BPme “rewards”. Been collecting them for years after BP binned nectar off. Recently my local garage switched to Esso so now it’s back to nectar. Thought I’d cash in my whopping £30 worth of BP reward points.

Exchanged for love2shop vouchers thinking that gives the biggest variety. Only to find you can only take £5 vouchers at a time so I ended up with six £5 codes. Surely you can combine the £5’s to make a larger balance? No.

When Im in love2shop cashing my £5 vouchers one at a time, I go for Just Eat vouchers. However, the minimum voucher for Just Eat (and all the restaurants) is £10, so non starter - you can’t combine.

So I decide to request 6 separate £5 Argos vouchers. Time consuming yes, but I thought £30 at Argos will buy a new something of use.

Alas, after all this pissing around, Argos only allow three vouchers to be used per transaction. So it’s actually two £15 purchases.

What a long winded hour long ball ache. I’ll basically use it to get two £15 discounts of some bigger items but they don’t make it easy do they.

More recently I’ve started to become irritated when people say ‘less’ when in fact they mean ‘fewer’. I am now officially middle aged. I’m especially annoyed when I do this.

I also get irritated by people saying ‘stadiums’ instead of ‘stadia’. Although I’m not sure how grammatically correct this is. It still irritates me.

Yep I'm the same, same with people who hesitate badly when driving with all things.

I was stuck behind one yesterday, they literally stopped at junctions about 100 yards before the line and then slowly edged forward until they could see. Wonder how half the people pass their test (if they actually have)

Used to make me laugh when I was on the buses and I had a full bus, and people would beep me because I hadn’t moved instantly.

Mate, my foot was down ages ago.

There's a bridge around Bretford - I overtook someone once because I thought they'd parked outside a house, they were that far away from the line for the lights!

While we're at it, people who stop at roundabout junctions even if there's nothing remotely within sight, and it's a desolate wasteland devoid of cars other than us!

And don’t get me started on the people who brake BEFORE indicating. Bonus points for when they are looking for street parking and make it everyone else’s problem behind them

A bit of a similar thing walking up to the turnstiles. People start fumbling in their pocket, then through their wallet for their season ticket. Just get it sorted before you get there!

And people at supermarket checkouts who are always surprised by having to pay, so wait until they are told how much it is before even looking for their purse/wallet/phone or whatever!

And don't even get me started on the seemingly lost art of negotiating a roundabout ! Grrrrrr!

On the theme of driving/roundabouts…

Getting beeped at/sworn at etc when it’s them that are in the wrong!

That’ll fucking do it for me! Christ. I’m angry just thinking about it.

The other day caught the bus at the George Eliot 3 nurses in uniforn in the bus shelter having a fag before they went into work.Weather was fine otherwise might have had a discussion about it . I've no objection about people smoking just their choice of venue.The same day watched a guy on a mobility scooter having come on to the road because 6 or 7 car had blocked his way.Just wish some poeple would have a little bit of consideration for others

I think the common denominator with fuckwits is not just selfishness and lack of common sense but just having tunnel vision. Don't they ever observe the world and see other people mess up and think, don't be like that eejit?
In other words they can't reflect and learn from others' mistakes

I wonder if new cars have mirrors people never seem to use them when pulling out into traffic as well as looking over their shoulder or reversing and on that point how did some people ever pass their test or isn't reversing in the test now.When i took mine you had to use hand signals and starting handles

Old moaner back again went Coventry today first time for years Anybody used the Post Office at Smiths in Debenhams first of all you see the sign for it looking from the fountain in the square.Go in downstairs oh no you have to come out and go in the main entrance escalator not working in store.When you get there long queue 2 people working ( normal I was told by a regular) Plenty of tills on the side no one on them. I did notice only 1 lift working in the centre long queues at that.Are there no lift maintainance guys in this county same problem at Tesco's in Bedworth.,or are they just badly built in the first place. No more rants today going to lie down in a darkened room.Liked the fountains by the way.

People who have now become football experts (both men and women) and slating the men's game although they will never ever have any interest in going to a woman's football match.

Usually the same people who say there's no diving etc etc in the woman's game.
