The People's Chimp Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 People riding bikes along the pavement; okay in a small village when the culprit is age 10; not okay in a busy city when the moron is about 25, listening to headphones, in the dark/heavy rain/both, and without lights.

maroonlegions Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I hate womens handbags i.e. 'here bird where are the house keys?' 'they are in my handbag' que 4 hours of rummaging through the bottom-less pit that is a handbag, pushing aside all manner of ****e (do you really have to have a meals worth of food in your bag at any one time?) and never actually finding the goddamn keys. I always end up handing it back for the lady to dip her paw in and pull them out instantly. :). my wife knows the score with me if i ask her were something is and if she says "HANDBAG",then its a no go area for me, fecking ridiculous amount of junk to allow to accumulate.

Louise Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I ****ing hate the folk that don't understand the lanes at Drumbrae roundabout. The amount of times I have been beeped at when I know FOR A FACT that I am in the correct place is unreal. When you are approaching from either side of the A8: Left (bus lane) -> left and middle Right lane -> right but everyone goes into the middle from the right, it's so infuriating!!

Louise Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I like (and agree) with the post about folk who wear trainers with their suits on the way into the office. Not really sure why it annoys me so much but it does.....just looks absolutely ridiculous. Surely if your shoes are not comfortable enough to be wearing whilst walking to your work you should perhaps consider buying some comfier shoes or seeing a chiropodist. this made me really laugh because I see these folk every day and think to myself how stupid they look, but I don't understand how you can get annoyed about it, it doesn't affect you in any way lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Traffic related too. If car emissions are a major cause of global warming we should be trying to reduce them. Therefore surely it is a bad idea to have the majority of urban motorists sitting idling at traffic lights. The only way to get through 2 sets of lights is to break the speed limit. Who organises this chaos? Also, if you let cars through 3 or 4 lights, they are therefore going to get to their destination sooner, thus cutting down the amount of cars on the road, reducing congestion and accidents. Jeez it's not rocket surgery. Why do I have to look at a green man at 2 in the morning when I can't see another living soul. Seriously, does anyone know why anybody thinks this is a good way to manage traffic flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here's another West of Edinburgh traffic one. Coming towards the Gogar Roundabout on the east-bound A8 at 5.30pm there will be a queue of traffic on the underpass. It is single lane leading up to it and single lane leaving it, but dual in the underpass itself. All civilised people wait in the queue. However there are always the complete tossers who think they have more of a right to get home and have their dinner and see their families than I do. I refuse to let these folk in, and as a result have had some pretty heated run-ins, including some absolute barbarian woman in a van threatening to cut off all my hair! If you are one of these people, I'm in the red Rover, I'll be waiting for you .. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are one of these people, I'm in the red Rover, I'll be waiting for you .. ! Its called a lane merge, you should use both lanes. Their right your wrong and if you refuse to let them in and cause damage to their car you will party at least some blame to the insurers for not driving within the rules of that road. Maybe stupid to have that sort of road layout but that is how it is and I dont see how you can blame people for driving as they should on it.

Louise Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I don't agree, as like I said it is single lane going in as well, so going out into the right hand lane then back in is not going to save anyone any time, as the same amount of cars are leaving in single file as entering. Taxis ok, they have someone paying a fare, buses have a lot of folk and a timetable, fair enough, but anyone else that does it is simply a smart arse. in MY opinion.

Legend Claws Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I totally respect my elders and always have done/will and will always give up my seat etc. But one thing really gets my goat and that is when they act like they have the right to cut in front of you for the bus. Just this morning an elderly gent came from the back of the queue, jumped in front of me waving his pass if everyones face! If I see an elderly person coming from the side to get on the bus I will stop and let them on everytime without fail. But the next time one cuts in front of me without any acknowledgement I am going to remind them about the workings of a queue and indeed manners!

What are you having for lunch, it's interchangeable with what are you making for your dinner when you get home, what are you watching on the tube tonight etc etc. I also can't stand every morning coming in and being asked what I got up to last night, and then having to ask back out of politeness.

Drew Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Short folk taking all the seats on planes with a semblance of legroom. Having to pay to pay for a plane ticket (Ryanair is particularly guilty of this, ?8 to pay for the thing with a credit card and who owns these mystical visa electron cards anyway?) Folk that cannot be overtaken on the motorway (ie, you pass them at 50mph and they all of a sudden wake-up and are past you within a minute). Most people who drive for a living and assume that they therefore own the road. The lane merging thing - it seems more considerate to sit in the queue rather than skip past people. Although when a series of cars refuse to let people in, this makes it all worthwhile; watching them sit there trying desperately to get into the open lane. People who assume superiority over others for no good reason. People who think just because they get pished every night that they are by default "good fun".
