Urine simmering incidents. Stick your rants here.

The woman who took the last parent & child space @ Morrisons a couple of weekends ago.
I parked on the next row, struggled to get the kids out and when I mentioned to her that it was a P&C space, she proceeded to have a right go at me because her mother (with her) was elderly and unwell. Not too unwell, however, to have a fag between getting out of the car and walking 50ft to the store 👿

I have my health, and after reading somafunk’s post it will all sound trite & pointless…..

Hope things improve, somafunk…

They will always have a ready made excuse. Always. The main offenders seem to be men in their late 50s or early 60s. Women of a similar age too, but slightly less so. The usual excuse is “aye, the wife’s inside with the kids”. Yeah, so that’s why you’ve got one carrier bag in your hand.

I challenged a taxi driver a few weeks back. “I’m picking up my daughter” was his response. You left a toddler in Tesco alone? I asked.

“No, she’s disabled”. He was getting apoplectic at this point.

“Oh right so you’re entitled to use her blue badge and park in the disabled spaces”.

By this stage he was ready to have a stroke. Informed me he will NEVER use the disabled spaces. That his daughter, had her daughter with her……then he said he knew where I lived, I should be careful….I was a dickhead etc. Of course five minutes later I see him walking around the shop on his own with a basket 🙄

Another good one, a cheeky bitch in an A6. As I loaded the kids into the car I couldn’t help but notice how immaculate the child seat in the back of the car was. Impossible. Of course along she comes, looking like 65 year old hooker on a Tuesday morning pushing a trolley full of booze. No kids of course. Puts the booze into the car, then doesn’t even bother to push the trolley back one inch. Leaves it right there in the bay 👿

The insanely selfish parking at the Forest of Dean cycle centre, gets me every time even though I generally arrive by bike.

People who are early. If I agree to meet at 11 and you arrive 10 minutes early don’t expect me to drop my sh1t and start to look after you just because you can’t tell the time.

If you arrive at 11 then the meeting will start late.

“They will always have a ready made excuse. Always.“

I confronted a woman for parking in the disabled bay at nursery. Normal spaces available literally two car lengths away. She said it was OK to park there because there’s no disabled people. Plenty of mouth on her. And then the next day she went crying to the nursery manager playing the victim and saying I had threatened her 🙄

My boy has been at school for two weeks.
He now pronounces “no” as “nooooooaaaaaaaaah”.

Ours has developed the Coventry “Ya” instead of “You” almost overnight. I don’t know how, it’s the same classmates as playgroup last year… unless it’s the teachers.
I can’t in good conscience correct him when I’m prone to the equally appalling black country “Yow”. When he starts saying “youse” though I’m stepping in.

Could be worse:

Then the same loud music and engine noise 10 mins later when he comes back, often sits with the engine running for several minutes or sometimes conducts loud phone conversations in the car with the engine running.

Practically everyone arriving early would reasonably expect to sit quietly until the person they’re supposed to meet has finished whatever it is they’re doing and can then deal with them.
I always attempt to arrive pretty much on time, allowing for traffic or other transport issues, but if everything flows perfectly and I happen to arrive ahead of time, I don’t expect the person I’m meeting to act like a whiny bitch just ‘cos I’m early!
I sodding well know I’m early, because I exercised due diligence and made sure I wasn’t late to avoid inconveniencing the person I’m meeting, so suck it up, cupcake!

Every time I see a McDonalds bag/wrapper/cup laid by the side of the road makes me want to nuke the company from orbit. There’s so much of it I reckon every single customer of theirs is a complete & utter cretin. I even saw some of their crap between Reeth & Gunnerside once, which makes me think that their peabrained, arsebuiscuit, tossers of customers must’ve saved it up just to piss me off! Dickwipes, the lot of them.

Approaching a traffic island on the commute home this evening. Heard a car behind me which didn’t appear to be willing to wait until I was past the island, so I moved out a little to discourage stupidity. Car still started to squeeze past and I prepared to give it a whack with my right foot, but turned and noticed a young child in the passenger seat, so didn’t follow through, just made an “are you thick” gesture into his rearview mirror. He made a ‘****’ sign back at me.

Poor kid has an asshole for a Dad.

People who get wound up by any of this. Start the meeting without them, cancel the meeting each time until they get the point or in 99% of cases don’t schedule the meeting as it wasn’t required in the first place and everyone would be better off spending their time actually doing some work.

A bloke living round the corner from me, after selfishly causing a road block because “this is my front” garden/driveway calling the delivery driver who couldn’t move his van, a **** black **** after he had the temerity to point out his selfishness. Didn’t enjoy that. The driver of the van stopped in the middle of the road and ran round to the front of the car, thankfully didn’t chin the bloke but wrote down his reg. Hope he followed through on calling the police later. Can’t even blame Brexit for that type of racism.

My daughter saying ‘off of’ instead of simply ‘off’. Also saying ‘I done it’ instead of ‘I did it’.

FFS.

The bloody supermarket having a fire alarm practice this morning at 0815 when I needed to get coffee to get me through the morning.

Oh the humanity.

Companies that make you fill in a ridiculously detailed application form on their own website, which keeps going flakey while you’re trying to do so.
Do they only want really desperate people to work for them or something?

This plus 100 painfull applications.

I’m sure some of these forms must be borderline illegal. I know data protection laws exist but some asked for more than my passport application! Yes for a sucessfull candidate you need a photo, NI number, dob, and all that jazz. But before you’ve even screened the CV’s?

Other drivers. This could go in the “indicators” thread but it’s all encompassing. Too much to list. Just other drivers.

South West Trains for late trains and some cock womble this morning putting a wheelie bin in the bike rack area. Do they do it just to piss us ofF? Its hard enough when there are too many bikes, or luggage dumped or prams…..

