People throwing rubbish out of a car, full stop.
I find Red Bull cans, McDonalds wrappers, crisp packets at the end of my drive and along my verges. The rubbish is always chav consumables. Scum.
Living near a secondary school, I find all these pushed into my garden hedge I find Red Bull cans, McDonalds wrappers, crisp packets at the end of my drive and along my verges. The rubbish is always chav consumables. Scum.

I think i am turning into a grumpy old git. I drove to B&Q yesterday and no end of things wound me up.
I was at a set of light that turned green, it was then a jogger decided to run across the road making me stop in the middle of the junction, she didn't even jog faster.
I then pulled into the car park in an end space next to a parent and child spot. A car then pulled up and a 10-12 year old hopped out. I thought they were only for small children that required assistance getting out of the car?
Driving home there are a little old lady in a car at the front of the traffic lights turning left. The filter was on and no amount of cars beeping their horns persuaded this lady that it was ok to turn left. Two cycles of the lights later we went...
The final one was driving up to my house there is a steep hill followed by a blind sharp bend. A car decided to park on the double yellows there but he was apparently allowed to do it as he had his hazards on.
You're not grumpy, it's modern life/driving, which we all have to endure. It is comforting to read a post highlighting some of the atrocious actions of our fellow motorists.I was at a set of light that turned green, it was then a jogger decided to run across the road making me stop in the middle of the junction, she didn't even jog faster.

Spam texts, even worse if they have their number hidden with a name 
At least if the number isn't hidden I send them an anonymous text back with loads of foul mouthed abuse 
Add sender to contacts then try to call it, it will show you the number, then you can add it to your SMS block list if you're on Android. At least if the number isn't hidden I send them an anonymous text back with loads of foul mouthed abuse

Err...they are for supermarket VIPs. E.g. Owners of smaller humans that have to be looked after and who consume things that supermarkets sell at a terrific rate.If single people spent more in sainsburys than parents, then there would be "express single user short term" parking next to the door. But they do not. Single people nip in and out buying a packet of condoms, 2 chicken breasts, a jar of curry sauce, and a bottle of booze. Spend £23.52. While a "busy mum", nips in and buys half the shop over a 2 hour period, followed by cake and coffee in the cafe. Spend £70.64.
If that big spender can't park near the door, they'll choose another supermarket that will let them, and they'll take that cash with them.
They are not parent and child spaces. They are for the people who spend the most. And they own children.

People who take things too seriously: sense of humour bypass has been entirely successful
e.g., parody news articles by The Daily Mash on Facebook
One yesterday about Jeremy Corbyn
Corbyn's disciples reactin on some of the comments, or laughter about the 'article'.
It's a parody, FFS. Nothing is safe at The Daily Mash.
If it was a Guardian article, they'd have more to worry about!

Automatic doors that don't open quickly enough as I approach them. I do not like having to break my stride.
Yep - seriously pisses me off too.Stupid design doors that have a grab handle when it actually needs a push

They open quicker if you say "pssht" as you approach them.OK, maybe not.
When 'Star Trek' first aired on television, a manufacturer of automatic doors wrote and asked how they got their doors to open so quickly. The producer wrote back admitting that it was two stagehands standing just off-camera.

k do you need to "swim" side by side yapping all the way up and down the length of the pool taking up my swimming space? One good thing was that I worked more by kicking my legs harder every time I passed the fGassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
