minor things that make you fume

Doing a lot of driving again at the moment and listening to a lot of talk show phone in programmes. What infuriates me is when the host says, now let's hear what Steve in Braintree has to say on the topic, and first thing Steve says is."thanks for accepting my call" The probability is that Steve has been kept hanging on the line for the previous 45 minutes potentially on a premium rate and its him thanking them??
This. It seems to be mandatory now for people appearing on the radio to say Thanks for having me on.
It's taken over from How are you? The presenter got asked that almost every call and it drove me mental. Now this.
The station should be thanking them if anything for filling up their broadcast space.

Another one is folk who start their spiel with the word So. It's like they've got something thoughtful to say, which is usually not the case.

I usually have radio 2 on in the car but I hate the Jeremy vine lunchtime show, they have daily call-ins on numerous topics and the callers are always usually Tory voting upper middle class Karens complaining about how noisy their next door neighbour is when eating flame grilled real mcoys or something
 
Some little absolute turd on the train was scrolling through social media on the train, full blast volume for about 15mins, disturbing the silence of the carriage I stood up and give him and earful. He didn’t do anything and nobody applauded. I felt embarrassed but them he sat down and turned his phone on silent.

A vote for Bry is a vote for a new Britain.

Oh for the days of the headphone hiss from the Walkman cassette player

It's almost unbelievable that someone can behave like that in public. Yet that is the way, it seems.
Comport yourself as you wish, whether it be whizzing along the pavement on a horrid black bike, letting your dog loose to jump up at people strolling in the park, or making a racket on buses, trains and planes.

It annoys me that people who phone in Jeremy Vine for example and ask how he is and say hello to all the panel etc. - just get on with it !!
Agree about the 'so 'word too :rolleyes:

When we’re working it’s Radio 2 in the morning. The second he comes on it gets switched to BBC 6 Music. Can’t stand his voice.
 
This Forest player.

Why?

Made up they got stuffed. No one cares about your copy + paste tattoos, you tragic c***.

I’ve been compiling some data in my spare time and it turns out that there is a direct correlation between players with neck tattoos and whining, underperforming manosphere bloaters.

More research to follow…

A neck tattoo is a hallmark of a tw@.

It’s good they voluntarily identify themselves to the public I suppose.

Seen face and head tattoos becoming more of a thing. The ultimate quest for attention!
