What grinds my gears...

[Fox in the North]

Let the son (6) pick where to eat after the trampoline park as a final summer holiday treat. He picked Pizza Hut (would have preferred Nando’s or Five Guys) but as I know he can put pizza away like a machine I relent. So he’s had less than half a slice of pepperoni pizza and annihilated the salad bar instead 

 

Like it’s great that he’s had a lot of salad but we could have got that anywhere else and I’d have been happier with my food

Teams that take 5-a-side that bit too seriously, we're in a shite league there's no need to be screaming for every tackle as a foul.

Take the positive that your kid chose the healthy option!

I have no problem with that, but a lunch of cucumber, sweetcorn and his body weight in raisins wasn’t exactly going to keep him full till tea!

Isn't the tactic to just eat a bowl of those crunchy onion things?

Equally the ones that are flying into tackles, blatantly kicking you and not looking at the ball, shoving people running at full speed into the side boards etc. We've all got work tomorrow lads, chill. We want to compete but not end up off work for a couple of months with a broken bone.

I played in a league at Riverside and one side had a manager, giving them warm up routines before each game.

My daughters play netball for a league team and every year they hold a tournament in the name of an ex player who died a few years ago. Its a mixed tournament and each team needs to have a minimum of 3 men on the court at a time. For the last 3 years one team hires out their own court in the weeks leading up to the tournament for them to practice on. They only finished runners up last time and the look on their faces was priceless

Event resale platforms like ticketmaster, Viagogo, getmein etc....

I think you've identified the problem right there.  Either organise like a man or use the search like the kids!

1. Didn't realise I could alphabetise them.

2. I don't have one single MyApp.

Cost of school uniform. 
 

Comfortably over four hundred quid for some cheap, nasty nylon and polyester. 
 

And the cartel system that means you can only buy from the school nominated supplier…who can obviously charge whatever the fvck they want.

Little fecker did zero revision...I honestly thought my money was safe 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I wore a school uniform for work the other day, can vouch for how expensive it is

[Daggers]

Quite honestly, anyone paying four hundred quid for some cheap, nasty nylon and polyester uniform just to dress up their wife has more money than sense.

 

I got mine a fancy dress Noel Edmonds outfit off Ebay for £25 and it's just as stimulating.

People who vape in confined public spaces.

 

I have no interest in smelling whatever you choose to put in your lungs.

I was behind a car a while back that had such a cloud of vape fumes coming from it, I could smell it in my car.

It's the cannabis smokers in cars that really get me wound up!

You're going to have a fit when you find out how you can smell farts.
