People who leisurely pack their bags while still at the checkout in Aldi or lidl.
Valve cores that keep unscrewing while I'm trying to pump the tyre up a little bit.
Drivers who stop tight to the centre of the road while waiting to turn left, thus blocking anyone from turning right - or vice versa.
Children standing in supermarket trolleys. I don't wan't your dirty little shoes where I put my food.
Drivers who stop tight to the centre of the road while waiting to turn left, thus blocking anyone from turning right - or vice versa
also, drivers who pull right up to the line when turning left out of a t-junction, thus blocking the view of drivers having the harder task trying to turn right
1. Inconsiderate parking, especially when it's on my road. Yes, I said MY road.
And
2. Extroverts who impose their need for noise on the rest of us.
Rear fog lights used at the slightest hint of mist and a mile or more visibility.
And then forgetting to turn them off for the next month.
Music.
People eating crisps in my office.
They are doing this deliberately to piss you off, there can be no other reason, they probably do other shit like wear scarves and pointy shoes, spill a hot brew on their head.
Snotty sneering back chat.
If you don't like my opinion, keep it to your narrow minded insular self. Nobody wants to hear you whine like a 3 year old child.
The shoe event horizon.
I could have bought a house in the time it's taking to find "a pair of cheap black shoes to go with my black dress"
People who stop in doorways, get the **** out of my way shitstick!
Noisy eaters and people with colds.
'NO TURNING' signs. As Bill Bryson pointed out, possibly the two meanest words in the English Language.
People who dress in sports wear when not doing sport
Fat people who dress in sports wear when not doing sport.
My wife's insistence on switching the kettle and microwave off at the mains.But not the telly.
Cycle mudguards that end at hub level and still spray following riders. Their owners are all smug that they have guards fitted though.
Dog turd bags in the country side. Just kick it into the edge of the path and it will be eaten.
"Cyclists dismount" signs on cyclepaths? If you need to get off your bike the cyclepath is not fit for purpose!
Around my way there are loads - but recently a couple of the more stupid have been changed to "cyclists give way to pedestrians" which is rather more sensible.
One day I am going to either make up some stickers to change then to "cyclists are amazing" or just take some spanners and remove them all.
Those metal barriers on cycle paths that are designed to thwart the working classes on motorbikes.
Hot shops. Now, I know it's winter and everything but I'm walking round the high street and I'm wearing my jacket.
Please, why the **** do the shops need to be heated to 30c and the employees in short sleeve.
Give them a ****ing jumper or top and turn the temp down so I can shop without having to get undressed or que under and ****ing blast heater while some old biddy slowly pays and packers her bags.
Also. M&S this is at you. Why the **** you insist on taking ever ****ing inch of available counter top with irrelevant shit. Move the ****ing tat and give me some her to put my bag wheels I pack it.
Stupid people who leave their trolls in the walkway while they go off searching for things.
People who take ages to pack and pay.
People who must use the petrol pump on the side with the filler.
Bin men who can't be bothered to return my bin to the same postcode I live in.
Postmen who thing putting my door mat on large size items will render it invisible to anyone walking by.
People who dress in sports wear when not doing sport, and lifestyle dressers.
Does this include trainers even thoiugh I'm not currently training and a sweat hoody in spite of not being a boxer?
My pet hate is people recognising that they've maid a mistake and rejecting the correction because they can't be arsed.
When you're at the till at Rynan stationery and they always ask you if they can interest you in a rubbish biro for a quid.
Plastic packaging that you can only open with scissors.
Drivers who stop in the middle of the road to talk to friends in a car travelling in the opposite direction who have also stopped...innit
Anyone in sportswear when not doing sport
Anyone is running specific wear when not running - ok on a young attractive member of the opposit sex I can just about tolerate it but no one else.
Tesco. I always feel robbed when leaving.
Sports direct charge for click n collect - robbing buggers
Supermarket staff who leave their warehouse cage in the aisle directly opposite their colleague so you cant get more than one person down the aisle at a time. Or the Delivery picking staff who walk around at 90mph straight to the item to pick and leave the trolley directly in front of what I'm trying to choose.
Or other customers who walk in front of me when I'm trying to choose. Ive stepped back so I'm not blocking the shelves and can see all the choices (or trying to find what I want) and then they stand in my way.
I don't go to the supermarket often for exactly these reasons. Grr.
So much to agree with 🙂
Pedestrians with no/poor lane discipline - stop, start, turn left, turn right....no brake lights or indicators.
Train passengers putting their feet on seats - ignorant twunts who then yap when you ask/tell them not to.
Another train one - passengers who don't understand that quiet carriage regs also apply to them.
Supermarket trolleys being left anywhere in the carpark by shoppers: if all stores used the £1 deposit which is refunded when trolley returned to designated area and connected to neighbour with security chain.....
People who buy cheapest possible item in coffee shop and then spend hours at a table for 4 on their laptop making loud phone calls and have their crud spread all across the table.
WH Smith - would you like to buy any of our discounted (short dated) chocolate products and, just to keep you going, here's a f*****g unwanted voucher for some shit I have no interest in.
Chuggers - they should be forcibly removed by vigilantes.
And agree with Essel about Macdonalds.
People in general.
Having to create an account on an online shop before they reveal postage charges.
People who leisurely pack their bags while still at the checkout in Aldi or lidl.
Or people for whom the idea of payment after passing through a supermarket checkout is such a surprising notion that a major handbag search is needed to find the means to do it. 🙄
People who video with their mobile in portrait not landscape, I'm particularly thinking of the XXXX stood in front of me at last weeks Black Sabbath gig.
Round my way its people who are turning left into a side road who come to complete standstill to enable a car emerging from the side road to turn right.
Thus making the queue of cars behind on an A road, all come to standstill too, and then they have the audacity to allow 2 or 3 other cars out if they are waiting behind car #1, before turning into the sideroad themselves.
I just go round them now.
Stupid people who leave their trolls in the walkway while they go off searching for things
leave your trolls at home!
[b]Do you have a reservation, sir?[/b]
No, given that 80% of your tables are empty I assume that this would not be necessary
[b]Let me check[/b]
Dont bother, I will go somewhere more welcoming
People going into parking spaces forwards, Why?
Please explain how you manage to get the shopping into the boot of your car when shopping at the supermarket, then; enquiring minds would like to know.
People who leisurely pack their bags while still at the checkout in Aldi or lidl.
Where else are they supposed to pack their stuff? Or are they supposed to put everything back into the basket/trolley and take it out into the carpark and put it into their bags?
[i]Poor lane discipline from pedestrians. Is it really that hard to walk in a straight line?[/i]
Yep, that one.
Where else are they supposed to pack their stuff? Or are they supposed to put everything back into the basket/trolley and take it out into the carpark and put it into their bags?
That is the idea. it is what the window ledge at the back is for and why the tills don't have a chute and a bagging area.

