Bit of venting...what irritates you?

[Hockey_saint]

Arrghhhh....sorry.

 

Recently, maybe it's my age but things just seem to wind me up more than they used to and I've kinda been turning into my old dad. If it carries on I think there might be a falling down incident in shirlski in the not-to-distant future. Any how, I could give a list of things that are winding me up but I'll post 2 and see if anyone has any better ones.

 

1. People (mainly young males) wearing their oversized hats indoors...really? I thought it was bad manners for a male to wear one indoors :s

 

2. Riding on the pavement!!! Everyone seems to be doing these days arghhhh Old people in their stupid mobility scooters not giving a rats arse about pedestrians and speeding it along like they own the path...you've clearly been on this planet to know it's for people on foot....not motorised mentalists!! and kids, adults and everything inbetween riding on the path and getting annoyed when you suggest they should be either walking with said bike or riding on the road....one kid, when I suggested pavements were for pedestrians, replied "no they're not!" arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh :mcinnes:

 

There you go, my 2 current pet moans...go on, a problem shared.....

[Saint_clark]

I agree with the bike thing, does my head in.

[FloridaMarlin]

What really gets my bloody goat is another bike thing - cyclists who ride in the road when there is a cycle path beside it.

 

The cyclists who do this are what I call Wannabe Wiggos. In other words, they are the bloody jerks who have kitted themselves out at vast expense with a bike and all the kit, including professional team shirts and think they look the part.

 

Because of that, they think they are too fast to use the cycle paths, that are provided for them at great expense, to keep them safe and out of the road.

 

Instead of which, these tosspots (you can tell I'm getting angry just thinking about them) pedal in the road, forcing cars to go around them and slowing up traffic.

 

It annoys me because I have to pay my Road Fund Licence in order to be able to put my car on the road, these arseholes contribute nothing towards road upkeep for using their bikes, while millions of pounds are spent on providing cycle paths, to which they again contribute nothing (other than the council tax which we all pay).

 

I reserve the right to wind down my passenger side window when I overtake them to gently remind them there is an empty cycle path alongside the road they are slowing up.

[Viking Warrior]

On a similar vein . The increasing amount of reckless mobility scooters on the pavements . While there are genuine folk that need need these there are others that are just plain lasy that use them . It's this group that give the pedestrians a hard time. They need to have proper training and have a bit more respect for other pavement users such as the elderly . Children etc . Not act as chavs whist using them .

[Pugwash]

Wow, FM is so wound up he's posted it twice. Anyway, cyclists in Florida?? I've been here a week and not seen one yet.

[Viking Warrior]

Pug wash probably the reason you have not seen any is down to Florida seeking revenge

[AussieDog]

In no particular order....

 

Young people who think the world owes them something (in fact anybody who thinks that, but it just seems more prevalent in 15-25 years old at the moment) and show no gratitude when something is done for them (unfortunately have one of these at home until she turns 18 in 4 months time. She's going to have a big shock when her bags get packed for her in January)

 

Rude people. Manners cost nothing.

 

politicians who's idea of election campaigning is to criticise the opposition rather than promote their own ideas and ethos (yes, we are having an election in Australia at the moment and it seems to be a choice between dumb and dumber)

 

Have to say cyclists too. Alot of them seem to expect to own either the road or the pavement. Pavement are for pedestrians, who should have right of way, and CAREFUL and CONSIDERATE cyclists. I wouldn't be averse to cyclist having to pay a level of road tax either if they intend using them.

 

I could go on, but I'd have to change my name to Victor Meldrew...

However, it would appear the Government doesn't, calling it vehicle excise duty rather than road tax! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23694438

 

What annoys me is these bloody Wiggo wannabes on a Friday evening at rush hour!

 

Normally, my commute home takes me south on the M5. Sadly, during the summer the Southbound M5 around Portishead / Clevedon is gridlocked around rush hour due to the thousands of Brummies - other Northerners also available - who head South to Devon / Cornwall and plan their routes to be passing Bristol at about 17:00! This means I take the 'back route' through the 'head to pick up the motorway at Clevedon. This is the annoying time of the week where every bloody wiggo wannabe is out on their bike, riding on the country road and causing serious congestion for the CARS. Why do they have to do it at rush hour? Why not go out an hour or two earlier / later and avoid holding up all the rush hour traffic!

