Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Then reconsider whether you are competent and safe enough to drive a car.

They definitely should do, probably won't, and in my opinion aren't!

Dont open the wardrobe doors then...!🤣⚰️⚰️⚰️

Staying at a famous hotel in Dublin the room had a pleasant air of a ladies scent.

I opened a drawer.

The contents included a quantity of scanty and probably expensive ladies underwear. I'm no expert but there seemed to be more than one ladies' garments there.
Along with devices that required batteries.
Goodness knows what I might have missed.
I closed the drawer and asked for a different room.

Paws For Thought and The Paw The Merrier are two more stupid names for a dog associated business, especially the latter one!! 🧐

I have to admit I have a soft spot for places that use puns. I'd rather string up anyone who refers to their pet as "my fur baby".

I really hate it when parents call their toddler son "little man' and just as bad I heard, which happens quite often, a bloke call his young son 'mate' earlier today. I remember when my daughter was at junior school a parent called his son 'dude' and the same father was reprimanded for his son calling the school's headmaster 'mate'!!

I call my son little man, or I did when he was smaller. Also mate on occasion. So what? What should I have called him? It was literally accurate, he was small and, in the sense of a human male rather than a grown example, a man. 🤷‍♂️
What do you suggest: young man? It's almost the same.
I call my daughter poppet sometimes too. Have you got a problem with that as well?

Poppet's ok as it's an affectionate name, but a boy isn't a little man, he's a boy and he's a son, not a mate (not necessarily aimed at you, so don't be getting all het up ) . I suppose you think calling a headmaster or anyone in a position of authority mate is ok as well!

 

[Dadam]

Well, just because of you, I'm going to call him mate more now. I quite like it actually so thank you! 👍
I'm just thinking, buddy is a good one. Think I'll use that too.

False equivalence fallacy. What I call my son has zero relevance to what somebody else called a headmaster once!
Anyway it depends on who's doing the calling. I don't know any headmasters so can't say about those, but since you ask, I have on occasion called the CEO of my employer mate, as I've known him for years. I wouldn't agree with a child calling their headmaster mate but you didn't specify

Don't forget 'pal', 'chief' and 'dude'!!

You really mustn't bother too much with what others use as familiar terms, it'll only lead to

You get an announcement email (confirming an event that everyone knew would happen quite soon) that's been sent to 30-50 people. Everyone that reads it wants to know ONE thing:
- the date of the event.

Is it SOOOOOOO hard to put that in the Subject field?? Instead of buried in the 3rd paragraph.

I was riding my bike in Ireland in July. Two lads called me “THE Dude” as I passed. I was on my recumbent at the time.

In Birmingham they would have shouted out "DLA!"

There must be something in the water here. On one occasion a thug expected me to cross the street and go over to him and on another somebody expected me to stop and 'lend' him my bike!

Home Alone, the movie. Or should that be movies, any of them.

Every Christmas they put this damn movie on.
