People who see a football thread in Cake Stop and come on to the thread just to tell us all that they don't like football. :roll: :roll:

I do that

Did I tell you I don't like football?

Blokes that are too familiar at urinals. :shock:

A friend of my next door neighbour was telling me how Jimmy Savile had once started chatting to him at the urinals. I bet he won't be telling that story any more.

Football is for fucktards and the fucktards won't listen no matter how loud you shout.

But telling someone to type 'world wide web' into an address bar would mean the address wouldn't work. You don't need to tell them the 'www.' bit anyway, as modern browsers work perfectly well without it.

Marvin would know that.

It's not generally the person in hospital "getting a hundred grand's (sic) worth of treatment" that are complaining; it's the visitors who have to park their cars.
So everyone in hospital has a "self-inflicted illness?" Have you always been a picture of health? Never had a cold or an accident? Oh, and if ever you find yourself in hospital for whatever "self-inflicted" reason, remember to tell the doctors or nurses to sod off until you stump up the cash.
People don't visit hospitals for fun, they do it because they care about their loved ones. Some of these people can't afford the 3-4 quid every day for weeks on end.
And it may surprise you to learn that hospital car parks aren't exclusively used by BMW drivers.

F uck you.

When I'm at the supermarket checkout with over 30 items of various sizes and shapes and the checkout girl asks" do I need a bag?"

Seriously, how else am I going to get all this to my car at the far end of the carpark?

Then to be even more annoying, she always gives me just 2 carrier bags. When it's blatantly obvious that the quantity of things I have bought will not fit into just 2 bags. Everytime she always has to give out more bags, so why not give out an ample amount to start with?

Is this Tescos way of cutting costs ( a whole 1p per carrier bag, despite the fact I giving them £50) ?

ben@31

Austerity measures.

I've been absolutely rodgered by gov't cutbacks, at home and at work. Yet the economy is still missing targets and they are still having to borrow money. The amount of suffering has not been proportional to the amount of economic improvement.

"We are all in this together"....





... Apart from the Royal Bank of Scotland and Starbucks.

Did I say everyone in hospital has a self-inflicted illness? No, but having a self-inflicted illness never made anyone any less likely to whine about the parking charges, the prescription charges, or anything else.

And if you can afford to run any car, BMW or not, then you can afford to pay to park it and not whine about wanting the NHS to subsidise your car use with money that could be better spent providing care to your loved ones.

Why are council owned carparks so expensive. I mean, surely there's no running costs to a carpark, so where does the money go? Greed.

By the way, if you were to stay a few hours in a carpark for shops like Aldi and you got what looks like a fine through the post, you must ignore it as they can't enforce it and have NO power to prosecute. Its a trick of theirs to send mock fines through the post to scam the really stupid gullible people of their £40. Only the council and police can enforce a parking fine.

Since they have introduced a 5p charge for bags in wales, most people bring their own, in fact it must be a shoplifters boon

B.M.R.

People who decide that my car looks lonely when I've parked in a quiet bit of the car park, and park right next to me making it hard to get back in despite there being 50 billion free spaces all around.

PCN - Penalty Charge Notice => pay it

At the supermarket checkout, just a couple of items and the checkout person sez "do you need a hand with your packing?" :roll:
One day, I will say "yes please"

On this forum when people are generally talking about everyday cycling and referring to it as a sport.

eg:

And what are your reasons for picking the sportup?

I think the responses so far just prove how eclectic and inclusive this sport is.
I thank the guys who are interested in the sport ...

1. Get off your bike.
2. Sell your bike.
3. Go find another sport.

Traffic lights that change to green for the Morrisons car park then change to green for the funeral directors. Why do they do this when there is no traffic at 5am. Why can't they have a sensor.

People who stir their coffee then my tea.

Pop up ads.

Handbags that have their own seat on the train

All traffic lights should be on sensors really, depending on how many cars are there waiting.

Bl00dy annoying sitting there waiting for nobody. Waste of fuel too.

Peddle Up!

Some tins that open with ring-pulls. You need Terminator fingers to move the little tinkers.

Things in car glove boxes or door pockets that roll about and make a noise. Not good.

Maybe it helps keep the annual Council Tax rises down to more manageable increases.

Especially if someone presses the button and then nips across the road in between the traffic without waiting for the green man. They are usually well on their way before the lights have changed to red to let them cross.

Something else that I have come to loathe recently is the current trend for songs to be covered by female vocalists who insist on 'speaking' the lyrics in a breathy, husky voice. Seems to be popular on car adverts just now - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for instance.

a few on here need to get on their bikes more-- cars are very frustrating in more ways than you think ---contemplation whilst cycling is good, whilst stuck in traffic --not good

Ooh, yeah, that would be up there.

I particularly hate roundabouts with traffic lights - either make them a junction or make them a roundabout. I don't mind at peak times when clearly there is a need to control the flow - but they need to be turned off the rest of the time.

That's one thing the American's have right - some junctions turn into give way junctions at night - all the lights are flashing but you can keep going if there is no other traffic.

I second that. I remember when it was snowing last year. Where ever I was, the youths thought it was great. I thought a friend of mine had to drive to Aberdeen to go work offshore, if he can't get there he won't get paid. I work at an airport, if it snows bad I get handed a shovel and told to get digging.

Them youths must have it so easy and worry free.

Leaving my road shoes at home while I'm away for 5 days means I can't do ANY cycling.

The trouble with cars is that they're self-powered - so you get where you're going and you're tired, but without the sense of achievement that you get by pedalling yourself there. And while we're on the subject . . .

People who ask "what are you driving?" shortly after being introduced. Why do they care? Come to think of it, this is people who baffle me, not annoy me. Someone start the "What completely baffles you?" thread.
