Things That Annoy Me Part 6
I realised today with shock that I haven't been annoyed for over a month, so I thought I had better be, if only to keep up my grumpy old reputation. Here goes...
12) Xmas shopping online. Well it's great cos you manage to hide from all those obsessive crazy shoppers who crush you to death, but it's also a bit crap when you wait ages for, like, 8 parcels, and they all arrive at random places. IE you have to drive to industrial estates in the middle of nowhere to pick them up, or the delivery guy just dumps them with a random neighbour. Stress!
13) Outdoor xmas lights. Especially the ones that people put on their houses and flashflashflash: why?! The worst ones are the ones with a fake Santa/sleigh on the roof. God. Bizarrely, last weekend I saw a house with big lights like that, and a collection box nailed to the garden gate. Next to the box, there was a sign: "Please leave a donation for old people in residential homes who may not be lucky enough to see these lights." Bloody cheek! I'd pay for them NOT to see that eyesore..!
14) Xmas. See above!
