There a lot of little things that can bug someone and wonder why it was there in the first place or a small question with a one word answer that you didn't know about. So these are the rules post a question of something that bothers you and next person who can give a good enough answer or reasoning get to ask another question.

I'll start first cause this has been pissing me off and I was wondering why they change the voices to that coke zero commercial (the one involving the eyeball and two tongues?

practicing is the basically the act of doing. When you're doing something you are practicing it. It's not as if you're "training" to do it which is what you are probably getting the image of when you say practice. Why other jobs don't get called "practicing" I donno lol

Reuse of bottles causes the plastic to degrade and get in the water or some shit. Apparently can give you cancer. From what I've heard.

Water itself can give you cancer from the chloride and fluoride that exists in it. I spoke to my chemistry lab tutor (who's doing a PhD on cancer induced by tap water) and he says that "cancer" can be caused by anything and everything, it's really blown out of proportion.

You know when someone says something but you didn't hear because you clearly have your earphones in, they get all mardy and go 'Oh no it doesn't matter now' This is after you've spent the time taking your earphone out -.-

And when, especially girls this is, that you like. Its always why don't you just go talk to her or some bullshit, why the fuck can't they come talk to us, stubborn fucks.

Yeah the please and thank you thing annoys me, especially in uni.

Some headteacher or other twat makes you hold a door open for them for about 10 minutes? and not a single smile or thank you, wankers, deserve to be pushed back through the door and it slammed in their face

When you're trying to get someone's attention, so keep saying there name because they don't hear you. Then finally they snap at you like "WHAT?!?!"...It's like jesus fucking christ, if you answered the first time I wouldn't have gone on..

EDIT- And when you and a group of mates are walking all on the pavement, and someone on their own is walking towards you, so you all move to one side so they can walk through...And they don't say thanks?!? I have made a habit of every time someone doesn't say thank you for something they need to, I tell them that they are welcome in a rather pissed of tone of voice.

The Minigun is a multi-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire (several thousand rounds per minute), employing Gatling-style rotating barrels and an external power source. Specifically, the term Minigun refers to a single weapon, originally produced by General Electric. The "mini" of the name is in comparison to designs that use a similar firing mechanism but 20 mm or larger shells such as General Electric's earlier M61 Vulcan.
