General things that Annoy you

I’m not sure canters will appreciate us all flooding this thread with comments…

With climate change it will be water over the bridge.

I was reading an article describing the differences between the iPhone 15 Pro and the vanilla iPhone 15.
If I had the money, I’d go for the one which doesn’t smell of ice cream.

My local Chinese takeaway has changed its supplier of plastic pots, resulting in us having a collection of them where half the lids don't fit.

Have  you tried blowtorching the lids (or pots, whichever is now too large) so that the plastic shrinks to the appropriate size?

Based on experience, I would do it outside.

When a song gets stuck in your head and that song is Let it go from Frozen. Thanks kids. 

Brings back terrible memories of a Christmas a few years back. We had booked lunch in a local bar/restaurant and had to wait downstairs for a table. They had decided to have karaoke in the bar, very loud karaoke. All families in there, thinking one of them could sing - a bloke murdering Roy Orbison, being told how great he was by the MC and all his kids, grandkids and assorted relatives encouraging him to do one more, when he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Then one of the kids gets up and utterly mullers Let it go, I mean, it's a shit song in the first place, but avoiding any right notes for three minutes was an art form previously unbeheld. "Fantastic, we'll have one more from her later" - we couldn't get up those fucking stairs quick enough...     

Karaoke has it's place, and bad singers (me) having a go is part of the fun, but when you are expecting a cosy Christmas dinner, with a few cheesy Xmas songs and carols playing gently in the background and you get Black Sabbath level chronically dreadful pub singers, it's enough to put you off your pigs-in-blankets.

What about war pigs in blankets?

I see what you did there...

Scumbags. 

My sisters wedding yesterday, driving from the church to the reception and one of the 2 wedding classic cars had a breakdown on the inside lane of a dual carriageway (no hard shoulder). It was clearly smoking and having isssues. The 2nd wedding car containing a 2,3,5 and 8 yr old stopped behind it. 

Me and my bro in another car saw what happened so pulled into a side road, I was waving traffic down tlso that no one would go into the back of them, my bro was talking to the driver seeing what could be done. After a couple mind the traffic was obviously slowed as the 2 lanes merged to get round them still moving and not a big queue. Then a white van decided to pull next to the car full of already terrified children and stop and shout abuse at them. "What the f are you doing, you can't f-ing stop there you dickheads" etc etc. Just an absolute low life thing to do. The car clearly had no choice about stopping and you choose to shout abuse at children for it. Scum.

Luckily we got everyone there and the rest of the day was amazing...

Which is when you take the cricket bat from the boot, smash all the windows on the van and then shout 'keep going mate, you can't fucking stop here you prick or you'll get your fucking head smashed in as well.' That's the way to an easy life, simples. 

You both have my sympathy.
It' s like your worst nightmare breaking down in situations like that.
What you need then is help and assistance not abuse.
On a slightly lighter note, I once broke down at a junction on a steepish incline.Soon had a dozen cars backed up behind me.
Wacked the hazards on whilst I  pondered what to do, as nothing could get past and I couldn't push the car uphill.
Just then a motorbike pulled alongside and the rider shouted "Oi mate, do you realise you are indicating to go both ways at once".
Was going to give him both barrels, but glad I didn't because when he realised I'd broken down he parked his bike and helped me push the car up the incline and onto the side road out of harm's way

The Kenco coffee advert. A couple of young girls playing football in the alley and a miserable old got shouting “you can’t play there”.

The Japanese have solved the problem. A wonderful toilet experience.

Tokyo finest 

I have never used one of these. I'm impressed how clean it is. Genuine question. You still have to wipe your nether regions dry do you not?

Most of them have a button for that too.

And what/who cleans all those buttons?
