My current gripe..

[Murray 17]

People who say, "pre-prepared".

 

[BBassic]

"For all intensive purposes"

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Physical activity participants carrying a bottle of water shaped like a small bedpan with finger indentations on it. What is wrong with a bog standard bottle?

 

[Easy 10]

Mini roundabouts at t-junctions, giving right of way to traffic coming from a minor road to join the main road.

Completely and utterly POINTLESS and RIDICULOUS. They just cause problems where once there were none. Middle Road in Shoreham being a prime example with about three of the twunts.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

My current gripe.

When someone phones my mobile and leaves a voicemail asking me to call them back on their mobile, nothing wrong with that of course but what some people do is NOT use their mobile to ring me but ring from a landline at their work or a withheld number and rattle off their mobile number on the voicemail at 100mph asking me to call them.

FFS if they just texted me or used their mobile to call me I would have their number on my logs, instead I have to listen to the voicemail about 3 times to try and get their mobile number they have asked me to call them back on.

People who pronounce the letter H as 'haych' is definately my current one.

Shit loads of people who say 'of' instead of 'have' on social media etc. Does my nut in.

'Were' instead of 'we'll' too

were loose

Just thought of another one my gripes.

Knights of the bloody road, you get them in every town who think it's okay to just stop in the middle of the road, just to give way to some gimp, when they can wait normally for a gap in the traffic.


And relax

 

[Gabbafella]

People who use the word 'texted' instead of 'text'.
I'm not sure which is right, but in my mind they're wrong.

 

[Gabbafella]

Also, people who would rather sniff or snort nose oysters instead of just blowing their damned nose!

 

[BLOCK F]

People who say 'can I GET an Americano ' or whatever when they are in a coffee shop.
What is wrong with Please may I have?
Secondly, wannabe petitioners on social media trying to drum up dumb-arsed knee-jerk support for some perceived, but non existent outrage in society.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Roundabouts being topical, that one at Patcham for example heading A23 off to A27 where you swing around the bend and up the hill. There is a filter lane for westbound traffic but every other car comes to a halt in that lane looking right to give way.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

People who butt in to conversations, "Oh yeah, I know what you mean" instead of waiting for a pause or gap.
It's really infuriating, especially when one example is soon to be a relative

Ha ha .... if that worked!

 

[Albion my Albion]

Ha ha .... if that worked!

Oh yeah, I know what you mean.........

 

[tinycowboy]

My current gripe is being woken up by my alarm clock on a Bank Holiday Monday.

 

[pasty]

People walking around with their entire focus on their mobile instead of looking where they're going. The most common habitat for these people appears to be Victoria station concourse during rush hour.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Ending a conversation with see you soon, when you know bloody well that chances are you'll never see them again

TV presenters finishing with 'See you tomorrow'

No you won't, I will see you but you will see a camera pointing at you grrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Mr Banana]

Ending a conversation with see you soon, when you know bloody well that chances are you'll never see them again

"Speak soon". What about? We're speaking now, aren't we? Is something imminent which you aren't mentioning and I'm not aware of? We're managing fine through lovely, comfortable email, why "speak"? Do you mean "soon"? If not, what's a rough timescale?

I think it's just a thing that aspirationally busy, imprecise types say but it still feels like an anxietal minefield.

 

[dazzer6666]

People in tight spaces (trains mostly) that don't take their rucksacks off, and have no spatial awareness.

Spinning round crashing into everyone ****s

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

People that say "I'm going to give it 110%", you can't do that, you can "give it 100%"

 

[GloryDays]

People throwing litter on the floor.
