amateur Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 i can beat that one nial.... Hows this for pettiness...i hate when people tell your a phone number and use the letter "o" instead of the number "0" (zero) ..."o"7789 6"o"3765... THERE AINT NO letter"O" ON MY PHONE !!!!!! (well, technically there is, but not in the middle of the phone number!!!) I think that this one comes from when BT was GPO telephones, I believe that switchboard operators were required to use "O" instead of zero. I'm sure that it is only relatively recently that "zero" in phone number usage has become commonplace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death from below Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Pet hate.......watching an inbicile lord'd crown court judge sentence a nonce holding over 10,000 indecent images of children on his computer to a six month suspended sentence......over 500 of the images being ones that would honestly make the average bloke vomit.....having cost the tax payers tens of thousands in dosh on a complex police enquiry into internet child pornography....... **** people that don't push crossing buttons or leave their fog lights on. It's been a bad day DFB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 With snow all around, I may well be the idiot tonight, off to a dinner at Birmingham Motor Cycle Museum battling the cars suck in a bit of slush. Common senese tells me to stay at home ..... but I need to tart myself with many of the company people there (if they are not stuck on the M40). Oh well, off to get the shovel and wellies just in case. so, I am going out for a while...............................................................

droid Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 People who turn their rear fog lamps ON at the first hint of mist in September, but don't turn them OFF till December..... Lane 2 Owner/Occupiers...... Chavs who think that fitting a body kit onto their poxy Saxo makes it into a snarling beast. Oh come on! Christmas. Bah Humbug!!! Off to take a blood pressure pill....

myzeneye Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Sorry have to take umbrage with this point but when I ride my bike I leave my taxed car at home, I am therefore effectively paying tax to ride my bike.I do however hate the following: 1. Lycra clad men on racing bikes riding 2 by 2, what self respecting man wears lycra (in public anyway) and if you ride 2 by 2 and you fall off as I go past, I don't care. 2. Fog lights in rain, grrrrrrrrrr 3. Women at cash machines who wait till the front of the queue before searching their bottomless bags for their cash cards and then waiting at the machine to count and put away cash, cards, purse, scarf, hairdryer and all the other **** they carry about with them. 4. In a similar vein, women who wait till they get to the ticket barriers to look for their tickets 5. People who sit in the middle or outside lane and refuse to move despite the inside and middle lanes being empty 6. People who can't be bothered to thank you for letting them out 7. Shop assistants who carry on talking to their mates while you're waiting at the till for them to serve you. There are plenty more but I'm feeling like a grumpy old man and have to stop with the hate so in the past when ive owned motorbikes and paid to tax them ASWELL as my car, ive been been handing the cash to the gpo for no reason ?

Bagsy Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Pet hates.....two of many...... 1. Holding a door open for women who don't bother acknowledging or thanking you 2. Readers letters in the paper from women who complain men no longer have manners as they don't doors open for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr W Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 so in the past when ive owned motorbikes and paid to tax them ASWELL as my car, ive been been handing the cash to the gpo for no reason ? Yep My bike doesn't pollute the air, I don't ride at warp factor 10 everywhere I go, oh and it doesn't have an engine which I think is what qualifies motorbikes to pay tax. Would you prefer I drove my car instead and took up space on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine1980 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I hate Chavs as i work on a door. If they kick off i normally go out of my way to ensure i rip their £120 jumper on the way out, just before they bounce on their chavish cap that they wear. (whilst still attached to their head!!) Lorries are also a pain in the a*s*, they should only beable to travel between 6 at night and 6 in the morning. Cyclists should be shot at birth! All that countryside and they have to ride on the road, normally without lights. But if you run them over its always your fault. !!Pull the pin, Throw and stand back!!!!

Dr W Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Perhaps a little harsh but I do agree that there are some cyclists who give the rest a bad name with their lycra and no road manners but I'm sure they're a long way down the list of those who should be shot at birth.

SHOOTEMUP Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 One of my bugbears is when people go to a pedestrian light controlled crossing and just press the button, without looking to see if anything is coming. It infuriates me to be the only car within 60 000 square miles of the crossing.......slight exag. but you know what I mean. However my heart was lifted when passing a local adult resource centre, where those who suffer from down`s syndrome etc. spend there days, and a gentleman with down`s stood dilligently waiting until I and other cars had passed before pressing the button. I stand by my statement, Common sense isn`t that common..............thank you to those who buck the trend. Now Ladies and Gents, what`s yours ?? I WOULD FAR PREFER IT IF THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE ON THE ROAD !BUT ME £5 on someone saying...."a pint thanks" or similar. This is a KASU 150 Pound pull crossbow thats been used three times, it has a spare string, ten bolts and it has a stirrup attachment to aid you when you cock it, and you certainly need it this bow is powerful!. Its in very good condition but as I no longer get time to shoot it there is no point in keeping it so am selling for £75.00 posted within GB THIS IS NOT A TOY AND IF YOU DONT HAVE A SAFE BACKSTOP OF AT LEAST 400 YARDS ITS POINTLESS YOU BUYING IT, unless of course you use it on a proper archery layout with a very good butt. First to PM me gets it,I can do Pay Pal but 2% needed to cover their fees. Obviously you must be over 18 to buy! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 1/ People (usually women or old folks) who hesitate unnecassarily at junctions or especially at mini-roundabouts causing utter chaos as they dither as to who has right of way. 2/ People who completely stop at junctions or roundabouts when you can see for 200yrds its clear in each direction. 3/ People who use the FAST lane on a motorway to do 50mph. 4/ People who do 30mph on a 60mph road because its the slightest bit 'country' or its Sunday. 5/ People who don't bunch up on fast changing traffic lights to get as many people through as possible. AAARRGGHH!! I can't wait to drive home now!! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
