Me?
Seeing fuel tankers filling up at petrol stations
Seeing HGV trailers being transported on a HGV trailer
I'm sure there's more..... What are yours?
In Scotland, seeing London Underground trains on the back of trucks, like we'd stolen them for the clockwork orange. It was like One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing
People carrying dogs
Police in chippys
29ers
police in chippys"
I went to a mcdonalds on the A3 in Hampshire, there were police and squaddies in there...felt really weird...
Magnets.
(And GCHQ satellites)
Locomotive Engines being transported by road on low loaders.
English police helmets.
The way [b]so[/b] many people behave. You can't seem to escape the ignorant, greedy, selfish or just effin' unpleasant. It's the ratio of them to just normal people that I can't get my head around. Normal doesn't have to be bouncing about with a big smile giving away free kittens either, just pleasant. Surely it should be at least a 50/50 split?
And big cranes - can't compute them at all.
Does anyone actually read a complete newspaper, and more do they believe what they've read?
I'm off work with anxiety and depression. ****ing everything is screwing my mind at the moment 🙁
"Quick Cook" spaghetti... Like 12 minutes is too long.
How quickly my bank empties after payday....
Low fat as a weight loss aid.
Grated cheese.
..............Pyjamas, nail-files, ironing, that new knot everyone uses in their scarf these days...............
single occupancy in cars when people could have walked cycled or used public transport or shared a lift
People driving to the gym to run on a treadmill or ride a static bike.
Folk who wait on a lift to go up one floor.
The "fold a tshirt instantly" trick, yt be wytchcraft
People who seem to accelerate right up behind you/me so they sit on your rear bumper whilst you're/I'm doing 30mph in a 30 limit.
That gets more than my goat.
Gitz 😛
Seeing tanks on a normal road.
Radio and TV. You mean those signals are coming through the air invisibly carrying pictures and sound?
No, can't be.
gobuchul - MemberLocomotive Engines being transported by road on low loaders.
+1 see loads of them by me, mostly "virgin" trains
Morning Glory seeds.
Eeer, what was the question?
Folk who wait on a lift to go up one floor.
Worse, people who wait on a lift to go down one floor
Keeping you in a job though.
In Essex there are signposts directing you to The Secret Nuclear Bunker.
This a picture of a box of McDonald's cookies as they looked when I was a kid in the 1970s. If you examine it closely, you will see that Ronald is holding another identical box of cookies. Which in turn means that there is another picture of Ronald holding an identical box of cookies. Taught me about the concept of infinity those cookies did...

