My pet hate has to be.....

DorsetDude said:
Drivers who cannot turn right properly thus causing bloody great queues of traffic behind them as they sit there on the left side of the road waiting to go right. Ive even seen them deliberately swing in to the left ready to turn right! Read your friggin' highway code people and hug that crown FFS! :bang::bang::bang::bang:

Instead of a drink driving ad campaign at xmas lets have a "how to turn right" series instead.

Its starting to become widespread in other "area's" too. (sports for one)
Personally I don't bother to click the links.

Its the "Banzai" scream just before indicators are used, that bothers me the most :D
 
Ignorant inconsiderate people like the one on Sunday, I had just set my camera up on the tripod at Robin Hoods bay to take a nice reflection shot in a rock pool when a "gentleman" threw his dog a tennis ball into the rock pool :annoyed:
 
People who merrily pootle along in the middle/outside lanes of roads with absolutely no awareness of what's going on around them while you sit behind them looking to overtake (searches for Aaaaaaargh smiley)
 
Drivers of the female persuasion who insist on driving in the outside lane of a dual carriageway because they may be turning right at a roundabout at some time in the next 42 miles.
 
drivers who decide to indicate when 2 yards off their turning.
drivers who can't be bothered to acknowledge you when you let them out of a junction
drivers on the phone

Only way to shift some of them is to drop back and tank up to the back of them aggressively as though you may just barge them out the way. They usually move when they feel you've just taken a run up :) Sitting quietly behind them doesn't seem to do it. Nor sitting slightly to their outside so you can see their face in the mirror.

Or those on a single carriageway that pull into middle of the road to prevent an overtake then try and get you to run into the back of them by pulling out onto a roundabout then stopping for no reason. Some moronic git did that to my dad the other day.

I think the variable speed limit stay in lane when congested systems have led to a serious deterioration in lane discipline. Once south of brum it's chronic. M25 and M40 are awful. Lucky there are enough belligerent Audi and BMW drivers to tailgate them until they move over.

Interesting. I used to post quite a few images from my weddings but there were complaints about some wedding photographers posting too many images so I cut it down a bit. Then some said you don't need to post more than six which was then followed by 'six is too many to critique'. I then cut it down to just a couple (or even one) with a link to my blog which wasn't done for SEO purposes and now the complaints are going the other way!

Guess why I rarely post wedding images these days. :|

OUCH!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

But the women wouldn't do it if they were embarrassed about it ;)
So I don't see how the odd admiring glance, would embarrass them anyway :)

You'll never please everyone, Colin.....but posting a single image and a link is neither sharing or asking for critique imo. I stinks of SEO tactics or a tog simply wanting their ego stroked!!

I guess it depends what is being asked for by the photographer starting the thread. Sharing or asking for critique etc. A single image is fine if asking for in depth critique, but only without a link to a blog/site to the rest of the images.....loads of photos (10, 100, 1000 etc) are fine too, but I can't see many people critiqing them individually when numbers like that are involved.

I've no idea as to how it can be changed, or if it even needs to be (this is only my opinion, and not everyone elses) but I completely ignore a wedding thread, if I know the photographer uses this single photo and a link tactic.

I totally get why you haven't posted any wedding images recently. For different reasons my last lot got a whole 2 comments.....one from my assistant on the day, and a very helpful one from YOU!! :lol: I'm all about ready to throw the towel in sharing my wedding stuff, it's barely worth the effort.....:shake:
 
I feel cheated, I though this was a thread about Pet Hats :(






:p
 
Life in general.
 
It may just be me, but one of my pet hates has to be parents, especially mothers, calling their kids "mate". No no no it just seems wrong.

I do call my son mate at times, but he is in his twenties, and bigger than me.
So it does seem prudent to keep on his right side ;)
Although he still calls me dad,
(to my face at least :D)
 
1. Lack of basic manners. Please & thank you take no time at all to say but are very much appreciated if you work in retail or any other service industry.

2. Litter on the streets. Why can't people find a bin or take it home with them.

3. Drivers & cyclists going through red lights.

I could go on but it would turn into a rant:lol:
 
My pet hate are people spitting while walking along. You know, the ones that walk five metres, spit, then another five metres later . . . spit, five metres on . . . spit, and so on.
For the love of God, if that person doesn't like the taste of their own saliva, go and see a doctor!
 
People who use any dual carriage way or motor way and fail to realise once you overtake someone you should move back into the inside lane instead of sitting in the outer lanes for no reason and overtaking thin air!

Also customers who bring there car into work for a fault that happened once and hasn't done it since and when it did happen was about 4 weeks ago or they have problems with there iPhone/iPod not working correctly but fail to leave it or the connecting lead in the car!
 
People whom when they hear me speak, assume I'm American.
 
Assuming people do my freeking head in.

And the..... Been there done that brigade

Babies drinking tea. I semi hijacked the bah humbug thread with this so as per request started this thread.

Yesterday saw a girl pushing her baby down the street in his push chair with a bottle of tea in his mouth :gag:

Why would you do that? Tea is an acquired taste why would you even need to give it to your child?

That has to be one of my all time pet hates.

I don't see the problem here...and it certainly isn't your problem, so why is it a pet hate?
 
Able people that fill a lift up or wont get out to let me in with my daughter in pram! I end up shouting "cant any of you climb stairs?!" which usually gets a couple out

I take it you know what pet hate means?
 
Where to even begin...

- Loud eaters, especially at the cinema. Oh so I hear you've decided to start crunching your nacho's at the quiet part of the film.. cheers.. cheers for that.
- Facebook statuses like "just smashed it at the gym" or "Having such a good night, I'm so drunk"
- The term "YOLO"
- People who go on their iphone or ipad whilst they're in your company. If you want to play on apps on your phone or chat on facebook instead of spending time with me, go and do it at home and stop wasting my time.
-People who look at you like you killed their child if you say you don't drink alcohol.
- The sound that heels and flip flops make, urrrrgh.
- When someone constantly skips songs instead of listening to them all the way through. "OMG TUUUNE... " *skip* "OMG I LOVE THIS SOOOONG" *skip*
- When people ask you how your meal is when you have a mouth full of food
- When people say "... FACT" or "Just Sayin'" at the end of their really non-controversial sentences.
- People who are obscenely late to everything.
- Really sensitive animal lovers, who can't believe you don't like cats or dogs. "Oh but you'd like my dog, he's a softie" ... no, no I wouldn't like your dog.
- Really sensitive people in general who take everything to heart, kind of like when you tell them your pet hates and they get offended ;)
- The whole "she's got curves, so she's a real woman" rubbish.

.. and so many, many, many more..
