Annoying Times

Hi guys,

As I'm bored and still stuck at home (as most of you soon will be, if not already) and fast approaching 40, it's only fair to join you old gits in a bit of a moan about modern culture, people and phrases. So here's my list so far:

Americanisms: "Hack" - Why is everything a hack?? Mainly denotes a common sense approach.

"Enough already" - Poor English, see above.

Phone calls - I mostly only speak to my Nan and Mum on the phone these days as no one wants to talk (probably just to me). You have to pre book calls with mates to check 'it's a good time'. Although my Nan thinks as I have a mobile I should be available 24/7 when she calls, no matter what the circumstances! She'll then ring my work mobile/other people if she can't get hold of me!!

Cashiers at the Supermarket - Don't bother asking if I'm OK, you don't really care (I know they are forced to).

The BBC - I detest them. Ruined Dr Who, which I loved as a kid. Full of PC lefty nonsense with unnecessary recasting/writing to "reflect modern times" on nearly every show. Also they only seem to have 20 actors that appear in everything with a fairly limited range (see Dr Who).

Facebook - This could have its own rant page. You all know why.

Adrian Durham - The definition of a massive c#nt. Massive bellend who shouts down callers on Talksport if they dare to disagree with his often narrow minded, shallow views.

YouTube Influencers - Why, just why!?? General morons with no real life experience giving out half baked advice (mainly from their sponsors) and telling us lies about their great (fake) life.

Adverts - No clever writing anymore, just plain annoying. That prick telling everyone to "bring it" is the most annoying one for me at the moment. Adturds is a great site for anyone with my disposition towards them.

Please feel free to add yours.

 

F#ck off I have no anger management problems

 

I'm adding 8k phones and TVs to the list! Pointless given the current infrastructure.

Plus no one wants to see every little wrinkle on those Plenty of Fish pictures I send to the ladies (not ladyboys, that was an honest accident and you can't do a meat and two veg check online).

 

Can I add Woke to this. From reading online this was about being aware of political injustice (from racism within the police) now dumbed down to include veganism (as seen in the bullshit Burger King advert).

The irony being these smug vegans are (in some cases) doing more damage to the planet because of intensive farming whilst depriving people in the poorer countries of their own produce.

 

You have nicely summed up the BBC output over here!

Terminator was sadly dying before the last one but the agenda change definitely influenced that. A John Connor story wasn't PC enough for sure.

 

With you on the telephone answering services. They don't work most of the time and you end up going through all the security rigmorale again.

On security questions I can never remember half of it. They need to get more creative with the questions. Some suggestions I'd make would be:

"Who gave you your first hand job "or "Who are you thinking of when making love to your wife"? Much easier to remember.
