Default You Know What Really Grinds My Gears...?

"New and Improved Flavour" items. It's rarely new, just a slight rehash of the old flavour, and it's never improved. Recent victims of this have been Pringles but right now I'm talking about NikNaks. Just had a bag of Rib'N'Saucy, which used to be the best crisp around for me, but now they taste average at best. The new packets look crap as well.

Stop changing what works, either make something completely different, or just leave things the same.


What also grinds my gears is people walking down the road in the ****ing rain with unnecessarily large novelty umbrellas. If I went out at lunch in the rain I don't wish to extend my stay out there, least of all by plodding along the pavement at snails pace because your umbrella is taking up the whole thing, staring and an oversized frog's arse. It's either that or I have to risk my eyes being poked out by his legs as I attempt to duck under the ****ing thing that you are holding ridiculously low.

Over to you Tom.

New and Improved = New and Cheaper to make.

More annoying than "new and improved" is the compulsary fat reduction, just cause some people have no self control doesn't mean I should have to eat crappy versions of walkers crisps and have oven chips

1. don't eat **** food and you won't have a problem.

2. say "excuse me", possibly modifying it with a "please" if the person is an attractive lady.

"Young mums with prams in a busy city centre". They walk in a completely straight line and at a fairly quick pace, which means if you dont move you get both a bloody sore shin and a bollocking from some cheeky beyatch ass mother for not getting out of the way.

and what really really eats my cake is when my boss goes on a three hour lunch to the pub / driving range 'because it's friday' and expects me to do work while he's gone.

Idiots in the shopping centre who just stand there looking gormless when Im pushing a pram along, who then get annoyed when I smash into their shins because they wont move.
