Haha comedy gold

Can I make an exception here for Linkedin?
Cockwipes who post little aspirational articles like "5 ways to be a top cockwipe" "5 steps to getting your Cloud project approved by cockwipes"
And before you get upset, the "ock" is a substitute for 3 far more offensive letters.
...? Rhetorical questions.
Woefully inept CGI monsters in films.
...in the morning?
...people who finish other people's sentences.
........Condescending bell ends on sales threads
Ellipses overuse.
I struggle with long sentences but "idiots whining on forums"?
...cynic-al
😛
😎
people adding to missing/injured rider threads with "should have had some id", "Shouldn't have been riding that" etc.
Fit riders with no skills...you know the ones when you're doing a race/event, they pass you on the climbs, next thing you're stuck behind them on the descents wondering what is wrong with them. You manage to get past them and then it all starts again on the next climb/descent!!! FFS 😡

You mean roadies.
Half finished sentences.
Niche zealots.

Should [b][i]of[/i][/b] , surely? 😕
Half questions on a forum topic headline (followed by) ...............
Spelling and grammar hitlers!
Being so quiet/bored in work... that I am replying to your question
........Condescending bell ends on sales threads
Ahh Amos how did you make the link?
People who ask me to "speak to" a topic, rather than "speak about" it.
"reaching out". No, what you've done there is "sent an email".
Intolerant people. And the Dutch.
When the wireless signal at work is so poor that I've finished my poo before the STW forum has even loaded properly.
where to begin????
Oooooh now, let me see...
People who assume that roadies are some kind of skill-less VO2 max junkies.
The idea that rotating weight is somehow more important than weight anywhere else.
Those folk who 'need' to drink a litre of fluid every hour while knobbing about on a mountain bike.
Pushing uphill.
Baggies on a road bike.
Those who think a lack of salt is the cause of their cramp; you're just not fit enough.
The uniform; after lightening your bike piece by piece, you go out and ride about with a Camelbak the size of a suitcase with tons of crap in it, wearing big baggy pants!
Those same baggy wearing types who can't understand that in winter, those shorts will leave you chilly.
Peaks on helmets.
Helmets generally.
Helmets that have funny spaced vents so your sunglasses don't fit it.
Knee pads for bimbling.
Road riding fools who wear windproof longsleeve jackets and tights on days when the temp is 17 degrees. And long finger gloves..
Paying loads for a bike fit.
Custom frames that come with adjustable seatposts and adustable stems; custom should mean some commitment or buy off the peg!
Those silly big clown shoes that people wear to help them stick to the pedals with spikes in because they don't want to be clipped in....
Fixyriding sisters jean wearing fools in cities, get some brakes.
That's probably enough for now.
People who don't indicate.
People who won't admit when they're wrong.
Arrogant or just plain rude people.

You may not like it but it's not necessarily incorrect.
People who don't know the difference between than and then.
And people not indicating.
Crikey... every single one mate.. especially the "you go out and ride about with a Camelbak the size of a suitcase with tons of crap in it, wearing big baggy pants!"
I think Crikey has it... saves me some typing.
Sorry, I've got to add this to the (let's face it, fairly comprehensive) list by Crikey - Those damned extending dog leads!! 'On a lead' should imply that the canine in question is in close control of its owner. Not f***ing about, 30 feet away on the end of a near-invisible length of cord.
The other end of which is generally populated by a myopic geriatric or mid-life crisis-suffering git whose take on life typically involves the detriment of every other living soul on the planet.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.. (recoils into a large glass of red, taking comfort in the knowledge that tomorrow evening will bring time in the woods on the bike, far from lead-wielding grockles). Humbug.
People who write about all the things that annoy them (dam i annoy me too)
My latest bike (re)build project. Was supposed to be a cheap fs with only £100 or so of cost. Currently headed for the £750 mark I reckon and its crossed the point of no return.
American "cheese". Damn, it's awful. I think I'll have another drink to wash it down.
Hic.
Crikeys list will do me.
Those silly big clown shoes that people wear to help them stick to the pedals
hahahahaha.
riding for 4 hours in 21 degrees and then remembering there are vent zippers in my shorts.
...fat people, there is no need.
Off topic posts in the Bike Forum...
Roadies.
Sweeping generalisations about American cheese. Oh, and what Crikey said. And, riders with skills but no fitness. You go past them on a climb and then they're trying to get past you on the next downhill, only to get in your way again on the next climb or section of flat trail...
Roadies who think it actually matters whether other roadies wear baggies or lycra.
Wearing shorts without leg zipper vent things when I've been used to shorts that have these.
Knee pads that slip down or have sticky out velcro ends that keep catching on your shorts or frame.

- people who feel the need to tell the whole world what they're doing via Facebook
- arrogance
Errrr, those are the ones that spring to mind. I'm a tolerant person.
