trousers Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 People that walk out of shop doorways into a stream of pedestrians without looking. That said, 'accidentally' clattering into those that do this can be quite rewarding....
Window Cleaner Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 People that walk out of shop doorways into a stream of pedestrians without looking. That said, 'accidentally' clattering into those that do this can be quite rewarding.... Except when they're carrying shopping bags that seem to be full of bricks.
ecuk268 Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 People who start every sentence with "so". People getting on the bus or at the supermarket checkout who suddenly realise that they have to pay and then spend ages fumbling around for purses, cash etc. People who can't find their seat at St Marys and stand in the gangway looking around with a puzzled expression. It a row number and a seat number, how difficult can it be?
whelk Posted 21 May, 2019 Author Posted 21 May, 2019 People who stab you repeatedly then p1ss on you without saying sorry.

It a row number and a seat number, how difficult can it be? Yeah baffles me how people can grasp a basic numbering system. Now if seats were individually named like ‘willow’ and ‘juniper’ I’d have more understanding. But H10 less so
Ohio Saint Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 It's a US thing, but having to stop at every single damn junction where there should be a yield sign!
Lighthouse Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 The ridiculous cost of sports tickets and merchandise and the knowledge that they wouldn't charge that much unless so many dimwits were willing to pay it. I remember Man City sending half their allocation back to Arsenal because they wanted £60 per ticket. They should have been sending the whole lot because there were no fans willing to pay it. Then there's replica shirts going for £55 each for something which costs less than £1 to mass produce (to a standard template). Other sports are just as bad; F1 perhaps the worst. I remember McLaren charging £45 for a souvenir T-shirt which didn't even have their logo on it. You were literally paying them to be a walking billboard for Vodafone and Mobile 1.
Shroppie Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 Cyclists on road when they have a dedicated cycle lane 40 mile hour club Middle lane hoggers People who don’t understand car hierarchy Cyclists who think they are in Tour de France People who don’t use both lanes and merge in turn People who purposely block the 2nd lane to prevent merging in turn and causing a bigger queue Cyclists Tractors on the road in rush hour Lorries who over take other lorries on dual carriageways and take 30 miles to do this Cyclists Rubber Necking, what do they want to see? Someone’s head hanging off? Cyclists Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAll this [emoji106] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Ohio Saint Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 Rubber necking is a complex thing. Seeing someone's head hanging off is the last thing they want to see, but they are compelled to look because it's not something they would want to miss.....And by they, I mean me.

