Little things that annoy you.....

passout

Adults who ask questions that are impossible to answer. For instance when the phone rings my wife asks 'who's that now?' but I can forgive that, unlikle this next impossible question.

My colleague once asked me 'what's a matter passout, you think your sh*t don't stink?'. What do you say - 'No, I don't think that my own sh*t stinks', or 'yes it does... terribly'? After a pause I just swore at him but a lack of a clever answer haunted me for literally minutes. What should I've said any suggestions?

Sounds like your colleague was trying to shoehorn that phrase into conversation because he liked the sound of it! Doesn't quite work in that context does it!?

May I be so bold as to ask what a camel toe is?

Good call on the "Wearing a watch on the right wrist", also wearing a watch below the wrist rather than on it, or, using one of those leather covers over the watch, or, excessively loose watches

I don't wear a vest, I wear a "base" layer!

I'd like to add:

"Mr T" jangly jewelry
Piercings on men
Piercings on small children
Piercings other than ears on women

Hang on a minute on the watch thing. Some of us are left handed you know. You can't put your watch on your left wrist with your left hand! What about people who wear watches with the face on the inside of the wrist? Never got that.

How about drivers who don't indicate when they can see you giving way - at junctions but it irks me more at roundabouts. I seem to have got to the point now where i pull out if they're not indicating. Some have the audacity to pip their horn. Well, if you're not gonna let me know what you're doing...

This gets on my nerves too. Was driving the other day behind someone in a 50mph zone. They're doing 40mph. I'm fine with this. Then we get to a 30mph zone, I slow down but they carried on at 40mph. I'm not fine with this. Totally illogical.

fluff.

See that alot, main culprit is older (they usually wear flat caps in the car) drivers as far as i can tell,, they have 2 speeds 40mph and 0. Maybe they didn't have any of those fancy pants `inbetween speeds' in their day..

Not sure if this has been covered or not but add it to the list of not: drivers who do a right turn from a side-street *right in front of you* like you don't exist, even though they've obviously seen you, and making you break hard or attempt to go up the gap they've left in the gutter. Happening alot to me lately.

what really annoys me is when people ask foir the time while pointing to their wrist...yes prick i've got a watch wheres yours? what would happen every time we need the toilet and ask where its is while pointing to our crotch!

The word 'like' being used every other word

Custom cars. A Renault Clio doesn't need a gull-wing spoiler or dustbins for exhausts when it ha a 1.1L engine

Putting on a sweaty helmet on after the cake stop. yuuuck!

cheap, un-original American style TV advertising.

The compensation culture
(the ads - there's always a catch)

People phoning me up and saying "congratulations you've won a holiday, please ring this number to claim your prize"

When my laptop says "low battery", I carry on and just as I'm about to finish what I'm doing it shuts itself down, it couldn't just give me that last 30 seconds!

Passout - i am quite immature so I would have responded with something along the lines of "almost on par with your breath".

he/she couldnt really respond, instead they would probably walk away cupping their hand over their mouth trying to smell their own breath!

schlepcycling: that wikipedia page on camel toes is hilarious!!

The male version of this is referred to as a "moose knuckle." - hahahaha, i will have to try and pop that one into general conversation!!!!

I was riding along a road the other day and I noticed that whoever had replaced the drain covers had put them so that the white lines painted over them ran at 90 degs to the road and the lines they were supposed to run in line with.

Just sloppy, didn't annoy me that much but I know I couldn't have left the job done like that.

Realising that I've not undone the zip in the top of my jersey as it's stuck half way over my head and my arms pinned inside the sleaves!

If you have QR skewers you can use them as type levers, the thumb lever that you use to close and open the skewer makes a good tyre lever.

Already mentioned - bike snobs. Just because I sometimes ride my converted mountain bike with old yellow wheels I found in the loft, along with panniers and whilst wearing baggy shorts does not make me a worse cyclist than you on your shiny road bike or MTB wearing your full cycling gear - whats wrong with a smile instead of blanking me you miserable to**ers???

1) my inability to do one of those ear piercing whistles using my fingers

2) my inability to pull even a rubbish wheelie. I blame this on the fact I grew up on a Raleigh Grifter, I swear those tubes were filled with concrete.

3) The big neutral on the Grifter twist grip. It's why I've got a false front tooth.

Other peoples lane violations at roundabout on dual carriageways! This annoys me so much when driving to work, I work in Milton Keynes so I get into the office in a hell of a rage!!

Road splits into three lanes at the junction, left for left, middle for straight on, and right for straight on or right......... even the arrows on the roads show this.

So why do people think that by using the middle lane at the junction they also have to use the middle lane on the roundabout???? Use the f*cking left lane on the roundabout, go on please, no one else is using it!

The bricklayers/carpenters carrying tools on their Halfords MTB, saddle too high, gear too big. They then up the ante and sit behind you squeaking for miles if you dare to over take them.

Ok, its a big thing I guess....

The thousands of scummers in Britain. Just went down to Tesco and some young kid just walked out with his mum and chucked his empty macdonalds cup into the air, stamped on it and walked off with her. Without even looking at him his mum was like "that was naughty" he just grunted and they carried on walking. Couldn't believe it. No "go and pick it up and put it in the bin", they just walked off. Fkin Jade Goodys everywhere. I went down on my bike and was thinking thats just the kind of kid who would stick his foot through your spokes while its locked up outside the shop. Was rushing around tesco quick sharp after thinking that. Makes me so angry.

on the road

Middle lane hoggers on the motorway. The motorway is completely empty and they choose to drive in the middle lane, why?

on the road

People who picnic or barbeque in the park and leave their rubbish strewn all over the grass because they are too lazy to carry it to the bin :x

cyclists who think every other cyclist wants to say hello - some do and some don't: c'est la vie

cyclists obsessed with what kit people have and their standard of cycling/ability to climb: get over the fact that some people spend more than they need to on bikes and gear
