Only in hotels.
I’m not a monster.
Jury’s still out until we find what exactly it was you put in the trouser press.
Those things are great for reheating pizza.
pavement parking annoys me. On the estate I live, it is rife. And not because people don't have a drive way to park on, but because it already has a car on it, despite being space for two. As if they both park on the drive, they might have to shuffle cars around, depending on who is leaving the house. Oh the inconvenience of it. Instead just block 2/3's of the pavement.
And people that don't recycle and/or make no effort to consume less. Scumbags.
Instagrammers. How is that a living. The effort people make to get a single photo, the mind boggles. And I wonder how many of the scantily clad females realise they are getting 'likes' due to half their boobs hanging out, rather than the really deep and meaningful caption they wrote below it.
In fact, anyone who invests more than a few minutes a day into social media is a fool. It is the cancer of the 21st century.
Oh and noisy eaters.
The list goes on....
People who go "mmm...mmmm.mmm....mmmmmmm" when eating.
People who say 'everythink' when they mean 'everything'.
And politicians, all of them, just ###k right off!
Or the small road works where you can see no one at the opposite end of the 30yds and diligently sit there for ages until the green light shows
There's probably a forum in an alternative universe where someone is complaining about me overtaking them and driving through red-lights a couple of times for that. 😈

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they know what's generating the views and likes, and that's how they can make a living at it.
Old people who go "ahhhhhhh" after a sip of tea or "oof" when standing up. Like I do now.
People who wear caps the wrong way round. Why? If you don’t want the peak then wear a beanie or another hat without one.
People who think the public road outside of their house is their road, it's not.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they know what’s generating the views and likes, and that’s how they can make a living at it.
There is a young and attractive Asian girl drumming on YouTube. I’m sure the stockings and suspenders are essential to her technique.
SUV's. May are wider than their lanes here on the narrow roads of Cheshire.
Utterly absurd vehicles.

Dummies.
Dummies
Bravo.
militant language luddites
Ha! My bins are the same colour!
Therefore, everything you say is wrong and I retain my feelings of superiority and self-righteousness.
Right now? people in my house clattering about. There's painters, and a guy to come to measure to make some bookcases. I wish they would all just Foxtrot Oscar so I have have peace and quiet back
Insurance companies and their renewal loyalty penalty fees.
Thank you for insuring with us, and not making a clsim. Next year your premium is going up by 1/3 and it will auto renew in 5 days time.
Ditto broadband providers. Oh your leaving, have a year at half price on us as we have tucked you up for the ladt 4. No. go screw yourselves blind.
See also, walking pairs who instinctively head for opposite sides of the path to let you pass.
Yeah, that pisses me off. It shows collective indecision and is an invitation for someone to cross to the other side right in front of you. I've decided that when a couple do this it indicates all is not well in their relationship 😀
Yeah, that pisses me off.
I just stop. And look at them. They usually look spooked or angry. Win.

Useless without pictures.
People standing to close to me. And I was like this BEFORE Covid
You are Sting and I claim my five Pounds.
Verbing nouns generally. Inbox me.
Such as "email me" or "phone me"?
Useless without pictures.

Sod it. Why bother?

Horrifying.
I can't believe she hasn't replaced the stock heads on those drums. And her snare tuning doesn't bear thinking about.
My very first thoughts.

Well,I thought it was funny 😉
Because I seem to hear it more and more now, people who think the phrase is "The proof is in the pudding".
Technically true but how are you going to know the proof without EATING the pudding......
Who the duck would turn down a chance of pudding?!
You're a pudding.
The pops and bangs dickhead brigade. Selfish * arseholes the lot of them. Chief of which lives about 5 doors down from me, the absolute double * has woke my daughter up on more than one occasion and if it wasn’t for my wife being as level headed as she is, I would probably be doing time for scudding his fat dial of the bonnet of his piece of shit, 15 year old S3. No mate, your 4 banger turbo and Akro exhaust don’t sound good, it sounds * broken and as for a 45 year old bloke covering his car in stickers, get a life you man bun *. **** off
Ooh er. Until today my favourite drummer was Bill Bruford.
Litter.Roadside litter.Grass has been cut around here and the litter is awful.I feel embarrassed for the state of my area when I am out on the bike.
McDonald's drive through customers.See above.
Absolutely anything to do with the Tory party.
Andy Preston.
Bone dry fanny's.

My favourite period of King Crimson! Especially live.
Drivers who don't take up the correct position when turning right out of a T junction and you're stuck behind them waiting to turn left and can't.
People who catogorise others by the type of car they drive.
Also bmw drivers. Twits.
Bone dry fanny’s.
Bone dry fanny's what?
Oh. My. God. She's a grocer!
The horror!
love this post! Hearing the little things that drive people mad is really amusing. The single thing that I hate is when cars and motorbike drivers/riders stop in the bike zone at a junction. Its for push bikes your car or motorbike means there is no space for bicycles.
Ooh another ‘Things we hate’ thread. If anybody sends me an email, Teams message, basically any form of text based communication and uses more than a single ? or ! in a row I don’t respond to them as they are clearly an absolute ****.
Yes it is petty, but it really annoys me. Along with the seemingly recent trend of people using myself and yourself when they should be using me or you. Dickheads, the lot of them.
People starting emails with hey.
You, me, them, everybody. Everybody.
Has the Illinois State Police Department just arrived?
Someone I work with never uses a question mark at the end of a question in an email.
People who, whilst extremely intelligent, persist with putting K on the end of thing words.
People who shout you’re wrong even when they know you are right / people who are unnecessarily unfair and there’s nothing you can do about it.
The use of 'new' words where there is a perfectly acceptable word that has been used for hundreds of years:
Uptick - seems to be used regularly in news bulletins and in those COVID presentations from No.10. WTF is wrong with the word 'increase' or 'upturn'
Slated - traditionally means to get criticised, now seems to be used to as a synonym for 'expected' or 'chosen'
Doesn't "slated" essentially mean "written down" or "pencilled in"? I always assumed that was the etymology, chalk on slate.
The bike industry. It gets worse and worse. I get there's a pandemic going on and cycling has literally exploded, but what the hell is with bike manufacturers not being able to stick to delivery dates, or worse, even launching new products knowing full sodding well they either don't have enough to meet demand or even have a single one to actually sell?
Just feels like every brand is just a giant kickstarter project at the minute. Case in point, if the info I've just been given is to be believed, the bike I ordered in June (before it was even released) will not be in my hands until February of next year... Heard of a friend of a friend who wanted two identical kids bikes for Christmas, could get one, but wouldn't have the other until July 2021!
Overuse of the word “surge” in the media
People with a lack of integrity / snakes in the grass / happy to take from you.
Use of the word literally used in a non-literal sense.
slowoldman
Use of the word literally used in a non-literal sense.
It literally makes my head explode it's so annoying.
@vickypea I have a colleague who uses them at the end of about 1/3 of all the sentences she writes? Even if it's not a question? Sets my teeth on edge.

Is she Australian.
Nothign to do with [i]people[/i] this one. The Wind! Just those days where the trees aren't moving, there looks like there's no wind and yet, when you start riding, it's blowing against you whichever direction you go. Like this morning. Bastard wind.
And Nationwide "poetry" adverts. Really make me wanna kick the telly in.
Kettle thieves
I fill the kettle, switch it on and ctsck on with a little bit of work knowing that it will be ready for use in a few minuted.
I return to the kettle to find it empty as some other person has stolem my hpt water, left the scene and hasnt bothered to refill the kettle and switch it back on again
Another vote for stupid weather, hate those days when the weather decides be blazing sunshine one minute then pissing down the next. BBC Weather also seems to just put every symbol under the sun most days, so basically they don't have a clue.
Car heater controls being included in a touch screen rather than physical buttons. Not only is it annoying, but also downright dangerous. Just give me a big f-off dial for my A/C, Climate or heater please!
Completely irrational, but the prick who parks his car outside my house every day and doesn't move it until about 9pm.
I get that it's a public road so he can park there if he wants. But there's loads of parking, literally 10 feet up the road, that's not outside anyone's house. He even walks past it after parking outside our house.
Means that when my wife gets home she has to park further up the road as we have no drive.
I do appreciate this is completely insane but I think working from home has sent me a bit rear window.
those days when the weather decides be blazing sunshine one minute then pissing down the next.
Or. as we call them in the West of Scotland, days
"I saw it with my own eyes". Is there any other way?
"Redoubling efforts". No, you're just increasing your efforts.
"Doubling down". That'll just be focussing then.
Could of, would of, should of, etc.
Innit.
You get me?
Fam, cuz, etc
Blud.
People, usually from the Home Counties, talking as if they've been raised in some Jamaican ghetto.
Can I get...
People who don't understand the value of please and thank you.
Miserable f##ktards who just moan about their job but don't do anything about it, for years and years and years...If it's that bad, leave. If not, shut up.
People speeding through my village.
Pepole not picking up their dog's poo.
People in Asda, Ikea, Morrisons, etc, who shout and swear at their children.
Racists, of all denominations.
Feminists who hate all men and think we're all to blame for their woes.
That bellend in the car, we've all met him whilst on a ride.
Bin bags that are thinner than a sheet of graphene.
People who drop their McDonalds out of their car window.
People who litter in general.
Trump, and his supporters.
All of the above can get in the sea.
New electronics that are not usb C and/or wireless chargeable.
People who don’t read the OP before posting loads of words. Like, list loads of stuff when the op says “ Is there one thing that gets you going?” Ha.
Every other expert or knowledgeable person interviewed on the news/ newsnight who starts their sentences with the word 'SO'.... Once you notice it, there's no avoiding it, it's everywhere.
This seems to have appeared a few years ago and has been adopted as common parlance whenever there is a need to evoke authority on the subject.
This really gets my goat.
They used to start sentences with "Look".I believe Blair was the instigator for that.
For myself,I'm starting to get mildly annoyed that all the blackcurrants in my jam are situated at the top of the jar which results in fruit heavy toast for a couple of days followed by fruitless and jelly heavy toast on subsequent mornings.
No,I'm not going to stir it as i prefer to moan.
Folk that don't wear their ****ing face coverings properly. Or at all. For **** sake it's an easy request, wear a face covering over your mouth and nose.
Tempted to get some t-shirts printed up along the lines of
"Don't be a dick..
😷
Wear your mask properly.."
Even had an older woman, no mask about 2 foot behind me in a queue... ArgHGH!
greenwashing. That gets right on my goat. No your two tonne monster SUV is not green just 'cos it has a hybrid drivetrain. No recycling your nespresso capsules will not make up for using the ruddy unneeded things in the first place
Just as the second wave is gathering momentum, Royal Mail want to re-introduce van sharing. Back in March, the colleagues I van shared with for less than 20mins total (in small bits around delivery area) while I was completely asymptomatic, both self-isolated ~5 days later.
