I hate when they infest your home:

I knew it wasn't real

That period of time when one lot of painkillers have wore off and I have to wait for the next lot to wear on

Boooooooo!

Yeah.

People on YouTube who do stupid fake burps and call it a skill. I don't even call them burps, I call them obnoxious roars. Real burps come from the stomach or just before the stomach. Fake burps come from the lungs. Anyone can fill their lungs with air and squeeze their throat muscles together when forcefully releasing it so it sounds like a burp, which they can control how high or low it sounds and how long and say sentences whilst doing it. It's not f*****g real. Grow up. I'm more impressed by burps that are real and you can tell they are real by the person's facial expression and body language.

As a person with R-CPD I am unable to burp but get fascinated by them so my secret shame is that I sometimes like to go on YouTube and find videos of people doing real genuine burps, but all I can find are these idiots doing obnoxious sounds.

Greed. It's practically just as bad as war.

One that appears whenever I use this machine: When I google for “e-mail” log in, it’s because I want to log in to that e-mail address (what else?) so why then do I get reams of information and options, most of which have nothing to do with what I asked for?

When the tinfoil does it's thing where it comes off the roll in a curly fashion

I bought a realistic looking plastic toy hippo and put it in a corner of my kitchen. Who would have thought something like a tiny hippo would become a Canadian icon? Especially when the PSA totally flopped at teaching kids not to believe everything they see on TV and believed House Hippos *were* real, because they stopped paying attention when the lady explains all of that boring stuff.

I also recently read the book The Moomins and the Great Flood, and the Moomins, which are a family of trolls that resemble tiny anthropomorphic hippos, used to live behind stoves in people's houses. Maybe they're the Scandinavian cousins of the NA House Hippo.

In the "name all X-letter words in English beginning with __" quizzes and a lot of answers are words you've never heard of or never use, like zuu, maf, woozer, caca, tref, wobwob, and so on. They just feel like made-up words that you'll never think of in a million years in order to complete the quiz.

My brain can only come up with about the same three words in them games

I can never be bothered to look things up

I do love those games (found on Jetpunk.com) but I do wish they were a little bit easier. It seems most of the quizzes there are for people with high IQs, as in MENSA type IQs.

Yeah I'm too slap dash to pretend to have a brain me

When I have a great idea for an invention but then (because I'm not James Spangler) it doesn't come to fruition

When people complain to the BBC about getting bullied on the road when they're out driving

What do they expect the BBC to do about it
