Irritations

[Tani]

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but Jack the Ripper was (and still flippin is) an annoying little sod.

I know, I mean talk about scaring the customers away.

Young people. Why are they so...







...YOUNG?


Grrr

[c.d.]

People on the metro who are too cool to hold on to something while the train is moving. You can see them struggling to keep their balance while attempting not to show it.

Opening a pack of bacon where in the corner it says “peel here”
Yeah right… Like that ever works.

[c.d.]

People who pay top dollar to buy jeans with huge rips in them. It looks like they were in an accident and the paramedics had to cut away material to treat them.

Skateboarders. Really hate those people especially those obnoxious and badly dressed little punks who think the sole purpose of life is to jump up on things like benches with their boards. I always hope they will fall and hurt themselves.

[c.d.]

Paper billing statements where you have to tear off the lower part and send it in along with your check. Sometimes they are not as perforated as they should be and when you go to tear it it rips the whole thing apart.

My comment above was tongue in cheek. Not meant to be taken seriously and no offense meant.

Uncultured people.

I'm out here learning poetry, literature and other points of culture and they're out there listening to someone sing about getting laid.

There's sex in Chaucer too - and it's better written

Look at this way, Tani. Uncultured people have a role to fill in society. Without them, you would not be able to feel cultured in comparison to them and they allow you to feel superior. Kind of like unattractive people. Trust Mother Nature, Tani. She knows what she is doing.

Hello Herlock,

Probably best to limit this thread to non-Ripper irritations. I'm sure you can figure out why.

Young people quitting jobs is very trendy right now. I suspect they feel all virtuous holding steadfast to their values and probably go to parties and say things like I quit three jobs last year, how many have you quit? I have to believe that somewhere reality is laughing its head off because you can't get unemployment if you quit a job in most cases. Quitting doesn't stop the bills from coming in so I suspect that many of them are living off of high interest rate credit cards and have a huge balance out the wazoo.

It's trendy because there are places paying higher wages and job loyalty has died because bonuses and pay rises are basically gone. If another crops up with a slightly better pay, that matters enough to young people to make them take that job, even if it's just an extra £250/month. That could pay the council tax. It's not thought fair to work hard and be offered no perks, bonuses or otherwise when that's what your parents had.
