O/T Liittle things that irritate the hell out of you

Re: Re: O/T Liittle things that irritate the hell out of you

Agree in theory, but as a cyclist and a driver, I would rather be walking and hit by a cyclist than cycling and hit by a car.

Cars have no respect for cyclists. Maybe I am the same when I am driving.

Don't get me started on cyclists!!

I hate people that whistle all the time.
We've got one at work here, he's in a different department but he still annoys the f*** out of me.

Actually you've said that before and I can see your point but only so far. There's a couple of things.

A cyclist runs into you and injures you, do they have any insurance ? Sopposing you're self employed and are incapacitated, who pays your bills ?

Have you done much work in Central London ? If you have then surely you'd agree that the coduct of the manu Cycle Couuriers beggers belief, they think that no traffic signals apply to them.

Sorry but if you don't feel safe on the road the get off and walk, you don't have the right to put pedestrians in danger (not that I'm saying you yourself do but there are younger cyclists who aren't so careful) anymore than a motorist has the right to mow you down.

Bad parenting.

for example:

It's not difficult to enforce a code of conduct upon children when they're eating out in public. Stay seated at the table, quietly until you're told you can leave.

If they want to run around and make lots of noise, take them to the park.

Mainly mobile phone related for me;

"I'm on the train....hello?...hello?....yeah, I'M ON THE TRAIN....no, we're just going through a tunnel....I said I'm on the train...hello?" ad nauseum.

People who use their mobiles to 'phone OUT while watching a film (this happens particularly frequently at the Streatham Odeon, don't go there!) are even more annoying than those who forget to switch them off and get incoming calls.

Six people sitting in a pub. All six of them on the mobile, either 'phoning or texting people who are not at the pub. They are not talking to each other. This is something else I've seen more than once. Why did they bother meeting up in the first place?

As is fairly clear I don't like mobiles! Also soap operas - all of them. They're banned in my house!

Yes I think this conversation has been covered. And I can see your point too.

I suppose it is selfishness on my part, I probably would rather ride on the pavement to get where I am going quicker, especially if I am heavy traffic.

My brakes don't work anyway! Perhaps I'd better get some insurance!!

I have a number that bother me but others wouldn't notice. Things like cyclists riding on the pavement

I wouldn't advise a trip to Japan then!

i hate it when your in the shop, walking along the aisle, then you get stuck behind this really slow person, when you try to walk round them theres only the gap there because of a post or something, or when people just stop right in front of you without any warning.

I hate it when i'm riding my bike on the road and the car just pulls right out in front of you, it's like your invisible to them, or when your walking on the pavement and a cyclist is on the pavement, they shouldn't be there, yet they just force there way through, and give you (the person that should be on the pavement) a dirty look.



now i've wound myself up, and that annoys me.

Why did i ever reply to this thread?

 

[crasher]

People who eat on the train.

Every time I get on at Victoria some moron next to me gets out an entire fecking picnic - sandwich, crisps, bun, bottle of coke what have you.

Then as soon as they've finished they get off at Croydon. COULD YOU NOT WAIT HALF AN HOUR TO FILL YOUR FECKING FACE YOU FAT FECKING JABBA.

kids kicking the back of my chair at football/cinema/bus....

Uh-oh, you weren't in the cinema in Uckfield in about 1971 were you? If so, I'm sorry...

 

[MRRF 10]

oh yeah, and people who eat loudly with there mouth open, and who really gulp down their drink.

and bhaexpress for starting this thread

What annyoy's me at work is when i'm listen to music with my headphones on someone comes up to me and starts talking even before i can pause the cd, its obvious that i'm not going to be able to hear them and they can see i have got head phones on, grrrrrrrr!

 

[bhaexpress]

Actually that reminds me of something that seems to be an American trait. I will be on the phone to somebody there and people over there will interupt them even when they can see the person I'm taliking is on the phone.

Damn that pisses me off.

 

[BrightonBird]

what really annoys me is people who annoy me.

 

[bhaexpress]

That's very Dwaynist.

 

[BrightonBird]

That's very Dwaynist.

The cheek!

 

[Gotsmanov]

Any written articles that haven't been proof-read. Surely it's part of the journalist's job to read through his work before sending it off to print.

Oh, and damp spoons in the sugar pot.

I Agree with Reliant, people in my way in churchill square, I walk really fast so people walk like a fuckin snail in front of me !

Now you've set me off!

-When you have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're just browsing.

-When you have to try on a pair of sunglasses with that stupid little plastic thing in the middle of them.

-The person behind you in the supermarket runs his cart into the back of your ankle.

-The lift stops on every floor and nobody gets on.

-When you slice your tongue licking an envelope.

-A station comes in brilliantly when you're standing near the radio, but buzzes, drifts and spits every time you move away.

-There are always one or two ice cubes that won't pop out of the tray.

-The radio station doesn't tell you who sang that song.

-You can't look up the correct spelling of a word in the dictionary because you don't know how to spell it.

-You had that pen in your hand only a second ago and now you can't find it.

-You reach under the table to pick something off the floor and smash your head on the way up.

TO NAME BUT A FEW!

-The radio station doesn't tell you who sang that song.

Did you know about that servies where you get your mobile phone and ring 2580, hold the phone up to the speaker for about 30 seconds and they will end the call, within a minute they text you back telling you what the song is!! I think it cost about 25p so you don't want to be doing it all the time but does help if you've been after a song for ages and you don't know what it is.

i never actually knew that!! genius!!
