Along similar lines (and you will have to take into account I’m driving on the right) people who are turning left (right in the UK) do a bit of a movement to their right to make the turn.

Anyone would think they were driving an articulated lorry, not a Mini!

Until this morning I’ve managed to avoid the royal coverage. My god what utter drivel. You’d never think you could get so many people talking so much shite for 4 days in a row. They’re now saying they feel like a community member of Balmoral has been lost.
Back to Netflix for me.

Gyles Brandreth has just said live on the BBC, that Charles is “every inch a King”. Hmmm.

What's that in metric, please?

That way madness lies.

These new bottle tops, found on sparkling water. It goes across brands and retailers. There is clearly some factory somewhere bottling for people who have decided that we should cut and mash our fingers when we open and close a bottle.

Attachment 55990

People who stick their arm out for a bus to stop for them a million miles away from the next stop, or attempt to keep it waiting with various bits of semaphore whilst they break out into an amble (esp. in traffic-intensive London)
You're either in the appropriate place ready to board immediately or you're not.

(I hate you Butler, etc, etc)

The sound of people eating crisps. Gives me the rage.

When the airline has overbooked the seats and offered me and the good wifey 1300 USD to take the next one, wife goes no!!!!!
Razor ‘Scrooge’ is not happy as I would have taken the money

Are you a bus driver?

My wife has that issue as well... with me eating crisps she gets the rage and starts slamming doors etc..

People slamming doors

Madness. That will be worth £1500 in a couple of months!

What did you do instead?

Bus drivers ...!

Rain !

Skin on fish .... from the chippy!
Is it good for you should you eat it .... I do ...I don't !

The love for cheese !

Uber eats .... deliveroo electric bike wankers!

Anything with Bromley before it!

They don't follow a single rule of the road.
I also dislike when they come up to your door in wearing a helmet, always suspect.

I tried giving up cheese. Couldn't do it. Was easier for me to give up smoking (and I was on 40 a day). Ended up having cheese related dreams. In the end I cracked.

Things that annoy you
 

This may be an American thing, but people who pronounce “short-lived” with the lived said like live TV would be said with “ed” on the end.

(Hard to put in writing)

The Polish woman who won the U.S open the other day. Just a couple of minutes after she won, instead of walking around and milking the applause of the adoring crowd, she sat down and started texting and reading her phone. The cameras stayed on her for five minutes whilst, instead of consoling her opponent or getting the crowd going on a Sweet Caroline or a knees up, she sat there oblivious to the world, just checking her instagram and her BBS account. Also, she wore a baseball cap that Tone would have loved, which she never once removed from her head. Obviously a nice little earner from the sponsers.

Mrs Statto doesn't like it either, so we always ask for skinless. Takes a bit longer, but at least it's always fresh cooked

I watched it too and thought to myself "FFS tiktok generation"

Or perhaps he's met Les.

Heinz baked beans with sausages .... No not this as a thing ... just that they change the sauce to a much crappier version than the standard bean sauce!

I feel your pain, people eating smelly food at work full stop. This one guy at work it is always curry/fish/spag Bol. I make known my dislike of it and hint to use the tea room but no. He insists on eating at his desk. I really need to get my hands on some durian fruit.

On the same subject, I'm sure I've said this earlier in the thread but people who eat stinky food on trains.


For God's sake not everyone enjoys your taste in food and these days you can't even open the window!

Whilst on the train the other day a girl in front of me took out a plastic food container from her rucksack and removed the lid. The smell of her homemade curry was so pungent, had a match been lit at the time, the whole carriage would have gone up in flames.

I can almost still taste that unwelcome nasal bomb again whilst typing this. :grrr:

Took the plane we were originally booked. Wife is a nervous flyer and she was on calms already so she wanted to fly.
Oh well we are home now

But is your luggage!

Somebody had obviously heated up a fish dinner in the microwave in our kitchen at work. The smell was still lingering 8 hours later when I left.

