New - The things that really annoy you

[Wolftone]

Resetting the Casio G-Shock watch.
Great, tough watch, absolute nightmare trying to reset the time.
Maybe its me?
Finally after about half an hour ive sorted it

When you get your grocery shopping delivered and you order booze as it’s dirt cheap on sale and they send it with the security thing still stuck to the top of the bottle. Sorry Hel, it’s tea for you tonight…

Metal snips. 10 seconds.

Metal snips. 10 seconds.

Metal snips aren’t getting through this. Ever.

Ah it's one of them! Slightly more troublesome but not too bad.
Jig saw. 2 cuts then put the surviving bit in a vice and crush the fucking thing off.

Those ones release with a magnet.

Those ones release with a magnet.

Tried three different magnets, it didn’t even magnetise to them. They were strong ones as well. Just got a hacksaw blade and a lighter in the end, melted the plastic and cut through it. Took about ten minutes. I don’t know why supermarkets don’t take them off when you get shopping delivered, whisky and the like that’s in a box I understand (and you can still open them) but bottles that have them in plain view, what the fuck?

Coming out of Tesco's, I had a BIG trolley full, "I have two bottles somewhere with Security collars on but I can only see 1!"
She took that off then said, "push your trolley through the gate..."
So I did, nothing happened! She said, "There you go, musn't be working!"
Found it when I got home and snipped it off.

Driving out of our village in the rain last night, pitch black and at the last minute there was a fucking 12 year old kid on an electric scooter, dressed in black, no lights on the scooter at all. Left hand bend hugging the inside of the corner, nearly killed him!
I wound the window down and suggested he bought a red light for the back of that thing, If your miserable life isn't worth €6.50 then you deserve to get flattened by the next vehicle that doesn't see you (You little prick)."

That's the most uncomfortable looking fleshlight I've ever seen.

I've seen them here on them, with no lights on, on the wrong side of the road

There's a video clip on tikTok of 3 of the fuckers on the Motorway! Weaving from one lane to the other.

there's a lot of potential benefit to e-scooters, but I am unsure that is being realised currently.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s because of chavs on them being an utter road menace

It's down to infrastructure. Again.

 

[Keef]

When I worked at Halfords, the people buying e scooters were exactly the people you’d imagine, I hated dealing with them, just rude horrible individuals

it's mental. we have all sorts of rules in this country, and no facility to implement them or police them properly.

 

[Langers]

Halloween. And bonfire night.

Hate them both - because I'm not 10.

I'm grumpier than usual at this time of year - always makes me miss the summer and the longer nights. No desire to stand in a cold dark field to watch explosives this coming weekend whatsoever. Absolute waste of time. #curmudgeon

 

[lemonjelly]

Not having bonfire night. For a start it is my wedding anniversary.

Looking forward to going to a display on saturday with the wife.

Also really enjoying a book on the gunpowder plot at the moment. It is fascinating history!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I despise bonfire night. A terrified dog for about a fortnight either side of it as cunts set fireworks off. Obviously not a problem here this year.

 

[Kenny]

We have a lot of places around here that are doing silent firework displays this year.
A nice step forward on that side of things.
