Things that annoy you (20 Viewers)

I think that’s a big part of it actually. It was lauded as a big investment in the womens game and obviously kudos for Sky. Now they’ve got to make some of that investment back.
I wouldn't be surprised if some deal was done behind the scenes so the FA could announce a big investment from Sky but in reality they've just knocked that amount of other rights, maybe the FA Cup. The broadcasting rights market is collapsing for everything apart from those at the very top who can genuinely draw subscribers. Women's football is on a long list of things that doesn't apply to.

Just been in the toilet at the Fort. Someone has shit on the floor. Actual faecal matter, all over the floor. People are just fucking wrong.

Someone used to do this at my work, wouldn't even do it in the cubicle, would be like on the counter where you wash your hands or in the urinals, or even once, right behind the door as you enter, so everyone steps in it.

If the (lack of) crowds at the actual games are anything to go by I imagine the viewing figures are poor. I gave it a go but it’s not for me.
Even soccer Saturday have the women's stuff on the ticker but it's Manchester City.

Everything has to have a women's footballer crammed in because of it.

What does annoy me is when they don't differentiate between the men and the women. Couple of weekends ago people were banging on about the Manchester Derby. Thought it was odd they were playing when it was supposed to be the international break, it was a WSL fixture.

Yeah that's what I mean. It's weird.

They had a chance to create some different ‘big names’ in women’s football, instead they just dumped out the clubs who had taken it seriously in the first place and replaced them with the corresponding men’s clubs. My interest ceased at that point

I was heading to the toilet at work once and discovered a trail of shit leading upto the door, i went in wondering what i would find, whoever was responsible had left the scene, but not their boxer shorts which were screwed up in the corner of one of the cubicles.

When I was a PhD student there was a problem with people standing on toilet bowls, shitting over the floor, in the bin, in bags and so on. To the point where signs had to be put up telling people to sit on the seat and a long e-mail sent round by a top professor saying ‘if you keep doing this we’ll use the swipe access to work out who you are’.

This in a building supposedly of bright academics

Probably said before but my gripe is women football commentators. No problem generally, but some resort to a screechy shouting when the action increases. Even my wife who doesn't like football says they shouldn't be shouting like that. OK men commentators can get a bit excited at times, but with a lowere pitch, it's easier on the ears.

I believe it’s a religious thing, not sitting on the seat. Fine, whatever you want to believe in. Just clean your raw turd up for the next guy ffs 🤦‍♂️

Well it's a sub-continent thing to squat rather than have a Western-style toilet to sit on. Though I would have thought people doing doctorates could have worked out it wasn't to be stood on!

People who think it’s acceptable to take their dogs to a shop if the shop allows them I.e garden centres, pets at home etc.

im a dog lover and owner but wouldn’t take my dog to said places just because “I can”

It is definitely a cultural thing - particularly among Southeast Asians who also use squat toilets. I've had to manage this issue quite a lot in the workplaces i cover, with some very clever people but with no barometer to check their social skills, to the extent of putting up pictorial signs.

When i was a train in Vietnam a few years back, there is a squat toilet at one end of each carriage and a Western toilet at the other.
Waited for a little old local geezer to emerge from the Western bog to find his shoeprints on the seat on which he had clearly been squatting!!

The other issue i had at work was with people from Greece and all sorts of other countries putting their used bogroll in the sanitary waste bin as they don't put loo roll down the lav at home. Many complaints of the stench in the hot weather and the hygiene waste company wondering why they now had to empty the bin twice a week instead of every couple of months.

Cultural norms are difficult to change, it seems!
But shiiting on the floor in a pub toilet? That's just skanky - probably pikeys

The 2 e-mails I still have from the head prof were the stuff of legend.

'I have had numerous complaints from cleaners of finding excrement (shit) all over the floor in toilet cubicles' started the first one.

Even relatives turn up at your house with their dogs and don’t ask permission. Really fucking grates me.

We've got a single male bog at work. Little broom cupboard type shitter. Someone keeps doing horrendous smelling shits in it. It's not that which annoys me, it's the fact that I couldn't do a shit at work. Not in a single bog scenario. Too much pressure/embarrassment involved. So I'm annoyed at the size of the cojones on the bloke who is laying the foul smelling cable.

I'm just suprised at how clean and tidy that looks compared to blokes bogs.

Really not sure why anybody would think it's weird that a woman would need a tampon? I can only think he's a virgin.

Do your best to secretly find out who it was, then organize this years 'Secret Santa' and make sure they get them back as their 'present'

People who don't open a crisp packet properly.

Just open it completely all the way across the top, then you won't be fingering the crisp packet with 2 fingers trying to get a crisp out.
