Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[YamFazFan]

When a complete stranger says something like 'Smile it might never happen!' to you in street. That's so rude. For all they know you may have just received some awful news. What business is it of theirs anyway.


These are usually the same sort of idiots that think it's amusing to break wind and belch in front of everyone and turn up to formal events in trainers and a trackie. Tossers.

Hey! Leave my mother out of this 🤣

There's an extremely irritating little man that's at the local car boot sale each week who says this. He drives a crappy old Reliant 3-wheel car with about 6 Jack Russell terriers running amok inside it.
Next time I'm going to tell him that I've just recieved some dreadfull news, see if that takes the wind out of his sails .
If that fails I'll just take the piss out of his clown car .

VED or road tax as we like to call it....why don't they just add a few pence to fuel then we wouldn't get an annual bill, it would catch all the dodgers and also get some income from all the foreign tourists!
And, those of us who only do a few miles a year would pay proportionally for the use of the roads.

Agreed - Richard Turpin - for chancellor of the exchequer will get my vote.

Another bloody tax in the offing, the Social Care Tax, payable by those over 40

When people use "ers" notably when talking about football and used like this. ---
 "The likes of your Manchester's Leicester's"
 "Yeah you've got your Keegan' s and lineker's"

 Gets my goat when they do that

[ogri48]

where I live (im a foreigner here, a fen weasel) everything to the foresters (the indigenous natives of the forest of dean) seems to be a bloke in disguise. They leave the H off of "Him" too to further compound the irritation...
ie
 " car needs servicing. 'ims running terrible.."
"you want to sell that motorbike and get a car. 'im looks dangerous to me.."
"Arm aches. 'Im needs to see the doctor"
"watch that hole by rocks. 'Im looks deep...."

When you move to a new area and people see you're a biker and for some reason think you know everything about bikes,"oh my lads got an old bike which hasn't run for years maybe you'd have a look at it"etc.It makes you feel like saying "drive a car do you? in that case mines running a bit rough,I'll bring it round for you to look at",pisses me off

Football fans who seem to think that they can hurl racist abuse at players and get away with it just because they're at a match. It's as unacceptable there as it is anywhere else.

[fazersharp]

Me too hashtag. Its cold outside song being banned as a date rape song
What about the advert for malteasers.Two female health workers talking on a break

 "Jamie the really fit one"
 "snogged him though"

"just a snog"

WTF imagine an advert featuring two men having the same reversed conversation.

Same as kicking the legs off someone on a football pitch!

Yes total hypocrisy of course. You see that sort of thing all the time though.
Apparently there's one of those all male 'dance'/semi strip type troupes touring here at the moment. There's been reviews of it in some of the press. Imagine the reaction if that situation was reversed .

This bloomin cold I've got. Cough, sneeze, blow, cough, sneeze, blow, cough......

I woke during the night with a horrible sore throat, which is getting progressively worse throughout today. 

[YamFazFan]

I've never had a cold as bad as this one before. Been dragging on without improvement all week. Of course it's one of those weeks when I've got loads of things on. Typical. Seems to be people everywhere with it at the moment.

Yeah, i'm in London but spoke to a colleague in Manchester earlier and she sounded much rougher than me but exactly the same symptoms, so it's certainly spreading well.

Drones. I've never liked them sneaky, spying things. Those poor people stuck at Gatwick. I'd ban the foccin things.

[steve 10562cc]

Why have they not shot that drone down on the first day. There would have been plenty of forensic evidence left on the wreck to convict the idiot with if they can catch them. There,s plenty of army snipers that would have dropped it with one shot and no danger to any persons.

Office Christmas meals...

some may call me bah humbug but ..
I don't normally go out drinking with my colleagues, I work with them 8 hours a day but that doesn't mean I want to socialise with them, spending £30 on a shite turkey dinner, then another £30-40 on drinks talking about work!

so when they all pissed off yesterday for the meal I went home got on my bike and went for a blast! 120 miles along A27-A26 to A22 lol felt great  & oh what a surprise I'm only one in work this morning feeling great whilst NOT 1 has turned to yet!

Good for you. Those mas-catering events are always crap food, overpriced.

My Mrs works at Gatwick and when she told me about the problem at 6am yesterday, I offered ny services with my shotgun but was turned down.
Shame, they coild have opened 24 hours earlier. There are enough people with shotguns in this area we could have spaced out around the perimiter and covered the whole thing

They should not even be elevated to Drone - they are quad copters.

I thought they could get one of those drone racer chaps to smash into it the way they fly them they could easily do it.
I dont think they wanted either lead or drone bits all over the runway.
I can't believe that no one has spotted where it is disappearing to each time or even where it comes from when it returns.
I think it is being operated from a remote position by a relay and when it flys off it lands and a ready to go charged up replacement takes its place, I dont think a person is there swapping battery's.   

[slappy]

Its not a drone, its a probe from Mars trying to find out where that lander came from thats stopping all the Martians from walking about on the surface.
