MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
people who take 2 steps into the supermarket then stop dead in their tracks as if its the first time they've seen the inside of a shop.
They're the same ones who wait until their entire family are filling the doorway on the way out before stopping dead to fasten up their coats, little Hermione's coat, where's her hat, have you got her hat, it's in the bag I think, where's that, you left it in the car AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHGETOUTOFMYWAY!
some of us drink pints, watch football and like sex....
Chicks with dicks?
*checks self* nope 
Although I will admit I do do the bin thing
Spending half the day following forum threads!!
Crying babies in restaurants after 9pm & people who let their kids run around (whilst they ignore them) in restaurants when there's waiters carrying trays of food and glasses.*waits for abuse from parents*
Stop complaining and bring me my Caesar Salad!
Another sex related thing that annoys me is the 'we are equal so YOU do the washing up/ironing/cleaning' Then when a fence needs putting up or the car needs servicing its all 'you're the man, you do it'.

Are you channelling Randall?
****s in cars who think everyone else wants to hear their shite music 👿

Haha! Wrong! Don't work in a restaurant..... BUT coming right up.... the chefs made a 'special sauce' just for you

If we were all truly equal, we'd stop putting up with this crap for a start. (-:

Bagpuss. You're a woman who only owns one handbag though. Which is a rare enough phenomenon to have a BBC documentary dedicated to it, with David Attenborough speaking in whispers as you are observed buying a pint and a packet of monster munch at the bar, before sitting down to shout abuse at the telly during a Champions League semi-final. 😀

......... 😳
I'm out of here, things to do ..... it'll take me ages to catch up later but hey ho!
People that bring their phones into meetings, put them on the desktop and think that having them switched to 'vibrate' is an acceptable thing to do.

People that call tedious meetings and drone on and on and on so that even an email from another equally tedious colleague would be welcome relief such that I check my phone constantly.
coming right up.... the chefs made a 'special sauce'
heh! I never antagonise waitstaff.
But what really grinds my gears is people who...
Those people who come to your door at 6:45, when you're in the middle of bathing your kids. They ring the bell like there's a medical emergancy so you leg it down only for them to say "I can see all your windows are new, your sofits are new but have you thought about having your porch re-done in UPVC?" no **** off and if you're going to turn up on my door trying to sell me stuff then at least get a decent hair style and take some of the pearcings out of your forehead.
Also people with umbrella's in busy places - not the small people I don't mind being hit in the chest so much, but people who are average height who wave those spiky basterds around at my eye level.
I also hate the tube at rush hour, not much of a problem as I don't live in london but tomoorow I have to travel on it with a big bag
...don't put the subject of their new post in the topic line but instead bury it in the body of the post so that you have to click from the main page into their post only to find it's some nonsense about ****ing BMWs again.
1. Adults who still say "gnarly"
2. The person who is the laughing stock (and embarrassment..) of the UK bike scene, yet is too far immersed in his own little deranged world to realise it. I'm thinking it's Autism or Aspergers. No idea why it annoys me, but it does. Gnarly, dude. I don't even have to put a name to it!
3. People who call me "my friend" after ordering a kebab - seriously, if people were that friendly, there would be world peace, especially in the middle east!!
4. People who moan about the running costs of their Chelsea tractor - you just dropped £80k on it - I don't think the price of fuel is something you really have to worry about. If it did - spent £60K on a car, and use the £20K spare change to buy fuel...
people who take more than 15 seconds at a cashpoint! a laser should come out bond style and cut them in half.
people who take ages in a supermarket, let all their stuff pile up then start to bag up. again bond stlye laser should appear and cut them in half.
people who drive down the road with parked cars on their side, they have no spatial awarness and A- either chicken out and dont pull out as they have loads of room and hold you up OR B- you are coming the otherway, they pull out way too far as they think they will hit the parked car but infact make you swerve. (wouldnt they rather hit a stationary car than a moving one??) this is made far worse by peoplewho have a brand new car "eeerrrgh i dont want to scratch it so i will drive 2mph" TW*T!!!
w*nkers who use disabled/children parking bays when they are neither disabled or have children. they should have snipers on the rooftops taking these out.
i really need to chill out!
Shop assistants who pack my bags without asking then proceed to put the nice soft squishy bread in a bag with a bottle of milk. Do these people not realise that leads to pitta bread Warburtons?
JUST LEAVE IT - I WILL PACK THEM MYSELF!
It's not 'retro' - it's just old and you probably found it in the back of your shed. Or a skip.
See my post today in chat 😉
Another one - when I am washing up and a little bit of water splashes up into my face.
I get unreasonably angry at that.
Hora's brain.
Why? Does it climb out of his head in the middle of the night(I totally understand why it would do that), get on a train from Manchester to London, rock up to your front door and whisper through the letter box "let me in Fred, Let me in" or something?

