Ha! We have a subtitled version.
Apart from that: all of the above. And to add one: owners with 60K cars not using their indicators. Yes, you’ve paid for those too.

Expecting more than getting knocked out in the group stages as a Scotland fan. Don’t understand why I’m surprised by it every time.
Gravity and why we’re not sucked off this rock into the vacuum of space.
The natural history museum has a massive billion year old meteorite in a glass case as if it’s not going to last longer than the museum and us as a species
People who have the TV on but want to hold a conversation

Yes! Permanent background TV. Why? You go to their house and they leave the TV on while you talk. Soft music is background, TV isn't.
It fills what some perceive as awkward silences between conversations. I don’t understand it but I’m sure that’s the reasoning
Man bags. I mean, really?
Looks like you’re holding it for your Nan.

I have a close friend who cannot hold a conversation if the tv is on, he will glance at it & become hooked on whatever is on, usually a cartoon for his kid. It’s really freaky to watch him just zone out entirely.

Every time I see some picking it up I just wonder why you’d want to do that. I don’t get pets though, well, maybe for those who don’t live alone.
Whenever I'm on the phone to my mum I can hear the TV just as loud as I can hear her. It's infuriating.
Each time I tell her "can you just turn the TV off if you're on the phone?" she turns it down a bit, says it's off, I can still hear it and she claims "well you must have it on in your house because I'm looking at a black screen".
The chances of me watching border force, can't pay we'll take it away, or Irish documentaries is absolutely zero so you're lying and the TV is still on!
In the days before phones being connected to cars, my wife used to answer the phone without turning the radio off. Used to drive me wild trying to talk with her.

How my wife uses so much toilet roll. Really don't get it, never will. I've tried asking why so much but immediately wished I never spoke.
Do you think the same when you see a kid getting a happy changed?
I agree!

Religion.
I’m quite like that to be honest, can’t multitask and the tv is funnier than you so..
People who clean up after their dogs… then throw it in a hedge. Maybe they’ve misunderstood compostible poo bags
Round here in the forest they pick it up, bag it, then hang the bag off a branch. Pigs.
So many things, but a burning question is why people have tattoos on bit of their body which they cannot see without the use of a mirror (if at all). Expensive, painful and a bit naff (like tramp stamps for example).
And why I struggle to break 80 at golf.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

It’s better than not using enough.
Why do people name watches with names like Batman Pepsi Kermit Hulk...ffs you are grown men.
- because there are things we don't understand yet...
in most SciFi novels, and I read a lot of them, humanity and most other races have moved on from deity/religion/creator/controller
Some sci-fi is based around individuals, and sometimes sentient computers, controlling other populations like a deity "pulling the strings"
There is an amazing novel where somebody is hosting Hell in a computer simulation. You get uploaded there after your death. A ?fake religion concept.
anyhow, fiction.
Same here. Usually at local beauty spots. Why go to the effort of bagging it just to sling it in a nearby tree?
Can any dog owner here explain it to me?

It’s odd. I used to walk my in laws dog and hated picking up - to the point I designed a very effective scooper thing (should probably patent it).
However, now we have a dog, I don’t mind picking up his poo.
Funny thing is though that I still don’t like picking up for any dog other than mine. Some dirty bastard let their dog take a dump right in front of the local war memorial and I was gagging like a goodun when I got rid of it.
Just about every flight I have taken in and out of Dublin airport, the round of applause upon landing totally baffles me. I mean. WTAF??

Why are we entertained on the big and small screen by themes revolving around the most abhorrent act of murdering a human being?

And women
Nope - these people are just moronic.
I can't bring myself to utter them - they are so 'twee'.
(I'll stretch to Seiko "Bullhead", but that's about it)
The simulation scenario is quite mainstream now as it is a logical assumption based on the way technology is advancing.
I won't say more here as it's the G&D. It's a rabbit hole that is worth exploring.
I don't mind saying I do this. Albeit always retrieve the bag. My dogs have a preference of sh**ing just past the poo bin, normally a few minutes walk past. I can't be bothered to double back. Plus I prefer to have both hands free for the walk ahead (normally another hour or so) where both hands are needed to ensure I can control the dogs with a whistle, treats, etc... At the end of the dog walk on my return home, I collect the bag and pop it in the bin as I pass it again.
For those who intend on leaving it hanging in the tree/bush forever, I have no idea.
No tipping in Italy, but then there's no sign of service either.
Referring to a football team as if you play for them…’we played really well…’ no you didn’t you were sat on your backside in front of the TV. You’re no more a part of the team than my mother in laws cat!
My daughter now has a couple of dogs and when out walking with her a while ago, I was horrified to see her hang the bag on a branch, but she explained it's common for people to do this and then collect them and dispose of them on the way back, which she did.
I guess some people either don't bother or simply forget (or take another route unexpectedly), but it's clear that not everyone does it to recover it later, but it has changed my view slightly on the practice.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I agree, I just don’t get this.
I have a mate who does this all the time. He is not exactly the picture of health, he would pull a muscle running for a bus. Yet it’s always “we were great, we were robbed, we have the best racist thugs”

Sorry to go off topic but could you recommend a few of your favourite SF authors please? I like good Sci-Fi but struggle to find the wheat amongst all the chaff. TIA
I go to Costa instead, because they actually sell coffee!
To me, most of Starbuck's drinks seem to be designed for children...
To be fair, Starbucks isn't even taken seriously by most Americans

Why do people feel the need to change straps on their watches? Always baffles me. I buy a watch with the type of strap I like and just wear it. Simple.

We call them 'shit baubles'. On a walk recently we saw a large bush completely decorated with them, I forgot to take a pic.
Unfortunately my favourite films need as much gratuitous blood, gore and violence as possible!!
I suspect for every person who does the right thing, 10 don’t.
How do you know which is “yours”??
People who think it’s ok to talk / use phones at the cinema (a distant memory at this point but soon to be a problem again).
People who don’t understand man bags ;-) I have more things to carry than will fit into my pockets, including an iPad. What am I supposed to do with them? Use a shopping trolley? Buy a briefcase so I can look more like a man from the 1950s and avoid being compared to women from the 1950s by people still living in the 1950s?
A brilliant piece from a brilliant entertainer.

Anything from the SF Masterworks series. Filter them by the blurb on the back.
Asimov and Arthur C Clarke obvs, they really are that good.
Neal Stephenson - anyone who can begin a chapter with the words "Five thousand years later....." I'd OK in my book!
I like Hard Sci Fi, no dragons or goblins
Try Olaf Stapledon, Last and First Men (which is in the SF Masterworks series, it's far better imo than Star Maker)
This...
Why when it's a round of 16 do England always get Germany, Portugal or if World Cup Argentina. Surely we should only get them once every 15 tournaments which is once every 60 years!
