aleigh - Insincere people and I've met a fair few of them, most of which I no longer speak to because I can't be bothered with having people like that in my life

You mean "most of whom"! How ever are we to have a good moan thread if it's full of mistakes like these?

B minus.

Dear.

arriving late for a forum thread to find all my favourite pet hates have been taken already.

people who sit next to you on the bus, but don't move when a double seat comes free, then when you say excuse me to get off, they promptly get up and move to another seat - AAARRRGGHH

Anyway, you'r eligible for a free car parking permit!

For outside your house? Why thank you very much!

Not eligible for any other sort, as strangely whilst we pay Malvern Hills council tax we don't pay Conservators' precept as we're out of their area. Mrs aracer does have a full price permit though as she tends to come with mini aracer.

I'll make sure I park well down the road where you'll not spot my car...

Oh, and back on topic, people who get wound up by other people sitting next to them on the bus.

it's not the siting next to me - it's the not moving to a free seat that's the problem

if we're playing that game - people who can't understand why i'm not happy with something or who try to wind me up just for the hell of it 😉

Drivers pulling out to the right before turning left. If you were driving a truck or a bus this would be acceptable, but you’re not, you’re driving a Nissan Micra, please stop it.

People who can't be bothered using a shift key (you know who you are). And I'm not talking about the odd line or two it's often paragraph after paragraph. How much effort does it take to press the shift key? If you can't be bothered putting a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence what's the point of putting any punctuation at all? Or why not put the whole thing in capital letters?

Anyway - if you can't be bothered to type properly I can't be bothered to read what you say.

My mother and Father in-law. The poisonous, idle, scheming, ignorant, bigoted, slimy, poisonous - did I already do poisonous, just to make sure poisonous, backward pair of NED's I have ever had the misfortune of becoming acquainted with.

Also the aforementioned couple, who dont have the common decency to be on the other side of the street, writhing in agony as their clothes burn, so I can pointedly ignore them and NOT cross the road to p1ss on them to put out the fire of social cleansing that has so fortunately afflicted them.

Oh and the seemingly never ending flow of kn0bs who park on double yellow lines, so they can just "pop into" the post office, even though the town car park is free and there are plenty of spaces around the town. The lazy idle b'stards

Coffin dodgers who insist on shopping at lunchtime, when they have all day to do it.

Supermarkets who put the slowest person in the store on the express till.

Folks who have no off road parking, then moan that they can't park outside their house. You are parking on the public highway at the end of the day - don't like it buy a house with a drive!!

people who don't indicate when driving

supermarkets who put 16/17 yr olds working the basket checkout on Friday & Saturday evenings - they're not old enough to to sell alcohol & everyone has either a bottle of wine or a few beers in their basket !

People who can't be bothered to return the shopping trolleys they use to the collection points.
People who park on the chequered boxes at the closest point to the supermarket entrance rather than a free space 20 yards away.
People driving whilst using their mobile phones.
Tom Cruise.

People using double negatives! "I ain't done nothing" really raises the hackles.

Cars overtaking then turning left in front of you, forcing you to brake hard.

Housemates who insist on whacking the heating up on constant over winter - and who then express [i]great surprise[/i] at the size of the subsequent gas bill.

There's going to be some enforced jumper knitting... 😈

Topic starter
 

Phil Jupitus

Hardly little though, is he?

He's actually a really, really nice bloke. The nicest famous person I ever had to interview (apart from Beryl Bainbridge).

The fact that he's so nice is probably he gets given so much telly work, because he isn't very funny.

Packets of rice or pasta where the plastic used is so flimsy, it's impossible to open it without the whole thing splitting and the contents end up all over the worktop.

Do I need to get out more?

watched a guy throw a cigarette on the ground whilst standing next to one of those purpose placed ciggie disposal bins... said him 'eh mate, look to your left' he replied '**** off you ****, mind your business' and walked off... he right royally p1ssed me off 🙂

Can't read all these to check if it's been done but ...........

Those ****ers that start to overtake you on a motorway & then slow down when they get along side forcing you to brake hard to avoid running into the back of something.

On a similar note - people that won't move from the middle lane to the outside lane to prevent a similar circumstance as above

the use of 'an' in front of the words historic, hotel, MTB.

i don't care if it's acceptable use of english, it annoys me intensely.

people who don't move or try and get onto the train before you've exited.
people who feel the need to shout and try and stop you with their car to tell you that the street you are cycling along is a one-way street.
people who do not say thank you or acknowledge you when you let them out of side roads.
people who take their work so seriously.
people who point out when you are 5 minutes late.
those above are related quite specificly to germans.

more generally:
people who smell of cigarettes.
people who smell of wet dog.
people who ride expensive bikes like they learnt to ride yesterday and have no skills to warrant such an expensive toy.
cars, serve their purpose but usage is too wide spread.
the GF parents telling me continually i should go to university, as if its the only way to prove yourself. (that may be a german thing)
U2, coldplay, et al....
people who leave lights on everywhere, my mum is a prime example of this. leaves lights on "coz it makes the house look pretty from the road" or "the dogs need the light on". arrrrgh!
people with an attitude resembling that of a wet fish.

Car drivers - even me when i am persuaded to drive by the GF. i am such an impaitent driver. Being a passenger in a car feels like time wasted so i usually try find something practical to do - like sleep.

And that pillock who just rode past my house on a motorbike with a noisey exhaust.

Smokers who think it is their right to drop the butt of the ciggie they have just finished. What do they think gives them the right to do that?

People who whinge about budget airlines additional charges, ignoring the fact that the whole package is cheaper... and then still book with said airline, but feel the need to grumble about it.

Keith Vaz - he's on the TV right now which is why I think of him. Do I have to give a reason?

My complaint is the 'underhand' way they do it - e.g. just booked flights to Manchester -
1.Flight - £ 8.84
2.Taxes - £ 44.00
3.Bags - £ 15.98 ea
4. bike - £25.00
4.CC handling charge - £ 10.00
So flight is great at £8.84 - but the other £95 comes afterwards -
just give me the real price, don't piss on my shoes & tell me it's raining

So they don't tell you how much it's going to cost before you get your CC out? Oh hang on, actually they do. So in fact you're whinging that it takes you a bit longer to find out the real price than with some other airlines? Really not sure what's so underhand about telling you what all the charges are before you pay for any of them.

Do you also complain that CRC advertise things at the price of the cheapest option, yet when you go to the product page you find the option you want is twice that price?
