Their fking moronic "security" staff. All except one of them, who's been nothing but chatty and friendly, they're a bunch of Walting wkers.
"You can't take photos" - (I just did).
"You can't come through here" - (Clearly I just have)
"Stop!" - (Errr? How about NO!)
Funniest was the prick behind the Herras fencing with an Alsatian. Threatening me with "I'll call the Police" (Well? Do it then, and let's see how interested they are in a man taking photos in local woodland). "This is private property" (Cool. But I'm not IN your private property now, am I?) "I'll use my radio" (Ah, well. That changes everything. Now I shall just HAVE to obey your every command, Herr Hivis.) "We can confiscate your camera" (
- You might try, but you won't like the result)
What a fking . Lot's of pseudo-Police badges on his dress-up outfit, looking like constabulary shields. And "K-9 Unit" on the dog's harness. Cheers for the clue, big man. I'd have had no idea it was a dog otherwise, like...
...and that fking helicopter is STILL fking about up there. Now where did I put that laser pointer, I wonder???

Seems to be a generation of parents who will simply not tell their kids off or remove them if causing a nuisance, or even tell them to get out of people's way.
I'm sure there's some excellent 'parenting' reason for it.
Yep this.I'm sure there's some excellent 'parenting' reason for it.
We went to see a movie a few weeks ago (Lego Batman).
Ok it's a kids movie so you expect it to be a bit noisier than average, however there were a couple of women with two young girls - and about half way through the movie - the girls got bored and started running up and down the aisle, laughing and screaming, jumping up and down on the seats in the rows in front of us.....and of course the cinema staff were nowhere to be seen.
When challenged - their parents justification was "they are 6 and it's a kids movie".
I'd be mortified if my granddaughter tried to act this way during a movie and if she got that bored half way through a film - i'd just leave and go and do something else instead. To allow your kids to be so disruptive as to spoil the enjoyment of the kids and parents who were actually watching the movie (and had paid good money to do so) is selfish in the extreme.

Went to the office for a bit yesterday, then stopped at Staples, well now it seems to be generic stationary shop, can't remember what it's called now.
As I was driving up from the SECC, about to turn left, some dirty looking hippy steamed across the junction in front of me on his push bike, nearly earning himself a ride in the back of a big white van in the process.
As I pulled into the car park, I gesticulated that he should use his eyes, look where he's going, and he just shrugged at me.
I parked the car, got out, and walked to the shop, I could see him out the front of PC world next door, looking at me. He caught my eye, and started marching over, going absolutely off his head in scattered French/English, asking what my fking problem was.
I told him there was no problem, I just wanted him to watch where he was going, it's a piece of road, and he shot off the pavement in front of my car without looking. This didn't seem to help.
He's now screaming about me, something about me either doing 20, or not doing 20. 20 what? I do not know.
I'm getting annoyed by now, I tell him "ps off mate". I'm friendly, even when I'm angry.
By now he's running out of puff, still mumbling about "fking motorers", then very theatrically leans towards me and prods me in the chest, lightly, with his finger. I looked down at where he'd touched me, then looked him in the eye, and he starts giving it "Nononononono" and backing away from me.
He walks about 50m, backwards, the whole time going "No. Nono. Nononono. No...." til he gets back to PC world, gives me the finger, then dashes inside.

You the Vincent Vega character and the cyclist is played by Quentin Tarantino.
I haven't seen violence like that since I was four.
The driver of CSI 2 XXX on a Land Rover Discovery heading coast bound past the 2 lane stretch of the M3 Winchester Services.
Apart from the crap plate, which appeared to have some form of self flagellating slogan stamped along the bottom of the plate, the driver also deserves to go on this thread for their aggressive driving, including:
- Tailgating by driving within a few inches of the rear bumper of the car in front.
- Flashing drivers repeatedly that refused to immediately move over, even though they were already doing 80 odd in the right hand lane and had no way of moving over due to the fact they were already overtaking a long line of lorries occupying the left hand lane.
- Slamming on the anchors from 100 odd, and scrubbing their speed to about 65, before lurching into the left hand lane when they caught sight of a "Police" car in the left hand lane. Of course, as expected due to the colouring, the supposed Police car was actually a Highways Agency patrol vehicle and upon realising this a few seconds later CSI XXX was attempting to barge their way back out into the right hand lane and pick up their speed so that they could re-overtake all the cars that had gone past further to the anchoring on moments earlier

Today a group of sportsbikes overtaking me as cars are going by the other side on double white lines then giving it hand gestures when they get stuck behind a car up ahead.They seem to ride like they think there on the tt with no regard to other road users today made me realise why some get knocked off or sadly even worse
Ah, you mean "Organ Donors". First sign of the sun and there are streams of them screaming up the cross Pennine routes around here. They do provide the NHS with a boost in kidneys, etc. donations. So best just keep out of their way I find.The driver of National Express bus number 210 on the M40 tonight, tailgating a VW Golf.
It might not have been going as fast as you'd have liked, Mr fking bus driver , but it was overtaking me, and a line of lorries on the inside lane, so I'm not quite sure what you hoped to achieve by driving a millimetre off its bumper, other than putting other road users, and your passengers, in danger.

Knob. I was driving in a shopping centre car park I'm Cluj (Romania) and there were no spaces, so I moved to the side, put my hazards on and was letting my girlfriend and a small child out of the car par to the shopping centre.
There was about 15 feet next to me for cars to pass... idiot in a chavved up Golf pulls up next to me and shouts at me, asked if he speaks English he shouts at me what the F am I doing.... 10 days in Romania... driving standards there make England shenanigans look trivial.

More idiots ignoring red crosses on the M42 this afternoon.
I hope you had the fright of your lives as you rounded the bend on the slip road and found out why there was a red rross above your lane.
One offender was in a Fiat Tipo covered in dealership stickers. Half tempted to report it, as people ignoring lane closures is one of my pet hates - the red cross usually signifies a stationary vehicle or serious amounts of debris in that lane.

I'm usually not in a rush, going with the flow sort of thing but whenever I see a Nationalist Express bus in my rear view mirror (usually bouncing up and down on its suspension as it repeatedly tries to rhino charge the poor sod in front) I drop a cog and squirt off down the road for a few miles. The aim is to get a 'buffer' of other road-users between me and the borderline psychopath who will inevitably be at the wheel.It might not have been going as fast as you'd have liked, Mr f
