tonker Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Wedding Present lists, It seems the norm now all from some store that charge the earth, and nothing on it under £100. What happened to being thankful for what you got, and not expecting the earth. Had one recently and it had the reception on it. (Bloody hell).

Scully Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I like this thread, but where to start? So called trendy people who pronounce Tuesday as Toosday, lazy people who say ‘of’ instead of ‘have’, and ‘have went’ instead of ‘ I went ‘. The use of mobile phones whilst driving ( I reported a persistent user for this just recently ), cyclists whom have an arrogant and blatant disregard for other road users... ditto for motorists of a similar outlook...especially tailgaters and middle lane drivers..ethnic minorities whom abuse the status... spitting...people who write ‘ect’ instead of ‘etc’ ( it takes doing as auto spell corrects ect to etc! ) 🙂 Motorists who do 40 mph in a 60 zone, then continue to do 40 when they enter a 30 zone..motorists whom park on the wrong side of the road and leave their lights on, thereby dazzling oncoming traffic...farmers who leave heaps of **** and stones all over the road.....farmers who use trailers with no brake lights, indicators, reflectors or number plates, the load on which is so expanding over the sides it obscures their view through cab mirrors....bad manners....arrogance and bad manners by customers towards restaurant staff....people who abuse/take advantage of their positions of authority....bad parents....indifferent teachers....ect ect ect😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 People who start interviews with 'as a woman...muslim...someone who's black' as if their opinion encapsulates ever member of that demographic. You don't, you represent you, don't think that you're some kind of interview crusader for them and that no one could possibly understand without being in that group. Donald Trump The Democrats' tactics towards Donald Trump BBC filling up the news front page with tripe like 'A banking app helped me beat my addiction' and 'Inside the mind of a groomzilla' Rogue apostrophes Restaurant portions that are inversely proportionate to the price of the meal The infuriating number of the letter I in Bananagrams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Political correctness! And the people who perpetuate it, not because they support or even believe in it, but because it's deemed "right on" in our society to do so! The use of tokenism, quotas and positive discrimination, masquerading as genuine equality in life, that most see through and resent! The current flavour of the month "me too" campaign, where individuals have in the past, sold their 'assets' to those of influence and power in order to climb the greasy pole, and now want to renege on the deal and punish those who kept their side of the bargain!

Yes, the shouty few having more influence and rights than the silent majority. Deviancy being celebrated rather than normalcy. The nanny state knowing what's best for you. Freedom of speech that is anything but. Victimhood culture. PC revisionist history. Etc etc. We are on the slippery slope to a society where we dare not speak our minds, a dark forbidding place that is being sold to us as enlightenment.

DoolinDalton Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 People eating whilst walking along the street (usually a Greggs pasty!), Bad or no manners, litter louts, people who let their dogs **** near my house (and anywhere else) when there's a dog poo bin 15 yards away. Youths with their hands down their jogging pants..I thought it was just a weird Hartlepool thing! Maybe they're just rubbing their conkers in anticipation of the upcoming contests!
