Pet Peeves

I have a bag of that Balkan coffee in my press, pal brought it over from Belgrade. It'd certainly a tonic if you're in zombie mode in the morning.

Bit of a pain in the arse to prepare and it leaves a big pile of gunk in the arse of the cup, but if I'm arsed I'll throw a pot on now and again.

I think the hassle's really worth it. I chew a bit of gunk from bottom of the cup from time to time.

Nothing wrong with chewing a bit of bottom gunk

Women driving to work and doing their makeup... unreal

150 bar for Rammstein tickets next summer here. In a football stadium! 🤮🤮

I'm taking that out of context entirely

The spread of vacuous aspirational HR jibba jabba which encourages someone gormless to "achieve the impossible" or some such nonsense. If one can achieve it, it wasn't impossible to start off with.

Related to that, the fetish for needing to be seen to have overcome something. Everybody goes through challenges, but needing to make yourself out to be a hero is a plague in modern culture.

Finally, that tacky shite people are cramming their houses with, signs like "home" and "love", or the embarrassing slogans becoming common to have painted on kitchen walls for some reason, loosely connected to the first point. Enough of this shit, please.

I would make exception only if someone was bold enough to stencil "SHITTER" on their bathroom wall.

   Can't argue with that

Forgetting your phone/ear buds and only discovering it when you get to the gym. Christ, my cardio was (more) difficult today.

40 minutes on the cross-trainer is hard enough without having to listen to the UTTER SHIT that the gym plays. Not only that but the tunes are interspersed with ads for the fucking gym.

I'm in the gym. Why are they advertising about becoming a member to me when I'm already in the fucking gaff?!

My local's closing down on Sunday, which is a shame as it's a grand spot and the landlord - despite not being suited for bar work at all - is a decent chap. The old 'costs rising, takings falling' scenario.

There's no decent alternative left in the town now, bar one old school boozer that still wouldn't be one for every night out. Upside is I might spend less on booze in future.

Same shit with the ads in my place. Bizarre carry on. Thankfully I live 30 seconds away so have never had to face it without earphones.

Could be for people who are on free trials (if that is a thing here). Delighted I have everything I need in the garage at home here weights, bench, bike, threadmill, rowing machine, punching bag and leg extension machine. So time consuming having to travel to a gym on top of working a full time job. One thing I do miss though is the swimming pool.
