Things that annoy you (17 Viewers)

The one that gets me with trains recently is when they basically decommission all reserved seats as it is too busy, a train has been missed etc but people still fight their way to their previously reserved seats as if it doesn’t count for them!

Had it coming out of Euston last week and this couple in their 50’s essentially tried to bully this girl but fair play to her she clearly explained what was going on, that her seat had been taken as well and basically tough fucking shit!

Happened to me, I had to bully this oik to leave my reserved seat. He did eventually leave, mumbling and grumbling. thankfully neither he or I had heard the announcement saying reserved seats had been cancelled, until about 10 mins later.

He never came back. Probably couldn’t reach me as the train was packed

18 month old’s sleeping pattern/habits have gone out the window this week. Was up with him from 2-5am then slept on his floor for a couple of hours.

Hate to break it to you mate but sleep regression is common at 18 months. Buckle up cos you could be in for a rough 3 months......

The forced happiness at Xmas time. Everyone should be jolly and merry etc when in fact the majority of us is miserable 90% of the year.

I do actually enjoy Xmas, but it's more down to having time off etc and being with loved ones than being a happy clappy merry person.

Also, thinking of it as Football Eve doesn't help

Again. Brooklyn Beckham and Gordon Ramsey's daughters wedding. Who really wants 50000 news articles a day?

I wasn’t sure if this should go in this thread or not…it didn’t actually annoy me but I imagine it would others. It rates as a 7 or 8 out of 10 on the weirdometer…

We stayed in the Novotel near the M6 last night. We had an adjoining room, so there was a locked door to the room next door, which appeared to be made of paper. This meant you could hear EVERYTHING.

Bad enough you might think. This became increasingly ‘interesting’ at 11pm when the guests parrot in the room next door started squawking incessantly.
When I knocked the door…“It’s alright it’ll be asleep soon. I’ll put the sheet over its cage”.

A fucking parrot!!!!

Oh we heard the person in there too. Her phone conversations to reception about the lack of electricity, her conversation with reception when they came and put the keycard in the slot correctly, her weird keyboard playing, the strange circus/keyboard type music she listened to, her retelling the events this morning of the previous night to someone on the phone…

Crikey, CV1 has really pushed the boat out for this NYE's entertainment in Broadgate it would appear.

Maybe the parrot plays the keyboard while wearing a little top hat at the circus and she’s just the trainer?

A parrot coherent enough to reserve a room. Wow.
