Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
Pubs and restaurants that have the exhaust vent from their kitchen extractors pointing towards the beer garden or outdoor seating area so you have to sit drinking with the stench of steaks being burnt to a cinder going up your nose.
I like a nice steak but don't want to smell the f
king thing while it gets cremated in it's own blood and fat.
fkin' horrible.

kin' horrible.I was heading back from Heathrow last night. The overhead gantries started to warn about an incident ahead. Signs limiting speed to 50mph. This went on for c5 miles. Then the all clear.
No incident. Nothing. The closest thing was a broken down Discovery on the hard shoulder about 3 miles into the 5 miles.
Winds me up irrationally.

People who indicate to turn in a turn only lane. I don't know why it just annoys me more than anything else..
If it's near pedestrians, they won't necessarily know that it's a turn-only lane (assuming the physical shape of the lane doesn't make it glaringly obvious) and might still appreciate knowing that the vehicle is going to turn to aid in their decision as to whether to cross the road. And if it's not a segregated lane, if someone is in it and not indicating, how does anyone else know whether they're (a) turning but not indicating, or (b) not indicating because they're not turning and are just in the wrong lane and intend to force their way back into straight-ahead traffic as soon as the lights change?droopsnoot said:

No cyclists, no pedestrians, turning left to go up the hill, and after it separates into 2 lanes, he then indicates to go left.

It's almost as if the 50mph limit was put in place while the incident was dealt with before traffic got there....No incident. Nothing. The closest thing was a broken down Discovery on the hard shoulder about 3 miles into the 5 miles.

My neighbours daughter & her thick as pig-st boyfriend.
They both bought Peugeot 208's - identical in every way - for some odd reason.
When they park these white heaps of dullness outside they park them nose to nose with the front bumpers touching each other.
They spend ages slowly edging the cars towards each other so that they just touch.
It annoyed the crap out of me - still does. So I asked why they always park the cars with the noses touching.
The reply I got made me want to puke. I was told that the cars were kissing because their daughter & her boyfriend are deeply in love.....
FFS. It's repulsive. It annoys me. Immensely..............

And as for "before the traffic got there", have you ever driven on the M25?

Some get all the luck. Apparently a BT board member lives at the end of our street. Our internet is 1MB at best. If someone calls the house phone the internet goes down...
Maybe I'll go and have a word
Open your sockets & pull out every wire except blue to terminal 2 & blue/white to terminal 5. If you've got old handsets leave orange on no3 as well. The other wires just cause problems with internet speeds.Maybe I'll go and have a word
Oh & check your filters, it's normally faulty or missing filters causing that issue.
Having just walked into town to get my lunch, people who are incapable of walking along a pavement and being even remotely courtious of the other people walking and people who walk out of shops on to the pavement only to stand there in a bunch taking up the whole of the pavement while they decide where to go next. Bunch of complete fking mongs.
Oh and a nod or a smile wouldn't go a miss when I do get out of the way for you... common manners seem to be few and far between these days.

http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/11415310.Car_insurance_costs_remain_stubbornly_high_in_Bradford_despite_premiums_falling_nationally/?ref=mryking awfulI live in Bradford: yr right, nowhere in the country comes near and I have been to probably every part of UK now. Its literally like you hit a special inner city circle, when you drive in from the countryside, where all the residents are now playing their own version of Bradford grand theft auto.
most favourite trick, is pull up in the RH lane at traffic lights and then just force yr way left when the lights change to go straight on.
red lights are meaningless, both to motorists and the walking dead that inhabit the city streets
