I went to one of those places...I was in and out in 40 minutes...

So another peeve...why don't those stupid suction cup things on the ends of shower curtains ever stay on the wall? We've even got tiled walls, so should be perfect but they still never stick.

Ketchup bottles that explode ketchup all over the place...bonus points when you're wearing a white shirt or jumper.

Self important pompus people...picking up the misssus yesterday and one of the VP's was in and he kept telling me who he was and how important he was. I don't give a shit, I'm picking up the missus and waiting for the little one to get out of the bog.

People crossing the way in the car park, but don't actually properly walk all the way over, they start, then continue to walk down the middle of the way...I was waiting for you to get out the way you sniveling cockjunky and now I'm stuck driving 1 mile another way for you to get over.

Yes like High Street, on the top of a bloody mountain,, what a stupid place to build a road, no wonder they got booted out of Britain.

Blinding sun, when in the car....especially when you get around a corner...and how the car behind never gets affected and then gets pissed at you for slowing down....arse.

Dead skunks by the side of the road, minging...clear the buggers already :/

Debris on the motorway...clear it up when you clear the busted cars...knobs...and don't leave it on the hard shoulder, some poor sod pulling over doesn't need to blow a second or third tyre because of all that crap lying around.

Buying something, then finding it cheaper in the next shop you go to, big arse.

Brady, he's shit and getting way to much attention...and the Patriots this season, to the Bills and now the Giants, really? How shit is that.

American football. It's not even football, just a padded up, helmet wearing, slower, boring adaptation of rugby.

Just run them over - I think the smaller ones are worth more points.

The larger ones, well, you either need a main battle tank with tracks and a 77 ton weight to get over the 'obstruction'.

It does up the fuel consumption, but it is a little more fun. If you are currently dealing with snow & sleet on the road, just say you lost control when the Fuzz turns up!

If this was truly American, you'd include guns and gratuitous law suits as part of the game, and in New York you'd play 2 mins a quarter and add in a ton more gesticulations. In Texas you might use really really big helmets. And guns.

I might actually watch that!:p

The term "hubs", "hubby" or "the hubster". Oh and "okie dokie".
They all make me think of gormless churchey women in brown cardigans, walking shoes and tortoiseshell glasses, saying it to their similarly clad friends at church gatherings and book clubs.

baby clothes, onesies in particular that have buttons rather than snaps...what arsehole thought that was a good thing? Someone with a maid no less.