He's dead now you know.
People who drive to work in a town when it would be quicker to cycle, pass 100s of them every day on my bike. I just don't get it.
People that don't adjust to other people oncoming on a footpath. The buggers that stand their ground with not even a slight shoulder twist...
Drivers who don't indicate. It really does mess with my mind! something so damn simple and everyone who drives takes LESSONS! and has to pass a TEST! and yet....
Dark matter and all that. So much of the universe we can't find.
Left handed golfers.
The fact that at some point the sun will cool off and all life on earth will end and the planet will just become a frozen lump in space..
Why doesn't eyebrow hair grow like head hair and hang down in front of your eyes? *crazy*
Wives
That McDonalds clown (shudders)
Projection bias.
I get a bit dizzy if I think about how big the universe is! Granted I don't do this everyday though 🙂
Jekkyl - wait until you turn 50.
golf........
While walking on a busy street, the people that walk straight at you, even though you make an effort to move out of their way!
Blokes who wear scarves
Trying to walk around a supermarket,
Folk standing around with no spatial awareness who use their trolly to block an Isle while they gave a chat.
People who seemingly rush to " pull out" in front of you only to then go dead slow or even stop.
Blokes who wear scarves
Now we've all had a drink, but that's just inflammatory nonsense. The internet won't stand for it.
*swishes dent*
People in the supermarket that lean on the trolley as they walk.
Seeing London Routemaster buses driving down the M2 in Northern Ireland
(they're manufactured here, but it still looks weird)
I get a bit dizzy if I think about how big the universe is!
^^^^ this.
How far 'back' does it all go. Freaks me out thinking about it.
And people who wear woolly hats whilst sweating in a hot gym. WHY???
The great British Winter Weather
Go to the top of Snowdon on a very clear day (rare). You can see Cardigan bay and the Lleyn stretching out below you. Because you know the outline of the coast from maps and you can see it infront of your eyes, if you really concentrate you can visualize the true size of the earth.
Also works for other high places preferably near the coast.
Lead singing drummers.
I'm looking at you Paper Lace.
😯I'm looking at you Paper Lace.
Blokes who wear scarves without a coat... whats that all about?
Overpriced items ...
Obvious is obvious. 😮
Chewkw.
Blokes who wear scarves
Come to Germany.... It's like metrosexual central... It's no wonder they lost the war....
When you think about blinking, like count how often you do it, become aware of it.
People who seemingly rush to " pull out" in front of you only to then go dead slow or even stop.
You do know that they are members of a club? And that they are all in touch with each other via CB radio?
Driving down a country road when the car in front stops to let a horse and cart pull out of a side road so that we are now stuck behind it.
Quite German d specific but parents who wrap their kids up as if it were minus 5 despite the thermometer saying 10+C....as it was today.
People not saying thank you for holding the door open for them...
People not saying thanks for letting them out when driving through town.
People with 4K bikes who obviously only ride to the shops and back.
People who think I'm going to say "yeah, go ahead mate" because they've only got a few items to pay for....
Ok, this is just turning into general whining now 🙂
People who like their steaks cooked more than medium rare.
And restaurants that ask you how you want your steak cooked and then bring you something well done anyway. If your going to charge me £15, at least employ someone who may have learned to cook at some point in their lives.
crisp packets and anything that is sealed in a bag. I cant for the life of me open them without scissors nowadays.
Where is the on off switch .. its a standby button only.
Sugar -- apparently its going to kill us all?
whip me nae nae 🙂
Handball.... Did you know the handball European world cup is currently on and the Germans are in the final? No, nor did I till the GF told me this evening she's meeting her mates to watch the final.... Roll on the six nations....
Men
Men who wear scarves.
Men who wear scarves and nothing else.
Baby's. I know where they have been for nine months. No way in hell am I touching them without gloves.
[Ok, this is just turning into general whining now]
Ok. Fair enough. Here's one then: morpheous loops.

Chewkw.
Obvious is obvious. 😕
Talking to other people.
Water. In all it's forms from ice, steam or just in a glass. The weight and magnitude of an ocean or large lake. The power it can have. The feeling of rain to the simple cool glass to quench your thirst. Not to mention the value to life.
Beautiful stuff really.

You know, part of my job is running tours of our university, for applicants and parents. When talking about the sports centre, clubs and societies, I always go through the highlights then say "But they're all run by students so if there's something you're into that's not here get a couple of likeminded people together and start one. Even something random like kabaddi"
You would not [i]believe[/i] how many kabaddi players there are.
I wear a scarf
Beautiful stuff really.
Also an extremely bizarre and strange substance - we're just so used to it that we don't notice. Quite possible life would not exist if it wasn't so strange.
I like my scarf, I feel the cold at my age you young uns will find out one day
Cornflour with water mixture. It's solid AND liquid. Science-breaker.
Buses that aren't red and return bus tickets
Cornflour with water mixture. It's solid AND liquid. Science-breaker.
It's not both at the same time. It's not a science breaker at all, just a non-Newtonian fluid. Like ketchup.
Snoods.
Door handles that lift up - like the ones on uPVC doors, where you lift the handle to lock it.
It's like watching someone who's double-jointed.
Even something random like kabaddi"You would not believe how many kabaddi players there are.
had to google it.... wtf... like some weird, slightly homo-erotic school boy game of tag.

pull your collar up.
Drivers who think that the rules of the road suddenly don't apply if they're dropping their kids off at school