Get a thermostatic shower tightwad! Its only about £50 more and will transform your days
whelk Posted 22 May, 2019 Author Posted 22 May, 2019 ‘Foot races’ and ‘rapid’ Mind should be separate thread for commentary annoyances. ‘By his standards that is a chance’
Window Cleaner Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 People who don't know how to shop correctly. Above all those who go to the check out, unload their stuff and then go back to the shelves for something else.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 I take it you hold the same attitude towards inconsiderate drivers who think the same way. Yep
Saint Billy Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 Cyclists who are so intent on getting a better time on their route tracker app that they disregard everything and everyone else on the road. The three cyclists, one of which was a 50 year old doctor who were doing the above, who threw a punch at my wife and damaged my car because she stopped at a junction and held them up. Who then bravely legged it when the police were called. So dumb were they that they forgot that they could be tracked on their own app, idiots.
badgerx16 Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 Cyclists who are so intent on getting a better time on their route tracker app that they disregard everything and everyone else on the road. . This. Inconsiderate and selfish dickwads like these end up colouring opinions held about cyclists in general, and people end up lumping all cyclists into a collective to be generically disliked.
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 It's a US thing, but having to stop at every single damn junction where there should be a yield sign! At least you have ‘right on red’. And multi-way stop signs. I think they work quite well.
Hatch Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 train related stuff Trying to get on before I get off, ( often results in a shoulder charger to the face) Standing on the left on escalators (often results in a shoulder charge to the back) Holding a paper ticket to the oyster card reader ( often results in name calling) Eating smelly food.
benjii Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 People who start every sentence with "so". Can we also add people who start responses to questions with, "Look"? ****ing arrogant, rude way of speaking that isn't normal and tends to be indicative of a proper ****. I think Blair might have started it.
Saint Billy Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 Over reaction to a goal by the pundits on Gillette Soccer Saturday, sorry Le God. Jamie Carragher, gobby tosser. Smart motorways. Theresa May dancing. Dogs that drool. Jim White, the most aggravating man on the planet.
richie Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 people who insist on queuing at petrol stations only at the pump which is the same side as their petrol tank even when there are free pumps on the other side! every bloody petrol pump will stretch to the other side of your car!!
Toadhall Saint Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 people who insist on queuing at petrol stations only at the pump which is the same side as their petrol tank even when there are free pumps on the other side! every bloody petrol pump will stretch to the other side of your car!! Not if you have a t5. [emoji3] but yes is a tad annoying
Katalinic Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 People who put the phrase "cheeky" in front of words.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 At least you have ‘right on red’. And multi-way stop signs. I think they work quite well. Yeah, I like right turn on red, but those 4-way stops could be mini roundabouts.
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 Yeah, I like right turn on red, but those 4-way stops could be mini roundabouts. Jersey in the Channel Islands has ‘filter in turn’ which is similar to a multi-way stop.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 People who put the phrase "cheeky" in front of words. You've completely ruined the word monkey.....and even made it racist! You cheeky monkey!
Ohio Saint Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 Jersey in the Channel Islands has ‘filter in turn’ which is similar to a multi-way stop. Jersey? Um.... famous for being Gurnsey's big brother? Sark has even more interesting rules for cars!
Ohio Saint Posted 22 May, 2019 Posted 22 May, 2019 Ok, another American one..... every city, town, village here claims to the world capital of something. Strawberries, corn, haddock shaped potatos.....my town invented the Norwalk virus (now called norovirus)..... does our town claim to be the capital of that? No! We have made cruises a nightmare for thousands but for some reason dont want the name of Norwalk to mean the world capital of cruise ship misery.....makes my blood boil!
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 People wearing crocs in public Most of my heart surgeons wore crocs

Worst sort of person. Pointless even trying to see anything.
Hatch Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 Most of my heart surgeons wore crocs presumably when working and not out walking the streets, shopping etc... I hope..
Ohio Saint Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 Worst sort of person. Pointless even trying to see anything. Even worse than Hitler and Jimmy Saville?
Sheaf Saint Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 People who say "In any way, shape or form" because they think it makes them sound clever. It doesn't.
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 Worst sort of person. Pointless even trying to see anything. That's why they have to slow down enough to take a photograph.
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 Even worse than Hitler and Jimmy Saville? You never saw those two in the same room together did you. Just sayin'....
Kenilworthy Posted 24 May, 2019 Posted 24 May, 2019 When the ticket inspector on the train calls 'tickets please' and someone further up the carriage then involves them in a really complex transaction so you sit there like a lemon for 15 minutes holding your ticket. And people who start going the steps at the station and then stop to turn around to look at the platform monitor, bringing everyone to halt. And people who get to the exit of a train station and stop dead, almost in surprise at what they are seeing. What do they expect to see leaving Leamington Spa station?
buctootim Posted 24 May, 2019 Posted 24 May, 2019 Most of my heart surgeons wore crocs Don't want to ruin good brogues if they hit an artery.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...?
Manuel Posted 24 May, 2019 Posted 24 May, 2019 Sunflower seed holder that I got sold. You keep the seeds outside on a stand to save cupboard space. Don't bother, unless you want to spend half your days shooing off birds. Utter waste of time.
OldNick Posted 24 May, 2019 Posted 24 May, 2019 I found it ironic tha the thread under this thread was Jeremy kyle People who say 'to die for'

Don't bother, unless you want to spend half your days shooing off birds. Utter waste of time. Did it have the words "Bird Feeder" written on the outside of the box in big letters?
