Silly things That Irritate you for no good reason.

For example, if there are four, and the end one is occupied... you would not use the one next to it. To do so would surely be sinister.

Si.

Yet i also see as the same 'bus' ettiquette. If there were some empty seats & someone i didn't know sat next to me, i'd probably be just as unnerved.
Btw... I got 40/60 on test.

Unless it was an attractive woman.

Unless it was an attractive woman.

I'd still think it was odd. I'd probably ask her if she'd lost her guide dog.

Going back to the title of this thread I'd like to enter that exact scenario that Wayne has described (although it applies on trains, trams and tubes too) as one of those silly things that I really hate - I really get quite worked up about things like that - I've been known to get off trains or the tube when that has heppend!!!

Getting into passionate arguments on messageboards about things that aren't very important anyway.

Oh, and that trailer for The Chase is irritating me. I don't watch that much in the way of TV broadcasts, but if I see Janet Dibley saying "With the nurse!" one more time, I may scream. Quietly.

With the nurse.

[Andrew Curnow]

I don't think they should be remaking it without the Mechanoids anyway, it's a daft idea.

Well said, sir!

Just to prove that I agree with Logo at least once a year.

"Lady Muck!"

**** Off!

Ta, but, aw, we don't disagree that much, do we?

I've just checked our latest postings in MacNimon's season-by-season thread and found that there's only about two stories in last year's series where our scores differ by more than a point or two.

Square manholes! NO!

[Captain Tancredi]

For square men, surely?

It bugs me when shop assistants say "...and your receipt" as they hand you your receipt. One of these days I'm going to tell a checkout girl how disappointed I am as I thought it was a miniature reproduction of the score of Bruckner's 7th Symphony...

[Logo Polish]

People on history TV programmes who insist on saying about people long dead, "So and so is in a position where..." in a futile attempt to make it sound more immediate and modern.

No, no....no, don't.

Dumbass user names.

[Logo Polish]

That word always makes me think of William Shatner.

[Paul Monk]

Double dumbass on you!

[Rob McCow]

I can't STAND it whenever I go to pay at a CHECKOUT and there is a PERSON SERVING there WHO is about to give me my change and I'm HOLDING my WALLET OPEN AND they just hold the change until the RECIEPT is PRINTED and THEN they WRAP the change IN THE RECIEPT and give it to ME, so I HAVE to UNWRAP the change to put it in MY WALLET!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHH!!!

I'm with you on that one!!!

[SiHart]

When I had my shop I used to do that deliberately!

Si xx

[Pip Madeley]

One thing I *hate*...

Why do couriers say they'll call anytime between 9 and 5? You've got to wait EIGHT BLOODY HOURS!

(I do have good reason there)

Dumbass user names.

I really hate it when I'm asked to type in my P.I.N number! It's not a PIN number! It's a P.I.N...that's it! A Personal Identification Number! Not a Personal Identification Number Number!!!!

[Dave Tudor]

I'm with you on that one, brother! Grrr.....

[Wayne]

Don't worry, Tim. You haven't got (slight return) at the end your name.

My turn to hide. I habitually refer to it as a pin number.
