Black trainers. Have you no sartorial decency?
Shorts worn with black trainers and black socks. What is wrong with you?
Socks with sandles. I know that’s an old one but the guilty are getting younger. 
Actors in TV shows and films who mumble and whisper. Might be my old ears though. 
And have I mentioned baseball caps worn backwards?

The price of gin. 

Whassup with black trainers?

I generally wear trainers out and about and I prefer plain black to brightly coloured gimmick styling.

(Unless you're also going to say people going out wearing trainers.)

 

(BTW, sandals are footwear; sandles sell cars.)

Nope. She had a wooden eye and a milky leg as well.

A-strings is my favourite shop, because you buy a new Fender and the 'free online lessons' sticker is in the goody bag, unloved and unwanted.

Especially when two are stacked like that. Maybe you just hate your crew?

Using two ( or more ) SVT8x10 cabs in any configuration when doing a TV session or anything

other than maybe a festival stage. I mean, how deaf do you have to be? 🤨

[petecarlton]

Drivers pulling out right to turn left.

 

People who use wet spoons in sugar.

 

Fodera basses.

 

Gym bunnies.

[NancyJohnson]

Basses that look like highly figured table tops.
Sandberg headstocks.
Flats.
Straight jackplugs out of the body.
Strat jackplates.
Referring to a bass as she or her.
Gig bags that aren't fit for purpose.
While I ran a Darkglass AO900 head for a while, I didn't bond with it, so Darkglass AO900 heads.

Reissues that are simply all wrong.
Reissues.

Indivisible volume settings. Whether on amp, stereo or tv, volume should always be on (ideally) an even number, but at least one that can be divided by more than 1. 
 

prime numbers are right out…