Where do you live I know a couple of places that sell Durian fruit.

And your $1300

When I used to have to get the Thameslink to work, there was a girl who used to get on at Sutton and eat a full tube of sour cream pringles every day. I had to make sure I got on a different carriage to her.

Well yes indeed, my AM gripe extends to those that make free with the milk provided by the company for their cereal. I'm sure its intended just for a splash in hot beverages throughout the day (if you're lucky)

100% agree. Just shows poor organisation.

It came with me too :)

Little village outside Basingstoke. I will see if I can search some out next time I am up in London.

Used to be available in Chinatown supermarkets.

Look up if there is a Ho Hing supermarket in area, they generally have them. Ther is A Wing Yip on the A23 by Purley way, they also should have Durain.

I am always amazed how populous Wing Yip is.

I guess because it caters for the wider Asian community, not just Chinse.

A recent bill in a restaurant where there was a 4% add on charge for, "Kitchen Administration Fee."
This was totally separate from the regular tip, where you are expected to leave 20%, so that you pick up the slack for the boss who pays the staff below minimum wage.

The tossers who just torched 2 cars in our rear alley way, one exploded taking out my garden gates..... thankfully nothing else went up other than the roof of another neighbours summerhouse.

Wow, sorry to hear that. tossers indeed, that is some serious damage done by the sounds of it

Thanks, they almost ran over a neighbour making their get away, so could have been worse. One vehicle is linked to a stabbing by machete wielding youths apparently. So glad I was unaware of it until I heard the explosion.

British Airways.

I mean FFS.

:D :p

They have seriously gone down. Which is a shame

My ex wife used to work for them. It was a great company and she was so proud to work there. But over the years they started making “economy drives” that pissed off staff in making things difficult. By the time she left she actively hated her work. Now it’s a shadow of its former self with staff with the same attitude as American Airlines. They’re simply do their job.

The use of the word stun when a team scores a goal in a football match. It is the aim of the game!

The amount of cars on the road at the moment. Seems to be mrore than ever, even on the back streets on my walk to the station it's like Piccadilly Circus.

All those credit and leasing firms are going to have plenty on their plate when everyone starts defaulting.

The number of cars on 'C' roads in London doubled between 2009 and 2019 - it's called the Waze effect, and it seems to be continuing. We need to close off more back streets, they should be for pedestrians and cyclists.

Was it for the captain?

Davies Group loss adjusters. Absolute car crash of a company. 8 months to put my kitchen back together following an escape of water claim. I know Trust pilot isn't always the most accurate measuring stick, but the volume of 1 star reviews over the past 6 months tells you all you need to know.

I call that traffic apartheid; who cares about the poorer people who live on higher trafficked main roads if the leafy avenues are kept clear of traffic.

Used to be "The World's Favourite Airline"

Now they are not even Gatwick's favourite airline.

Thornton Heath is unbelievable. Why on earth are most of those back streets not made one way. It really is a no-brainer. When I go back for a visit I can guarantee that each day and night there is a stand-off between drivers, either being too ignorant or too machismo to give way. Every household seems to own two cars. Most of which come with a Handicapped sign; so there is no place to pull in.
You'll find older drivers getting nearly to the end of the road when all of a sudden Billy big bollocks with his drug bought motor flies around the corner and refuses to back up. His intimidation usually works and the poor old couple have to back up to the last turning.

by Thornton Heath, you mean 80% of greater london...

I hate driving in London, just non stop stress and irritation. I do it as little as I can get away with and walk/train/bus wherever possible.

Only 80%? All of Greater London is exactly the same, isn't it? Nose-to-tail traffic.

The inability, nay refusal of Southern trains, to allow time for train connections at Three bridges stupid feckers....

It used to really piss me off when coming back from Brighton that the train to Ifield invariably pulled out as we pulled in, so had to wait 29 mins for the next one

theres some nice quiet big roads around in the likes of leafy Dulwich and such. Not for the common folk though.

