Right, people who should be executed without trial, for the general good of humanity.
Those who:
Say that they 'speak as they find' and somehow expect a prize for it.
Non disabled people who park in disabled parking bays.
Play music in public on mobile phones.
Put their feet on seats whilst using public transport.
Use the phrase 'I'm not racist, but'.
Like Frankie Boyle.
Don't indicate at roundabouts or junctions.
Play with phones when you're trying to talk to them.
Say that Margaret Thatcher was ok because she was a 'Strong woman'.
Working class Tories.
Joey Barton.
Ask 'what colour bike parts should I buy?'
Are proud that they haven't read a book since they left school.
Speak to the person pushing a wheelchair, rather than the person in it.
Hang bags full of dog eggs from trees or railings.
Don't join a union but happily accept the associated pay rises and benefits.
Call themselves vegetarians but still eat fish.
Any more?
End sentences that aren't questions with a rising inflection
Say "like" when they don't mean "similar to" or aren't expressing satisfaction
Say or write "either" when they actually mean "both"
Anyone who isn't me, but especially Allan Carr at the moment.
Totally agree with all yours, Rusty Spanner!
- people who say somethink ( except my wife, i blame it on the kids she teaches)
- people who overtake cyclists then turn right or whack on the brakes because theres a queue of cars righht in front of them that they failed to see ( or did see but were too much of a bellend to wait)
- people who try to overtake every last effing car so they can squeeze onto a motorway exit at the last moment
There's not going to be many of us left after, what will come to be known as 'Rusty's Day'. 😀
Agree with all apart from the fish eating veggies (just don't care!). And especially with those who, "speak as they find". On a par with those who say, of themselves, that they "don't suffer fools gladly". Almost without exception, anyone who has ever said this to me has been a massive fool.
RS - I've hit four on that list. Sorry. Having said that I've gone off Frankie Boyle after his dismal TV show.
Anyone who talks about how pissed they were as if it was a boast or somehow amusing to the listener. B.E.L.L.E.N.D.
Litterists
*puts hand up for some of those and goes and fetches a noose for the start of rusty's great cultural cleansing* 🙁
tthew, but just think of the benefit to society!
*sharpens sword, stalks 'deluded'.*
I forgot to include people who tuck trackie bottoms into socks and those who don't know the difference beetween 'lend' and 'borrow'.
Sorry.
and those who don't know the difference between 'lend' and 'borrow'.
And those that don't know the difference between bring and take......
EDIT and the difference between lay and lie
Today I heard "can I get 20 B&H silver" FFS.
Those who indulge in the new national sport of red light ignoring. Not jumping. IGNORING.
End sentences that aren't questions with a rising inflection
yes to this!
+1 for "can I get"
Folk who don't say thank you when you hold a door open for them. And pretty much everyone else actually.
[i]End sentences that aren't questions with a rising inflection [/i]
That will be the entire population of Australia and anyone who has been "travelling" there.
people who throw litter out of cars. especially when it nearly hits me. makes me quite cross 😆
edited because i cannot read. idiot. carry on.
Derek, that's disgusting.
B&H silver taste awful.
My 30 & 28 year old step daughters both say 'can I get?'
Sadly slapping adults in public isn't allowed these days.
Whoop i'm on a list, i like Frankie Boyle
I don't like 'Can I get' but just find myself saying it. Can I get a rewind and say have?
People who say something is a "no brainer", when what they mean is they are too stupid to consider any other opinion themselves.
Anyone who pronounces the plural of text as "texes"
You are on the list for the lower case i Houns. In fact you do it twice so there is no salvation for you.
That will be the entire population of Australia and anyone who has been "travelling" there.
and alot of people who think they're cool or whatever to talk like that.****ing annoying as ****.
People who talk in cinemas.
People who want to talk work at you when you've just managed to steal ten minutes to throw something resembling lunch down your throat.
People who are unable to change lanes as soon as it starts raining.
People who say "have you go a minute?" when they mean "have you got an afternoon?"
People who ring my doorbell at first light on Sunday to talk to me about god.
People who think their race / salary/ disability / diet / skin colour / religion / weight / age / job title / political allegiance / preferred mode of transport gives them carte blanche to do what the hell they want without question or regard for anyone else.
Actually, people.
But you also like cats Houns, which gives you a free pass on your Boyle based ignorance.
For now.
Blower joins the list for the use of alot instead of a lot.
Also,
People who wear ignorance as a badge of honour, especially regarding IT. Eg, "oh, I don't know anything about computers" when their job is a bloody Accountant. It's like a gardener going "oh, I don't know how to use a shovel".
People who pronounce URLs with the dots at the end of each level rather than the beginning. Eg, "find us at doubleyou-doubleyou-doubleyou-dot, bbc-dot, co-dot, uk". I appreciate that this probably features on no-one else's radar, but it's pissed me off mightily for a very long time.
Intolerant people. Er, oops.
People who confuse "affect" and "effect". I've never in my life had a problem with this until everyone else started misusing it, it never even occurred to me that they'd be confusable words; now, I've got to check every time I write it because I've read it used wrongly so often that I've actually caught the stupid.
Bastards.
I like you Cougar, you sound as angry and frustrated at life as I.
I quite like the term 'vitriolic'.
It's what my grandad would have termed "full of piss and wind."
Thanks Rusty 😀
People who think it's ok to sell electronic equipment with no user manual whatsoever (because it's available in electronic form), but a health and safety book an inch think that basically tells you in 47 different languages not to eat it, set it on fire, or stick it up your arse.
People who wear a mobile phone on thier belts . Its not 1997.
People who accelerate up to red lights in thier Vectra's
Kidz who talk into thier mobile phones like they are on 'Im a twunt, kill me now'
Bell ends who speed through Asda's car park. well done you, you have just won the speeding through Asda car park race... Oh look , here comes Frank Williams in his wheelchair , so amazed by your ability to drive at 45mph round a supermarket car park he wants to give you a test session in Williams F1 Car .Please.
Mister P - MemberBlower joins the list for the use of alot instead of a lot
ahhh wish i went to school
and don't get me started on fog lights .
cougar, drink less coffee my lovely
*kisses*
Whoop i'm on a list, i like Frankie Boyle

