    Cycling wise, it's the bloody wind.

    Long and boring day at work, just want a nice ride home to chill out - soon as you get onto the road, hit by relentless headwind that has no mercy and you can't hide. Cue lots of expletives.

    Omnipresent winds...
    I like that. I shall remember that term. :D Don't put Cheshire on your shortlist of places to move to. We have plenty of omnipresent winds.

    I so had to reply to this! I really thought I was the only one who hated football. And a large proportion of the overpaid thugs who "play" the game.

    And why is it that the sports pages of newspapers are not called the football pages?

    Motorists who park in a normal row of parked cars and switch their feckin hazards on, outer one only visible to everyone approaching who inevitably wonder "is that tw@t about to pull out or what?". Retarded Emmerdale-watching landfill-in-f**king-waiting. They're even a menace when they're stationery.

    Cyclist-wise my pet hate is when people cycle on a narrow section of road where a car could force their way past but not very safely. Motorist correctly waits for a safer piece of road to overtake on but the cyclist doesn't even have the courtesy to pedal and just rolls along at a really slow pace. The next time the driver is in a similar situation they might decide to take a different course of action and push past rather than sit behind.

    People who make lazy generalisations.

    Example: football is a sport played by thugs.

    Lazy. And you ought to be ashamed!

    People who eat with their mouth open.

    1) When will people understand that, if something like celery or an apple is enjoyable because it is crunchy, it is only enjoyable to the eater. I don't need to hear it as well.

    2) Once food goes into a mouth for mastication, then it is completely churned. The only remaining process is to be sucked dry of vitamiins, calories, goodness, etc. It is therefore one step away from being a turd. Why would I want to see such a vision why I eat my meal?

    Through many years of reflection, meditation and just growing-up, I have reduced the once - enormous list of things that annoyed me down to just two:-

    1) Living things
    2) Inanimate objects.

    Football fans who refer to their team as "we". We were playing really well in the 1st half, we was robbed, etc. Were you on the pitch? Maybe even on the bench? No, you were sitting on your arse, eating a bag of Doritos, watching it on the TV. Stop doing it!

    Cycling related hate has to be the bad drivers, the below types in particular

    - The ones who just don't see you at all, they pull out of a junction or roundabout right into your path then look really shocked when you shout at them while your inches from their front bumper

    - The ones who overtake you when you're keeping pace with the traffic, usually at about 20mph, they've got nowhere to go and either brake hard in front of you or have to pull back in behind you. Just fecking wait will you!

    - The worst are the dangerous d!ckheads who try to deliberately buzz you or as happened to me once, actually hit you.

    So yeah, it's bad drivers then

    Or those that pull right across you then finally see you and stop as if that is somehow going to help!

    That quote irritates me.

    They've clearly never been out in town when a rugby team turns up, invariabley dressed up as women and with some guy walking around with a 'sick bucket' tied to his back, making jokes about homosexuals and gay sex.
