Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show
podcast right now. I want to know small thing, big rage,
Some things day to day in life that just send
you to disproportionately mad, even though it's quite a small
thing on paper, but really your reaction to it is big.
This morning, before leaving the house, I just want to
(00:22):
go to the toilet, and it drives me nuts that
no one else changes those low roles. Just a bear
role there. Whoever used that previously knew that a bare role.
You are handing me a live grenade. They knew, they knew.
I took a photo of it because that's the kind
of person. I put it on the groove channel at
ten to five this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
You knew, that's all.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It says, the block capitals and what's going to happen
is my wife and two Georges to go man on
the edge. I'll be the one with the problem. I
will be the one with the problem.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Are your toilet rolls the backups within reach?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Right? No, always back into the right. So it's like
John Wick as I'm using one, I'm rea chamber.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
How many rocks are you going through?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Going through a lot of the moment, Jack going through
a lot of moment with fifty two year old dumps.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You need.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I don't go into a public tiler right now. It's
like checking for bugs. I go, where's the how much
is in there?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Okay? We should be a right, we should be right.
Get a beach tow.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
The other thing that drives me nuts as well is
no one in my family. And I share my life
with obviously my two daughter and wife, but none of
them will unful. I guess that's the world, right, the
word unfoul. They're like jeans or anything like that, or
they're jaggings. The legs are all mushed.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Up as they go into the wash.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pathetically right.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We'll wash it like that and hanging out to dry
like I've got a family of one legged people and
they all go, come on this childish went if you
coming bother?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Why should I have to can.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Leave shirts bundled up inside sweaters and jumpers.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, I won't separate.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
So you would go double closed through and they.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Just hang out on the line. Loader. You coming bothered?
I can't be bothered? Do I like the caretaker hair?
What's it for you? Jackie boy? Small thing? Big rade?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Mine?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Comes from the news this week.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Have you heard of this Minecraft movie meme that's going
around about the Chicken Jockey.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now I saw something and actually drive me nuts. It
is these these hyperactive brats trashing a cinema. Yes, apparently,
when you go name's Neil Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
When you go to watch the Minecraft movie, a character
comes on called Chicken Jockey, and all teens and young
boys know. At that point you throw your popcorn in
the air, run up and down the aisles. Now that
is just as a form most cinema. That was me
sweeping that popcorn. To think that there's hundreds of kids
every every session.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Ten screens. Today, it's the biggest movie.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Of the year, and that popcorn is the most expensive
food on the planets, the food that your parents paid for.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
How irritates How can that we are living in the
end of times. I'm sorry, but that is that's crazy, perhatsy.
What's it for you?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Small thing? Big rage?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yesterday I was wrapping a present for a friend and
I had the sticky tape. But I don't have like
the dispenser. It's just a role, a small roll of
sticky tape, and I could not for the life of
me find the end of it. So you know, you
open up the scissors and then you're like running it along,
smoothing it, trying to find you.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Can waste minutes and then the worst thing is we
go right, I've got it, and then you put it
but it doesn't all come.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Even worse how cruel?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, and like dozens of layers at one time, so
then the whole role so you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Just don't even roll it out. Yeah, trust me.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And do you ever do that thing where you just
get a really sharp knife and just sort of cut
into it? Yeah, make your own new Yeah, yes, that's
it all right, small thing, big rage?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
What's it for you?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You can text oh four seventy five three one O
four three. But Christian O'Connell show podcast, don't go to
work angry, don't come home from work angry, get your
rage on with the show Small thingsig put me being
back in the UK just a week ago.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
One thing I.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Noticed in a very crazy city like London, and I
used to work in it for over twenty five years,
but now I don't live there anymore. It's like you
step off a very fast moving treadmill. You didn't realize
how crazy it was right, I just got used to it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I go back now. I'm like a flipping tourist. I'm like,
the buildings are so big.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So did you used to work here right in the
middle of it twenty five years? No big deal? This
haus you every day and just on like on like
Oxford Street and Regent Street, where there's thousands of people
every single day and night.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Just people stopping randomly in front of you.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well that any thought that someone might be behind you
moving along.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
They need to have lanes.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I can't stand it when people just stop walking, just
stop walk at and you like clattering to them and
then have to move around them. Christian, big ray, small
thing for me putting one dollar in the trolley and
then you go and get it the end and it
will will not released. I know it's only a dollar,
but it tries me nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Christen.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The waste of paper at the polling boots. Yes, we'll
see this this weekend, Kirsten. When my wife pairs the
socks and some are not properly paired, I say, what's
going on? She says, they feel the same.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It doesn't bother me. I don't need to body paired up,
does it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I actually have a waiting room for my socks. So
one side of the drawer is singles that are waiting
for their friends to come through the laundry and then
they get paired with their exact match.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Before being put in the proper Styes, they have like
a sorting room.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
They have a sorting room because it does happen where
they get split into two different laundries. They'll wait their turn,
your kids till their friend comes around.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
So you wouldn't You wouldn't do it, come to what
knowing that you had two different colored socks on.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Oh but I wouldn't even do two different white socks.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm covering in with one red sock and one purple sock.
I have colored socks. I'm coming in tomorrow. Curse the show, someone.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
All the things big rage Christian people who won't move
up and block turning lanes.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's from Diane Christian.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
For the last seven days, my partner and I have
been in a standoff. I wonder how many people right
now listen to the show are in an unofficial or
official standoff with either a flatmate or a partner. Sometimes
with standoffs, it's never actually properly addressed, but it's bubbling
underneath everything. Anyway, our friend here, Christian. For the last
seven days, my partner and I have been in a
(06:26):
standoff over.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
A dish that he hasn't washed.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'm not sure if he has noticed, but I'm in
this standoff and refusing to wash it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Let me know how that pans out, and either sad
news is he probably hasn't noticed.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Every guy is that guy oblivious?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
If you're trying to wonder if we've noticed odds on,
we haven't noticed.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Sorry, this isn't Chris, Chris.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
What about the toast crumbs in the butter?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I am guilty of that. What's the problems?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Just a nice little bit of understand it's an extra
like you know, it's it's a nice little thing in there.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, I don't like the n I don't like any
other outside spreads going into.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
What about a tinsy bit of jam yellow lumber, But
there's a little bit of jam down the mob top
left corner, Christian. What about people who insist on reverse
parking at the train station and the train is two
minutes away?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
The people that that do that thing where they drive
they suddenly stop when they reverse back in taking.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Ages and it's fine if you get it first time,
but usually you take that five six times. Don't bother
do it.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And I'm sorry to be general general relationship, but it's mainly.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Whatever you say is.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I'm going to miming.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It's mainly.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Know I was saying is. It's mainly and who've got
really big s u vs? They don't know how to drive.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I don't agree with you there, Well you know.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
What I said. It's usually I let the record show
that I said nothing.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
It's usually trade easy.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He could have said, mums that don't know the drive
SUVs for the record.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
