Trivial things that annoy you

El Guapo! · 2013-01-17 23:49:09

As the title says, what seemingly trivial things bug you? There's plenty for me, but lately its a spoon. In the top drawer in the kitchen we have all the cutlery in one of those tray things that everyone has. Everything's in its own little section. But there's one bastard spoon doing my head in. I have no idea where it…

I skip all that and just call them witches and sorcerers and splash them with holy water any time they come near...

At least cats sh*t in a litter tray and cover it up. I despise having to clean up some absolute c*nt's dog's **** from outside my front door cos the owner is a scumbag who can't be arsed to do it themselves.

I hate c*nts who don't clean up after their f*cking dogs.

Cats > dogs.

And, AND, if a cat throws up it's not only relatively tidy but the freaky, backwards, zombie-moonwalk is f***ing hilarious.

That said I like both, just dogs are messy as all christ.

I despise the word "boffin". It actually gives me that horrible skin crawly feeling when i hear/read it.

The fact that literally every single science story in jizz rags like the Sun and Star uses it multiple times fills me with rage.

They're rarer but trust me, cat farts are worse. Despite them being little clean freaks barely twice the size of your foot, they create an inexplicable toxic awfulness that even the smelliest of dogs could never compete with.

Very true.:mad::D

Tis even worse when the little fecker is sitting under your nose, and looks at you with that looks that says "Yeah, that was one of mine, watchya goin to do about it"?

Launching the cat out of it at the speed of light usually has 2 effects, neither of them good. The first is that it stirs up the more volatile gases in the immediate vicinity of the cat's arse, or worse, releases a repeat performance, and the second is that on take off, the cat will immediately plant as many claws skin shredding razors as can be brought into play into the thinnest part of whatever you're wearing.

Even worse is waking at 0 dark hundred to the sound of ( I sense a vote coming)

The cat flap rattling, and a few seconds later, the cat's latest victim starts screaming the place down because it hadn't died before the cat decided to bring in your present.

One of the cats enjoying crunching the last few morsels of whatever it caught outside a few minutes ago. Why do they always leave some of the nastier bits that they don't want in the middle of the furriest carpet?

or

One of the cats barfing up a furball on the quilt by your feet.

you just KNOW that means getting out of the warmth to deal with the outcome.

Had awful trouble trying to type this, one of the cats is determined to try and play with the mouse cursor on the screen:D

Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

I feel your pain Irish Steve. I've got the 14 week old foster kitten going mental exploring the living room and determined to scale the laptop at all costs. She's recharging her batteries on the other sofa now, getting ready for the next round. Our eldest chap is going to start the mournful meowing to be let in in a few minutes, I can hear him mooching outside the living room door, he's not trusted with her, the other 3 are fine with her thankfully.

You should probably steer clear of reading the Sun and Star then. Just a suggestion.

I think it goes back to the 3 men and a boat programme a few years ago. I just find him an insincere, arrogant, obnoxious git. I admit it, I am watching the One Show, I should hang my head in shame. In my defence, I'm waiting for Eastenders and it's too noisy next door to turn the tv off.

For me its TV programmes like eastenders showing someone experiencing a real life mishap, then at the end of the program "If you have been effected by this episode call the Ive stubbed my toe hotline, there will be someone to help."

Fecking hell don't wrap the whole of life in cotton wool.