😀
When petrol station goons stick the '8' in upside down on the price signs.
Really? this actually annoys you.....
This 'check out - next customer' thing.
Surely, if you are the next customer ie. stood behind Terrahawk, shouldn't it be you ie. the person behind Terrahawk who is in fact the 'next customer' and ergo or thus, whichever you prefer, you, being the person behind Terrahawk should be placing the 'next customer' bar on the conveyer belt?
Does that make sense? It does to me.
I'm currently struggling to get on with men that are less tall than me. Irrational but true.
Do you decant the butter using the butter knife then spread it with another one?
That is the proper method. And bread rolls should be broken not cut but I don't get too wound up about that. 😉

I do have lots of *coughs* 'not for outside shoes' though.... letting the tomboy side down!!
'washing up' how common!
People who take their misbehaving 3-12 year old offspring to a nice restaurant after 6pm. If you can't keep them under control, don't make me endure the little ******!
Grammar. It's important people, so use it properly.
Correct use of the English language. Item A is different [b] from[/b] item B, not different [i]than[/i]. Similarly, "less" refers to something assessed as "how much"; something that is counted ("how many") is "fewer".
BBC "News" - and the increasing focus on non-newsworthy drivel. BBC News Breakfast show is NOT ****IN NEWS! Sian whatsit (not the weather ex Mrs Lembit Opik, but the BBC breakfast harpie) is not capable of presenting NEWS!
I could go on. Surprisingly, I've mellowed somewhat in the last few years....
Airport baggage collection. You know that yellow line. If you all stood behind it then you'd all be able to see your bags well in advance and collect them in a timely and safe manner. In the meantime I'll just tenpin you, your fat orange wife and your football shirt kids with 32kg of Samsonite.
's better.
"The BBC has learnt...."
People who say or indeed type 'Grrrr'
More than one exclamation or question mark.
More than one etc.

On a similar note, airports clogged with people that fly once a year on their annual holiday to whatever hellhole package destination they choose. Getting stuck behind these cretins at the security check is a nightmare. Bags full of liquids, metal everywhere, not ready to put their stuff on the security scanner rack when they get up to the front.
Checkouts are popular, aren't they.
People who go "no thanks" when asked "would you like any help packing?" and then proceed to pack at a sixth of the rate that their items are being scanned, so they're left with the EU Tesco-Value-Goods Mountain still piled up when the receipt is being printed.
You could always do it yourself..?
My response to women (it IS mostly women) who complain about men who don't put the toilet seat down. I get so irrationally annoyed about the fact they are so irrationally bothered about it. It is no harder for women to put it down than it is for us men. We want it up most of the time. You want it down. See that thing at the back of the seat? It's a hinge. The seat can be moved up and down at will and as required. Live with it and move onto something important in life.
The irony of this is not lost on me, especially since I do tend to put the seat and the cover down most of the time 😀
monksie - Given all your dislikes, this place must have you must have you on the verge of spontaneous combustion on an almost constant level. Are you here as some kind of masochist????!!!!!
😉
Have you ever responded yes to the question of would you like help packing?
It takes 20 minutes to find some youth from the back who then does it badly and slowly anyway...
Have you ever responded yes to the question of would you like help packing?
Jeebus no. Does anyone ever? Some spotty kid whose mum still does his shopping putting your fresh meat in with dairy products and bleach in with the baby food...
I try not to let little things annoy me but this thread has annoyed the shit out of me.
(Oh and the Henry hose thing...that has been known to be a minor irritant)
Oh another one - the corruption of the word 'unique'.
It always used to mean 'the only one of its kind', so could not be qualified by the use of an adverb. If something was the only one of a kind it was 'unique', otherwise it wasn't. That was it, black and white, no room for interpretation.
Somehow usage has degraded this fine word, eliminating its absolute quality and endowing it with a meaning akin to 'remarkable', 'unusual' or 'rare'. So we now get people saying that something is 'very unique' or 'quite unique', and getting away with it. They'll be up against the wall come the revolution!
pedants, see above.