 

Oh, and most Fridays the wiggo wannabes are joined by bloody horse riders in the middle of the road! Horses live in fields, so horses should be ridden in fields, simple really. I don't drive my car through the field that you keep your stupid fecking horse in, so don't ride your stupid fecking horse on the roads that my car lives on!

[trousers]

People that walk out of shops into the flow of pedestrians expecting you to stop in your tracks to let them out. No, you stop until its clear for you to proceed, you ignorant cretins

People that haven't been trained in the usage of an umbrella

Tourists who just stop in the middle of the pavement to take photographs and them expect you to walk around them while they spend 7 minutes composing the perfect photograph that they'll never ****ing look at again once they get home

[rallyboy]

so many rants, so little time.

 

On the cycling theme and to offer a little balance.....people who walk their dogs up and down and across cycle lanes without looking, fat pedestrian families who waddle up cycle lanes with their bulging shopping bags of shiny tat and Iceland ready meals, blocking the whole path.

People who call themselves proper cyclists but don't wear a helmet, if you want to go at 35mph, what do you think will happen when you come off?

 

Train companies - you paid £3K and you expect a seat?

You've lost your £22 return ticket, that'll be £38 for a single...and why on earth do they have those squeaky tables?? Were they 3p cheaper than proper ones?

Barclaycard - customer service run by a retarded chimp.

Any company that you can't get hold of that hides behind online barriers, but thinks that they can fob you off with a list of frequently asked questions, all of which are totally irrelevant.

 

Ebay search - you searched Ford Fiesta, did you mean Fiesta by The Pogues?

No, I'd have typed that if I'd wanted it.

 

Parking fees.

Awful music - what are the Pet Shop Boys up to, is that meant to be a serious single?

There should be a board of control that stops really poor songs being released.

Men who like Mamma Mia or think that Olly Murs is good.

These things are aimed at 10 year old girls, what is wrong with you?

 

Gok Wan, why does he even exist?

Breakfast telly, bland nothingness presented by bland vacant former-journalists - not much news, but lots of promotions of forthcoming BBC programmes.

Strictly on the BBC - people I've never heard of doing something I'm not interested in, to a script based on a strict panto formula.

 

 

 

The movie Warhorse - woeful, I'd broken my own leg ten minutes in and begged to be shot.

Eastenders, Holby etc - written by idiots, for idiots.

 

Got to go, time for my meds.

[Sheaf Saint]

People who get to the top/bottom of an escalator and just stand there deciding where to go.

 

What the f**k do they expect the people behind them on the escalator to do? Keep stepping backwards until they make their f**king minds up?

[Badger]

Cyclists definitely ...

 

Not the average bloke pedalling his way home etc, but these lycra clad f^ckers who swarm in a pack to obstruct the roads; roads are a serious place to travel on, not a playground.

 

Weekends are the worst in Gloucestershire when they take to the Cotswolds en masse, so blocking country roads. I seem to recall the Highway Code saying cyclists - and horses - should only be ridden one abreast to minimise obstructions and making it easier for them to be overtaken. Seemingly these c^nts don't think it applies to them.

 

Numbers have shot up, Wiggins et al have a lot to answer for.

[trousers]

Breakfast telly, bland nothingness presented by bland vacant former-journalists

 

[saintfully]

People who can't help but exclaim about themselves.

 

Whether its an inappropriately large car (why can these people never park either), an inappropriately loud voice (hearing tedious chat about school fees whilst I was on holiday was particularly grating) or ludicrously old-or-young fashioned clothing choices - (mid 40's man in skinny jeans/mid 20's man in loose fit cords) - it gets on my ti.ts. Eventually it will dawn on them that people aren't impressed - just bored and depressed that so many of these pri.cks exist, with such little diginty/self-repect.

 

Also, the fact that the idiots are winning.

Other than that I hate blokes who wear scarves when it's not cold and blokes who wear those stupid woolly hats that they place in such a way that it sits on the back of the head and doesn't cover their fringe.

