Unreasonable annoyances [Merged]

Elderly coach passengers also block doorways at the motorway services like they have all the time in the world to talk .
If I am a loo stop, get out of my way, I am coming through .

Car drivers who pull into a empty lay bye & park in the middle making it awkward for wagons to get in.

People who just HAVE to stop at the entrance door to Asda and check their reciept/change/button up Tarquins coat. Especially the ones who do it with their trolley there as well. At 5pm. On a busy Saturday.
Apparently the huge foyer area where they could do all this without inconveniencing anyone is not good enough. The best place is obviously right in the door way so you block peoples way and create a jam before sauntering off blissfully unaware of the carnage they have caused.

Pretty sure we’ve had that one already mate! :smiley:

Im pretty sure as well but its SOOOOOOOOOO [zb] annoying it deserves another mention!

I’ll give you that! :smiley:
The bit that gets me is that they’re completely oblivious to what they’re doing! :open_mouth:

Escalators.

Looking like Mrs Doyle from Father Ted on the window ledge whilst trying to aim for a step, then finding yourself on the edge of the step and nearly going arse over ■■■.

Reaching the end of the escalator and doing some weird dance by lifting ones leg in the air to avoid the jaws of doom that will ■■■■ you under.

People who after dismounting the escalator just stand there blocking the exit not sure which way to turn or how to use their legs now the ground has stopped moving.

People who walk and even run on escalators, you’ve made your choice just stand still you daft buggers or next time take the stairs, how much of a rush can you be in.

People who standstill on escalators when I’m in a rush.

Kids who think it’s clever to run in the opposite direction up escalators, look we’ve been doing this since the bloody things where invented it’s now no longer amusing, do it towards me and I will trip you up.

Fat folk on escalators who can’t see their feet and end up falling over on dismount, quite funny to be fair.

Morris dancers at village fetes, what the chuffing hell is all that about, grown men with beards dancing like 12 year old girls ,white clothing, wooden pole banging, bells on their ankles .

Not sure if I’ve said it already but happened again today so here we go again
People who slow to 24 mph going through a speed camera ‘just in case’
These people clearly don’t understand simple mathematics and how speed is calculated.

^^^^ Also people who are clearly under the speed limit and still manage to brake when the approach the white painted lines where a camera used to be but plainly has been removed. :imp: :imp: :imp:

And yogurt pots that are a different radius to that of my spoons. I’ve paid for all of the yogurt in the pot and it’s not unreasonable to expect to be able to spoon it all out instead of having to throw some away. Also don’t understand why my wife refuses to lick the lid, wasting even more.

Use a McDs straw to get every bit of yoghurt out of the pot. It’s very satisfying looking into a pot with no trace of yoghurt.

Car drivers on the motorway that brake when they see a Dvsa vehicle in the authorised vehicle only parking by the hard shoulder, if their eyes are so bad, that they do not know the difference between a police car and a Dvsa vehicle, are they safe to be on the road ?
Car drivers that once again haul anchors when they see a Highways vehicle on top of the bridge or in the hard shoulder .
Average speed cameras and the road works,where you get motorists who refuse to move over to let people pass them while they plod on oblivious to the carnage behind
them .

Criticise or ridicule them and someone will tell you it’s an ancient tradition. Just like burning religious people at the stake, standing in the stocks and public hangings. Why have these entertaining pastimes been axed, leaving behind a bunch of half cut parish councillors and retired people waving hankies in the air?

Parents who take their “little darlin’s” into shops with their scooters, and then let them loose to cause havoc racing up and down the isles like it’s their own little private race track. And IF you DARE to even get in their way, little Damian glares at you as if you’re the one that’s in the wrong! :open_mouth: But you’re wasting your time even attempting to speak to the parents, as their vocabulary consists exclusively of expletives, and before you know it, you’re resisting the urge to stab them in the throat with a rusty fork! :imp:

Or is that just me? :smiley:

Olympic “star” Tom Daily. How many golds has he won exactly?
Too much olympic coverage for christs’ sake most sports are more like hobbies. What next, mens’ class 1 diesel tank polishing?

I’ll think you’ll find Tom is an excellent diver and will win us another gold, or perhaps a silver. Well anyway whatever he’s amazing and he is guaranteed to get a medal…oh hang on he came last.

Apparently in my 13 yr old daughters eyes in homophobic for saying he’s crap[emoji15]

Water Polo! - WTF is that all about? :open_mouth:

A bunch of chubby hairy blokes in silly hats floundering about in a pool swimming in mass from one end to the other, and then playing piggy in the middle for 30 seconds with the ball, while all the other team mates have a ■■■■■ fight with their opposing marker… :unamused:

you may have noticed that this years Olympic irish water polo team had to withdraw during the 1st game as 4 of the horsed drowned in the 1st few mins… :slight_smile:

Dear Points of View

Why why why why why have you been running Eastenders for so many years (please note that it’s a fictional place that you yourselves have created) but now you’ve decided to show an aerial shot of it, and it’s round.

Please explain why it’s called Albert Square!

Yours faithfully

Exam results in the news. Sick of seeing pictures in the paper and footage on tv of kids opening envelopes and jumping about. I don’t give a ■■■■ if someone got the grades to enable them to study leisure and tourism, or sports science. Other useless courses are available.

Muckaway , you beat me to it, as I was going to say about pages and pages of jumping students who got good grades, published in the papers, local and national .
Another annoyance is more photos in the paper of a school prom , with photos of them all dressed up and arriving on a tractor or classic car.
Prom is an American thing, so why has it caught on here ?
The media reports on how good the pass rate is for school exams, but it would be as since the internet, you can research the subject.And copy quotes off it.
Old timers had to revise the old fashioned way by reading books .

Further to the above post., all americanisms that are creeping in over here
School prom. No its not, its the school dance
the Mall. No, its the shopping centre
Gas pedal. No, its the accelerator

Trying to watch Sons Of Anarchy and not to get annoyed at Katy Sagals voice. It goes from low to whispering and back again all the time. Very infuriating.