They are supposed to use the packing shelves.
And this is definitely not petty for some hardcore Lidl shoppers.

Not going to Google that.
The latest driving thing I've seen is drivers screeching to a halt on a roundabout to let someone pull out of the next exit.
Fat people who dress in sports wear when not doing sport.
People who think "fat people" are fair game for a spot of piss-taking. Try it with brown people and see how far you get.
Postmen who thing putting my door mat on large size items will render it invisible to anyone walking by.
I came home just before Christmas to find a parcel wedged under my door handle. You know, for maximum stealth.
Plastic packaging that you can only open with scissors.
I was once in one of those pretentious tattery shops - you know, the ones that sell gadgets you never knew you needed, like electric olive de-stoners, Lakeland or some such - and spied they had a special tool for opening those impenetrable blister pack things. Sold in a blister pack. Maybe they were hoping you'd buy two, or an infinite number or something.

Ooooh, I know. Gig ticket vendors that charge you P&P for the privilege of having you print out your own bloody e-tickets.
On driving,
People who cut the corner onto the wrong side of the road when turning right. Particularly ubiquitous in my local Tesco car park. If you think I'm giving way to you you're sadly mistaken, you little bollocks.
That's the brainstorming for the next series of Grumpy Old Men boxed off.
Tips flat cap nicely done.
People who think "fat people" are fair game for a spot of piss-taking. Try it with brown people and see how far you get.
To be fair they're usually fitter and way better dressed.

Are these brown people also fat?

Who cares when you can reverse park like a god? ....but yeah, I always wonder about this. Almost to the point of starting a thread, but then I had a sandwich instead.
It was cheese and pickle.
The idiots who, when temporary lights change to green, immediately lurch to the opposite side of the road way before the roadworks, & sail through a red light convinced that they are ok because they are on the wrong side of the road. Selfish pricks.
Can I add another one?
British people calling me "buddy".
British people calling me "buddy".
Isn't that a Manc thing, i.e buddeh.
Isn't that a Northern thing, i.e buddeh.
We call each other "pal" round this bit of Greater Mcr, which probably grinds southerners' wee who think they're being patronised.
And it's not northerners I was thinking of, but a **** I used to work with in London.

Ah, fair enough then, buddy.
