our prehistoric instincts telling us different. Personally I just have no interest in peering at someone else's misfortune.4 - Sponsored links:

These 2 idiots. Ignored foreign office advice to travel to Iran, despite previous issues with Brits out there. The government should charge twats like this for any support they have to give trying to bring them back.7

Delivery companies should not be allowed to deliver so late. When my kids were younger we had a neighbour who would always have their food delivered around 9pm, reverse warning beeper goes off followed by the noise of crates being pulled out of the truck resulted in kids being woken up.DaveMehmet said:FFS, I put an Amazon Fresh order in earlier, thinking it was being delivered tomorrow morning between 10-12.

Perhaps a national curfew would be the solution - the creation of any noise caused by people doing things after bedtime should be banned.buckshee said:

Went to Legoland with my Son today as a treat for his Birthday on Friday.
Took me four hours to get home to Rochester
I know I left there at 4pm, so hit Rush Hour traffic on the M25, but it cant be that bad on a regular basis can it?

We've put our house on the market.
A family walked round, told the Estate Agent they absolutely loved in.
Then went in with an offer £170k under.
You cheeky f'ing bastards.

You cheeky f'ing bastards.When I was selling my Dad’s house I had 3 offers after the open house thing. All over the asking price. I took the one that had no chain. One of the other two (who hadn’t sold their house) asked what they’d offered and said they’d give more. Nah. Just don’t like that.7 -
We had an offer accepted on a house (we offered 5K over asking price such was the market at the time) and were so happy only for a couple days later after it had been taken off the market them to call us and say theyd accepted a higher offer and that they didnt think we could match it so no point countering.Arsenetatters said:

We got the last laugh because a couple months later a bigger house across the road (sunny side) with bigger garden, bigger drive and much more potential came up and we paid £10k less for it than they did for theirs. Still subtly put the finger up at them when I see them though!10 -
Exactly, once you’ve accepted an offer it’s only right to stick by it.cantersaddick said:
