Riiiight....been compiling a list. This is a work in progress
:
- Eurosceptics
- middle lane hoggers
- tailgaters
- people who don't move when the traffic light changes to green
- people who walk too slowly and block the pavement
- The Daily Mail and The Daily Express
- anyone using BA Online Checkin to reserve MY favourite seat on the plane before I get a chance to do it
- people who bring crate sized suitcases (and a briefcase, and a big laptop bag) onto the plane as hand luggage using up the space for everyone else
- airline staff who let people do the above
- people who dive into a lift just as it's closing
- lifts where the "close doors and let's get a move on" button has no effect (like in our office
)
- tourists (here in Lisbon) who don't buy pre-payed tram tickets and then all they have is a 20 Euro note
- large groups of the above, delaying the tram for ages
- people who assume that everyone in the world speaks English, and that if they don't, speaking louder or as if to a young child, will help
- English tourists in the Costa del Sol or Algarve who just want "England, but with sun"
- English bars, restaurants and clubs in the Costa del Sol or Algarve that cater to the philistines above
- English people who've lived in Portugal for 20 years, don't speak a word of Portuguese and spend their entire life in English ex-pat bars and clubs.
- English ex-pats anywhere in the world (esp. Dubai) who only go there to hang out with other English people, earn loads of dosh and play golf
- People who play golf, esp. businessmen who do it to "network" but can't play to save their lives, yet have all the gear and a set of clubs that Tiger Woods would be proud of
- Golf
- Golf courses
- people who go skiing for the aprés-ski
- people who go skiiing and can't ski and are proud of it
- people who go skiing and think that a couple of blue runs in the morning, a 3 hour lunch and a couple more blues in the afternoon is "an epic day".
- skiing beginners who get in your way
- people who fall off on the drag lift infront of you
- snowboarders