And…… then there is never a guard around to ask why?

They’re busy pressing buttons to open and shut the doors. Could be worse and SWT follow Southern’s lead, then they’ll be on strike for removing that button pressing power.

People with mucky old knackered oil burners that spew black shite oot the back of them every time they look at the accelerator. Like the Jag X Type on this mornings commute that overtook me. I thought I was going to howk up a **** lung or two. It’s alright though the tit in the fiesta seen all this and thought the appropriate response (as we were going over the A1 on a windy fly over) was to close pass me and then just hang around alongside for a bit as I wobbled around in the wind choking on a black cloud of Nox, until we both arrived at a traffic island at which point had to brake to let her back in. The **** shite I need to go through just to cycle to the office. **** sake.

Thinks back to the 70s… oh yeah, that’s right, public railways were shit and everyone was on strike all the time. That’s why private railways 😉

Weren’t railways a byproduct of the industrial revolution

Planet raping orangutan killing deforesting…

Top tip: It’s not just McD’s. The orangutan-killing deforesting Palm Oil is in almost everything. It’s pretty hard to avoid, especially as it is often just labelled as “vegetable oil”. 👿

(I’ve been a supporter of https://www.orangutan-appeal.org.uk/ for 14 years since visiting the sanctuary at Sepilok in Borneo)

Went to get the bus out to the airport after my conference, sat in traffic for an hour but that’s OK as the flight is an hour late, because the boss was dithering about me going I’m on the crap budget airline with no lounge, so expensive crap dinner at the airport then finally trundle down to the gate as instructed, plane has only just landed but they have got us to queue up 10 mins ago S there is about 1 seat for every 20 passengers at the gate (brand new terminal which manages to capture the depressing style of the shed it’s replaced. If I don’t join the queue early there will be no room for my way undersized hand luggage as they don’t seem to bother stopping the big trolley cases (luggage is extra on a flight costing 3x what I normally pay) still should be home by 11pm where it will be pissing it down. So in summary today is pissing me off

Dancemums – i can choose not to turn up the road with the dance school in it when driving home but sometimes I forget – so if cars are parked both sides of the narrow road (because of the dance school) its fine for you to do an unexpected stop in the middle of the road and push the little darling out to run between the parked cars – but what gets me is after setting off again its apparently essential to do a sort of half unexpected but expected 3 point turn at the first gap in the parked cars to then end up facing me in the middle of the road and wonder what to do next as there are parked cars either side and I’m sat in the middle of the road….and your time is so precious

People who stop in doorways, exits or whatever and do whatever it is they need to do “right there”. No, thanks, it’s fine, I’ll just squeeze past you, you inconsiderate £$&^%$ er

Calderdale rubbish collection…

Another vote for the abuse of parent and child spaces.

Had a total meltdown at some rude little sh*t last November who nicked the last P+C space despite having a disabled badge and their being empty disabled spaces available.
When I challenged him he just said he had a bad leg and told me to **** off.

Had it not been remembrance weekend, and him 80+ and wearing a poppy I swear I’d have put him back in the car and made him move.
Little c**t. I hope he never made it through the winter.

Normally I’m totally laid back and passive about everything but this just flicked the kill switch.. I was thoroughly embarrassed afterwards having lost my rag in front of my kids, as it never happens.

I feel better for getting it out – thanks for the opportunity.

People driving on the phone also infuriate me.

Taking part in an “adventure race” at the weekend and this sort of bollocks boils my piss

Stage 3 – please note that this short stage involves running alongside your bike on the canal towpath before the main ride, it is a technique that is worth practicing! Admittedly this is an unconventional format, it has been introduced as a result of feedback from canal towpath pedestrians from the 2015 event and safety best practice.

So some NIMBY Daily Telegraph reading arseholes have clearly objected to “their” canal being used for a race for maybe a whole hour one day a year.

Rather then telling them to jog on or reach a sensible compromise like, I don’t make it an untimed transistion so no one “races” they’ve come up with this steaming pile of shite. And then use elfin’safety as a justification.

AAAARRARRAGGGH!!

How is running along side a bike – making yourself twice as wide as a result better? How is it safer? The space beside the canal is now more restricted because each competitor now takes up more space? Rather then just running or cycling you now have to worry about tangling up in your bike or someone else’s bike.

What a lot of shit. If the must do it this way at least have the decency to acknowledge it has nothing to do with “SAFETY BEST PRACTICE”

People who think everything was better back in the day. The railways were shite under British Rail and are much, much better now. Take the rose tinted glasses off.

I’d say that’s a result for pressure groups but theres still some work to do, Sustainable beef farming, antibiotics, employee conditions etc…i’d best peruse that and see if Coca cola are getting their act together yet

Cheers for the link Retro

Yep and massively, massively more expensive. I’m old enough to remember the inefficiencies of British Rail first hand.

Under privatisation, when I have a complaint, my rail provider blames the government for setting the service guidelines, but my MP blames my rail provider.

Which race?

I agree that sort of thing is rubbish, but having been involved in event organisation sometimes that sort of cobblers is the only way to get an event on – because it’s not the event organisor who decides what to do.

I was in a KFC the other day (I was picking up food for someone else, don’t hate me). Pretty rammed, and it doesn’t help that their system is to take an order and then complete it before starting on the next one, massively inefficient but that’s another rant.

Took about ten minutes to be served. I step aside waiting for my order and the customer behind, a couple with two or three of their spawn in tow gets to the till, turns to the kids, “right, what do you want?” FFS HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING THERE ZOMG ELEVENTYONE!!1! If I’d have been behind them I’d have dragged them into the kitchen and made them go bobbing for chips.