bleach in with the baby food
Not a sealed container of bleach in the same bag as a sealed container of baby food! Noooooo!
I would also question the use of the comma in 'pedants, see above'. Perhaps a dash would be more appropriate (and NOT a hyphen - a proper dash).
whathappenedtherethen?
I'm currently lodging with my inlaws, so the answer is...almost everything they do.
This includes (and is certainly not limited to):
*Random creases ironed into my work shirts. You don't fold the short to iron the yoke..!
*Having to provide me with a clean towell every day - I've used it AFTER washing, so it isn't dirty..!
*My FIL's tedious stories about work. He retired 9 years ago, aged 56, because he was fed up with working. It's all he talks about.
*My BIL's weird habit of asking the age of everyone I mention. WTF?
*Storage heaters that come on in the middle of the night and are freezing when I wake up.
*Unrepaired broken taps, door handles, window locks because they have no mechanical sympathy
*Storing potatoes in the fridge
Boy, could I go on....
We store our potatoes in the fridge. Nothing wrong with that.
Oh, and:
*Slamming doors
*UPV doors that squeek when you close them. Actually, UPV doors full stop
We store our potatoes in the fridge. Nothing wrong with that.
1. They preserve just fine in a cool (not chilled place) under a cloth
2. Refrigerating potatoes makes them produce acrylamide when fried or roasted. But, if you like increased carcinogens in your food, be my guest....

I do not have such a place to store them.

I am going to die, along with all my family.
Anyway - nothing nicer than a cold potato eaten raw Mmmmmmm
People commuting on the train during the peak travel periods of the day who spread everything they have over the seat next to them. Selfish and ignorant eejits. Still, it does make for an entertaining game of standing there and making them clean it up so you can sit there - even if there are spare seats elsewhere in the carriage. Worth it just to see them huff and puff as they look around the carriage to see spare seats that you could be sitting in, but know that they are being a complete ****wipe so can't complain. Best thing about it is that they usually end up more uncomfortable than they could be if they had only been a bit more considerate in the first place.
Middle lane drivers on the motorway who move over onto the inside lane when you come up behind them only to move back into the middle lane once you have passed them (and the inside lane is clear as far as the horizon). What's that all about then??
[i]Women should leave it up, men should leave it down, logically next user is probably different gender [/i]
Dudes, just leave the seat down. Even when you go for a wee. Everyone is happy then.
binners - it's a kind of anti-therapy.
Hora had me giggling earlier - the worlds gone mad.
Grrrrr!!!!????
This could make a best seller........ makes Grumpy Old Men look positively happy!
I'll tell you what really pisses me off.
When you walk into a shop and see someone coming in behind you so you stand there and hold the door open for them and they just sail past without a thank you. Really - is it THAT hard to acknowledge the fact someone showed you courtesy with a simple 'thank you'. Still - serves me right for living in Harrogate with all these old rich women hanging around everywhere.
Dudes, just leave the seat down. Even when you go for a wee. Everyone is happy then.
never got this never left the toilet after having had to lift the seat up and felt the need to go and complain at someone for this extra effort. Why is this such a big issue to women ?
People who are proud of the fact that they never read instruction manuals and then spend all their time asking me how something works.
People who automatically assume all kebabs are unhealthy.
People who ignore the person in the wheelchair I'm pushing and ask me questions instead.
Disability and stupidity are not mutually exclusive, but they are different.
Atheists who belive in the paranormal.
People who claim to have a phobia about feet.
The letter 'a'
And people who can't make their mind up about which letter they hate the most.
😆 Rushed typing wasn't it! I was in such a rage thinking about that letter, I didn't check my post!
Sammy, don't worry your pretty little head about it.
Woman's perogative and all that..
All of the above . . . and those flinkin' annoying adverts over there ---> 👿 I appreciate they are a source of revenue for the site but FFS I only popped over to the Halfords site for a little light entertainment - I don't need a £149 Apollo . . . oh and I haven't got, never have had and never will have a car so why would you want to buy it?!!!!!!! Sorry STW but other sites are available where I can browse a thread without being constantly bombarded with worthless ads relating to the content 😡
My work mate who uses my nice clean mug but gives me the dirty one that aint been washed for days.
Waiting at the bar only for the person who has only just turned up to get get served first
On the plus side, this thread has cheered me up immensely. Is it just me, or does other people seething with rage make you chuckle?!
mamadirt - 3/10, must try harder. To be fair, it's not stw's fault that the networks buying their inventory have piss-poor behavioural targeting categories, for whom "mountain biker"= "someone who would ride a bike labelled 'mountain' regardless of weight, construction or functionality"
As an aside to the mods, I'm guessing you do also sell ad space on the basis of having a reasonably affluent (discretionary income), very discerning audience for not just bikes but some cars, tech products and suchlike?
Yeah, but nail salons???? 🙄

It was a lightning closure. Rightfully so. 🙂
Ourmaninthenorth can I suggest you also stop eating breakfast cereals, pastries, cookies, breads, rolls, toast, cocoa products and coffee as Acrylamide has been found in these though at lower levels.
grrrr I'd have succeeded if it wasn't for those pesky kids.....
iDave, give it a rest son.
