Two from today.
Men who wear those stupid thin leather shoelace type wrist bands, and people who take full size prams on the train at rush hour.

Less of the 'git' please.

"Superiority complex"? I feel inferior to adults who get their jollies watching people with different superpowers (oh FFS!) in costumes pretend-fly and fight each other? Seriously?? Good Grief!

I think perhaps you need to read up on what a "superiority complex" is. It's when you haughtily look down on people and denigrate them for liking something that you feel is beneath you. Like you're doing again. Like you do so often when you post on PH.

Oh, I'm sorry, does your thin skin have a problem with the word 'git'? Maybe you should dish out less insults if you can't take them yourself.

(The irony being that I didn't even mean it as an insult)

Even weirder as those strange men who rest their foreheads on the wall while peeing.

Unless so drunk that they can't stand, but by that point urinal etiquette is probably not at the forefront of their mind. (The wall is.)

Could be worse.

And he chose the middle one too! Such flagrant disregard for urinal etiquette.

People who think that this is some kind of 'Help sort out my problem' thread. It's for having a bloody good moan, I don't want your advice!

superiority complex
noun
an attitude of superiority which conceals actual feelings of inferiority and failure.

Like I said, that doesn't apply to me.

No, the irony is I was joking. I'm not even sure I'd count 'git' as an insult anyway.

Toasters that aren't big enough to toast a standard size slice of bread.

In my current office the toilet has 9 cubicles. Office population is such that it's rare that more than two are in use at the same time.

But still at least twice a week some psychopath decides out of the 8 empty stalls he'll sit next to the one I'm in. Just fk off.

Weirdly it never happens at the urinals, where normal etiquette is adhered to.

Also I work with some people who can't use a dyson airblade to dry their hands. fking idiots.

Car parks. Empty ones, more particularly.

They annoy me beyond reason because I can never decide where to park. I usually end up parking and re-parking several times in different places as I weigh up the various options and benefits of alternate spaces.

Give me a car park with just one empty space every time!

I bet you're like that in the public urinal too

I always purposely park out of the way, surrounded by as many empty spaces as possible............So, how is it that quite frequently some tosser has parked right along side me and we're both still surrounded by all the empty spaces ?

30mph literalists.
Yes I know the limit is 30, but just lately I seem to have come across lots of people who manage to get the speedo needle stuck on absolutely 30 and not 30.1 or any higher. It really grinds my gears on a road with plenty of room and visibility not to be eeking it out a little.
Doesn't help that the road used to be 40 before the nanny state came along.

Recycling Pringles tubes

Plastic lid in one bin, cut off the metal base and put in another bin, and the cardboard tube in a third bin

People who dawdle up to the traffic lights in front of you when you just know they will change to red at any second.

fking tennis. Particularly at the moment. Hour upon fking hour of Wimbledon because my wife is obsessed with it. Right now (at 2241 on a Sunday evening) she is watching a documentary about Serena (Mike Tyson in a ballet dress) fking Williams.

She was even late for our fking wedding because John fking Lloyd was playing on Centre fking Court!

I think you do Iron Mike a disservice.

Never has there been a more pressing reason for someone to advise a woman on her evening wear than when Serena puts her gladrags on.

She looks like a cross between a bodybuilder and a rhinocerous in most frocks. Here she is with her version of cute.

I was caught doing 34 by a mobile camera van, that was parked around a sharp corner in a village i'd never been to before. 30 on the dot from now on.

So according to your speedo you were doing 36 when caught!
