Can you make sure you print that off and stick it on your door Tuesday night so before you answer the 50 time it gets knocked you remind yourself of every single possible condition any of the children might have, most won’t 
 

thanks

I have one on my door providing reasons for the bear traps and spiked pits. I'm sure they will understand. 🙂

We have 3 dogs. The "treat" is that we will give those that knock on our door a head start to get back out of the gate, the "trick" being I might be lying about the head start.

( The dogs just want to play, but with one being a Deerhound and another is a Newfoundland, their size and bark are the things you notice ).

It's easier to just not answer the door - especially if it's raining and the little bastards spend extra time waiting to see if someone is coming.

Pretty decent system round at mine which has worked for many years.  If your outside light is on and you put a pumpkin on your doorstep, you get knocked. Don’t do that and you pretty much get left alone. On the rare occasions this doesn’t work, as Weston says, just don’t answer the door.

Maybe the kids who don’t knock on the door have social disorders? You sick fuck not supporting them

I like the bottom one, I’m going to go trick or treating at 38 years old and claim I’m developmentally delayed. It’ll be like that episode of bottom with the cattle prod.

 

Back to the topic of things that annoy you - people that don’t take a towel to the gym to wipe down equipment after use. Dirty bastards.

Those people are less annoying than the fuckwits that just loiter around on/with some equipment for ages doing fuck all.

Yep. And they're almost as annoying as the idiots who don't put their weights back, or drag a bench half across the other side of the gym and leave it there.

Yep. Or supine rows (an underrated excercise by the way).

Yes was doing those as part of a program when I was doing some accessory work to improve pulls up 👍

Great to do between flat bench sets, especially in german volume training. 10 sets of 10 reps...flat bench, straight to supine rows 30 sets break. Repeat X 10. Anyways, I digress.

A 38-year old trick or treating, telling people about bottoms and cattle prods should raise no concerns. I'd keep that poster prominantly displayed though, just in case. 🙂

And those who make overly ridiculous noises when repping 

[badgerx16]

People at the gym doing weights in front of a mirror when you know full well they are not watching their technique, just admiring their reflection.

People that go to gyms (full stop)

There is some truth in this to be fair. There are three type of people at gyms, the posers who go there to look good and admire themselves in the mirror. The idiots who go to lose weight and then the small percentage of people who are there to actually get fitter and stronger, they’re alright.

To be fair, that's an annual game for me. Spot the ones that won't be back after their free / introductory week / month.

Would you prefer they went back to using RP?

When you’re on holiday and people feed the stray cats that hang around local restaurants so the things constantly hang around tables

I wouldn't say it annoyed me as such but yesterday I saw a woman in her sixties driving a Subaru Impreza and, I don't know, the world just doesn't feel right.

Twats who set up an out-of-office auto reply but don't specify a return date. Twats.

Cycling in the rain behind another cyclist who doesn't have mudguards.  See you next Tuesday.

Crisis at Christmas 'suggesting' a donation of £29,73 in their Christmas ad. Is it trying to make you feel inadequate if you only want to give £20 ?

And did they decide that asking for £30 is being greedy ?

“Developmentally delayed”. Really ? 

Can think of several other words in ‘old money’.

[hypochondriac]

When people use the word weary when they mean wary. Happens all the time.
