People who use the "Seemingly trivial things..." thread to complain about really dangerous driving.

My smile. It makes me look like the nice kid who always finishes bottom of the class in every single subject and isn't even any good at sport to compensate. Then people complain that I don't smile enough in photos.0

Quite right finchy. Being told to smile for photos is irritating beyond measure. I would like to see a return to Victorian photography where everyone looks stern and serious.My smile.

Rick Stein the way he stands there watching other cooks cook their great food, with his notebook in hand stealing their recipes so he can put them in his next overpriced successful book.0

The b i t c h behind the freshly made pizza counter at the local supermarket who took the time to hide loads of fresh chillies under the pepperoni slices on the pizza I bought. Got through half of it before I started checking underneath them and discarding some. Bought that particular pizza plenty of times before and it's never been that hot :evil:0

Is there a polite way to tell someone to stop breathing through their nose or I may be forced to kill them?www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0

No, just kill them. At least you won't offend anyone. I'm not sure how well the defence would stand up in court, one of the legal types may have a better idea.

over on the CTC forum i think, maybe i'll join and ask his advice.
wasn't he of the opinion that if you couldn't prosecute a tree for the crime then you couldn't prosecute a person? something like that, it had lollipop sticks involved!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -
Those jerseys that boast 'Alpe d'Huez' or 'Col de Madeleine' , etc.
Makes me want to say "I've got a 'Box Hill' jersey, but it's in the wash" or
"But did you race for 100 miles before you ascended it, in mid-July?"0 -
Branston baked beans, one of the few cans left it seems to insist you need a tin opener rather than providing the ring pull opening.0

Asking someone on a date and feeling like a soppy teenager all over again. You'd think it would get easier with age.0

Cheaper than Heinz and look at the contents - higher proportion of bean and tomato.0 -

Tesco own-brand low fat rice pudding. The only can I come across that needs a can opener...
... Then it always breaks the can opener, half way round.
The money I save buying cheap rice pud, I must spend double on replacement can openers.
I only buy it because I heard in some interview that an endurance athlete eats it before an event. I don't know if it makes any difference to my weekend rides?"The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0 -
Colleagues bringing smelly cooked food back from the canteen and eating it at their desks
People who live to work. Rather than work to live.
Why eat at you desk at all? Get away for an hour and enjoy your lunch time. Which if you live in South Italy is 5 hours long in summer "la dolche vita""The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0 -

because the South of Italy is a lot nicer to look at than the concrete grey canyons of London full of traffic perhaps, I know there are nice green parks & places to go even in central london and eat lunch in the sunshine, but some days I just cant be bovvered.0 -

People who insist on showing you photos on their phone of things they have an interest in. I do not want to see 400 pictures of your daughter, one was enough!0

BBC sports coverage, especially that bloody nonsense on the Saturday morning Breakfast programme by bloody Mike Bushell
It went something like this...
One of the Williams transvestites is playing tennis somewhere in America.
They were playing golf somewhere else in the world.
Interview with Ron Manager, on who he might be buying and what team he might play.
Feature on some obscure sport, this week paddle tennis, ( "if we get another 20 people from the uk to take it up, that will double our numbers!" )
But not one mention of the TOB that would be in London the next day, perhaps they didn't notice?
I realise that the contracts are with other TV companies, but does that mean they can't even report it as news?
Same thing on Sunday evening. Not mentioned at all.

When I open paracetamol or ibuprofen or something I always (and I mean ALWAYS!) get the end that has the paper folded over the tablets, means i have to 'deal' with that before alleviating my pain! It's 50/50 yet it happens every time!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0

FFS, you're a man. If you've got a headache, simply bang your head against the wall until the pain goes away instead of resorting to girly painkillers. You'll save money like that as well.0

I'm sure that has been mentioned before on here and someone posted that the guidance paperwork is always at the end where the date code is stamped on the box which turned out to be correct I think.0
