The 'Things That Piss Me Off' Thread

That's wild. Is that company or government policy?

My girlfriend's work doesn't have its own policy so it was the government's of:

Statutory Maternity Pay ( SMP ) is paid for up to 39 weeks. You get: 90% of your average weekly earnings (before tax) for the first 6 weeks. £184.03 or 90% of your average weekly earnings (whichever is lower) for the next 33 weeks. She was granted a full year but after the 39 weeks her pay stopped completely.

I had two weeks of leave at full pay.

The cost of childcare here is outrageous. So expensive AND places are limited. The two probably go hand in hand to be fair.

It's been a law/right since the 70s I think, implemented by the government.
It's really a good thing, but the right wing mong's are always trying to get women to stay at home instead of the men, you know the old "family value" bs.

There's a cap on how much you have to pay for child care as well, based on income, saw that its around 140 Euros max a month

You are very lucky up to the North. Down here to the south, it's been since late May, that the temperature is always over 37°C Usually it's around 39°C , and over 41°C the hot days.

Imagine that when i get in my car during the day, the thermometer shows 44°C ~45°C in sunny place.

On top of that I moved house last month, and my new place has indoors 35 at day, and 33°C at nights. I am working the A/C almost all day long. Don't even know how much I will pay for electricity bill.

On the bright side, last week we had two hours of raining, and the temperature reduced by ten degrees, went to 33°C!!! so it felt like a very cool day. But it lasted only for one day.

That's how a very cool day looks in Greece, the last 2 summers. My humble opinion is that the climate is already faked up, without reverse point.

Hi mate, yea don't want to change with you, sorry. :(

We had some years ago, I think it was at june 39°C too at daytime. But can't remember which year. Yeasterday night was a real tropic night here with 25°C/24°C outdoor. between midnight and 03:00 o'clock. At 21:00 o'clock was around 29°C.

Last time I watched news at TV and remember it. There was really scaring bush and forest fire near Athens. I really hope you and your loved ones was not in danger and you are save, mate! :PRAY:

Buying concert tickets. Have we normalised anything so scandalous?
Click to expand...

I remember my first Oasis concert at Westpoint in Exeter - Think it was 97.
The only place to buy tickets for the event was HMV in Exeter - They opened at 9AM and me and mates joined queue at about 7ish.
Guess what we got tickets along with all the other people who queued.

Now tickets are mainly being bought by people using bots with many being resold.

I am still in the queue for Oasis tickets now as I managed to join the queue at 17000 where my mates all joined at around 200,000.
 
Fuchs' sourdough bread because they sent my stomac and intestines to a bloody frenzy this week, from which I haven't recovered.

No way. I was at that concert. I was the kid at the front next to the left speaker (couldn’t hear properly until the next day) that chucked a plastic cup of water on Bonehead 🤣

TBH I really don't remember much Travis was the support act Oasis were there.
It was 1997, I can't remember anything from 2017.

Also seen Oasis live about 10 times so all the concerts have all merged into one.

Yeah that’s right. It was a great show. I’ve only seen them once so I remember it well.

Yes it's always baffled me. I have tried to find logic, but i think there is none with it. Please wait... would be more appropriate. Instead of it trying to kid us that it's groundbreaking tech going on. lol.

Quite right mate, they could be saving the money for some monster nights out, when they're older. :BEER:
 
Today I reading the EA FC25 official stadium list. And the rumors are confirmed that Inter and AC Milan are not licensed nor the San Siro is with the game.


Hey Konami, you can sakk my ballz. 🤡

I mean for what eCrapball need exclusive licenses? 💩
 
Keir Starmer & his war on tobacco...

The reason he gives for trying to stop outdoor smoking is it costs the NHS £2.5 Billion a year.

Well Mr Starmer, if you did your homework, you would find that the estimated tax return on tobacco for 24-25 is £8.6 Billion. So therefore smokers have every right to healthcare.

Politicians...I've shit em.
 
That I have to shot my poo rocket into my ceramic bowl again and again, every week.

Why the hell it can't simply evaporate? Or I could simply spit it out of the window on the street. That would have need just some seconds.

Life is to short to do it every week on this way as I said above.

💩:BLEH:
 
Recently i saw a study presented by a person, telling that complaining/share negative emotions, increases estrogen. Which in turn - as a female hormon - increases happyness for women, while decreasing happyness for men. :SHOCK: So unfair that women get happier if they complain (and get listend to) while we get unhappier.

On the other hand we men get happier when doing competive stuff, as it increases our testosteron, like playing PES. :RSCARF:

Also i am quiet glad, that the male brain is capaple of just "switching off" when sitting there and stare at the wall, unstressing. Womens brains increase in activity in such situations.

So life is fair afterall 😅
 
This makes so much sense..
I never understood why my wife feels the need of giving out (and talking in general) about work after work.
Few times it led to arguments coz at some point I couldn't listen to it anymore, coz it was pissing me off and making me grumpy.

I also do relax by switching off, hence I really like the fact that I have about an hour drive to work.
By the time I get home - I'm relaxed and don't really remember all the things that pissed me off that day.
 
Yeah and it´s kind of funny that what we need to relax, is in t urn making women angry because to them it´s the biggest punishment:

This guy has a helpfull comedic solution to this.
