Gripes

Here I keep a running list of gripes.

Gripes thematically but in no particular order of gripey-ness

General

• Those tiny beanies people wear in East London that don’t even cover their ears.
• People pronouncing Italian foods in an Italian accent (unless they’re actually Italian, of course).
• People using “yourself” incorrectly instead of “you” because they think it sounds fancy.
• Companies charging extra on an item and saying it will go to charity - why don’t you just donate some of the money from the normal price rather than getting me to cover it?
• Coffee shops charging the price of a bottle of oat milk to make my coffee with a splash of oat milk.
• Piers Morgan.
• People who call going to the gym “training”.

Public transport

• Clapham Common station in the morning Monday-Thursday.
• The announcer on the platform at Clapham Common station (stop shouting!)
• People who lean on the handrail on the tube so that nobody else can hold it.
• People who have loudspeaker conversations.
• People who watch videos with no headphones.

Huxley building

• The toilets on 6M.
• The toilets on 6.
• The toilets on 5.
• The new coffee machine.
• The ever-declining amount of food served at coffee & cake on Wednesdays.
• The general lack of personal hygiene.
