Yes
I have been REALLY annoyed about this for years but never told anyone about it, it probably seems really stupid but I fume when I'm watching the news and Blair or Cameron are spouting utter tripe on the floor in the commons and behind them you have the head nodders, they nod in agreement to every point made, even when they have been asleep for the previous 10 minutes and dont have a clue about what is being said:bang:

is it just me....what really ticks you off?
 
It's just you who watch BBC Parliament 24x7. :)

Many things tick me off.

1) Drivers who sit on the fast lane even though the inner lane is empty

2) People blowing their nose in public into their handkerchief and then putting it in their pocket. Take it out in a few minutes and do it again. *yuck*!

3) People who litter on the streets.

4) People who answer phone calls during a meeting.

5) People talking when the film is on in the cinema.

6) ... lots more...
 
Well, I have an extensive list, think I'm turning into a Victor Meldrew in my old age :D but my main gripe is....

:bat:

Idiots who can't drive :bang:

I'd post more but I don't think this server could cope with it :thumbs:

At some time or another - all of the above! I'm either getting more chilled out or passed caring now.
 
1) people who make lists of the things that tick them off cause they are so 'special' themselves ;) :exit:
 
The workers in the office above banging constantly.

:bang: :bang: :bonk: :bonk: Thats what my head feels like.

Ha, ha, ha, life is really just too short too complain imo. Not too many things bother me to be honest. The only thing I can say that REALLY bothers me is people who don't live in the moment, and 'really' enjoy life. :D

Cheesy yeah, but true! :)

I agree with the others on your list :thumbs:

Just not sure about that one...What else are they supposed to do....a footballer 'snottie' onto the ground? :nuts: :shrug:
 
I'll possibly alienate myself here a little but needs must

1) People who drive 4x4's and have obviously never seen mud in their entire lives. They drive them because it makes them feel safer, shame about the pedestrians they'd KILL if they hit someone. This isn't forgetting of course how non Venomator friendly they are. (I'd highlight Venomator in green but I can't work out which one green is - damn colour blindness!)

2) People who talk on their mobiles whilst driving without a handsfree kit. Duh! Idiots the lot of them. Let the bloody thing ring, pull over and call them back. It's only a phone call.

Aaaahh that feels better. Back to work now *sigh*

1) LOAD of C*ap!!!

Another idiot with no real facts and or proof. Many 4x4's do better mpg than large family cars (mine does 30mpg +) and hitting anyone with ANY car can cause death. As for green. Which is easier and cheaper to recycle? a car full of batteries or a old landrover. Green is much more than how many MPG or what emmissions a vehicle has.

My pet hate: People jumping on the bandwagons created by the press to steer sheep in the same direction.

Now go get your own life and get off the band wagon!

I don't want to see any more posts like this!!

You can express your disagreement with the other person's point of view without resorting to name -calling.... hopefully? :suspect:
 
Please delete my membership and all posts. It appears that it is ok for one member to call another a Killer but not for any defense.

30mpg+ woohoo!

So 50 mpg is nothing to aspire too with a normal engine then? And as for 4x4's with immaculate paintwork and a nice set of pedestrian friendly bullbars going round Sainsbury's, is that justfied?

I agree 4x4 is a large label and there are some excellent models out there but anyone wanting to drive a 3+ litre behemoth to pick up Tarquin from ballet practice is just plain :cuckoo: IMO

I don't see where anyone called you a killer?

We don't delete memberships - you either choose to post or you don't. :shrug:

We don't like losing anyone here, but we do expect a certain level of civility. If on reflection you're still happy with your post, then we do have a problem. If you think you perhaps could have made your point a little less offensively, then I suggest you settle your differences with the original poster, forget it and move foreward. ;)
 
OK please provide information of any vehicle that is capable of 50mpg and has the ability to two a 2 tonne trailer. Each vehicle fits a need.

I presume you also think any car that is capable of over 70mph is also not green? afterall, why the extra power if it does not need it?
 
CT

Please delete the membership as requested. I have no interest in a forum that has biased moderators
 
I'm not biased. There's only one person here who made an offensive post aimed directly at a member and that's you mate.

We don't delete memberships. If you really feel that way - don't post. :shrug:
 
hmm - vitriol, over-reaction and a touch of provocation from a few members. Come on people, we can do better than this (even if Janice drags me into the gutter occasionally.

I don't think CT was biased at all

Cheeriness and happiness all round :)
 
Please don't take this personally. I don't want to see anyone remove themself from a forum that is supposed to bring people together about a common interest, over a silly off the subject thread.

By the title this was on things that tick individuals off. By the nature of your replies it seems that my views on certain modes of transport have struck a raw nerve. I meant no offence to any indivdual by anything I posted, it was meerly a personal opinion under the thread heading. Having no need for a 4x4 (I have a 7 month pregnant wife - so may need one to cart her to hospital!) and a family that has been active in nature conservation for 40+ years, I have formulated my opinions on my experiences in life. Yes 4x4's do serve a purpose and will very efficiently cart exceptional loads to exceptional places. My gripe is purely with the members of the Great British public who do not use them as such.

Please let's just forget about this and all just TALK PHOTOGRAPHY. :hug:
 
I'm sorry that I started this one now, perhaps from here on in it can be ammended to THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY.

I'll start it off,.... it looks like we have a pair of blue tits looking to nest in one of my bird boxes...that makes me happy.

anyone else?
 
I'm still alive, thats enough for me.
 
You can burn my house
You can cut my hair
You can make me wrestle naked
With a grizzly bear

You can poison my cat
Baby I don't care
But if you talk in the movies
I'll kill you right there
(alice cooper)

Nothing really ticks me off anymore, life really is too short.
 
I don't think CT is biased at all. He's on the money.

Sorry The_old_man but regardless of the post that caused your response, your post was directly offensive towards another member, and that's against the rules.

Ceege merely generalised about something that ticks him off. Where that generalisation comes from is fine to debate, but to insult someone for their thoughts isn't really cricket.

As they say, feel free to criticise, but criticise the thought, not the thinker.
 
Old people in Nissan Micras, well generally anybody in a Nissan Micra but old people especially tick me off!
