Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
Self righteously indignant 
s who are also completely wrong about the subject of their indignation is fking me off right now.
We own a field which borders the village playground. On the other side of tour field is a bridleway and tennis courts. At the bottom of our field and the playground is another field. There's a public right of way through that field to access the bridle way and hence the tennis court. Unfortunately, somes have been climbing over the fence, trespassing through our field, then climbing over the gates on the other side (or pushing their way through the hedge). They've broken a number of fence posts and the gates are sagging because of the lazy aholes who have been climbing over them. Then, the fkers have had the gall to complain to the parish council that there were broken fence posts and that we weren't maintaining the footpath well enough. Well, THERE'S NO fkING FOOTPATH OR PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH THAT FIELD YOU STUPID, LAZY, COCKSUCKING, SHEEP SHAGGING, fkWITTED S! 
And breathe... New fencing is going up over the next couple of days and if gets broken again, I swear I'll put up a fking electrified fence

"Have you had a haircut?"
YES OF COURSE I'VE HAD A fkING HAIRCUT YOU OBSERVANT ! THAT'S WHY ITS CLEAR THAT MY HAIR IS A DAMN SIGHT SHORTER THAN IT WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU, BECAUSE I MADE THE ACTIVE DECISION TO GO TO A BARBER'S SHOP AND GET SOME OF IT CUT OFF SO THAT I LOOK A BIT SMARTER.
What answer did you expect me to give other than "yes?" when you've asked me that? Are you just checking in case I had been involved in some bizarre accident that left me with a number 5 round the sides and scissored on top to blend in and a decent trim of the beard for a change?
Just say no, it really stumps them.YES OF COURSE I'VE HAD A f

Do you ask the person behind if they mind/will it cause them a problem before you recline?
No, nor do I complain when/if the person in front of me reclines their seat.It's what it's there for.
My comfort isn't dictated by the comfort of the person sitting behind me I'm afraid. If you need the extra leg room, there are various solutions.
For the record, I do choose extra legroom seats when possible because a) Extra legroom, and b) I appreciate it's probably annoying not being able to recline the seat. Unfortunately when I'm in regular seats I can't do much about that.

Yes. I did this to the second person who asked me. They were suitably stumpedCold caller: "Do you like good food?"
Me: "Nope. Can't stand the stuff"
Cold caller: "..."
Cold caller: "Do you want to save money?"
Me: "Nope. I've got so much I don't know what to do with it"
Cold caller: (meekly) "Can I have some?"
(Got to give him credit for that one)
Colleague: (indicating to my bag) "Is that your handbag? (huh huh huh)"
Me: "Yes. Yes it is."

And reclining my seat, yes, I do that. I've paid for the seat, it has that function, why wouldn't I?

Some people think of others, some don't. I was on a short flight recently and not one seat was reclined. In fact the only time I've seen a number of seats reclined was on a long-haul. The discomfort you're prepared to put up with, and the discomfort you're prepared to cause others varies with length of flight it seems.
You can't recline on Sleazyjet and I wouldn't be surprised if other short haul operators have done the same to increase capacity. Personally I find a few degrees of recline makes a world of difference to my comfort if I want to sleep. What annoys me on flights is people who make such a drama out of getting into their seat and stowing their luggage - standing in the middle of the isle taking off 6 layers of clothing, digging out their phone charger or their headphones etc. This is after getting on the front of the plane to traipse their way up to row 22. Surely every one arrives with enough time to sort out the basics? Just enormously inefficient.

Was a Thomas Cook flight from Innsbruck and yes, the seats reclined. Don't know about Easyjet but your thoughts concerning capacity could well be true.People that stand side by side on escalators, the London underground rule should apply everywhere, get out of my way you fat lazy fk.
People that go into a shopping centre or town centre to seemingly wonder around as slow as possible with nothing to do, again, get out of my way you fat lazy fk.

Insurance companies that will automatically charge the renewal premium to my card 'for my convenience'. More like for your convenience so if I don't notice or can't be bothered to ring around you can charge me your whacking extortionate renewal cost.
It's not an accident that many don't send automatic renewal reminders, either.skinnyman said:

Why are you always in such a rush? Seriously, an escalator ride is probably less than a minute and you're probably held up for seconds at best. Calm yourself down a bit you impatient fk.People that go into a shopping centre or town centre to seemingly wonder around as slow as possible with nothing to do, again, get out of my way you fat lazy f
k.k.Overhead road-signs that say stuff like "A27 closed at A2025".
Who the hell knows where the A2025 is ? The A27 goes on for hundreds of miles and unless you've got some photographic memory and know the UK roads inside out then what use is it ?
Why don't they say "A27 closed at Worthing" or "A27 closed in 25 miles" ???

k.k.People that dither and do not appreciate the people within their surroundings cause frustration to others. There should be a rule to allow cattle-prods to be used on geriatric old dithering t
ts at popular times - pre-9am, post-4pm, and 12-2 lunchtimes. Would make the bloody queue in the post office a lot more dynamic. And fun for sadists. (See also fat useless "full time mummys" who block everything by walking 3 pushchairs wide, letting their snotty nosed f
