Roads in general. After yesterday's drive to Stoke and back to Wales I'd be amazed if the suspension hasn't had 5 years taken off its life. Powys, Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire must employ the same person to go around spraying the damaged surface with white paint and then do bugger all. It'll take some poor sod on a motorbike to come off and die before anything happens, meanwhile....

Going shopping for a pair of jeans and 80% of them being skinny fit. I’m a 41 year old bloke not a 14 year old ballerina, believe it or not Marks & Sparks do a good line in mens jeans . They are stretch denim as well and only around £25 a pair.

That’s exactly where I’ve ended up being “forced to buy them from😏 But when you have something a little heavy in your pocket like mobile or wallet it looks like you’re carrying saddle bags with that stretchy material🤦🏻♂️

I’m a 41 year old bloke not a 14 year old ballerina, believe it or not Those are the loose fits you're trying on...(winky thing) Internet service providers are the pits. They're all awful. Overpriced, equally shit customer service, usually outsourced to India so that adds another layer of potential language/accent misunderstanding. I've switched at various times between Talktalk, BT, Virgin and Sky so have experienced most of the big ones. It's as if they've decided between them that it suits them all to be equally shit. That way they can cream off the profits, keep costs to a minimum and what alternative for a better service does the consumer have? Fuck all. Grrrr.

The god awful nhs, had a trip to a & e recently, didn’t get past reception , before I was despatched to heywood, who intern offered little before they pushed me back to my doctors who referred me back to heywood…. 3 weeks after I initially presented at a&e I still have no diagnosis… pushed from pillar to post. I’m told it will be 18 weeks before I m offered an appointment at heywood. Cards on the table, the government have blood on there hands over the current state, but my god some of the staff don’t help themselves, badly ran top to bottom . Half of those I have met have a serious god complex which probably comes from all those covid tik tok videos.

I went to Middlewich Hospital a few months ago and if you ever need a film set for a Victorian Hospital this is the place, it’s ancient, staff mind were lovely.
North Staffs and the Haywood A&E departments always seem to have horrible chavs hanging around outside and it’s annoying when ppl ask what you in for as if you you've carried out some form of criminal offence.
Recall a woman taking her son because he fell in the canal and swallowed some water, I’d say dozy sod, bye, next please

The School Run parents and grandparents, who have to ferry the little darlings about.
They park on double yellow lines, pavements and generally cause congestion for other road users.
Make the little bastards walk to school or use public transport. I hate your fucking guts every single one of you selfish wankers!

Absolutely. Go for a drink in Alderley Edge and the place is full of folk wanting you to believe they have a horse when all they have is a toy dog and a fish. Thankfully am quite up on the pretence of horse ownership in the area and am not taken in by it

Ignorant cunts using disabled parking spaces with no blue badge.
They should be fined £500 plus 4pts on their licence.

There's a school about a mile from us where there are pedestrian lights right by the exit from the school. It's bad enough trying to avoid all the parked cars in both directions dropping off the little brats, but to make things worse you see some mothers stopping to have a chat and letting their precious little darlings keep pressing the button on the pedestrian lights, so they're almost constantly on red.

I call it a woman bubble, like everything around them is an irrelevance.

Same at supermarket checkouts, if you have to fuck about looking for your card or money to pay why not do it in the ten minutes you've just spent in the queue instead of gawping at your phone?!?

Why does every company/bank I ring answer my call with "We are experiencing high call volumes at the moment and as our staff are still currently working from home, your call may take longer than usual to be answered" ? This usually results in a wait of over half an hour to actually speak to someone.
Similarly, trying to see our G.P. When our 30th (ish) phone call to the surgery is finally answered (the number is usually always engaged) the "medical navigator" (receptionist in real money) does their utmost to deter me from actually getting to see a Doc. Even when they tentatively agree a consultation may be necessary, they get the G.P. or "clinical assessor" to phone to discuss the problem, and only then might they agree to a face to face consultation.
