Getting to the bar when not that busy, some bloke comes to stand next to you and accepts being served first - not saying "he's first". 

Absolutely, the most un-British of behaviour

I sadly did this last week. It wasn't busy, but I just didn't see him. He seemed very hurt by it. I was mortified. 

I join the foreign legion next week.

Young people on quiz shows who say "that was before my time" when not knowing the answer to a question. 

Most of f***ing history is before all of our times you f***ing imbeciles. You're just thick twats embarrassing yourselves on national TV. 

Twats.

This should be in the "Offences to bring back hanging for" thread, not the "Small things that annoy me" thread.

Ignorant twats.

Legionnaires: Why did you have to join the Legion?

H&W: I await the end of a terrible persecution! I await The Fall Of Trousers!

Legionnaires: You'll be wanting the Follow That Camel set. This is Beau Geste.

H&W: Beau Jest?

Legionnaires: Just 10 minutes over there...

Another excerpt from the Andrew Lownie book ‘Entitled’

One of Ghislaine Maxwell’s friends, Cynthia Matthews, ‘told her about a luxury vehicle deal she had going with Prince Andrew in Thailand. She said Andrew loved Thailand and spent a lot time there’.

Heard a young American woman referring to the risk of going outside and being ’unalived’. What’s wrong with killed? While I’m at it why and when did died/dead become passed. Makes them sound like some kind of midfielder.

LISTER:
Look, Rimmer, death isn't the handicap it used to be in the olden days. It doesn't screw your career up like it used to.

RIMMER:
That's what they say, Lister. But if you had two people coming for a job, and one of them was dead, which one would you pick?

LISTER:
It depends which is better qualified.

World book day. Not so much the general idea of it to increase enthusiasm for reading but the fact that it's basically now just a "dress up as whatever you want day" because some kids are a bit too thick to have ever read a book.

There were a good proportion of boys at my daughter's school in football kits this morning, and various others on pajamas for some reason.

I suppose you literary types don’t class Wayne Rooney’s autobiography as a ‘real book’.

Nah. The covers are too far apart.

The ever increasing trend of customers and/or prospects not responding or acknowledging emails you send to them, until you've sent 5 reminders... Whatever happened to common courtesy FFS?

Twats.
