There are also peole out there who think its aceptable to hang it on a tree branch. I can only imagine they believe the government employ people to wander the woodlands at night in the search for poo bags on trees!
This annoys me too. I was told (probably by one of them) that they're hung in the tree so that the dog walker can continue with the walk without having to carry it with them, and then pick it up again on the way back and dispose of it correctly. This is all well and good in theory, but it does not explain why someone decided it's a good idea to hang a bag of dog poo in the position indicated by the blue scribbling, when the nearest dog poo bin is approximately where the red scribbling is.
ETA - that's a footpath and cycle lane in the photo, not a strange single-carriageway with half a roundabout.

When someone makes a post and you actually agree with the point they are trying to make, but can't post that you agree because their spelling and grammar is atrocious :/
Especially when they spell surely as Shirley.Unless they actually think that joke is still funny, of course.

Then they shouldn't eat dog sh!t. It should be fairly self-correcting.
I understand the issue when you are on a village green or something, but when you are deep in the woods what is the point? Do you think the all the birds and squirrels are collecting their poop up in a plastic bag and delivering it to some central collection point? It is biodegradable fertilizer.
In the woods, no. But in a field, maybe. Something to do with the undigested stuff a dog might poo out being what the animals can smell out and eat, and then of course the rest of it being bad for them.

Car insurance or banking or any other help lines that take your details via some sort of automated voice recognition system then pass you over to a human being who then requests the information all over again because the automated system doesn't pass your frigging details over to the call centre rep!
And another thing, skimming 3% surchage on credit card payments. Hardly anyone else does this nowadays.
Over the last week or two I've had several emails about the new EBA. The latest one being about the EBA open sessions being run by the EBA project team to learn about the new EBA before the EBA go live date. They've even sent me a presentation entitled "EBA All Hands Brief" to introduce the EBA and explain what functionality will come in with each phase of the EBA rollout. A quick search of the intranet found 60 hits for EBA.
Only 1 of the first page of search results actually says what EBA stands for.

People who waste my time from eBay who come and spend two hours looking at my car, going for a test drive and saying they will definitely have it, then win the auction and then never answer their phones.
When checking their feedback you then find that they bought another vehicle about the same time they allegedly bought mine!
That was really annoying.

People who, while in conversation, reply to the other person with "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" in rapid succession.
One "yes" to acknowledge the other person's point will suffice, thanks very much.
Or who keep saying "yes" over you whilst you talk as a sort of acknowledgement that they are listening and following you. It's intensely annoying. One "yes" to acknowledge the other person's point will suffice, thanks very much.
