I hate it when the waitress doesn't ask me to meet her in the bathroom for a quickie.

That has been spoiled for you by these basterds of attentive lovers that take their time and find the female orgasm important. I hate that when they spoil it for us all. ;)

Wilful ignorance. And stupid questions. ("You've sent me a letter asking for bank statements. Does that mean I have to bring in bank statements?" Me : "Let's take a wild guess and say 'yes', shall we?")

Bad spelling and poor grammar.

People who do as they're told simply because someone told them and 'it must be right'.

Movie websites that constantly refer to new projects as "rebooting the franchise/series".

Pretty boys at the gym who just work on pretty muscles and stand in big groups when you are trying to do weights at the gym. (and because summer is coming there has been a massive increase)

Have you ever considered that maybe the pretty boys are, like Erich Kriegler, into each other and not into girls?

People who say 'grass' instead of 'grarse' when they aren't from the North. It's just wrong.

Hmmm depends on where you class the North to begin. It's confusing for those of us in the Midlands!

Thumbs up bitches in YouTube.

Nobody should say 'grass' instead of 'grarse'. It's just wrong.

There's only one 'r' in 'grass'. No 'r' in 'bath' or 'castle'.

It's bleeding grarse, barth and carstle!

Though it does help that I sound a bit like Michael Caine.

Scotch whisky? It's bloody expensive.

So'm I ;)

I downed a pint once, to win a bet. That was on top of the other I was drinking. Unfortunately, the pint was Bells :x

Still, I won the bet. And walked home.

My current pet peeve is that NFL players, coaches, and owners are being forced to wear pink and fuschia-colored ribbons to "raise awareness" of breast cancer in women. Their towels are pink, their headbands are pink, their official hats that they wear at press conferences have pink mixed in with the primary colors of the team's logo, their jockstraps are pink....

I mean, where does the pussification of American men end? This is a man's game. It was devised by men, played by men, for the enjoyment of men (and any chicks that want to sit quietly on the couch and not ask stupid questions or offer their opinions on which team has the best color scheme going into the fall season).

Honestly, why aren't these players, hell, the NFL as a whole, trying to draw attention and raise awareness for diseases such as testicular and prostate cancer? Too many men die needlessly from prostate cancer that, had it been detected earlier, could easily have been treated. But nooooooooooooooooooooooo.... the NFL wants to get behind these women and their causes, a cause that I might add, has already received extra-significant support from Hollywood and the government. Susan G.Koman's Race For The Cure being just one of the most high profile ways people are trying to help beat breast cancer.

But most of all, I find this really, really offensive:


It's about MORE than saving a woman's breasts; it's about saving her life. This sort of cheap, marketing and sloganeering reduces women to nothing more than the owners of two mounds of gelatinous heaven, even though their lives are worth so much more. Quite frankly, I've been surprised to not see more feminist organizations speaking out against this splinter group Save The Tata's. While I'm sure they mean well, the focus is all wrong.

Job rejections, even by email, even by auto send thingy, at quarter to two in the morning. I've got a whole host of things for Room 101.

I used to have a taste aversion to rap but I must say it has grown on me. I love all types of music besides what today is basically "country-pop" (give me some Johnny Cash though and I'll be good forever). Like it or not, people like Kanye West understand modern music production unlike a lot of musicians. I love some Jay-z and some Run DMC.

Cosigned. You have to wade through a lot of shit, but there's some truly great hip-hop out there that's not all about hoes, money and bling.

Ant & Dec and "I'm {kinda} a celebrity get me out of {this thing I chose to do and get paid for} here".

also

Katie Price....wtf at least Jade had the decency to die!

I hate reality TV incidentally I guess I could go for a global shot in room 101 but I prefer to see it disintegrate bit by bit.

When you put on your turn signal to make a right turn and you look in the rear view mirror, the driver behind you is either not slowing down and he is tailgating you or he is honking at you because he thinks you are not making that turn quick enough or they move to the left lane to go around you at the last minute, barely missing hitting you and some of them will even honk at you and give you the Texas salute with their fingers as they pass you by.

Are people in such a hurry nowadays that they can't spare 1-2 min to allow the driver in front of them to make a right turn?
