Pet Hates?

Post by lennox1185 »

So come on, what are yours? I'll start with a few of mine:

1. People putting a wet spoon in the sugar.
2. Toothpaste being squeezed from the middle of the tube :x (Squeeze it from the end, woman!)
3. Cars parked at the side of the road with their wheels on full lock.
4. Hairs and bubbles left in the bath.

3. Cars parked at the side of the road with their wheels on full lock.
If you own a Rover/Honda with rear discs you have to this on a hill?????
:lol:


For me its
Bad lane discipline/ignoring the highway code
Ignoring the right of way rules
Ignorant parking
Other peoples kids
Mums (unless your sleeping with them)
Political correctness. Its a fashion followed by the stupid.

As I cover around 200 miles a day for my job I'd say middle lane hoggers on the motorway. Especially when the lhs lane is clear with full clear view ahead.

It boils my blood!!!


And also not job related, people that smoke in cars with kids in the back - do they not know what harm this does to them? And having the window open doesn't get rid of the smoke, it just pushes it to the back. Selfish bar stools!!!!


And lastly (for this post anyway), ignorant neighbours. They live in a flat or house but decide that everyone else wants to hear their crap music. Have they not heard of headphônes?
I feel the need................. the need to boost!

lol, that sounds familiar, Mark.

1. People who put their lights back onto full beam more than a half second before their lights are beyond your field of view, blinding you - just f**king wait that extra half second or so, or one of these days imma do a U turn, follow you, and beat you to death with your own light/indicator stalk after I rip it out of your dash, K?

2. People who think they still need to have fog lights on when they are within 50ft of a car, be it in front or behind. Odds are, if you're that close - even in pretty thick fog, I know you're there.
No really, I don't actually need the extra lumens destroying my patience.
Switch them off or I'm going to just go bananas and flash every light on my car on and off repeatedly at you for the next five miles, then kinda wind down in complete submission when you're totally moronically oblivious to my radical, frantic, furious disco of bright light behind you.

This may or may not have actually happened to me in the last two days.

3. I completely bloody agree with you on the point about the spoon in the sugar - worse is when it's still got tea on it, so you wind up with a sugar spoon with a great brown sugary bulge in the middle of it. Honestly, it's not tremendously difficult to keep the sugar spoon out of the tea when you pour the sugar off it into the mug. And if you do manage to splash it accidentally, hey, here's an idea, grab a tea towel and just dab it dry before you put it back in the sugar.

When you get in an R8 and the coin tray is full of screws you know should be screwed into something, and when the seat height winder doesnt work.

Aside from that, laziness and scruffiness at work.

It's late so I'll be brief, otherwise I'll be going to bed angry.

1) Folk that are now saying "brought" to describe something they've BOUGHT. It's FRICKIN BOUGHT MAN, NOT "BROUGHT".

2) Folk that do that tremendously ANNOYING Aussie/American thing of raising their sentences towards the end when describing or explaining things. Stop it, stop it NOW :x You don't hear professional people doing it, or news readers or people in films. So why are you doing it?

People who pull over in stupid places to take a phonecall - yesterday, found one parked in a bottleneck, just off a roundabout in Calne, with an empty parking space not a hundred yards up the road, backing up the whole roundabout and every road approaching it. Moronic bint then just stared at me when I gave her an earful as I finally got to creep past.

People who don't realise that things like busses and artics need more room to swing around junctions, and stolidly refuse to back up a little to give them room enough, making them take five times as long to navigate tight roundabouts and junctions. It's common sense, you stupid arrogant xylophones, just let the handbrake off and roll back a little.

25. Women who think by shoving their pram out off the curb is a free ticket to make you stop when there isnt a crossing, when you are a mere foot away. Cars dont stop on pennys you know!

Oh, see, you've got those wrong. They aren't 'tear here to open' tabs. Those are 'tear here to obtain stupid useless little scrap of plastic' tabs. Once you understand that you see them differently. And take a big knife to them without even bothering with the tab.

The highway code rule 79 is "Please give way to the bus"

As part of my driver training i did psv and manual psv, both tutors taught us the 3 and go. If you watch your next service bus, the indicator goes on and three flashes it starts to pull out.

Totally agree with this! Its really annoying. I had an argument with someone about this a while back, they were stopped at the entrance to the the petrol station waiting for any pump to be free. I drove past them and queued. They got out, knocked on my window and ranted. Oh you can believe i ranted back...
