Willis Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 People who talk to you while wearing sunglasses. I think it's rude - you can't see their eyes. University speak - where every sentence sounds like a question. I found myself doing it just after I left uni and I stopped myself doing it When leafing through paper people lick their finger first then do it. Never liked that Of course bad driving - middle lane hogs, tailgaters (usually in powerful german cars), people who have their headlights on during the day (usually in powerful german cars - not volvos and saabs, we'll excuse them), people who don't indicate or indicate only once they are pulling out to overtake - what's the point of that?
Dr The Singh Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 the best thing about being in this situation is knowing it will probably happen to the rest of male populace....just take solice in that I have seen other peoples mother-in laws, and some are very attractive and fun..........................I get the miserable one!!!!
crazy horse Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 I have seen other peoples mother-in laws, and some are very attractive and fun..........................I get the miserable one!!!! take my mother in law for instance.........................please will somebody
breadandcheese Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 p*ssing off tree huggers is one of the greatest pleasures in life........it makes up for the extra cost of the fuel alone:D Amen to that. Other bits of driving that p*ss me off. When people stick their indicator on and think it's a license to pull out on a motorway. I shouldn't have to slow down because you think you can stick your indicator on and pull out. How about looking in the mirror and checking the speed of the car behind you to determine if its safe to pull out before you do? Next time, I'm going to conveniently plough into the back of you.

macbeth Posted 24 July 2006 Author Posted 24 July 2006 i'm slightly irritated by people who make long lists of minor irritations
Daggers Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 i'm slightly irritated by people who make long lists of minor irritations ...and I am irked by people getting irritated at short lists of my irritations.
Thracian Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 Unnecessary yap on the radio when I want to listen to music. I loved the old Pirate Radio Stations like Radio Caroline - one decent tune after another with just a word or two of intro. Itches I can't reach. People who drive at exactly the speed limit in the middle lane of a motorway. Hypocrisy. Phrases like "At this point in time" People who justify things by remarking that other people do it... Endless unwanted mail trying to prise money out of you. Speed cameras. Advisory speed limits would be fine but cameras are a threat and genuinely insult people's intelligence. Threats of any sort - physical or verbal. People like John Prescott who bring their jobs into disrepute. Huge great four-wheel drives on town and city roads Bad manners of any sort - on the road or anywhere else Unnecessary swearing Snobbery or people who look down on others People who say "I'd like to do that" but never do. Holey Socks. Just cannot abide them and throw them out instantly. Things that are badly made. Any British manufacturer forced to close down. The friendly face of actually bloodsucking banks Councils who waste our money Any form of unnecessary waste Any disregard for animals and creatures People who throw litter out of car windows People with mobile phones on golf courses People who rustle sweep papers in cinemas Defensive/negative football and football coaches. Hold ups at airports Strikes which are timed to hurt the public most - it smacks of blackmail Bullies of all sorts Disrespect for other people and other people's opinions People who cannot hold their drink People who become violent with drink "Tame" journalism Bouncer type doormen Tuneless music Greedy people who ask you what everything you have is worth - as if it matters Bars that sell nothing better than Strongbow and other multi-national beverages etc, etc, etc

Daggers Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 perhaps it would have been easier if i'd have asked what doesn't irritate people Bunny rabbitsGosh, that's a pretty small list. Shocking really, I must be a more miserable sod than I thought.
Guest Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 You make a fair few points there, Disco Bob. I salute you. I would also like to add cyclists. In particular, those who ride on the road when there is a cycle path available, but then ride on the pavement when they should be on the road. I have a bike, I would like to add. For example, yesterday I went on a 15+ mile ride. I rode on cycle paths, where possible, avoiding dog shit, horse shit and broken glass left by inconsiderate wankers. When the cycle path disappeared, I went onto the road, thanking my lucky stars it was Sunday morning. All in all it added about 200yds and 20 seconds onto my trip, so much was the inconvenience. Yet it seems like I'm in the minority when it comes to not breaking the law. Guess what? I even stopped at red lights. What also pisses me off is seeing cyclists listening to their I-pods, or whatever. You should have no complaints when you get injured. There is a similar thread on the other forum. It is clear to me that selfish and inconsiderate behaviour is what pisses people off, but why do so many do it?
Daggers Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 There is a similar thread on the other forum. It is clear to me that selfish and inconsiderate behaviour is what pisses people off, but why do so many do it? I do it mainly for the giggle I wasn't really doing the lists seriously mind you, all rather tongue in cheek... If anything bugs me, really bugs me, then I'm with Thracian and you ~ it's rudeness. Nothing twists my nipples more than someone not being polite... Which makes me SO surprised when someone is really nice: I was towing the ankle-biters in the bicycle trailer today, so we would get to 17mph max, and a lady slowed her car to let me get into the right hand lane. I almost fell off because I would never have believed anyone would have let me out.
Nationwider Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 Hmm. I can do grumpy old man... Currently irking me somewhat: Chris Moyles Chris Moyles' 600k p.a. salary The cost of petrol Rubbish in my neighbourhood The fact that all my grass has died Skirting boards Motorway service stations in general My rude next door neighbour Dirty beaches Dog sh*t on paths Having to miss one of my best friend's stag weekend Plasterboard The fact that when I walk into my office, I feel like an anvil has been dropped on my head Humidity and sea fog The neverending roadworks on the M1 around Sheffield Anyone employed by Radio 1, including Chris Moyles My general lack of motivation that means I will fail an exam next week People telling me I will pass an exam next week Being unfit My ankle - it really hurts Sky having all the live cricket The poor quality and short life of vegetables from Asda The fact that it takes sooooo long to move house People dissecting the every last detail of our pre-season campaign My local Weatherspoons has stopped doing its cheapo steak and chips night The fact that too many people go to university to do worthless degrees Andrew Flintoff being unfit Geraint Jones still being England's wicketkeeper Having to miss Sunderland v City in September, and the ensuing piss up Designer clothes Fake designer clothes Missing socks The random fuse box conundrum that causes all our sockets to go caput every other week My missing Aphex Twin CDs Sheila's Wheels adverts

I almost fell off because I would never have believed anyone would have let me out. Go to Leeds and buy and sandwich from Philpotts sandwich shop near Park Place. Apart from making delicious sandwiches, they have the most polite and friendly staff in Britain. I almost feel uneasy every time I leave, I'm so used to being humphed at by surly, spotty oiks in shops.
macbeth Posted 25 July 2006 Author Posted 25 July 2006 people who give advice like; go to shops that are over 250 miles away just to get sandwiches with courtesy slightly annoy me
Guest Posted 25 July 2006 Posted 25 July 2006 Arseholes who take advantage of the fact I don't tailgate other vehicles, causing me to brake sharply enough to cause the tw@ tailgating me to almost go into the back of me. Most people out and about the city this time in the mornining are local, get in the right frigging lane in the first place instead of risking every bugger elses lives so that you can get ahead by one car and a full 1 second. :@
