Pet hates ?

Anonymous

What winds you up or niggles you on the bike.

I hate my arm warmers exposing 1" of upper arm as my sleeves sometimes ride up.
Drizzle.
Bad driving.
New painted white road markings in the wet.
Anticipating busy roundabouts.
frost.

I could go on for hours, I'm such a bloody moan.

My pet hate - unexplained clicks/creaks whilst cycling. Drives me mad.

Rev\'d Gatlin

Kittens, rabbits, budgies and morbid goldfish.

Not being allowed to bludgeon my lazy and or stupid Colleagues.

Tripping over the flex whilst vaccuming; why oh why hasn't someone invented the rechargable vaccum cleaner yet?

The fact that I have a pulled muscle in my shoulder, but have absolutely no idea how I did it...

Bags of sliced bread (seemingly always wholemeal) where the top edge of crust on every slice falls off.
School run traffic. You can tell that a new term has started now that the run into work has become a crawl into work (at one point on today's commute it was so slow that I had to freewheel uphill).
The pink wafers in tinned biscuit assortments.

On the bike I hate having my waterproof stuffed in my back jersey pocket - it always feels like it's making the other two gape open and I find myself checking for my wallet and phone every 100 yards.

Off the bike I hate, hate, hate people proffering opinions on my food. Last week a conversation at work went -

Person - "What you eating?"
Me - "A sandwich"
Person - "What's on it?"
Me - "Roast beef, salad, bit of horseradish"
Person - "Eww, revolting"
Me - " :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: "

On and off the bike I hate the word upgrade. Detest, despise, am sickened by, want to punch whoever mentions it(no, make that torture very, very, slowly to death). A curse and a pox on any and all who even mention this vile word in the future. Thanks for listening.

I really do hate that word.

Pet hate which has nothing to do with cycling is clueless walking and pedestrian positioning in London.

Tourists who stop with a map to work out where they are going at a major intersection of tunnels in the Tube, or at the top of an escalator on the Tube so everyone piles up behind them.
People who stop to have detailed conversations or catch ups in doorways or on a busy corner where the pavement narrows or something like this which forces everyone to try to squeeze past them.
People who stop suddenly casuing a mini pile up on the pavement.

People of London! We live in a very busy city! If you have something to do, a conversation to have, or something to look at, get yourself out of the way of other people who are still trying to get somwhere then proceed with your conversation, direction finding, text messaging etc.

And another major gripe is people who walk one way whilst looking the other.

Sometimes this happens in supermarkets or shops, people start to look at something but fail to stop walking so carry straight on into other people whilst looking over their shoulders. Parents who wheel pushchairs in one direction whilst looking behind them shouting at another of their brood and crash into me. People who pass someone and begin having a conversation with that person as they walk away, turning to face the opposite direction to which they're walking, again scattering other people walking along or crashing into them.

My advice again, if there is something you want to look at stop, turn to face it, move towards it, take a look, then move away at will!

Grrrr...

passout

People who moan about 'the state of the country'; they make simplistic conclusions based on the premise that things only get worse and don't realise that they are the problem.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be!

Also over cheery weathermen.

That does sound bad. Horseradish, even a bit is a vile concoction.

I luuuurve horseradish, English mustard, wasabi, kurashi etc etc pretty much anything mustardy with fire in it. There's nothing like a mustard sandwich, or horseradish on toast etc etc.

Only Mercedes drivers? IME just about every driver on the road has this problem at some time or other....

It's a contrived persona, to keep anxiety & depression at bay. He had some kind of nervous breakdown during teen years. Just don't mention the colour black, especially during broadcasts...

Carefull passout. Don't generealise about a particular group. You know how dangerous that is.

I have a real snobbish, superior, pet hate about people who think they know history just because they're smart.

I get irritated that while someone with a good science degree is considered some authority on their chosen subject, a historian gets no such luck in day to day discussions.
