Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[Grok]

The new fad of all the (new) East Dulwichites getting up out of their train seats and queueing at the doors the moment the train leaves Peckham Rye for ED? All for a 20 second headstart.

That 'Whippersnappers' thread

[Alan Medic]

Why does anyone write they are 'super excited'? Isn't being excited enough? Perhaps it's an extract from a Famous Five book. We had lashings of ginger beer and got super excited. Or maybe not...

[Louisa]

I've never personally heard someone say 'super excited' but it's the sort of language I'd expect in a LL boutique on a weekday afternoon (or in an independent local coffee shop).

Louisa.

....wouldn't hear it in Iceland would you Lou zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Louisa]

Or in tonight's Downton finale too. YES quids I do watch class based melodramas as much as Eliza Dootlittle would do if she were 1) real and 2) alive and kicking in the 21st century!

Having someone start to explain and/or describe something (object/foodstuff/person/place/nation/anything) then curtail said description with "Well, you can Google it."

Well thank you, yes I can, but I'd rather you made the effort to at least describe what you started to talk about a little further than its name and colour/shape/location and if you can't be arsed then don't bring the bloody subject up in the first place. I don't expect every encounter with a friend/colleague to end with a list of shit I have to Google to understand what was being talked about.

Scotch Eggs being messd about with

It's got sillier with Marmaduke ginger and orange

[KidKruger]

When did a piss become a 'comfort break' for buggery's sake.

[DulwichFox]

Can we name names. ?

Alan Carr - Chatty man.. Nauseating .. Not funny..

Even he has admitted to hating his own voice.. Cringe..

Foxy..

[DulwichFox]

GOD.. They are all on tonight.. Chris Evans.. Keith Lemon ..

Now I know why I always (usually) go out at night..

Night time T.V. is worst that Daytime T.V.

Foxy.

The new TGI Friday is painful to watch. I used to enjoy it back in the 90's.

[Louisa]

I must be getting old, but I miss good quality Light entertainment. Everything seems rehashed these days, and the entertainers themselves are second rate at best. I saw a clip of Les Dawson singing karaoke with an audience member on Cilla Black's surprise surprise the other night on YouTube and cried with laughter. Put Keith Lemon and chums on my screen and I don't flinch. I just don't get it, it's a desperate attempt at humour. Maybe I'm just old.

Louisa.

[DulwichFox]

In the past people like Les Dawson , Michael Crawford , John Cleese and many others were Naturally funny..

Chris Evans and the likes of Keith Lemmon are Trying (Desperately) to be funny.. It just comes across as sarcasm.

No Natural talent.

Cripes! me, Louisa and Foxy agree. Les was god and Lemon sucks.

However, Dick Emery, Terry and June, Harry Worth, Norman Wisdom, Larry Grayson... perhaps we don't entirely agree

[DulwichFox]

Larry Grayson larged it up on the gay scene to get cheap laughs..

He was once confronted by a mob of gay men and women from Lewisham (C.H.E.)Campaign for Homosexual Equality

when he appeared at Lewisham Odeon back in the 70/80's

They detested his blas? attitude to the serious problems gay people not so renowned as himself were facing.

Accidentally switching the rear window windscreen wiper on....then not knowing how to switch it off. Think you got it...then it goes again. Change the switch and it starts going faster...flick the switch again...goes slower...

[Seabag]

On the Trades/restaurant thread

Amazing cleaner Liaro (made up name, but she sounds good)

Awesome that

Fantastic so and so

Looking for sucessful tuition....(really, no!)

What's wrong with "satisfactory" as in "They cleaned my windows to a satisfactory standard"

However, had I read that i'd have thought "Wooohoo, lighten up 'satisfied' man why don't you"

In retrospect, i'm not as 'irrationally raged' as I initially thought

*ahem*

I'm guessing Skoda here. Speaking from experience ;)

Mail order firm (after I called them, coz their site don't work) tells me YES we have the item in stock

Emails me confirmation of dispatch

Next day email me "ah, not ACTUALLY in stock"

I call them and get a wet blanket response 'we're only a small firm'

I say "so small you can't drop me a call"

"Would you like to order something else?"

[BrandNewGuy]

Black Friday. P*ss off back to America.

[Salsaboy]

John Lewis click and collect:

Text saying item I ordered will not be ready for collection when they said.

30 seconds later email saying item is ready for collection.

5 minutes later text saying item is ready for collection.

30 seconds later email saying item is not ready for collection.

Make your fekkin minds up!

People i don't know that well who pick my spectacles up and try them on without asking.

No, they don't suit you as much as they do me so fuck off.

Southwark Council seem to think that there is a green bin collection on Tuesday 31 (sic) November, and a blue bin collection on Tuesday 1 December.

Therefore their December collections are all out of sync.

I depend on their collection day leaflet to know which bin to put out. Sad, I know.

Hey recycling people! Thirty days have September, April, June AND NOVEMBER :))

But even if there WERE 31 days, the next collection would not be on 1 December.

GRRRR GRRR GRRRR etc etc etc

ETA: Actually I think the above is a completely rational minor annoyance rather than irrational rage.

My rage is always COMPLETELY RATIONAL too though :)) :)) :))

OK, maybe it's not so tiny or irrational but it really drive me up the fecking wall... whispered dialogue on any drama on TV or film. I can never make out what the hell they are saying even when I turn the volume up to the max. It drives me nuts and annoys the hell out of me.
