People coughing away in public without their hand over their mouth.:shake:

Dog doo on pavement. (guess that could be any kind of do, as I don't study them to ensure they originate from dogs).:puke:

Apples marketing. (yep, I know it has done very well, doesn't mean I have to like it):thumbsdown:

Product fan boys.

Big Brother :suspect:

Being too busy to take shots :'(

..........
 
Noisy eaters

Using a handheld phone while driving

People who fail to take any responsibility for their own actions

(I blame the(ir) parents for all of the above:bang:)

Hello kel.

Ignore these muppets, then again, maybe they are right..............:thinking:

Who knows, who cares. I could list my pet hates, but fear the server may not be able to cope and ,subsequently crash, that would be the nemesis for all these good folk enjoying themselves on this fair forum.

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!

What's worse some stupid middle class idiot has done some research claiming spitting should not be discouraged as it alienates poor white men as it is some freedom of expression thing! Utter rubbish. It is a filthy habit indulged in by those that need a good thorough cleaning with some hot soapy water and some manners.

I'm going to add gum chewing as well. If you want to look like a slack jawed moron, chew gum. If you have halitosis see the dentist or crunch a mint. Don't stand there chewing like a ruminant giving the impression you have the intellectual capacity of same. It is not flattering. Some 50s actors may have got away with it but that was a long time ago when people weren't sophisticated.

Did I mention intolerance as a pet hate :D

It really amuses me (and disgusts me) when a fella spits in front of you as you're walking, and THEN turns around to give you a little wink or to look you up and down as if they've really impressed you or you'd be in some way attracted to them now... :|

Hahahahahaha!!!! With you on that!!! Ask everyone's opinion and then never bother to revisit the thread!
 
People who wait for you to suggest a date for doing something and then as soon as you do they know within about 14 seconds that they "cant do" that date and immediately come up with their own new date! Why not frickin mention that date last week then you ****! :annoyed:
 
90 posts (ish) and no-one has mentioned those car drivers who do not realise that there is a something on one side of the steering wheel that you flick up or down to indicate and let people know that you are turning. Many a time I have approached a roundabout - car coming on my right - so has right of way and, blow me down, it carries straight on.
 
People
  • who stop in doorways to chat, or check through bags etc
  • who queue to go through the open door of a double door, rather than pulling other other one open
  • who seem to repeatedly swerve in your way as you walk along the street as they walk that tiny bit slower than you

Story - Standing outside IKEA one cold Sunday morning waiting for the doors to open.

IKEA person comes to unlock the double doors but before he can open the second one people start to crowd through the first door (stopping the second one opening outwards).

It takes a couple of minutes for the crowd to abate so he can open the second door.

I smile at him and ask "do they always do that" - "every time" he said :cuckoo:

D
 
Haha! It's done my head in for years. Whether it be college kids, more mature uni students, various work environments or shops etc :D


Another pet hate

I think someone should just start a thread about this sort of claim and keep it as a sticky. When ever anyone does something unconventional/Victorian, this kind of comment gets thrown into the mix :D
 
Being a fella one of mine is a toilet seat/lid that will not stay up......especially when it is urgent !!
 
My pet peeve.........

TV and radio presenters who have no idea how to interview. For example

-Asking long winded multiple questions that enable the interviewee to either choose which question to answer or get confused by trying to answer all questions at one go

-Asking a perfectly reasonable open question then immediately following it up with a closed question. The result is that the interviewee just answers the closed question,
eg "what do you think about blah, blah blah? Do you think it should stop?"

-Asking an open question followed immediately by leading questions that steer the interviewee down one of two alternative, pre-defined answer paths,
eg "what do you think about blah, blah, blah? Is it because of blah, blah, blah or is it because of blah, blah blah?"

and the BBC are the worst. Listen out and see if I'm right :D
 
  • When the little tab on the seal of a new plastic bottle of milk breaks before you can peel it off.
  • How flour always leaks from the bag, even when the bag is inside a cardboard packet (i.e. cornflour)
  • Bits of coffee in the sugar jar
  • When you go into a shop and the staff suddenly start sorting the shelf right next to where you are browsing.
  • How those who give the least, take the most and always get away with it
  • Dead man's click
  • Nailing a fantastic timeless and never to be had again shot in the glorious setting sun only to realise you are still on ISO25600

Loo roll will sort that out. If you all have so little control over your, um, equipment, surely you're going to need some loo roll irrespective of whether the seat is up or down lmao.
 
Kids running around in restaurants
Drivers that don't say thankyou when i've let them in on the M62 car park

I feel your pain! What, with one hand keeping the "tube" straight and the other keeping the end dry, what's a man to do?
 
Im pretty easy going and try not to get wound up by muppets but one thing I do hate is drivers who tailgate:bang:

Annoying for sure, espcially this time of year!
 
Oh so, so many!

People who can't be bothered to even to say hello and goodbye at checkouts
Checkout staff who can't stop wittering with whoever for 2 minutes to serve a customer
Townies in the countryside
People who ask strange random questions of strangers
Customers moaning about paying 5p (that goes to charity anyway) for a carrier bag. It's been law for over a year. get used to it or it's 90 miles to the border. Your choice!
People who moan about the price of something in a convenience store, whilst insisting on shopping at 10PM.
Slow drivers who won't get out of the way when ample opportunity is available.
People who playfully ask why I haven't asked for their ID when buying alcohol. You're 45 and your tits are round your ankles. You don't need ID. There is no way to be polite about this.
Customers who tell me to have a nice day as they leave the shop. Fat chance of that, I'm working in a shop!
The photography world's reliance on Adobe photoshop.

I'm going to stop now before I blow something :lol: I think that's enough to be getting on with anyway!
 
photographers who actually believe they "took" a great shot,even though they spent hours manipulating their perfect "shot" in photo-chop.
 
Mr Jones, the knee warmer part of your post really did make me LOL!

Another one of mine is the followers, when suddenly another car appears and sticks with you for miles irrespective of variations in speed, never understood what that is all about, maybe they just need someone to guide them :shrug:
 
people on the train in the morning who insist on sticking their bags between their feet rather than in an empty luggage rack, thus taking up my feet room as well. Then getting all alpha-male when i ask them to shift it (try it again tomorrow mate and youre getting a knuckle sandwhich)

People who walk down crowded pavements with their heads stuck in a book / paper / ipad

People walking down crowded pavements with golf umbrellas's. Umbrellas seem to be the pedestrian version of the 4x4's penis substitution

God i hate working in london!

Add to that those that meet friends on a crowded footpath and and force pedestrians to walk around them while they catch up on the news!

ha! reminds me of a woman on a london bus, with something like a cello on the next seat.
the bus was packed for the first ten minutes I was on it and no-one said anything about it and just stood , then someone decided to argue their right to the seat they'd paid for .... that was a fun half hour journey :lol:
