Men who wear out their pockets by putting their spare change straight into them.

how naive of me to think my pocketsses were for putting things in 🙁

People who think it's so wonderully clever and ironic to subtly have a go at themselves on threads like this.

is anyone left ?

Drivers who can't be bothered to indicate.

People who can't leave their mobile phone alone for more than 0.01 seconds.

Local radio.

Anything to do with X-factor/ballroom/skating/got talent nonsense.

R&B / soul / motown /urban music.

What has the makings of a good film being right royally ruined by being given the Hollywood Blockbuster touch.

Bad punctuation and grammar, especially misuse of the apostrophe.

People who take threads like this far too seriously.

Men who choose the middle of 3 urinals when one (and only one) of the end ones is in use.

Public disorder (covers chav children in supermarkets to bar brawls)
Cliques
Sanctimonious hypocritical religious types
People who wear brown shoes and or belts with black suits
People who think I will know how to do some inane task in Word because I work 'in computers'
People who don't respect their partners as equals

Phew. There's nothing like a good moan on a Friday 🙂

There is no logic to selecting a urinal!

Men who undo their belt and completely open their trousers to take a slash in the urinals 😐

Status updates on Facebook.

That reminds me of another one:

People who put photos of their kid(s) as their profile photo on Facebook.
WTF!?!

Does having children mean you cease to exist as an individual in your own right?

(I'm a proud parent too, btw!)

The mindless idiots who buy their lunch at tescos when theres a local sandwich shop about 100 yards away.

People who assume that just because a shop is local and independant they must be good and automatically deserve your custom.

If you've ever tried to use a pram on a high street you'd understand why.

People who cough and sneeze all over the place.
Men in pink jumpers or shirts or who have manicures.
People at work who can't dress for winter and expect to have the heating on tropical while they continue to wear short sleeves and bare legs.
People who won't use the filter exit lanes on roundabouts and end up queueing out into the roundabout.

Loads more, but those will do for a start. I'm generally grumpy and feeling predjudiced at the moment though 'cos I'm ill 🙁

"EDIT: Whilst we're at it, people who irrationally hate Prius drivers. Sure there are probably some people who think they're holier than thou, but what if you just want a big low emissions car? Don't be such dicks."

They aren't any more Eco friendly than one of the new Eco diesels by vauxhall or ford, they're ugly, slow, drive like crap and expensive.
Plus they aren't even a "big" car! Boot is very shallow, you'd struggle to get 2 peoples luggage in the boot for a week away.

twohats - It's irrelevant whether or not i've pushed a pram in the high street! The fact is, I go out my way to avoid pram pushers but still somehow manage to get clattered. Surely I have as much right as the pram pusher to be there?! They should be willing to move out the way of people as well, instead of bashing into them!

which can move easiest you on your own or a person with a pram? If you cannot do this thought excercise replace pram with shopping trolley.

intolerance and this is all this thread is.

Yes there is, unfortunately the algorithm breaks down when there are an even number of urinals.

People who won't re-cycle, even though they have several waste bins provided.
People who buy beautiful, old character properties, do them up by over modernising them, stripping them of all the origional features to get a quick sale.
Male drivers who have no patience when I'm in the car looking for a house number in the dark.

People that come to my door to preach their religion.

Had one come around the other day to say "do you have any interest in mankind's future".

Well as I am part of the niche group, of course I do you ****ing moron, but I don't think it's reliant on any religion.

"Only if youre selective about what you read. I am yet to be convinced that any of the defenders of the Prius have accounted for the embedded energy (specifically due to the nickel) "

The materials for the battery are only a small part of the total energy required to make the car. And the total energy required to make the car is only a small part of the energy it will consume over its lifetime.

I know this because I spent 5 minutes on Google.

I don't think that follows, surely there are niche groups uninterested in mankind's future ? Particularly most of the religions who already have it planned out.

Just mutter "see you next tuesday" back at them and see how long you can get away with it for.

People who advertise "original features" as though they are a good thing. No, I want double glazing, not ancient sash windows.

People with a chip on their shoulder because they didn't go to Uni.

People who throw cigarette ends on the floor.

People who think getting drunk every Friday and Saturday is an acceptable "hobby".

People who assume that because something is more expensive it is better.

Left wingers (political)

Football fans who don't play themselves.

Fat people.

Sure there's more...

Postmen who strike?

1.coucils that expect you to wash, sort and recycle various items into several ****in bins of differing colours all made from a non-recyclable plastic. In addition since when does the public have to act as a materials recovery facilty, that's what the multi-million pound sites do and recycling makes **** all difference, seeing as most of it is shipped overseas for reprocessing giving rise to even more bloomin carbon emissions.

2.Folks that believe enviro-hype from political groups

Drunken people.

Male grooming - give me a break, can't be bothered to waste time and money on that rubbish.

Overly made up women - scrape it off and get on with it, you can't be that bad underneath.

All the Cardiff players are wearing pink tonight in the rugby, and they look rather manly. I still give it the swerve though.

Usually followed by "Err...".

Whining religious numpties going on about being offended. So you're offended. What do you want me to do about it, as if I'm interested.
