    Tone deaf people who try to whistle along to a song and just make a horrible noise.

    Why is it the wife can use the vacuum 10 times in a row and put it back in the cupboard right after use each time, but its only "full" after I use it once?

  • Groups of friends/family walking on the pavement towards me, taking up the width of the pavement, who don't give me space and essentially force me off the pavement. You see your group is taking up the whole pavement and you see someone is walking towards you, but you don't give a f*ck.

    People walking on a busy pavement ahead of me in the same direction, who suddenly stop.

    People standing around talking to each other on a busy/narrow pavement, forcing everyone to manoeuvre around them.

    People standing on the "walking" side of an escalator. Seriously?

    People walking slowly ahead of me, side by side, taking up the whole width of the passageway. Get the f*ck out of my way, there's a queue behind you!

    People who spell queue as "que".

    As far as groups taking up the whole path, why not just stop walking and then see what they do? Although, make sure you dont stop in front of someone else walking behind you as thats just a cvnts trick.

    Dog owners who allow their unrestrained mutts to slobber over other people's children - "aw look, 'ee's only being friendly" - morons.

    If I catch the fecker who watched his animal take a dump in my drive yesterday...

    Dogs being allowed to take a dump anywhere while their owners watch and then pretend to pick it up.

    I watched a big dog have diarrhea in a puddle yesterday while its owner stood there with a carrier bag watching. Didn't see him pick it up as I was past him by then but he would have had more luck with a straw.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    Stepped in some dog sh*t a couple of days ago while repairing a puncture. That really made my day..

    I rode through some just as I was stopping to repair a puncture. No fun getting the tyre off.

    I feel your pain. :( The lanes around here are peppered with horse sh*t. The riders seem to think it's OK as "we're in the country" but it's no fun having to deal with a bike problem. Even worse when a car blasts through a fresh batch and sprays anyone unlucky enough to be nearby. :evil:

    Horse dung I don't mind. It's chiefly grass after all. Good for the flower bed!

    But faeces from carnivores is pretty rank. My particular problem is cats.

    Tyres are not the problem, its the line of it sprayed up your back if you don't have mudguards. Makes you look and smell like pepe le pew

    People who say " he won't hurt you"

    @ that bit me the day before then?

    Come to think of it - not so trivial

    Why several days of rain and some brisk winds during the winter, in a landmass dominated by Atlantic lows, is treated like the end of the world. :?

  • Walking down a path wide enough for three abreast. So three abreast are coming the other way. I keep over to the left hand size, do they move? Do they like hell, I'm forced with actually just walking straight into someone to prove a point, or taking to the grass.

    This bugs the sh*t out of me. And families are the worst! It's like they are saying "Oh, it's SO much trouble looking after kids, we just have so much more right to space than you do, you would know if you had kids yourself, bla bla.." As if large families were something that had been imposed on them against their will, rather than a self-indulgent choice on an over-populated planet.

    People wanting sponsorship for giving up alcohol for a month. Really?! Why not just do it quietly and give the money you don't spend on beer to a charity of your choice without bothering the rest of us. Oh of course, that would mean you wouldn't get to have a circle-jerk session with your facebook friends over it and be able to bore the t1ts off anyone at work saying how much of a sacrifice it is.

    I hope my trivial drivel isn't annoying any of you.

    Thickos leaving reviews on Amazon:
    I haven't watched this yet but the last disc I got from Amazon was quite good so I'm sure this will be too. 3 stars.

    Plus the way it mixes up reviews especially for DVDs. It's not like eBay where you leave feedback for specific items but it seems to aggregate them so it's often hard to find the right item - and leads to people leaving feedback about poor service from one seller apparently on the page of an unrelated seller.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    When people use the word 'issue' to mean 'problem'. The verbal equivalent of beige.

    People who let their kid's push the shopping trolly in a rammed full supermarket should be subjected to an instant death sentence.
