    Conversation between two colleagues just now.

    Person 1: "How's [your one year old son]?"
    Person 2: "Good thank you"
    Person 1: "Did you hear about that child [that recently died in a tragic accident at home]?"

    People that are too dim to just step off the dlr at Canary Wharf in order to let people out.

    It really isn't that difficult to work out surely?

    You get that on all trains... The worst ones give you a look that says: Where do you expect me to go!!
    Can't stand these type of people. I try to make a habit of booting their bag out of the door so they have to get off to retrieve it, if they don't have a bag, then a kick on the ankle is also effective. I've been known to thrown in the odd expletive (never used the word AIDS though)and lingering glare.

    Glasses like this.

    Just as you think you’ve moderated the flow a huge tidal wave of beer smacks you in the face and ends up on your shirt ... Or is that just me?

    That glass looks empty

    Cyclists on Pavements. Especially when they expect you to move out of their way.

    People who stand in shop doorways or supermarket isles talking. They start huffing and puffing when you ask them to get past.

    I really think I could turn in to Derek Bird this afternoon.

    Was soooooo tempted to kick one off his bike the other day and tell the stupid c*** which was pavement and which was road. This is what this last week has reduced me to....

    Rush hour, train is packed and some prick just has to try and force their bike onto the train....tyres rubbing dirt on peoples legs. But don't worry mate, why cycle to the next stop when you can get a 4 min train journey.

    Is There somekind of rule (that people ignore) about bikes on trains during certain hours? - or have I just made that up?

    When you are working flat out too much stuff and risk letting things slide and then your boss casually mentions 2 more huge projects are going to be delivered by you in the next three months.

    Oh, and sorry for annoying Cabbles there, that'll teach me to post without reading.
  • The tendency of tv channels to show the footage of goals filmed at eye level just before the adverts/end credits, giving you no perspective or idea of how good the strike is. Particularly annoying if you missed the goal during the actual match.

    Putting the dead cigarettes into a packet and taking it out to the bin. Coming back and deciding to have a last cigarette only to find that I have the stub ends in the house and the live tabs in the bin.

    Look, I don't wanna keep repeating my position on this, so this will be my last time;

    The BBC is a pile of shite, I watch it to try and get what I consider to be my money's worth. Although, I do except that this will probably mean me sitting there, watching 3 tellies, 24 hours a day for the next 103 years. ...
