International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). You know those funny hieroglyphics you get on Wikipedia that are supposed to indicate how a word is pronounced? I can't make head nor tail of them and have to look up what they mean, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Thank me later as you lose all those pesky friends and family that used to bother you all the time 😙
 
Antsy Amazon drivers - ding dong ding dong, knock knock knock, ding dong ding dong. I swear the last dong was still ringing when I got to the door - by which time he was round the back of the house. I said “give me time to answer the door ffs.” He says “there were no lights on so I thought no one was in.” I said “it’s two o’clock in the afternoon.” “Yeah well you must appreciate, in this job we don’t have time to waste.”

I told the last one that I didn't live in the fucking vestibule.
 
Got an email from Amazon that my package is out for delivery. Click the tracking button. Apparently it's one stop away. The icon of the delivery van is showing in Bathgate. 🙄
 
Went to the chemist and got my script. Then along to Scotmid to post a letter that was going to Canada.

Anyway the post office bit is closed but they can sort it at the tills.

About 10 in the queue for messages and post. An auld lad in his motorised chair was withdrawing money.

There was nowt in the till so the lassie went and sorted it.

Then this daftie kicks off because he's waited 13 mins to post a letter. Shouting like a bam about how he's no well 🤣

The auld geezer in the chair then gets involved telling said daftie to shut the fuck up.

Queues are a part of life here. The staff are doing their best.

Anyway as the daftie moved towards the door I jumped right in.

Folk kicking off about having to queue when the staff are over run.

I didn't no. The actual post office was closed hence having to use the tills.

And the post office should be fully staffed as long as the shop is open. It would help the mental health issues of fuckwits that can't handle waiting in line. Fuckwits would then crack up about increased costs due to all the extra staff.
 
Aye apparently the post office lassie could only work the half day.

They put self serve thingy tills in that I've seen very few use.
 
When you pay by contactless and the staff don't show you the screen on their device.

Just a wee bit annoying, but golf commentators who exaggerate distance to the hole for putts. Adam scott had at most an 8ft putt , commentator , 15ft 🤡
 
Little things that annoy you. Well, they are little and by fuck they annoy you, me anyway……

Clegs. Horseflies or whatever.

If their planet wide demise caused the total collapse of the earth’s entire ecosystem then it would be a price worth paying.
Summertime. A nice warm day. A nice stroll in the countryside. It calls for tee shirt and shorts. NOT WHEN THESE BASTARDS ARE AROUND🤬🤬🤬
You don’t even realise until you feel the bite and by then it’s too late. The rest of the day trying not to scratch the bloody insane itching. 😭😭😭

I laugh with and not at your comments. For me the eternal battle is with mosquitoes which flourish here in Holland with all the still or slow-moving water in the endless ditches, irrigation systems and canals where the wee f%&%#€$ lay their eggs.

Still, I am well-drilled now and as soon as I hear the high-pitched whine around my ears on the couch or in bed, I know I will draw her (only the females as you all know) in and despatch her to insect Valhalla in 15 minutes, almost to the second. A flat piece of paper slowly applied to the mozzie's 'final base camp' on the wall above my head does the trick.

Like the clegs, I'm sure they're good for something but I just don't want to know.
 
Don't start on shrinkflation. Thought I was getting reasonably priced chunky kit kats. Turns outs the are about 3 bite size. And as for calling it a chunky kit kat. You use to need a new set of teeth after eating a Yorkie bar now its gone in seconds.

F*ck me!
You get a Kit Kat that instantly becomes a Yorkie bar, and you're complaining?

You need the Chunky Duo Kit Kat - I had one on my bike run the other day (and a Yorkie as it happens).
 
Youtube videos that use the old scratchy filter to make the video look old, even if the topic is modern.
Just been watching one about Muslim apostates and had to bin it after a couple of minutes.

My biggest gripe with them is that they bang on the glass part of my door. When I answer, I point to the bell right next to the glass and ask if they considered pressing it instead.

Are you suggesting that @Doc Shrink is getting fat?
 
Anybody who presses the buzzer in my stair. If i don't answer, they get a neighbour to buzz them in. Then they knock on my front door.
If i'm not in, on the first buzz. I'm defo not in, on the knock at the door.

Talking of tennis, see when players do the wee hand apology thing for when the ball hits the top of the net and goes over. That randomly really annoys me.

Mibby should reverse it, apologise for winning a point and fist pump when the ball hits the net and drops over 😜
