Men who shave the bottom of their beards to give the illusion of a jaw line / chin
There was one of those in a resterant I was in last week. Chubby chap with a pencil thin beard to mark where his jaw line would have been, plus drawn on eyebrows, and complaining in a loud voice that people were staring at him just because he's gay.

I wanted to explain that no one could see his sexuality, just his rediculous face, but like everyone else I'm a significantly greater coward in real life than I am on the internet.

Well, actually, it isn't a word; just a series of letters that resemble a word.

People who never shut up about how they cannot function in the morning without coffee, in an 'Ooh! Look how rebellious I am!' sort of manner. Most normal people just think they are having a brew when they put the kettle on. You are not mainlining heroin or smoking crack with your Cornflakes FFS!

They rustle a lot less. Considerate in an office, I'd have thought.

People who say 'Well people will just have accept me for who I am.' No they won't, if they think you're an idiot/ PITA they will fk off.

Jay walkers, specifically people who walk into the road, casually look at the oncoming traffic and then swan across the road like they fking own it. Taught one teenager a lesson the other day by virtually skimming his arse. I heard a 'fk!!!' from him. That'll learn him hehe

I do that, it requires only one hand to eat the said savouries, whilst the other can be deployed using the mouse or picking up a cup of coffee smile

Whilst it's annoying if anyone videoed you doing that (or a plod saw you) you'd get done for dangerous driving, even if you didn't hit him.

What would you do if the pedestrian just stopped?
You'd either have to hit him or stop, either way you'd look very silly.

If a teen walks across the road, slowly and like a gangsta, I slow and give them lots of space whilst suitably ignoring them and it kind of takes the wind out of their sales as they expecting you to;
A) Complain, so they can tell you to fk off, or
B) Aim at them so they can hold their hands up in mock shock and tell you to fk off.

Graham Bloody Norton on the radio (I'm not at home) wittering away with some other old queen, punctuated only by songs from musicals. I have escaped, but the urge to kill something has not subsided.

I agree that it so annoying.

I must confess though that some of the obnoxious black cab drivers in the City don't know rule 8 of the highway code. So bleedin' arrogant are they that reminding them is satisfying.


8
At a junction. When crossing the road, look out for traffic turning into the road, especially from behind you. If you have started crossing and traffic wants to turn into the road, you have priority and they should give way (see Rule 170).

0844 / 0845 & 0970 etc., telephone numbers. If I can't find an alternative here - http://www.saynoto0870.com , I buy elsewhere.

Why don't firms use proper telephone numbers. evil

Just watched pt.2 of the Ginola car episode of Chop Shop ... whilst there is much wrong with the series (not least of which is stretching 20 minutes of actual content across two hours of TV), I'm not usually moved to shouting at the TV ... until I saw one of their dwarf monkey "mechanics" fingering a clutch, then later, a new 6-pot caliper with hands as black as my hat. That tipped me over the edge and "GET YOUR FILTHY HOOKS OFF THE FRICTION LINING YOU DIRTY !" erupted from my lips. This kind of thing does tend to happen when I'm left on my own for any length of time laugh

Shill bidding s on eBay. Found something that I thought I might fancy the other day, forgot to bid on it later in the day so it sold, ahhh well I thought (I'm always doing that), was relisted the next day, along with all the other things he had been selling. Hmmm strange, check completed listings, and everything that had a bid on, the winning bid was by the same person for every item. Checked completed listing on his other items, there were items other multiple people had won, which is fair enough, but sure enough the shill bidder from the first items had been bidding on these items, but obviously his gamble paid off for these items. Item I want is low starting price, stick a penny higher bid in, and boom a couple of minutes later mr shill bidder outbids me again.

Now I know some people do buy things from the same seller all the time, I bid on a series of seperate computer games from one seller for my collection, because I collect them and he had what I wanted, but what this seller was just lots of random stuff, all of which the same guy has bid on them.

Surprisingly it's highly illegal doing that! To me I don't see the issue (annoying yes but not illegal) because its just like bouncing bids off the wall in a real auction and you still bid to a price you want to pay. But I remember a case where a bloke nearly got sent down for it
