The pet hate thread

OK, I am bored today, what things really get on your nerves?

For me, there is a bloke in our office who I rarely speak to, who sounds like Donald Duck when he laughs. WTF???

Middle Lane Morons annoy me as well - people who stick to the middle or right hand lanes on motorways, and wont get the hell out of your way.

I'm sure I'll think of some more at some point, anyone else got any pet hates?

 

Religious fanatics, they scare me as well as annoying me.

Politicians

Middle/Outside Lane Morons.

Teenagers.

PC

Rap

Tinnitus

BMW haters

Knobs, err snobs.

 

People who *think* they're "mad" and it makes them oh so cool!

"well, i'm mad innit"

"yea mate, jusy K-raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy"

Tosser.

 

chavs

 

Oh Paul you'll gona regret starting this one, I take it there is no limit. (do we have to give reasons for every one?)

Ok a list
Chav's, well that doesn't need explaination really
On the fencers, people who just agree, look have an opinion for gods sake!
Work, why am I here again?
Radio 4, because the Mrs has it on ALL the time!
The Beatles, what is all the fuss about?
Kids, enough said on that one.
Buses, cos they're crap.
The UK, the weather sucks, amoungs other things.
Religion, look there is NO god ok!
Rich Snobs, people who think they're better then "ordanary" people cos they have moeny.
People with no back bone, most of our manager here then.

I think that'll do for now.

 

No limit at all lhatkins. A good ol' rant is most definitely encouraged!

 

Middle lane morons, as mentioned.

Caravans.

'Chelsea tractors' (large 4x4s totally unsuited for town driving, used for the school run, usually driven by mothers who care for nobody else on the road, lest little daisy and dear matthew be a minute late for registration, despite her setting out at 4 minutes to 9, with a 6 mile journey to school....such vehicles include the BMW X5 and Mercedes M class)

Zealots and extremists (usually the most annoying zealotry is something to do with religious views/political views/animal rights/abortion/football/mana).

Speed cameras, when hidden/concealed/on a road that does not need a camera!

Chavs/Kevs

Cider :chunder:

 

Tailgaters! I had one this morning. A blonde bimbo in a Polo or something 3 feet from my back bumper. We went through 30, 40 and 60 limits and there she was the whole time. In the end I got so pissed off I stopped the car - gently of course - and turned round to glare at her before pulling away again. She still didn't get the message! Why isn't an IQ test included in the driving test?

 

Led Zeppelin and its ilk
Rap
The current United States Administration
Con artists who sell magical hi-fi tweaks that deliver jaw-dropping improvements in performance
Most people's instruction books
Spiders
My inability to afford Quad ESLs
The general inability to get Cadbury's Fruit & Nut and Flake and fish & chips in Swizzieland



and far, far more than any of these...


Alarm clocks.

To me, heaven is a place with no alarm clocks.

 

Would you like us to post you some? Or we can think of you while we enjoy them

 

football bores.
golfers.
4x4 drivers in the town.
lamb.
dog owners who think you appreciate being slobbered over, groin-snuffled and leg-shagged by their mangy mutts.
pet owners who give their animals human names (Fido good. Dave bad)
people who walk really slowly (let's have fast lanes on London pavements).
people who are taller and better looking than me.
religion.
politicians.
everything else.

Just a small selection of things that piss me off.

People who stand in queues at shops and don't bother looking out the cash/cards until the assistant has rung it all up. You've been stood there for 5 minutes get yourself organised! Same applies to people at bus stops.

People who stop dead in front of you in the street to stare at something or answer their mobile phones.

Tourists, especially large groups of them taking up the whole pavement and walking so slowly they're almost going backwards.

Employers who fail to notify you that you were unsuccessful in your job application. How hard is it to send a short email thanking applicants for their interest and to stop you wondering what happened.

Employers who fail to respond to your enquires regarding an advertised position. Or who haven't bothered to check the details of their advert i.e incorrect email addresses/phone no.s

 

London

 

Football and footballers ad infinitum

Middle lane morons yet again

Arrogance.

Telephone sales people who can't understand the word no.

NTL (and others) for making it impossible to speak to the person you need to without being transferred less than 5 times.

 

People who bid on an eBay auction without reading it.

 

Actually, my real peeve isn't with people who don't like London (wrong though they are), but with hayseeds who move here from some provincial wasteland in order to find work and then spend all their time whinging about how unfriendly/expensive/noisy/multi-cultural it is. They should be expelled at gunpoint and stop cluttering the place up in my view. Better yet, build a fortified fence around the 0207 dialling code area and deny them entrance at all.

My mad nieghbour

 

Did someone mention people in queues who faff about? Yes. They are bad. But people who play r'n'b in cars at 130db (it's always r'n'b, isn't it?) and cause the ground to shake are worse.
