Has that ever happened to you?
The only TV I watch with any regularity is sports. For that alone, I couldn't do without cable.
and,,,,,,,slobs who blow their snoots whilst others are having breakfast in a restaurant.

D*nks who part way into a discussion suddenly announce they are not arguing anymore and the discussion is at an end! Pompous little bastards!
oh,,,and ditto heads.
You pull into the convenience store parking lot a five in the morning, an empty parking lot mind you. You go in and get your coffee and come out to you car and there is someone parked right next to your car. That irritates the s*** out of me.
Methinks you had best be prepared for some bigger irritations!
Convenience stores don't normally have big parking lots, probably besides the owner and the employees there's only a few spaces left for customers. Since most people likely park in the closest available spot to the door, perhaps you could thwart the bastards by picking the spot farthest from the door.
The more things that are out of your control the better, just frees up a whole bunch of time you used to worry about sh*t you couldn't do anything about. If there's two or three things you can control you have enough "on your plate".
The annoying modern phenomenon (of which there are lots), which only seems to have been happening for the last 18 months or so, of people starting every sentence with the word "so" whenever they answer a question. Nearly everytime I hear somebody being interviewed on the news or on documentaries or other TV programmes these days the interviewee somehow feels compelled to start every answer they give with the word "so", followed by a little pause, and then the rest of the sentence. Th
A could example of this occurred on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Drive programme, when Peter Allen interviewed Steve Robertson of BT OpenReach about the expansion of superfast broadband.
Allen: ‘What will actually happen?’
Robertson: ‘So, what will happen is that we’re either going to be taking fibre to their home or to their business…’
Allen: ‘And how expensive is all this?’
Robertson: ‘So, we’ve already committed two and a half billion pounds…’
Now every bloody day I'm hearing numpties start the answer to every question witht he word "so" followed by that slight pause and it bloody annoys me.
One reason it's annoying is that using "so" to start a sentence adds an arrogant discontinuity to the conversation. It creates the perception that the questioner was interrupting the respondent when they really weren't. It's just another sign of the degrading of Western society since the Lefties took over the running of out societies back in the Sixties.
For some reason, though, in Britain it seems to be mercifully confined to people with southern accents, particularly if they are from London or the Home Counties.

So, what is a "could example"?
Anyway, small f**King potatoes, SO as if I want to dictate what words people use. A person of normal intellect gets the general drift of the transmission!
That's precisely what I do. I park in the spot furthest from the entrance. Because my car isn't jacked up to the moon it's hard to see on coming cars when bigfoot has decided he wants to park next to me. Happens 90 % of the time. Maybe I can park across the street and walk to the entrance.Methinks you had best be prepared for some bigger irritations!
One hint that can be very helpful is when you park your car park it so the first move when leaving again is forward, get all your backing up done at a time and place where you can see what is happening.