erm can i add bono to this list. and geldof. oh and philip schofield.
and don't get me started on fog lights
For some reason this [i]really[/i] boils my wee too
drink less coffee
... less... no, you've lost me, sorry.
don't get me started on fog lights
You know, it's not the 'there's a light mist, quick, put the fog lights on for the next two days' effect that captivates my caprine, but the same people who will then drive in torrential rain with visibility of about a foot and -not- put them on.
Recently I've stopped caring about what other people do unless it directly affects my health/wealth etc. Oddly liberating not to get troubled by how annoying most people are.
The self-righteous.
Supermarket grazers. Are you SO frecken hungry you cannot wait 10 mins before paying for the cream cakes before woofing them as you 'browse' the pitted olives and Pine nut pasta section.
I try hard not to care too much about other people's bell-endery but I'll try to do as many of the things that piss off the list-makers on this thread as I can. Especially the ones that effect Cougar.

Inniiiiiiiiit ?
People who sit on gym equipment, playing with their mobile phones for 20 minutes at a time and doing do exercise at all..
I'll try to do as many of the things that piss off the list-makers on this thread as I can. Especially the ones that effect Cougar.
What starts with "come here" and ends with "ouch"?
Politicians.
Oh and Saturday night television planners.
Play with phones when you're trying to talk to them.
...
Call themselves vegetarians but still eat fish.
1) Be more interesting.
2) Not that many people are familiar with the term "pescetarian".

That would be because they will simply increase glare for both the driver and oncoming traffic. They are called [u]fog[/u] lights for a reason....
People in restaurants who point at your food and make faces.
People in train stations/underground dragging minuscule suitcases on wheels.
People that find anything to do as they enter a pub to avoid going to the bar first.
Chuggers.
People who turn up at the dying moments of any uni house party with a guitar and start a 'wonderwall' singalong.
Chuggers with dreadlocks and/or comedy hats.
People who think there funny.
People who refer to them self in 3rd person or as a "lad"
Also RS will you kill me? I have never read a book since school, I'm not proud of it but i certainly don't regret not reading 1
Anyone whom has posted on this list.
Is bellendery only to be used negatively for piss boilers, or can it be used to describe someone who genuinely amuses me, those who want to look smart, but just completely **** it up?
That would be because they will simply increase glare for both the driver and oncoming traffic. They are called fog lights for a reason....
The Highway Code states that they're for use 'when visibility is seriously reduced', it makes no distinction between fog and other causes. And you don't get much oncoming traffic on a motorway. As for headlight glare, I've found it to be a bigger problem in fog than in rain.
Personally, I'd take a bit of glare if it meant I could see other road users.
can I get
Worst....phrase.....ever.
those who want to look smart, but just completely **** it up?
I resemble that comment, and it offends myself.
can I get
[b]Worst....phrase.....ever[/b].
Apart from drawing out a stupidly exaggerated phrase for no reason, such as that highlighted here.....
😆
Say that they 'speak as they find' and somehow expect a prize for it.
I absolutely hate this attitude.
It's the same as saying "I'm going to be rude and upset someone, but I don't care, aren't I great?"
Thoughtless and inconsiderate people in general. People with inexplicably high opinions of themselves. Most people when they're behind the wheel of their car.
And +1 for the people who "don't suffer fools gladly". Usually seems to mean they like to dismiss people as fools if they don't like or understand what they have to say.
People who say "what" instead of "that", as in "It was him what did it". Equally, people who say "them" instead of "those".
Oh, sod it, "the lower class".
I say Can I get.
Why does it upset?
Yeah.. I hate things that aren't like me.. why would anyone choose to be different to me..!?
Like Orangutans.. noble guardians of the forest my arse.. smug ginger tossers if you ask me..
I want to smash their faces in..

People what overuse "inverted" "commas"! Do you do it in "real life" with your "fingers"?
Oh, sod it, "the uneducated class".
Why does it upset?
Superiority.

Emsz, it just makes you sound like you watch endless repeats of 'Friends' and would prefer to be American.
And it's grammatically incorrect.
But really it just annoys boring old pedants like me 😀

[i] it just makes you sound like you watch endless repeats of 'Friends' [/i]
😳
Don't want to be an american though.
And it's grammatically incorrect.
For who?
American grammar is different from British grammar and in no way can you say it's wrong.
People that write 'could of'.
Emsz, don't worry about it.
I know language evolves and changes.
Doesnt mean I have to like it though!
DS, I just don't like uneccessary Americanisation of the language as it's spoken over here.
'Get' and 'have' have two very different meanings.
If someone pops round and asks if they can 'get' a tea, when offered, they will be directed to the kitchen and told to help themselves.
People who mow their lawns at anytime before 10 on a weekend
People who drive Rovers
And I have to agree with people that say they "don't suffer fools" like some kind of public announcement. Cock off.
The overuse of the word "cock" on this forum - Do you really aspire to be James May?
Yeah, add that one: ANYONE who likes Top Gear for anything other than the cars.
Drivers with their windscreen washers set too high, especially when I've just washed my car.
No wonder this country is in a mess, everyones getting wound up over irrelevant issues. 😉
(I'm surprised no one has mentioned use of emoticons yet.) 😡
middle class grammar checking 🙂
small minded intollerant bellends who write lists of the things they cant tollerate
