I hate coins in pockets! Always end up in wash, falling out and disappearing in a car seat. I hate notes as well. Cashless ASAP!

This thread was done after theotherjonv's tights rantette on page 1.

But otherwise, going somewhere owned by a charity who like to claim gift aid on your entry fee, but charge extra if you pay with gift aid. How the hell is that appropriate behaviour?

I had to go back and check what I'd ranted. But I was right. Can you +1 yourself?

Which leads on to another petty irritant - politicians voting for themselves. On May 7th as the polls open, they'll be one of the first in line at their home constituency to cast their vote. Presumably for themself, otherwise why bother? How gutting would it be to lose by one vote if you hadn't voted for yourself?

But, and here's the point; just as i can't +1 my point about tights being an abomination, (which they are - for reconfirmation purposes I've just looked at several pictures of ladies in stockings and I promise you, they're much better. Also bums, a thing of wonder, making them look like robbers faces by squashing them into tights is another injustice too far) - I digress; politicians shouldn't be allowed to vote for themselves. But as the strongest supporters of democracy and the democratic process they should still vote. And then tell us who for, and why.

Also; they're very busy. Being in some arse end place that would elect a chimp in an appropriately selected blue/red/yellow rosette because they always do serves no purpose on this day of days. They should either be on national TV convincing the marginal floaters, or in those constituencies campaigning hard for the vote that'll make the difference. Surely a postal vote is their only option?

These are the questions i want answered on the leaders debate. Specifically the one about tights. Give me a manifesto pledge to increase VAT on tights and remove it on other hosiery items, and you have my vote. Throw in a sausage roll and I'll even ham it up at the ballot box at 7am in a rosette of your choice for you.

Women with no sense of decorum when it comes to ablutions.
Such as, "I need to go for a wee", when they could simply say they needed the toilet.

The generally vile people I have to go to / from work every day who 1. Just throw whatever rag they're reading on the floor when they've finished looking at the pictures - usually on my feet. How hard are litter bins to use? 2. Stink of fags. 3. Gas endlessly at 6am entirely inconsequentially; 4. Put their feet up on empty seats etc etc.

People who insist on paying for a couple of pounds' worth of lunch by card - as above, with all the accompanying surprise and rummaging for said card when actually asked to pay.

Tailgating through speed limits only to disappear when the limit goes. You "drive" everywhere at 45 mph regardless, don't you?

And the ridiculous and meaningless use of "like" randomly scattered in every sentence.

Customers who , when phoned , ask "and how much is the bill?"

I then have to walk from the workshop into the office to check the amount .

They then reply "i'll pay by card"

I'm assuming you're phoning to tell the customer that whatever they were having repaired or serviced is ready to collect? If so you should be armed with that info before phoning?

The postman who folded the "do not bend" envelope to cram it through the letter box rather thann knock on the door.

People who park their cars beside yours when the entire parking lot is empty.

People who design/make jeans (98% of the time) with such flimsy thin pockets that they don't last more than 6 months before there are holes in them.

People who make noises when they eat.

People who say to themselves "that's better" after they have eaten.

People who are anal.

People who think Fish & Chips are unhealthy ... Ya, right ... nothing wrong with Fish & Chips as your bad health is caused by your own faulty genes and DNA.

wives who feel that the freezer has to be so full that i have to **** the drawers back in with my boot to shut the freezer door again. and if we start using stuff from it, then we need to replace it straight away 'in case we feel like it again sometime soon. and anyway freezers work better full'.
itd be lovely to convince her to just have the drawers half full say, so i could actually see whats in there.

wives who feel that the kitchen cupboards need to be so full that we have tins of food for every eventuality in the next millenium, and if we use a tin of beans and drop it down to 15 cans, then we need to buy some more next time we're out.
itd be lovely to convince her that the cupboards would look lovely and tidy if we just had food in that we were likely to eat sometime soon.

wives who feel that we need 30 cans of diet coke in the 'drinks fridge' and will buy more BOGOF packs of coke every time we're out, cos we 'used some last week'.

please can we just buy stuff when we need it instead of always having the f***in house full of frozen goods, tins of sh*t and diet coke???

people who use more than one question mark at the end of a question just to accentuate their frustration.

There's only one valid way to have a drinks fridge, and that's by just not putting anything but drinks in your one fridge. I was shocked to discover some veg in my mate's fridge but it turned out it's for the rabbit

People who browse freezers in supermarkets by holding the door open to look inside [i]when the doors are made of ****ing glass.[/i]

So then when you come along to the same door they're rendered opaque because they've misted up inside and you've got to hold the door open to see what's inside, and some judgemental prick invariably walks past and glowers at you thinking, "look at that idiot, standing there holding open a clear door to look behind it." Just kill me now.

Movie trailers that say "Coming March Ten." It's **** tenth.

Moreover, it's the tenth of March.

Women why rely on being attractive to make up for being disorganised, late, unhelpful, demanding and rude (not in that way either). If you were ugly you'd sort yourself out love.

For balance good looking blokes may also do this but 1) they don't try to use their charms on me and 2) I don't have the opportunity for personal experimentation.

Women who when you walk behind them because youre going in the same direction either suddenly speed up or stop dead for no reason or suddenly clutch their phone to their mouth and announce where they are on the street , as if youre going to grab hold of them.

Fat blokes who dress up in their sons tight suit and then go on mass to watch a gang of horses run round afield, jumping hedges, and shout haaaaaaa as then horses pass.

Blokes who take their wives g/f to watch horses run round a field, the women have made an obvious decision to get dolled up and look fantastic, so why does hubby /boyfreind/thug get so annoyed when you look at their partner.

People of low education who believe the torys are next to god and that ukip are a good group to support for the common man.

Bike shops that dispay prices on bikes,

People who don't bother to use any capital letters or punctuation in their posts.

People waiting for the lift in the supermarket who push their trolleys up to the doors, so when it arrives nobody can actually get out of the lift.

Opening up a thread knowing you'll get annoyed at the sheer pettiness of the forum and finding you agree with exactly 92.8% of the posts, and it's been a bit of a chuckle getting to page 8.

Bastards - I hate it when that happens.
