Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

I just had someone read a MasterCard number in blocks of 3 then a single digit at the end. It's printed in blocks of 4, why the hell would you do that? Sounded so awkward as he did it. Very strange.
Probably a Northerner (ducks for cover), I've heard they only have three fingers and webbed feet.
There is a certain irony of someone from Suffolk suggesting others may be inbread in some way. Best leave you to your witch burnings

Yeah you're right. Must be an inbred then0 -
People listening to half of a conversation then jumping in to try and tell me how to do my job. But I do enjoy answering in great detail to highlight why their idea won't work and that I know exactly what I'm doing. The fact that it makes the one butting in look daft almost makes it all worthwhile.0

Well that livened things up a bit. True I am in Suffolk (near Bury St Edmunds), but a born Londoner (sarf east). I always thought it was "Norfolk born, Norfolk bred, Strong in the arm, Fick in the ead". Us Suffolk lads just like winding them northerners up a bit. No malice, at least we can separate our fingers when we point at aeroplanes.Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

The locals round 'ere don't have webbed feet, however their knuckles do drag on the ground. I thought that those with webbed feet were in Narfuk or the Weees Cuntry. So I think you're wrong.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Every single car park designer in the UK. They annoy me. "Put the lines really close together mate, then we can maximise the number of spaces". Fine if you drive a bubble car with front door opening and weigh 45kg's and stand 4 foot tall.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

I have a bucket full of James Greave from one of my apple trees I can send you. Far superior to Braeburn and totally organic.
I'll swap it for a Selle Italia Max Gel Flo saddle.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Social media memes that are intended to make a, normally political, point or more specifically the way people will blindly share them as if the photo and caption are on the Internet and therefore fact rather than someone's work of fiction to support their own point of view.0

A new one I've acquired on a recent trip to America is their toilets and the way the water fills up high after a flush. It prevents that satisfying splash when you drop the kids off at the pool!0

The number of adverts on Dave and Yesterday, especially as they're only repeating old BBC programmes.0

The MOBO Awards.
I don't understand why they are necessary and why there isn't a specific alternative.

When you get to a junction or want to cross the road as a pedestrian and suddenly all the cars appear when moments earlier the road was clear.0

People doing a supermarket shop in slippers and a onesie. Have they no shame?0

mmm, I see the MOBO stuff as a Blair-era legacy, when being white and straight was seen as something to be shameful. Let's face it, all music is ultimately of black origin (probably, although followers of the original sin theory may dispute this). I am always left wondering just how black black-origin music has to be before it is counted as black, perhaps there is some Dulux colour chart developed for the event

They were established in 1996 and it was more about genre than skin colour - quite a few winning artists were white. I think they sort of undermined their credibility in the first awards ceremony by giving Mick Hucknall the prize for Outstanding Achievement. If it had just been a trap and they'd captured him, I would be more understanding, but he actually went there, was given an award and then allowed back out again completely unharmed. Bizarre.Let's face it, all music is ultimately of black origin (probably, although followers of the original sin theory may dispute this).

I'll dispute this. The origins of modern music (I assume you are talking blues, jazz, rock'n'roll here) were a bit of a melting pot of influences - the black influence is obvious and I won't go further into it here, but look at the melodic structures (derived from classical, folk and country music), the instruments they were playing, the technology used, etc. and then you can clearly see the white influence on the music as well. Also, electronic music, which would provide the basis for much modern dance, r'n'b, rap, etc. was pioneered by European, Japanese and Egyptian artists.
Music is basically a back and forth of ideas, and modern music owes a lot to people of all different races. That's why I personally am not in favour of the idea of music awards being labelled MOBO - it creates these artificial divisions and paints a completely misleading picture. Then again, it's a free world and they can do what they want.0
