    can’t fit the car in the other half’s carport.

    I thought someone had already mentioned showoffs?

    I suck at parking too. So hard to get used to something so big

    Shouldn't have waited so long for the surgery eh.

    I hate office birthday celebrations. A bunch of people singing a shit song half-heartedly to justify getting a piece of shitty cake afterwards.

    The "it's your birthday so you have to supply the cake" nonsense. I never let people in the office know when my birthday is. The cake is a lie.

    Fucking this.
    I used to only half-jokingly claim that my boss sending a "happy birthday" email to me with the office cc-ed was an abuse of my HR-records-privacy.
    It's a simple deal - I won't eat any of the shit cake your plain wife baked last night, or you bought at the Tesco on the way to work... and I also won't bring in any shit cake I picked up from my local Waitrose.

    Indeed. You won’t be bringing unicorns either.

    Roadworks

    This. I live in a holiday area so why do the morons at council wait until summer when we have an influx of thousands of people here to block off roads. The queue yesterday was backed up for miles. What should have been a 7 minute trip took over 40 minutes.

    Do it before Labour weekend - no problem you idiots. We don't even get that much rain so why? FFS.

    I'm seriously into Christmas - traditions and all.

    But Secret Santa in the office can fuck right off - particularly after some prick gave me a gift card for a £20 donation for a Goat for Africa. Fluffybunny.

    Hmmm. Tagine makfoul (unfortunate name when put in English, sounds like something the Scottish have done to a chicken). Could just be an American burger fast food outfit too.

    There is a whole new thread there too - GOAT for Africa (rugby wise).

    My recent posting has highlighted I should add the Canes and the Warriors as they’re making me grumpy as fuck at the moment.

    If anything sport has made me less grumpy the older I get. Years of Black Caps Cricket and Scottish Rugby do that to a person

    Oh, the Magpies and ABs generally have me happy.

    It's not actually the ability of the teams that annoy me, it's the selectorial policies.

    And another one - the push to call franchise rugby club rugby. Fuck off with that NH bullshit.

    Pricks stopping to have a chat in the middle of a pedestrian throughway.
    For example, a beer event. Hosted in a stadium, so the entire event is in the circular concourse around a stadium. And fuckers are stopping in the middle of the concourse, forming massive circles, to have chats and what-not. Stopping other fuckers from easily getting past them to spend more money on over-priced over-hopped sometimes-delicious craft-beer-piss.
    I've always hated it in on your basic sidewalk. But when it's an enclosed event, with a very obviously enclosed space... and there's fucking dedicated space off to the sides for sitting/gathering/chatting.

    What-The-Fuck-You-Stupid-FluffyBunnies.

    I can't count the number of times my consumption of deleterious-to-my-health goodness was delayed by several seconds due to these pricks having actual friends, and choosing to chat somewhere between me and the next bar.

    Just enjoy the strange and wonderful beer, have a perve and listen to the live music.

    If I was one of the people who blocked you I make no apologies at all.
