Ties.
Wear one if you like but don’t insist others should.

Listen I want to dress like a 17th Century Croatian Mercenary and I bloody will. Don’t embarrass me by not joining in.

STW delivers again, I had no idea Croation Mercenaries invented the necktie !!!!
It's not a bad look 😉

There's nothing much I find incomprehensible, different folks different strokes. But why do pedestrians cross the road without looking whith the red man still showing, the traffic stopping from one direction only means its coming from another !!!!@

Am I alone in finding the new Red/green man is on the button box system impossible to use. I appreciate it stops me looking at the traffic lights and using them as opposed to the crossing light, but I hardly notice when they are green these days.

There's a lot I don't get these days, but very little I care about!

Middle lane drivers?

Coffee, tastes like burnt arseholes and is addictive as smoking. If you can't look at the likes of CostaBucks opening new shops on every corner and often multiple shops in relatively small towns, in eye sight of each other and think they're not exploiting their customers you must be quite mad.

Bottled Water, I live in Wales, do we really need to take water from France, stuff it into plastic bottles and ship it hundreds of miles here? Nuts.

SUVs in general, 99% of them never go off-road, more than 80% of new ones on sale today were never designed to go off-road. They're pointlessly big on the outside, inefficiently small on the inside and every part of their design is at odds to good car design.

'Sporty' SUVs same at the above, only with a massively over-powered engine, it's pure Golf Club bragging rights. Revolting and tasteless.

Loveisland (obvs) I can't be the only one who sees they're horribly damaged people who should be in counselling, but we're feeding their disorders instead.

Mrs. Browns Boys, I know it's supposedly to be a comedy, but it's somehow not?

Trump and Boris leering more and more to the nasty right, that's pretty easy to comprehend, why instead of being political suicide it's only making them more popular I can't understand. It reminds me of that Michel and Webb sketch when they're in the SS uniforms. Trump is screaming "send her back" and the crowd are joining in, but no one is pausing for a moment, thinking about what they're doing wondering "are we the Baddies?"

Singlespeeds and especially Fixies, To me it's like those people who like hot wax dripped on their 'bits' why do that to yourself, is your life to easy and carefree you want to make your hobby more unpleasant than it needs to be.

People who take up vaping not to quid smoking, because they want to. The sort of thought pattern that says "I'm going to voluntarily get myself addicted to a drug that has no high, so I can see what 'strawberry' steam tastes like. Did they not learn from their parents generation how stupid that is?

STW binaries who grew up lonely still as angry as ever about vaping, dogs, cars, music, sports they don’t like and bikes they don’t ride, but most of all they’re just angry at themselves. 😀

That’s not at all incomprehensible though.

Grown men that congregate late at night, outside a wendyball stadium and chant an obscure name. The name often belongs to a young athletic man from South America or Spain. They stand chanting Pedro or Miguel or Jesus or something similar, for hours and hours into the dead of night. These chanting grown men quite often dress up in some highly flammable nylon outfit that they purchased from SportsDirect for about £3.95.

Quite often they do this in front of television camera's and the images of these grown men are beamed throughout the country.

WHY????????

Also, utility companies.

Yet are to a man*, utter balls at it.

Never seen any of this. Totally fail to understand why anyone would make this kind of stuff up just to post their fantasy about being being too cool for school
Putting hazard lights on because that makes parking on the pavement ok

People who like/don't like something and think everyone else should like/not like the same things as they do. Why not just enjoy what you like?

People who don't give a toss about the environment and carry on walking around with bottled water (to somehow look cool), also coffee in non recyclable cups.

Developers who continue to build luxury, exclusive 4/5 bed homes on green belt, when we need small affordable homes built on brownfield sites (of which there are plenty).

Dog owners that buy them and stick them either in a handbag or a dog pram.

Smokers. Come on it's been common knowledge for years that its harmful to you and all around you.

People who don't look after themselves, expecting the NHS to fix everything, (because I've paid for it all my life) bad attitude.

shoe laces that come undone, even when tied tightly in a double knot.

User error. Tie the bow in a reef knot instead of a granny knot (ie, tie the bottom knot under the bow wrong-handed) and you won't need a double knot even.

..people who say “wendyball”.

I'll expand this to any "hilarious" term that people persist in using despite it going past its sell-by date several decades ago. "Micro$oft Windoze" for instance, wow, I've never heard that one before, did you come up with it all by yourself? And "Magic Granddad" is rapidly joining it in going from rather amusing originally to painfully and tediously unfunny now.

wasps are not pests.
They are vital to nature. They eat all the bad grubs and insect larvae in your lawn, without then we'd be over run. Also they build the most beautiful intricate nests.
If they come bothering you let them be.

Dogs of any description as pets, it’s a wolf just waiting to take out your throat or your kid’s.

There is enough genetic difference between wolves and canis familiars to debunk this. The real picture is much more nuanced, although they can still create hybrids, the latter has not evolved to hunt like a wolf, they have evolved for the most part to scavenge and rely on humans.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6266929/

Very small difference in genetic makeup can make huge physiological and behavioral alterations - there is only a small genetic difference between a fox that wants to bite your bollocks off and one that is fluffy and cute.

Why electric cars don’t have that roof and bonnet made from solar panels.

That’s because the solar panels will, after an entire day in full sunshine, give an additional three miles to the range of the car. They basically do not work in that context.

The one thing I really struggle to understand on a daily basis and if I stop to ponder it for too long I start to feel very depressed is how a human can inflict physical pain on another human knowing how much, for example it bloody hurts when you do something innocuous like stub your toe. I just don't understand how people can stab, torture and rape etc.

And hoodies with the hoods up

Ludicrously loud and intrusive ring-tones.

Stealth boasting on social media, especially on Facebook - with accompanying photo. Some sort of self deprecating post that surreptitiously draws attention to a career advancement or material acquisition.

Laughter that derives from The Last Leg TV show.

It's probably already been said, but:

Sick Bicycles
Rich Energy
Dark roast coffee
The popularity of Donald Trump (in the US)
The popularity of football (only about 1% of a match has any interesting bits)
Rugby (ditto, but you can't even see the ball for 50% of the time)

There are many others.