[rallyboy]

[JackFrost]

I posted one of these threads a few months ago, here's what I had then

 

 

People in traffic jams that leave 30ft gaps between them and the car in front

 

Jimmy Carr's laugh

 

Supermarket pound trolleys (I really shouldn't have to take pliers with me whenever i go shopping)

 

Jimmy Carr

 

'Style-over-substance' managers that pretend they know what their doing when they clearly don't and use meaningless salesman's terms to convince you they do

 

Deserted traffic light junctions where the lights are green on approach, they go red, not one other car approaches from any direction and 1 minute later the lights go green again

 

Corner shops that make their shop assistants say "anything else?" or "Just that?" when you pop in and want one item like a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread

 

Any football team managed by Sam Allardyce

 

Chart music being dominated by talentless kids singing about relationships and white kids pretending their black

 

PCSOs who cycle side-by-side on a road

 

I'll add a couple,

 

People who cold call at your doorstep, despite there being a "no cold-calling, we do not buy goods or services at the door" sign clearly displayed on your front door

 

Politicians who do that hand movement when making a point, when they connect their index finger and thumb in a loop, open the rest of their hand out and move it repeatedly towards the audience whilst talking.

[Webby]

Cyclists riding side by side instead of single file, chatting to each other without a care in the world for the trouble they're causing.

 

Also, motorcyclists riding up the middle of the road (the dotted line bit) inbetween traffic.

 

People on supermarket checkouts that ask questions about your day. They're already monitoring what I'm buying ffs, now they wanna know about my day. Don't ask mate, do your job, as quickly and efficiently as you can so I can gtf out of this hellhole.

 

Dog owners who say, when their dog comes bounding up to my 3 yr old, "oh he won't hurt you". Yeah? Can you know that, for sure? Besides, I don't want your dog's filthy paws all over my kid. Have a bit of respect for other people.

Edited 22 August, 2013 by Webby

[Huffton]

People that throw rubbish into cycle lanes making them unsafe for cyclists.

People that mistakenly think cyclists should pay road fund licence just because they use the road and the tax pays for the roads. WRONG.

[Saint Paul C]

That its

 

"Oh, they're tired" and not "over tired" FFS.

 

:-)

[suewhistle]

Ooh, can I go?

 

- Councils who design cycle paths deliberately to make them as unsafe as possible. Narrow, short (10 metres long anyone - the net is full of examples - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pete.meg/wcc/facility-of-the-month/January2009.htm ). Worth a look actually, some are hilarious.

- Councils who then don't maintain them so that they are an unsafe puncture heaven.

- Motorists who are too unobservant to appreciate why people sometimes don't use cycle paths.

- Probably the same motorists who park in said cycle lanes.

- Motorists with anger management issues: should they really be in charge of a fast moving tonne of metal?

- Motorists who talk about Road Fund Licence. Eh? It hasn't been called that since before they were born. It's called Vehicle Excise

Duty. What is it based on? Go on, guess, all you motorists who don't know. The level of vehicle emissions..

-Motorists who think VED is a hypothecated tax. No it isn't, any more than any other tax is in the UK.

- Motorists who think it's a good idea there shouldn't be other vehicles on the road. They want more cars? One would presume so.

Even Osvaldo is going to find that it won't always be a good idea to go to London in his Ferrari.

[View From The Top]

People, usually women, who are overly precious about their offspring instead of letting kids be kids. This is particularly true of parents of only one sprog.

 

Parents who think their precious darling is the next Nobel prize winner despite all the evidence that their sprog is actually so brain dead that if they were in hospital they'd pull the plug.

 

Middle aged people who cannot leap out of the way with alacrity when I'm hammering it down the pavement on my bike. OAPs are easy to swerve around and young people oblivious anyway.

I will say 'may I..., please, thank you, thank you' but I dont see why I should be subjected to, or have to participate in some dumb meaningless conversation and that by implication im rude if I dont show/feign any interest whatsoever, w*nkers.

 

People with dogs have to accept a lower quality of hygene in their lives, living with animals that eat/roll in/lick sh*t, but that dosent mean you or your child should have to, and nor should I. I have lost a few nice shirts over the years from peoples dogs jumping up at me and ripping them/staining them, no offer of a replacement, ever.

It's very good of you to list all of these things, holepuncture. I also love getting dissed by racists like yourself. It puts me in a great light, comparatively speaking. Seen any "vermin" lately, sir?

 

That all said, I reckon your real problem is that you hate yourself, or your life, or what it's become - and it's everybody else's fault. Also sounds like you envy a lot of the people you list.