Someone from Southwark Council has read that and is ordering the planters as we speak.

One for the FMCDA thread. 73 percent of posts on the Things that annoy you thread are about driving, a further 15 percent are about train companies, the rest are nearly all about other people in general.

While listening to the Spurs Leicester game I was irritated to find out Mullery has a MBE

The Pope was unimpressed, apparently.

My Big Ego

People at the supermarket that abandon their trolleys in parking spaces as they can’t be bothered to push it back to the bay 20 meters away. Lazy fks

And these selfish twats

https://i.postimg.cc/Y9kjZ3t8/6-C3-F...38-C4-E181.jpg

There is no pavement in the other side of the road ��

For me it’s people parking over dropped curbs and people leaving their bins in the middle of the pavement.

That's got to be a nickable offence surely.

Travellers. I have never met such a selfish arrogant bunch of people.

A mate of mine used to walk over cars that had parked.on the pavement.

Add aggressive, antisocial, thieving, liars and you have the perfect description of every single interaction I and my family have had with them .

Yep, aside from one interaction I had with one couple (they returned my wife's lost mobile phone). I'm afraid the only people who constantly defend them don't live anywhere near any sites and never come into any contact with them.

This is an interesting watch.

Pulled up in the car park at the gym in New Addington on thursday. Another car pulls up along side me and a young girl who works at the gym got out.
The woman driving the car had a tub of noodles she was eating in one hand, took a big mouthful and then proceeded to chuck the remaining noodles and container out of her window on to the floor of the car park.
When she saw that I had spotted her, she called me a 'nosey f**king c**t' and drove off.

.

Dogging has changed since I lived in the UK.

its still happening . GGGGGRRRRRRRRR:wallbash:

Yes it is, blocking the highway

Disgusting I say, how dare they

I once saw someone walk over the bonnet of a car that had stopped in traffic across a zebra crossing. :)

Bagpipes. Could a musical instrument sum up the Scot's better. A continuous f**king high pitched whine.

Was it in Maidstone?

Nosey ducking c unts who stars at my bird whilst she's throwing her noodles.

When I lived in the UK, it either didn't exist or was called something else, same with tea bagging :)

Tea bagging is easier in a van in my experience :p

Do bears shit in the woods? Travellers = crime increase. Accusations of being racist if they try and do anything. Law unto themselves. If, as was stated, it’s a minority, why don’t the majority sort them out internally?
They could have interviewed me and I could have told them about quads stolen, car smashed and threatened for not letting a cut up merchant in, rideon lawnmowers being repeatedly stolen every traveller season, so ins company would not longer Insure. They leave the door wide open now and remove everything before, digger stolen with a tracker shown to be in the local site ( the one mentioned in Surrey) police didn’t want to know and gave an insurance form even though full CCTV. Spitting and causing chaos in a local coffee shop and when asked not to threats etc and they simply carried on. Driveways tarmac’s and charged OAP neighbours extortionate money. Loads of shite dumped in parents small plot “coz they could” putting an common turned into a rubbish tip by an invading horde and again abuse from anyone who dared to even look at them.
Delightful group of people.

Sorry. Next time I'll pretend I'm looking elsewhere.

Pavement isn’t part of the Highway, AFAIK

I’m pretty sure they can be nicked, for something, but I don’t think it’s for blocking the highway

Cones in the road outside houses to "reserve" their spot

Couple opposite me do that everyday, i dont care as my drive fits 2 cars. But their neighbours have about 5 vehicles and there's a garage down the road that leaves customers cars there as well. So i kind of get it.

He was an MBE when he was Palace maager. Why, I don't really understand.

Massive bellend eediot?

There are people that do that around Selhurst, either with cones or wheelie bins

I just used to move them back onto the pavement are park as entitled
if needed

problem is then that you risk coming back to your car with a lovely new big scratch down the side...

The new recipe for Quaker Oats breakfast pots. Cheap shite.
