What is your biggest pet hate?
To start off then,
People who blatantly cut you up in traffic, drive over zebra crossings with people waititng etc, Who then wave to you in acknowledgment that they knew exactly what they did was wrong but hey, F@ck you anyway, I'm in a car!
Again, please keep this non-bike related, Plenty of bike rants on the forums as it is.

I feed my pet hate on Arrgh Nuts.

My inability to remember that the sign on shop door that says 'PUXE' which is pronounced PUSH in Portuguese means pull :roll:my isetta is a 300cc bike0

People who start a thread with a question ((on this or any other forum) and then never respond to any of the replies.0

Drivers who can't be bothered to indicate.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

People who click their fingers at you (to get your attention)
It will almost instantly send me into an near incandescent rage. The sheer arrogant rude condescension it implies is genuinely too for me to bear. I'm normally a pretty easy going kind of person but that will drive me nuts.Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

No matter how long I leave a saucepan on the drainer after washing, when I lift it to put back on the ceiling mounted hanger thing, a bit of water runs down my arm! :evil:0

People who use terms such as "The whole time" "No worries" "Funky" this and "Funking" bleeding that and other such shite talk. "I,m in a really good place" thats another one.Being referred to as "Fella" starts an inner seethe.Will probably be back with some more in a bit,finding this quite cathartic!0

people...who when you tell them you cycle they get defensive and tell you they don't drive their car much.
people...who when you tell them you don't drink they get defensive and tell you they don't drink much.
people...who when you tell them you don't own a TV they get defensive and tell you they only watch the news.
people...who when you tell them you are vegetarian they get defensive and tell you they eat lots of steak.
STOP BEING DEFENSIVE, HAVE THE STRENGTH TO STAND BY YOUR OWN CONVICTIONSmy isetta is a 300cc bike0 -

The modern trend of people talking with a rising intonation at the end of each sentence, thus making everything they say sound like they're asking you a question.___________________________________________

The overuse of the term 'issue' is a particular bugbear of mine. Nothing's a problem any more, it's an issue.
People who leave tons of clutter in their passenger footwells. I open the door to get in and I can't because I need to shift a load of CDs/books/phone chargers/bags/empty drink bottles and other shite first.
Misuse of the possessive apostrophe. WHY do people not get that?0 -
As highlighted ALL FLAMING MORNING.
People in the office who have the sound turned on their company laptop in an open plan office, which means every email, every lync message, every reminder it goes !PING!
Who use the speaker phone in an open plan office
Who shout across desks in an open plan office
Who have the most ridiculous ring tones on their phone and have it LOUD, in an open plan office.
Who leave their phone on their desk so it rings and rings and rings, in an open plan office.
Oh, all this is one person.
If he clicks his fingers, I may kill him.Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

when driving, people who do not say thanks when you let them through a gap. Drives me insane. How hard can lifting a finger off the steering wheel be.0

Hope they don't let you near anything sharp where you work.0 -
No. That person really does deserve to die. And his children, if he's contributed anything to the gene pool.someone wrote:SmoggySteve wrote:People in the office who have the sound turned on their company laptop in an open plan office, which means every email, every lync message, every reminder it goes !PING!

People that are easily distracted.0 -
As the great Jean-Paul Sartre said, "Hell is other people"
Anyway, my pet hate is people with dogs who think everyone should love their dog, even though (like all dogs) it's smelly, dirty, stupid and ugly. They think it's OK to let their festering sh17-bucket of an animal come up and lick you, paw you and bark at you ("He's just being friendly"), then they let it cr&p all over the place and don't clear it up properly.
Oh, and I don't like people with bad table manners either. Especially if they have a dog.
It's just a hill. Get over it.0 -
Grown men who will wear any crap clothing because someone told them its fashionable (those stupid slip on french shoes, alter neck t-shirts and those stone wash jeans with elasticated ankle cuffs). It may be fashionable in the future to wear a red nose, curly ginger wig and spinning bow tie, but you will still look like a clown."Let your life rule your job, not your job rule your life"

I can't help reading this without my inner voice going into Australian interrogative tone inflection mode!0 -
The huge number of people who appear not to know the difference between the use of "to" and "too."
It takes a couple of hours to teach it at primary school level.
Shame on all you forum users who weren't paying attention!!!___________________________________________
