Very polite folks that ask if the seat is taken when it is obvious that nobody is sat there .
When they want to take a spare chair.

So you and your wife/friend are sat at a table with four chairs and waiting for another couple to come back from the counter when I walk up and simply grab a chair without having the manners to ask if it’s being used. Is that ok in toby world ?

I agree, but what’s a wife? :open_mouth:

It’s one o’ them what call the shots, hold the ■■■■■ strings and stand behind the front door in a dressing gown and slippers with their hair in curlers, false teeth out and rolling pin under arm, when the old man gets home from the boozer. That’s how I remember my mum and dad anyway. :laughing: :wink:

That one mate who gets a guilty conscience at club rhino then drunk texts his wife to confess where he is.
Que all the other wags knowing our location and having to leave early.

Every bloody time it’s “right John we are out tonight don’t tell Michelle where we are again”.

I hate it when I’m driving along steadily perving into the passenger seats of passing cars when I’m greeted by a skanky nasty pair of bare feet up on the dash board.
Control your women!!! I would get my pimp hand on my wife if she did that!!! Even worse when it’s men grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

That said, another hate is the idiot in every truck stop who has to talk louder than everyone else and make sure everyone knows how much medication he is on. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Inconsiderate parking, there’s space for 3 cars on a road but you manage to occupy 2 of the spaces because you have no concept as to how long your car is.
Drivers who park up at the side of the road and sit there with the engine running in July because you like the air con to work.

Drivers who chat to the weighbridge operator even though they’ve got their ticket, and are holding up other lorries.

Same with women in the shop who keep chatting to their mate on the checkout when they’ve eventually paid after rummaging in their bag for their ■■■■■ which they’ve buried under the shopping.

Just this morning I had words with some ignorant ■■■■■■■ who couldn’t be bothered to put his little car into a space properly (kerb on his left and plenty of room to the white line on his right). I pulled in beside him and made sure he couldn’t open his door. Down came the window with him moaning how I hadn’t left him enough room to get out and I should move over. I pointed out in my usual calm and polite manner that he should move three fg feet to his left and not fg blame me cos he can’t f*****g drive. He got the point. :smiley:

I used to be envious that you were in sunny Oz, now I’m just bloody grateful! :laughing:

When people don’t merge in turn properly. When everyone does it right it works fine, it’s when you get selfish terwats in the outside lane hammering forward together hoping to all push in front at the merge. I let one in, then stick to him like glue , and ■■■■ the rest :laughing: Totally immature but I believe in not rewarding bad behaviour :laughing:

Ford Transit’s and beaten up Supra type cars are the worst I reckon.

Walking into the bogs at customer premises when desperate to drop the kids off to find a cleaning lady in the process of mopping the floors.

Only for ones bottom to suffer stagefright in the cubicle, then after 5 minutes relaxing and trying to convince ones bowels everything is OK to open the bomb doors the tightest, squeakiest girly ■■■■ gets released much to the amusement of the cleaning lady.
To compound the issue it’s now guaranteed you will have the messiest ring piece twitching poop requiring excessive wipes to clean ones ring and at least 3 flushes. Safe in the knowledge that youl need to wipe your arse again at some point during the day.

Dunno why, but that bl**dy penguin on the British Gas adverts gets on my wick.

Doing someone a good turn and receiving no thanks, a wave or a thumbs up for it :imp:

Actually, it’s quite reasonable to be annoyed by that I reckon

When someone pulls out infront of you and dawdles along.

Drivers who dawdle along, indicate right and then cancel the signal. Then repeat the whole process for at least a mile, getting slower and slower, then indicate left and turn off. :imp:

Radio 2 keep having that namby pamby Barbra Want woman on with Jeremy Whine.

Chaffage.
Especially this weather, me balls are glued to my inner thighs already and if I need to walk more than a 100yards I’m gonna have to get the sudocream out.

Oh and balls that keep dropping, I thought puberty was as low as they where gonna go but now they seem to be nearer me knees than me tallywacker.

People who panic brake and swerve into the kerb when an emergency vehicle is driving towards them. There’s nothing in front of the emergency vehicle yet people think that they’re randomly going to come across their side of the road for no reason. If it was driving towards you with no lights or sirens they wouldn’t bother doing this so what’s so different because it has magical flashy lights.

This ^^^^

Also when people don’t realise that sometimes the best thing to do is not pull over and mount the kerb, but to speed up and get to the next safe pull over point!

I find the emergency services appreciate it more when you speed up, but acknowledge their presence. I had a fire engine up behind me a few weeks back, people were pulling over in daft places making the driver do zig zagging motions. I sped up once out of a 30 limit and floored it to a short stretch of dc, but gave a couple of hazard light flashes to let them know I’d seen them. They passed and waved thanks without swerving about like they’d done previously.

Ploughing matches. How about groundworkers spend their weekends seeing who can dig the best trench or concrete the best footing?

Auto jumbles.

Rude ungrateful charity shop staff who just grunt “leave it there” when you take in bags of stuff for them. Next time it’s going in our skip in the yard and being torched.

Religious groups preaching or thrusting leaflets at you in the street.
