Pet Peeves

[Necro Red]

Everyone calling things "awesome" all the time. Why? We're not young surfers from USA. Maybe I'm old and not up with the trends 

[The Heretic]

That's "sick" (as in that's a sick tune etc) is the one the fucks me off always

[Mooncat]

The lack of priciple in people. For example, FIFA, an example of how low humanity can sink when it comes to chasing cash, are offering lotteries to purchase tickets for the next world cup and lads are queuing up like early 90's Steven Adler ready to suck any cock for a ticket. How hard is it to say "Fuck these cunts" and boycott this shit. Sucking their cocks and handing over the money just encourages them to keep going at it.

I think people are craving real life experiences more than ever given how fractured the monoculture is, plus how much of life is online now. It's why so many people are prepared to pay utterly ludicrous prices for concert tickets too. Which is really sad.

Also, you can't rule out how strong the pull of, "I was there" on social media is for the young 'uns. Which is really sad.

Craving real life experiences while posting videos of themselves having a so- called real life experiences... A couple of times recently I've passed people on the street doing several takes off themselves causally walking up the footpath while their mate films them. Who influences the influencers, that's the question.

I was on a glacier a few years back and there was one girl there who was wearing about 10 layers and would do about 7 or 8 different poses for pics, take a layer off so she looked different, do the same 7 or 8 poses, another layer off, same again etc. Took a good 15mins to get through all the different 'outfits' and poses, then she looks through the 100 or so pics her friend took, then fucks off. I'm not sure there was a single point she turned round to actually view the glacier with her own eyes.

Add 'smashing it' to that.

That's actually saddening.

Cunts who sit in the outside seat on public transport leaving the inside seat empty, to discourage anyone from sitting beside them. Total cuntery.

The fuckin worst.  During the commutes always so early in the morning for it too that everyone is too bleak to argue.  I used to do an equal cunt move though and loudly ask them if the seat was taken and go to sit in the inside so they had to get up out of the chair.  Nobody says no lol

Usually either a Karen with or a GAA bro with a gigantic local team bag.
CUNNNNNNNTTTSSS

[The Heretic]

Sometimes I have to sit on the outside seat when my back is bad so I can stretch my leg  but if I see someone coming on board and seats are scarce I put my bag under my legs to make the seat available, however if there are plenty of other seats available they can fuck off

I ordered a chainsaw from Screwfix last week, a not cheap electric one which didn't come with batteries, so I had to order not cheap batteries too. No bother. It should have been delivered on Friday but I received an email from DPD on Friday morning telling me "Your parcel has been delayed due to an unexpected issue."

It was delivered by DPD this afternoon in a big cardboard box which opened unusually easily. Inside, there was a box with the chainsaw in it but surprise, surprise, there was a big empty space where I imagine the two batteries were.

They can't despatch two new batteries to me because they will have to do a weight check on the box which left the warehouse. They tell me I can't just go to either of the Screwfixes in Kilkenny or Clonmel and pick replacements up in person either because I selected delivery in the first place so their only option is to deliver again, even though the original batteries mysteriously vanished during delivery. I'm stuck with a useless fucking chainsaw until their warehouse trawls through the records and then they send new batteries out for delivery again.

Bah humbug to thieving cunts.

I had something delivered a few months ago from screwfix which was missing parts so I rang them and got the got the same spiel that I couldn't go to the local screwfix and get a replacement as it would have to be delivered again to match the original dispatch method, but to get the ball rolling I would have to take the original item with the missing parts to the local screwfix to get the ball rolling and to save time, so I took the item into the local screwfix and they gave me a replacement there and then no questions asked as they had a record of the phone call I made reporting the issue.

Nothing has showed up in my account to say they registered the complaint yet.

For as long as I can remember people have generally kept left... pavements, shopping aisles, corridors, stairs, cycle lanes etc. Now it's just a fucking free for all. Walking round town these days, especially now when it's busy, is murder 🤬
