I thought that there were only so many of these "things to be grumpy about" but this morning I found a new one, for me anyway.
It is
Websites where you go through a long and tedious log-in process, and at the very end you are told "Sorry, site is down, try again later". WTF could they not have told you that up-front???
If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.
Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being - Elvis Costello
Can there really be 403 other errors that are more important when loading a website, than the fact that the frickin' thing isn't there in the first place?
I can't believe I left this one off my original list; "Political correctness".
Few things make my blood pressure increase more, than the loony PC brigade.
Oh it's gone mad. In a bakery the other day I asked for a gingerbread man. She corrected me by saying they were gingerbread "people". After thoroughly examining all the items, not one of them was wearing a skirt which I then used to further infuriate this idiot. I told her that they couldn't possibly be a collection of people as none of them had a skirt. She told me that women don't always have to wear a skirt, and if they please, could also wear trousers. I asked if she often mistook the standard, stick figure shape of a man for a woman and regularly found herself in gents toilets.
Cor, that's an idea. Maybe I could wander into women's toilets and claim political correctness as an excuse.
Coupla years back the main toilets at a service station were out of action and everyone had to use the disabled. Walked in on a young woman having a ? (she wouldn't let me have a closer look) who had forgotten to lock the door. Made my day. Actually it made my year. Actually it made my entire life!!!
******* tv-based affectations. chan - *******- dho indeed!
S*c**l*sts.

Gordon Ramsey. Gordon ******* Ramsey, he's a cook FFS, women's work, pah!
The BBC
Anything with that ******* spastic bastard Graham (oh, look, wouldn't you like to chop me up into little pieces and force-feed the pieces to whatever ***** at the bbc thought it would be a good idea to spend any money on the grinning inane little faggot) Sodding Norton!!!!!!! BASTARD BASTARD BASTARD.
Ermm, has anyone mentioned Sas? (Only joshing, personally I like SAS, it's that ***** Spartacus I hate..........)
Don't mind Graham Norton, but you're right about those cooks. Missus keeps watching sodding cooking programs! hate em.
Why can't they just combine the whole boring load of crud? - celebrity dancing contests, idiots on desert islands eating ants, cooking contests, doing up some boring house for under £15k, flogging antiques from the attic, making a new life in Spain etc etc into one 5 hour long show called "The most boring load of old crap ever in the history of TV" and screen it at 3AM? Then we can have good stuff like endless repeats of The Simpsons.
