British Expats - Pet Peeves?

People who have to politicize everything, all the time. From both sides. You get the right telling you how you should live and the left telling you how you shouldn't. All the ****ing time. I'll make up my own bloody mind, thanks all the same.

More of an arsebook thing, that but it still arses me off nonetheless.

I put a post yesterday on my FB page telling all that I didn't need to read their crap views and soundbites on my news feed (especially when it was labour party guff!). Hopefully I've been 'de-friended' :sneaky:

Just checked, they're still there on my list ;)

They're maybe quiet today as Ed Milli is getting some stick today at home for saying it's (partly) David Cameron's fault that migrants are drowning :blink:

I would say it was their own fault, but I'd get tutted at loudly and dirty looks would be thrown in my general direction.

Perhaps it is, but at the risk of a pun, they're sort of stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. Stay in wherever they're from and get persecuted or try for a better life elsewhere. Unfortunately I think it will be a problem that cannot be solved.

When you engage the cord-retractor foot pedal on the vaccuum... but it doesn't get sucked up because there's a knot in the cable so you have to get down and untangle it.

(Yeah, I'm lazy).

Even worse; when it doesn't retract and there isn't a knot in the cable!! I end up pulling it out a little and then try again ad infinitum :(

Yup, that's worse - false hope.

I've been known on occassion to put the vaccuum back in the cupboard with half the cord hanging out rather than sort it out. It's only going to get pulled out again anyway... :lol:

News sites that autoplay a video clip. If I wanted to watch it I'd have the TV on - I'd rather read the article.

People in Colorado with the damned "Respect Life" plates. The plate was made for the Columbine school shooting but anti abortionists decided to hijack them.

The majority of women's tops, t shirts, blouses, etc, the material is so thin you have to get a tank top to go under it. Doesn't matter how much they cost, or what store they are from, it's all to common. Going without a tank top and flashing a bra is not a look that I like.

When someone jumps onto your computer, signs you out and leaves their stuff signed in.
