Drivers continuing to indicate right as they turn left off a roundabout. The drivers of Milton Keynes are terrible for this, and MK is basically one big roundabout.
Indicating at all is a dying art so at least they're only half twonk.
I'm literally the only person left in the UK that indicates on roundabouts regardless of their size.
People approaching me for directions in the street while holding a phone with a maps app open!
Jaffa Cakes have definitely got smaller.

"People" (trying to protect their identity) who put some of the washing in the tumble dryer but drape some stuff that could be tumble dried over the radiators, despite there being room in the tumble dryer.
As in, we now have two tumble dried pillow cases and two wet ones on the radiator.
Kayak - I still indicate.
My latest annoyance is; a facebook plea from some country house where visitors with children (it's half term this week), were allowing the brats to pick flowers, dig up bulbs, jumping on picnic tables and chairs and generally treating the gardens like a rubbish bin. Even after being asked by the 'volunteers' to 'please' control their children and pick up the litter. Arrgghh.

We called in at Croome Court/RAF Defford* yesterday, and one of the volunteers said they'd put some things away for half term week.
*worth a stop if you are Worcester way

I'd heard that small people don't need to indicate at all!
People who should know better advertising "magic potion" supplement crap.
I get that podcasters need sponsors, but I wish they would find sponsors that are producing things that are genuinely worthwhile. Most of the crap that Olly Wilkins and his annoying salesman mate peddle is embarrassing and Andrew Neethling is terrible too. FFS even Google's AI says AG1 is nonsense.
I've whinged about this before but it's worth repeating.
Doing the washing up. Ran out of washing-up liquid. It's OK, I think, I didn't buy more because I know there's another bottle in the cupboard.
And I was right, there is. An empty bottle. WTF?
People who open all the upstairs windows "to let some air in".
There's 45mph gusts out there. Doors and windows are slamming shut, curtains are parallel to the ceiling and in danger of coming off their hooks. FFS if you want some fresh air, put the windows on the ****ing latch.
The till staff in Aldi with their headsets on chatting away to their colleagues. I wouldn't be on the phone while at the checkout as it's rude.
Back specialists who claim we can cure the sciatica you are suffering from, just bring yourself and card for a nice chat and a wee bit localised massage maybe a bit acupuncture
Who should be the best chiropractor, sports massage, osteopath ?
When someone doesn't replace the toilet roll when it finished, ahhhh
I missed a memo yesterday. It was evidently "lurch to the left just as you've nearly finished your overtake" day on the M4.
So many people doing it, when the usual thing is to stay in Lane 2 all the way to Wales.
People who open all the upstairs windows "to let some air in".
... with the heating going full chat because it's cold.
I'm cross that the term "****panzer", which was formerly for SUVs, has been pre-purposed specifically for Tesla Cyber Trucks.
You know what boils my piss - these bloody lids that stay attached to bottles! F those guys!
lids that stay attached to bottles
Twist 'em they break off. Just remember to recycle the top as well as the bottle.

You can rip them off. I like it for the simple reason that they're not going to skitter off under the fridge or car seat.
Related though, I bought a cheap store own-brand bottle of cola that had the tethered cap and the retaining ring was sloppy. Every time you try to pour it'd flap round under the stream so it'd fill up the cap. That was crossmaking.
You arrive in person to see someone for business or whatever, and just as you're starting a sentence, some knobber rings them, usurping you and you have to stand about like a div until they've got off the phone after an age, leaving you time to reflect and add to this here thread.
Maybe not disproportionately cross but I was fuming when I saw a mass balloon release in my local park on Saturday. It's 2025, there has to be a better way of marking someone's life than littering the countryside.

The very last bit of that should make you at least a little bit happy, please? The rest, I'd wholly agree with you.
First day in the office on a phased return after 2 months off with anxiety and depression, and all my colleagues want to ask me what to do on my cases they've been allocated.
Guys, if I knew the answer, I wouldn't have been off!
Pricks reading messages on their smart watch in meetings. Rude ****s.
C5 and the absolute bollocks they keep churning out about the royals. Just the adverts for the programmes make me want to smash my telly.

Yeah. I took one for the team recently and went to see the new Bridget Jones film with Mrs kayak23. Was really not happy to see a scene in the film where they release some balloons for the deceased husband/father. Very sad of course, but yeah, not an ideal thing to have in a film I thought.
Bloody NZ sandflies. They may not form clouds like the highland midge but they are persistent and very bitey. Horrid little things. I had my morning coffee walking in circles this morning.
Arrgghhhhhhhhh
People that call non electric bikes "acoustic bikes" and people who call eBikes "eebs". I still have no ideas what the double "e" stands for.
Entirely electric? Evidently electric? No idea.
eebs". I still have no ideas what the double "e" stands for.
We've done this multiple times. It doesn't stand for anything.
Say ebike. Now say it again but leave out the 'ike'.
Any problems, call Sam Pilgrim. 👍
The MOT tester leaving my wipers on intermittent for the entire test today.
Also leaving a 39 year old car idling the entire time. Can’t see how it’s necessary.
Seems like unnecessary pollution and the tester risking a sudden hot shower from such an old vehicle
Surely if the fans come on and off a couple of times and it doesn’t piss coolant, it’s all good.
Youtube. You gits. You sucker me in with the promise of utopian bliss by taking advantage of a free trial of Premium. Now, I'll concede, ad-free YouTube is a thing to be enjoyed. I'll admit to being impressed.
But, no, wait one flaming moment...the second the free trial expires, you now subject me to pre-video ad breaks of a mind numbing, non-skippable, 45 seconds, then, as if that wasn't enough dross, you interrupt my video viewing with another 28 second slot, and further intermittent ad-breaks thereafter. Oh, the horror if it...gits.
Cancelling British Cycling renewal.
No simple link on dashboard, have to phone in or email.
Gold/Silver/Bronze membership has gone since last year's renewal, cheapest riding membership with the discounts but not insurance is going up to £50 for the year... My Bronze was ~£25 iirc! 😮
And while I'm moaning about British Cycling, why are ebike discounts limited to just Tredz from what I can see, but you can get 10% code for non-e bikes at the likes of Halfords and Decathlon?
Has anyone mentioned hotel beds that are made so tightly that you cannot get in to tbem and then when you do manage to untuck it enough to get in the bottom sheet is untucked as well?
Boils my urine as there is no need at all.
This forum. Sorry, STW. New threads don't appear, the pages load no quicker than the old forum, and the new anti-adblock tool is making false accusations.
Yeah. I took one for the team recently and went to see the new Bridget Jones film with Mrs kayak23.
Wandered into the cinema the other week with my wife to see Paddington 3. Ticket checker looked surprised - "oh, you look like the sort of people going to see Bridget Jones". My wife saw the funny side. I didn't.
Candle wax.
That gets right on my wick.
Badly trained dogs.
Well trained ones are fine and don't need a lead even. Badly trained ones are an antisocial menace
😡
"eebs". I still have no ideas what the double "e" stands for.
Electrically essisted bicycle of course.
