You know the things.. the highly irrational things you are almost to fight over.. the controversial opinion that almost gets you shunned….
What are yours….
I have a few now officially being a grumpy old man of a certain age
Dark chocolate bounty (the red one) … miles better than the blue one!!! There I said it!!!!
Also.. for people of a certain age, thunderbird “red” .. so much better than “blue”
Tequila rose… honestly! Why you trying to make Baileys palatable!! In my day.. you either d*unk it to give you a warm fuzzy glow, or you cough on it and threw up later! None of this “Flavour” malarkey!!!!!! Youngsters of today!!
Escalator etiquette…. Stand on the left, let people who need to bomb it down on the right!!! When did this taking up both sides to gossip thing start! Oi.. no!!!
Also… people who stand still on a travelator! Laziest people on earth! … and if you are taking up both lanes to natter.. that should be a shooting offence!!!
And breathe…
I’ll be back with some more if you lot can inspire me!!!  |

My stance against label's and I don't mean tag's on clothing.
Today's society is obsessed with everything having to be labelled.
For example on radio this morning the presenter was saying about going "analogue" shopping, in reference to just going shopping to actual shops.
I was like "FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING DICK" someone has sat down and come up with the stupid label that shopping that's not online is "analogue shopping"
NO YOU STUPID CUNTS IT'S JUST SHOPPING FFS.
I'll get my coat

It's time to give up shopping when I start thinking of shallow grave locations for the next person to just stop dead in front of me, with absolutely zero spacial awareness, and have the brass neck to curse me for nearly falling over them.
Oh, and walk towards me when you're on your phone? I ain't moving and very few are big enough to move me!
Aside from that I'm a teddy bear. Wanna cuddle? |

FAB-wise - DMing me from a comment on a thread I made weeks ago and acting like I'm the problem when I ask for some context to the village-idiot-esque one-word cryptic messages.
You know who you are... |

"People who start sentences with "I'm not being funny, but...". Just own what you're going to say and be prepared for whatever flak is coming your way."
They're also rarely funny which would become self-evident. |

On the London Underground there are signs saying “stand to the right” so people can pass on the left. I guess it comes down to how much of a hurry you’re in |

Small talk with strangers is tedious and painful.
I don't know you enough to care how you are or what you've done today. Say something actually interesting or just get to the point. I'm not going to be more inclined to drop all my standards for a quick fuck just because someone went through the social niceties first 💜 |

I fucking hate small talk and because I suffer massively with anxiety I find I'm the worst and waffle inanely about absolute bollox.
Then hate myself and cringe after.
It's why I prefer to work alone. |

Most of the world it’s the opposite - walk on the left, stand on the right. I often stand still on walkalators (on the right!) it’s where I do most of my emails and messages ! |

Oh man you e started something.
People that leave a mess at fast food places. The cleaner is a person as well. Just put your shit in the bin.
This one's a bit controversial but trans men that believe they menstruate. Are they really that stupid.
People that cut in a queue because they "are busy or in a rush". I've got places to be too you utter weapon.
Shrinkflation in general
Today's obsession with "influencers" why live a life copying some eejit on the internet. Live your own life. Spend it discovering who you are and enjoying it.
Lastly, Love Island. Just don't.......
Phew and apologies if it doesn't really fit in here |

So you're saying that the Scottish invented New year's eve?
Prior to this January starter January 2nd
?
And every country worldwide who use the Georgian calendar which is every country in the world except 5, are all wrong to call it New year's eve ???? |

Umm. Unless they've had a hysterectomy or are using hormone suppressants, trans men WILL menstruate. That's assuming they were born with the typical female internal organs and went through female puberty. |

I'm gonna go with blatant misgendering rather than an actual misunderstanding 💜 |

People who stand and talk to each other for a long conversation infront of stalls at Christmas fairs or in front of shelfs at supermarkets. They are not talking to the person behind the stall at the market. They just pick that position to catch up with their friends. Meaning you cannot get to the shelf to see what's there or into the stall to see what's being sold.
They never gather somewhere else less in people's way.

Those chatterboxes in the middle of shopping aisles that let their trolleys block any progress for the regular shoppers just wanting to get their tinned peaches or mutilpack shit paper.
If you wanna chat about great aunt Ethel’s bunions……DO IT IN A FUCKING COFFEE SHOP! |

Wrapping dog shit in a plastic bag and leaving somewhere. This is only done by pathetic idiots who like to think of themselves as good people but only ever do the right thing because they think someone is watching. As soon as they believe they are unobserved they show themselves for the selfish, weak-minded, anti social, dirty, lazy, stinking cunts they are.

Staff in coffee bars who ask whether I want milk in my Americano...
Customers in coffee bars who order an Americano and ask for milk with it...
For the uninitiated, an Americano is - by definition - a coffee without milk. |

It’s daft saying black americano but if you don’t, milk. |

Actually the correct way to order it is.
Tea in a mug strong no sugar and a full English.  |

Just as annoying as coffee shops where you can't buy a simple white coffee. No, I don't want a flat white, I don't want a Latte, I want a coffee with a splash of milk. Yes, it's annoying having to order an Americano with milk but it's the only way to get the coffee I want.

Oh don’t get me started on tea making etiquette!
Anyway who ever puts the milk in first needs their passport taken away!!!!
I saw a YouTube video of another American woman and her child living in the uk who was making a cuppa by heating it up in the microwave .. I swear I almost called social services and claimed cruelty!!!!
And I hear Mi5 “disappeared” her… so not all bad!! |

1) pineapple and pizza, or gammon and pineapple very much work!
2) squirt is not purely wee!
3) it was already mentioned before, but if you're in a supermarket/shop and you've seen your friends/someone you'd like to catch up with, do invite them to a cafe etc rather than clogging the aisles
4) walking while staring at your phone should be prohibited
5) kids should not be allowed to run around the shop or supermarket, it's not a playground |

Those people who give you funny looks. You know, when they look right at you as if you done something totally egregious? All I did was rip your phone out of your hands (you know the one on which you were watching a stupid TikTok video at full volume in a cafe), smash it up, smash you up and smash the whole place up.
Mumble mumble look at me funny grumble mumble playing stupid videos mumble

Boob tubes… great in theory… in practice women forget gravity existed and just pull up the things all night!!
Also… need a ruling on when a spoiler is now longer a spoiler… I am not waiting on you 6 months to catch up so I can then talk about it!!! For example whenever people say they are watching games of thrones I have to ask where they are up to so I can talk about it!!! |

Agreed there should be a similar thing to the statute of limitations.
Let's say after 6 months of a show or film airing it's fair game to discuss. |

Don’t forget the folk who see a boob tube and take it as a green light to pull it down, flash the norks and run away laughing! |

Whilst I dont find it mundane I have had multiple heated discussions about the myth of the superiority of German engineering.
I will argue until the day I die that Paris is inferior to Berlin as a holiday destination in every way possible
I will die on the hill of Scandinavia being superior to the south of France or Italy for a holiday
