Things that really annoy you?

[rosm]

People who pronounce "Van Gogh" as "Van Go". If you were Dutch you would pronounce it "Van Hoch" with the "ch" sound being the same as "Loch" or "Bach"...

Actually the "G" sounds the same as the "ch".
"Hey, look at that van go" is annoying and funny, but then again my pronunciation of English, French, Swahili or Russian might not be perfect either.

I say Van Coch or Van Damme.

The English might say "Van Gock", the Scottish might say "Van Goch", but the sound would be the same. Then you hear some ditsy blonde American girl saying "my favorite artist is Vincent Van Go" and you want to kick some teeth in.

Had a frustrating day at work? Oh come now you sweet darling, give me a good warm hug......

I say Van Cock

Not quite correct, but it does provide an interesting explanation as to why Van Go cut his ear off.

People who turn on their fog lights in their cars at night even though there is no fog. It's not pleasant to have to drive behind morons like those.

Ram them with your vehicle, woman ; let 'em crash and burn.

Is it safe to say Manu offers best explanations and tips ? Well, not as good as mine, ofc, but hey

People who are asked a simple question but don't even try giving a good answer.

"baby daddy"

WHY we have to differentiate between 'lover' and 'the father of my baby' is just ... rrrggghhhh
if you need to use that phrase so often, perhaps you should look into some form of birth control.

Poor innocent fool you are, never heard of infidelity.

Digging the racist undertones there. Let me guess, another bitter teabagger crazy washed up hippy lady reporting for duty?

Baseball. I watched a reply of a batter hitting a ball in slow motion the other day...and his giant belly jiggled like...I don't know. How athletic is that? Yuk.

a.k.a. boredom with bats

[my breakfast.]

1) Paying stupid money for a baked potato. Some places charge ~£3.50 for a manky, leathery potato that has been sitting under a hot lightbulb for hours. Oh, you want a small tub of generic tuna mayo? That's another £1.50. When did such basic food demand such a ridiculous price?

2) UKIP voters. Sorry but the stats don't lie. Immigrants contribute a lot, per head, to the economy. They cannot be both stealing all our jobs AND claiming unemployment benefits at the same time. That is a paradox. I would rather have Muslims for neighbours than UKIP supporters, any day of the week. There is a lesson somewhere in history about pinning all your blames on a minority group, as detailed and outlined by a far-right party, in a time of economic hardship... Godwin's law up yo' ass! Fuck UKIP and fuck Farage.

3) My buddy's predicament. He is technically employed, but they've given him zero hours so he is not earning but also not eligible for any sort of grant or benefit. Doesn't matter, because next year all the Romanians will come here and steal all our benefits anyway, eh Nigel?

4) The fact that Rory Gallagher is totally overlooked whilst that pissed out cokehead Stevie Ray Vaughn is held in the highest esteem. Gallagher was blues to a tee, and the humility comes off him in waves. SRV had a horrible guitar tone, wrote boring music and sounded like he was playing along to a midi backing track. If he hadn't flown into a hillside he would have fizzled into obscurity.

5) Warren Haynes. Been there before I know, but anybody who tries to crystalise 'classic boogie rock jam music' into an artform, whilst always relying on the same guitar tone and tricks, is a pain in the ass.

6) Men's Rights Activists. I know one such guy. Fuck him. He is henpecked by his mother (who he lives with by the way). I don't think being an MRA means anything other than being a whiny white guy who gets pissy when stuff isn't handed to them on a plate. Honestly, if one group of people does NOT need representing it is straight, white males. We own the fucking show! They dare to give minorities some rights that make them almost or nearly equal to straight white guys and the MRAs start moaning "when do we get more rights so we can maintain our position at the top of the tree"??? Bullshit.

The "friends" I play cricket with. They have fielding restrictions for batting, tailor made to suit their right-handed selves. When I protest and say it's nearly impossible for me to bat, they say I ought to play right handed. Fuck all of them. Bastards.

Snobs. The kind of people I dislike as well.