 

Soz, chaps. Bit serious for TMS, I know - but I think it important that holepuncture works through his issues.

 

Come now, holepuncture - you're amongst muppets.

What really gets my bloody goat is another bike thing - cyclists who ride in the road when there is a cycle path beside it.

 

The cyclists who do this are what I call Wannabe Wiggos. In other words, they are the bloody jerks who have kitted themselves out at vast expense with a bike and all the kit, including professional team shirts and think they look the part.

 

Because of that, they think they are too fast to use the cycle paths, that are provided for them at great expense, to keep them safe and out of the road.

 

Instead of which, these tosspots (you can tell I'm getting angry just thinking about them) pedal in the road, forcing cars to go around them and slowing up traffic.

 

It annoys me because I have to pay my Road Fund Licence in order to be able to put my car on the road, these arseholes contribute nothing towards road upkeep for using their bikes, while millions of pounds are spent on providing cycle paths, to which they again contribute nothing (other than the council tax which we all pay).

 

I reserve the right to wind down my passenger side window when I overtake them to gently remind them there is an empty cycle path alongside the road they are slowing up.

 

Agree with this. A couple of weeks ago someone was on the road just after the Millbrook flyover just by Shell Garage but there is a perfectly good cycle path there. Needless to say I did tell her she shouldn't be on that road.

 

A cyclist got killed on that stretch not so long ago, it is too dangerous for cyclists, hence the cycle paths!

 

Also cyclists that ride up the inside of your car while you are at the traffic lights. So this must mean I only have to give you 10cm distance when I go back past you does it? Just get in the queue like everyone else on the road. They also seem to like going through red traffic lights when they think nothing is coming.

 

Don't get me wrong there are good cyclists out there that go by the road rules and I myself like to cycle now and then, but there are some absolute idiots that ruin the reputation of cyclists.

Ok, so basically EVERYTHING annoys me, but I'm pretty sure that (the phrase "does it notice?" aside - that can't be correct grammar), the most annoying thing currently in my life are women on Facebook telling each other that their wrinkled, under a month old, walnut-like, pink mass of child, which almost always has precisely NO distinguishing features, is somehow "gorgeous".

 

It is not gorgeous, it is a generic blob of newly-formed humanity, which as yes has absolutely no characteristics whatsoever. It's not even cute until at least 3-4 weeks, it's just a poo and puke machine.

 

The idiotic (deliberate or otherwise) misspelling of the word "gorgeous" in these situations is of course an additional irritant.

 

As for the rest of it - I pretty much agree with everything other than holepuncture's list, and all the cycling ones apart from the person who thinks people should be made to wear helmets - surely it's their choice if they want to risk spilling their brains ?

 

A* qualifications annoy me, seeing as they didn't exist when I did my exams - also the deluded belief that kids are getting smarter when it's completely bloody obvious that the government just sets quotas for each grade before the exams even exist, which is also why the grades improve every year despite the majority of evidence online indicating that Brits overall are getting less literate and tangibly stupider.

Number 155.

As it happens, I also spotted this :

 

Vehicles prohibited from using roads and pavements

157

Certain motorised vehicles do not meet the construction and technical requirements for road vehicles and are generally not intended, not suitable and not legal for road, pavement, footpath, cycle path or bridleway use. These include most types of miniature motorcycles, also called mini motos, and motorised scooters, also called go peds, which are powered by electric or internal combustion engines. These types of vehicle MUST NOT be used on roads, pavements, footpaths or bridleways.

 

Does that cover shopmobility or are they battery powered and exempt?

Oh now if we're starting on football administrators, how about Meon Valley Football League making my team, which had about 6 matches remaining and 3 months to play them in, play double-headers from February onwards due to our opponents being so far behind with THEIR fixtures ?

 

We actually folded due to the total lack of enjoyment of playing two games back to back on successive weeks for absolutely no good reason, people just didn't think it was fair and refused to turn up for it. If the opponents get so far behind and haven't tried to rearrange matches, why should WE suffer ? If THEY have to play back to back games, they should play them against other sides lagging with their fixtures first, and if necessary, two different teams on the same day as a back to back double header, not the same team twice.

 

And to be honest, Hampshire having so many cup competitions in the first place is quite an annoyance.
