That's a little harsh. Yes, the socks should be criticised, but for 2 reasons: One, they are identical (where is your imagination, fashion boy?) and two they are a solid colour, instead of striped or polka dotted to swear as loudly as possible with the shirt.
Let's just not go to the socks with slippers thing, it's another Pandora's box

Why so cruel that the word for the tongue-impediment condition - is named “Lisp”
Give em a break, FFS!
Passengers who get on the aircraft at the front access, and immediately start scanning the row numbers (while clutching a boarding pass for row 38)........
As if the airline is suddenly going against the norm, and decided to slot row 38 between rows 5 and 8!
Twats.
Passengers who stand and join the queue when business class passengers are called forward knowing they have a boarding card for row 38 seat e
Passengers who hear 'prepare for landing' start taking out their 'hand luggage' from the overhead compartments straightaway. Some hand luggage cannot be classed as hand luggage. It's massive!
Once landed, you hear seat belts clicking whilst still moving to park up.
I remember one bloke who nearly broke my shoulder rushing past. I on the other hand take my time as there is immigration to deal with.
I get to the luggage belt and all my suitcases are virtually in a line. I say say a cheery bye to the shoulder barger as he stands waiting for his luggage. What a plank.

When I used to travel with work (remember that?), having left the lounge & finding either no seats at the gate, or a delay & no seats, my best solution was simply…
Stand at the gate desk passport in hand, someone will follow, and then like mice more will join, not wanting to miss getting on a plane for a seat that is guaranteed to be theirs.
Once a few join, pick up hand luggage & take your choice of now empty seats by the gate to wait until boarding starts. Has worked every time.

The one good thing about air travel during the pandemic is the greatly reduced numbers of numpties in airports and on planes. Its quite nice getting to security and not having to stand in line behind people who seem to have ignored every poster and announcement about what to have ready to take out their bag, liquids etc. Idiots, who as mentioned above can't seem to work out seat numbering on planes have obviously been reduced recently as well. I'm not looking forward to air travel opening up again.

Flipside I never get why people leave the lounge when it changes to gate open.
The amount of times I've seen the same passengers who left ages before me, waiting at the gate.
It's not like they can't just walk past everyone if they miss the business boarding.

What if the universe didn't exist. And I don't mean just endless vacuum but literally nothing, no reality, no existence, nothing. I used to really freak myself out thinking about this as a child and even now if I think about it for too long I can feel the panic rising.
And if there can't be nothing then that means the Universe has existed forever and will exist forever which is equally mind blowing.
I find that a couple of glasses of malt and a packet of salted peanuts go a long way to taking my mind off things.

People who drive shiny new (or even old ) 4x4s with snorkels on them. My neighbour is a dairy farmer and drives an old Misubishi warrior on some of the wettest muddiest Riverside farmland around. If he doesn't need one then you definitely don't. You're not driving in a trans continental expedition, your driving to work in an office somewhere. You don't even need the 4x4 bit let alone the snorkel..
You are turning right at a T junction, driver coming from left is indicating right, why not just flash you out???
Everyone’s life is easier if we all done this..
I increasingly ignore people who flash me in situations like this - I’d rather be patient and stick to the rules of the road. Might make me sound like a right bore but as an ex-motorcyclist I don’t t trust another driver to tell me it’s safe to make a manoeuvre tbh

Used to take a regular domestic flight from Mexico City. Invariably when they boarded by rows (starting at back) - I would have a row like "8". That meant that all the overhead lockers were stuffed before I could get on -by passengers further back in the plane.
Used to stick a "2" in front of the number - and board with the first batch.
Get to row 8, toss the bag in the bin - and sit down.
People who bump their SC listing when it doesn't even have any pictures. GLWS.
People who call their car a driver and watch a wearer.
Considering what will be in it for the majority of the time, it might as well not exist.
It's expanding so quickly that at some point we will only be able to see our local group anyway.
The expansion can be faster than light as it's governed by general relativity rather than special relativity (I'm not a physicist though so I may have butchered this explanation).
