You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.

Do you mean Miley Cyrus? or Rihanna? or Beyonce?

Arrogant, rude people, taxi drivers, bus drivers, people who cut me up, people who spit, animal cruelty, Lorraine Kelly, Monday mornings, getting out of bed, tradesmen who don't turn up, my ex Mother in Law.

What grinds my gears?
The list is very long and gets longer by the day.
The misuse of there, their and they're is a bugbear of mine. The word "of" has 2 letters, it's pretty difficult to get it wrong imo but idiots on FB insist on spelling it "ov".
I hate littering, people putting their feet on seats on public transport, poncey food, unruly children, ugg boots (pick your bloody feet up and walk properly you lazy scumbag) TV "talent" competitions, the sob stories connected with them, Joe bloody McCeldry (just stop simpering). Superstar DJs (wtf is that all about?) poor driving standards, people who spit constantly, people riding their bikes on the pavement, god botherers, religionists in general, misquotations by idiots who are trying to be clever, prejudice, the tories.
I could go on and on and on. I probably will.

Trying to program the washing machine.....

They don't need programming, they are usually fully automatic. I just point mine in the direction of the wash basket and away she goes. Regular servicing keeps them ticking over nicely.

Manufactured boy/girl "bands" Bands have musicians who play instruments!
Last of the summer wine, celebrity chefs, Gregg bloody Wallace, mice and rats, Big bloody Brother, Celebrity TV shows, reality tv, Katie bloody Hopkins, Phillip bloody Schofield, drink drivers, you, me, Jeremy bloody Kyle.
Actually there are no TV "personalities" who do not have the middle name "bloody". The only exceptions to this rule are Noel ******* Edmonds and Cilla ****ing Black

Would you believe we have an entertainer over here who goes by Kevin ''Bloody'' Wilson [emoji14]

Currently it's lots of things- and the older I get the longer the list becomes
At the moment it's a ---- up between Scottish Power Customer service (a truly aspirational term) and the BBC.

As a confirmed raving Cybernat (Scottish Independence supporter) I feel the BBC is lacking in so many ways, from the Nick Robinson question (where the whole interaction was cut from 7 mins to less than 1 by the BBC) and then Nick accuses him of not answering the question
I now watch Russia Today and Aljaseera to get better news coverage
Maybe I should start another topic on this

What grinds my gears...........
Not a lot - I'm a fairly tolerant old bar steward.
But a few things............in no particular order.

Stupid old pharts at the supermarket check out. They must know the have to pay so get ready rather than digging around in a cavernous handbag to find the cards and all the money off coupons before you get there........instead of holding up the whole freakin queue.

Written English. We all had to go to school until at least age sixteen. Spelling in the forums I frequent can be atrocious. I don't normally comment on it unless it evokes a bit of humour.

And incorrectly expressed units.
Not Kw, kW.

Apart from that............

Every day, every person I meet in fact everything!

That’s just saved me writing a list a mile long.

Well, I would go along with ~ 4/5 of the list so far ... I must be getting to my GOG stage early in life!
