    Advertising online or tv, hate it and mute tv/phone until it’s over

    there’s also a lot of guilt advertising, kids/animals injured or in pain, ALTHOUGH there’s one ad for centrepoint, homeless charity with an ending scene of a woman sat on the street, but the miserable look on her face just makes me laugh every time, (I’ve worked with the homeless so am aware of their suffering but the pretend painful look on her coupon STILL makes me laugh, loudly, every time)

    Yeah if someone is trying to emotionally manipulate you through ads in your own home it's even more of a reason to never donate or buy anything. It's why I stopped watching regular television a long time ago and use aggressive ad blocking on any device that supports it.

    Pedestrians can get away with smashing a cyclist but car drivers can’t.

    People from Glasgow and the surrounding areas that refer to everyone as ‘the boy’.

    So patronising and ignorant.

    Heard an old manky Hun call Nicolas Otamendi it tonight.

    ‘The boy’ that’s won the World Cup and the Premier League multiple times, and you’re an old stinker from Cambuslang.

    I cannot explain how much I * despise paying for Amazon Prime, and them wanting extra to not have adverts. Many reasons to hate the *, but that ones personally annoying

    I still occasionally get called wee man or youngster off older guys I work with and I’m in my early 30’s,don’t really see any harm unless it’s said in a certain way,sometimes it’s just a habit of theirs.There’s a guy we work with who is solely referred to as ‘the wee man’ and he’s universally liked.

    Kylian Mbappe,Kieran Tierney etc although in their mid-20’s and bonafide,proven players,are still seen as pups to a lot of people who are in their 40’s,50’s,60’s and they’re not being disrespectful when they use certain words to describe them,like boy,lad etc.

    When the good lady opens a new tub of Bertolli (other buttery spreads are available..) and leaves the tinfoil cover attached at one end. It's now serving no useful purpose. Once it's been peeled back, its job is done. In fact, it's now a hindrance, flapping in the air. But can you convince her of all this? No, sir. Thank * the weather's warming up so's I can put proper butter on my piece.

    When the good lady opens a new bag of McCain's (other oven chips are available but, frankly, why would you?) by cutting along the entire length of the bag. All that's needed is a corner snipped off so's you can pour the chips out nice and steady and prevent them littering the freezer drawer. But can you convince her of all this? No, sir.

    * tiktok. What is up with grown adults watching the same videos on loop at full volume. Like does it really take your brain 50 watches of a 10 second clip to understand what you are trying to watch.

    Short form content is one of the worst things ever on video sharing platforms.

    You know not to rise to it,might feel really good at the time and they might deserve it,but mind the bigger picture.It’s like that bit in ‘A Bronx Tale’ when it comes to owing money -‘$20 to get rid of him’ - there’s a lesson there.
