Things that annoy you...

Yeah, a few of those sound very familiar.

Also:

The key part is the "having." They mean you want to simultaneously eat cake and still have the cake you ate. It's confusingly worded, but it's not technically wrong. It becomes more sensible sounding if you say "eat your cake and have it, too."

Death.

Also, the DMV.

.. I'll tell you whats really annoying..

so i got the Complete series Greatest American Hero Box-set...and the case is huge.. So i crack it open and what do i find? I mean if they went to the trouble of making the casing so volumous its gotta be for a reason right?

a booklet..maybe in the shape of the "suit instructions" yeah somethen clever like that.

nope. nada see attached photos (and ignore the background, my Wife has Elvis issues)

SpicyTornado-The unfunniest **** on the Internet made from the spawns of hell.
This website is the utter worst I have ever seen with webcomics and jokes. My utter distaste for it is so intense that I can't even begin to put it into words. The idea apparently came(and directly cited from their website) from

"Two brothers woke up one morning jobless and with too much time on their hands. So they went back to sleep. When they finally awoke at 4pm, they decided to devote their lives to creating funny comics."

The problem is, this is about as funny as watching grass grow. Here's a sample of some of their "work":
"Conan O'Brien The Barbarian"

"Gmail is for gangstas"

"The Suicidal Horse"

"Cheap Chinese Food Phenomenon"

It's unbelievable how tasteless and unfunny these things are; it's like they try to be unfunny. If you've already seen this, it's because it's plastered on the left hand side of MSPaint Adventures(now replaced by another Slipshine ad)

If you want to burn your eyes out some more and feel like you need to punch someone, their website is

When the rubric for a research paper tells you how many sentences something has to be. I can accomplish the task in an eloquent and informative way WITHOUT your sentence restrictions, dammit!!!

Cheap dvds of cult movies that have crappy unmastered pan and scan transfers.

British girls who idolize Katie Price aka Jordan and subsequently think a fake orange tan, garish trowelled on make-up, fasle eye lashes and porn star heels looks good.

People who sit on crowded buses and trains with their bag on the empty seat next to them.

Manchester pedestrians who play pavement chicken, i.e. no-one moves for anyone else resulting in narrowly avoided shoulder barges and dirty looks.

Having to contort my upper body and play pedestian hopscotch to avoid said pavement chicken enthusiasts.

The fact that liking disco music is almost akin to being a male hairdresser...and the banter I sometimes get from my peers.

Fussy eaters, and people who pick at their food.

When I buy a dvd and a few months later they release 'the special edition'.

Movies that look like they've been shot through a monochromatic filter and edited on fast forward.

The over reliance on CGI in said movies.

That 70's fashions for men are never coming back.

People who don't say thank you or even aknowledge your presence when you hold a door for them.

The general errosion of basic manners and ettiquette in society.

Yeah, I hope flares never come back.

IMHO the '70s were the decade fashion forgot.

The long commercial breaks on Freeview really annoy me as well.

While I agree with you, especially the adoration of KP, the 'fashion' is more porn inspired and has slowly grown over the years.

I've never had this problem. You need cooler friends.

I'm not bothered by this.... Unless they're on Come Dine With Me. Don't go on a food show if you're not going to eat what's put in front of you. Having a religion or allegy is one thing, but just 'not liking' everything is really annoying.

I find embarrassing them after helps me feel much better. "Oh no, you're welcome(!)" or "How very rude of you(!)" or things like that work well, I find. Even if it's just that it makes me feel better.

Peach on, brother!

When I hold open a door, and someone doesn't say thank you, it doesn't bother me. I held the door because I was taught to be polite. If a person doesn't acknowledge it, that's a reflection of how they were raised. No skin off my nose.

furthermore, When one buys a complete series of a TV show on DVD, they shouldnt be forced to watch the opening sequence. Man oh Man is it ever annoying when clicking the next chapter button sends u not just past the opening, but halfway in.

gahhh

i am severely disapointed in this purchase.

I hate that too.

RE: People holding open doors, etc.

When someone does this for me I usually say "I learned how to open a door a long time ago but thanks anyway".

oh one last thing.

its tres annoying when their are special features, but they don't specify which disc of the 24 has them.

I'd take a douchey response like that to a gesture as an invitation to push you down the stairs harry.

Good luck with that.

And what stairs? The ones that lead down to your basement with all those buried body parts?

It's not as bad as you think it is. Trust me - I escaped.

People who laugh at/find joy in someone else's misfortune.

Pubs/bars where the music is so loud everyone has to shout at each other for conversation; resulting in extra loudness.

The same pubs/bars that constantly play generic 90's Brit-pop instead of classic Christmas songs during the festive season.

The Redemption dvd label and their crap inappropriate covers that are always unrelated to the film.

Poor UK customer service from twenty something, disinterested nonchalant staff that couldn't care less.

Thugs and scallies that like to get drunk and fight - usually with chilled out people who just want to have a good time.

Wow Used, have you moved to Australia

Facebook, complainers

No. I think you have to remember where 'you' came from.

As usual, I'm annoyed by far too many things to be able to sort them out and list them.
