What an insane practice that is........your following someone, you can both see the roundabout is completely clear, you double check nothing is coming, look back assuming you can follow the other party straight onto the roundabout.....and the crazy person infront of you has stopped. =D>:farao:

8-[ ... Ours do... at the end of the day anyway.

I don't use 'em anyway. What bugs me is when people just leave all the teaspoons used in the sink so u have to wash one up to make a cuppa. I always rinse the teaspoon off and leave it to dry on the draining board.

Right, can i clear this up once and for all.

I DONT wash my hands after i pee, ever. Why? Well i know how clean my penis is and where it has been recently, i also dont make a habit of peeing on my own hands.
Test have proven time and time again that the nastiest places in public loos are the tap handles and door handles on the way out.

So my hands are clean going in, clean while touching myself (ooo errr) and risk being covered in nasty bacteria if the touch the taps or the door handle on the way out.

So remind me again...just whay am i supposed to wash my hands after i pee??? :smt045

Whats grinds my gears? People who have clearly done thew wrong thing on the road yet want to have a go at the person who flashed their lights or beeped at them instead of putting their hands up and saying "oopsie, my bad".
That gets my goat!

Yup - I hate that too - also why leave the milk out with the top off if you were last to use it - there is a fridge less than 6 feet away! :-x

Immature little brats that have left school yet think that the same rules apply, that money gives them the right to be complete *****s safe in the knowledge that they cannot be hurt.

Unfortunately for them there are nasty people in the big wide world who will take great pleasure in taking them down a peg or two. And I know where they live :D

This is all out fact:-

It is against one of the asian religions to sit whilst going to the toilet (of any kind). My missus's work place has been trying to deal with this problem for a long time.....they are now installing special urinal type things for the minorities that refuse to sit whilst peeing (and refuse to clean up after themselves).

People that walk slower than me in the street....then they stop & change direction bumping into me as if it's my fault.

People under 5 ft 8 with umbrellas. Should be banned. I'm 5ft 6, I wear a hat, that way I dont' put anyone's eye out with those metal spikes on the end of the brolly.

Being undertaken by moped riders that don't have space to fit in the gap in front of me so I then have to take avoidance action.

Teenage lads in hoodies walking round with large dogs (whether they're on a lead or not).

Teens with mobile phones in the cinema that they have to talk into.

Teens with mobile phones on the tube taht they insist on listening to their tinny music at high volume for the displeasure fo everyone else on the tube.

The "Amourous couple" on hte tube at 7am - you know the ones, they look like they've jsut spent their first night together & they're still petting/grooming/frnch kissing each other oblivious the the fact that it's a cramped tube & you got you face in their arm pits.

The man with bad BO on the same tube - it's 7am why can't you have a shower before leaving for work?



Erm, I appear to be Victor Meldrew.

Can you tell I'm having a bad morning at work?!

A holes who sit in the motorway second lane despite the first being empty for the next 1000 yards.

And their cousins who sit in the third lane doing 70 with the "I am doing the limit" mentality. Followed by the guy behind me flashing his headlights with the get out the way mentality despite the fact that the prat in front is sat at 70. the guy hogging the middle lane wont move over etc.

But what really grinds my gears. Bloody bikers who don't indicate the presence of the nasty men with cameras ahead.


Despite all the above. I still smile when early one morning I was in local motorway roadworks and knew there had been a camera on the bridge for the past week. The road was empty (5:0 am ish) and I was doing 50. in my mirror a car is hammering it oblivious to the camera site about a mile ahead. I deliberately move into his lane and start to get headlights flashing gesticulation etc. I tap my brake lights a few times and move back into the first lane. As he passes alongside me, he glares and I simply point up at the oncoming bridge. He looks, sees, and cheerfully waves his thanks.

Recent company email from the company CEO.

Ladies: I apologise you have to see the following note......

Gents: I don't know about you, but I personally really enjoy having to wipe other mens urine off the toilet seat before using it. So please keep on doing it as it makes for a really pleasurable lavatorial experience...........Lloyd

I know thats why i did it.. lol,;)
why are you using the opposite genders toilets? (dont answer that)
but as i was talking about work place toilets my statemant still stands as female coordination when drunk is another matter, where as some blokes just do it wherever they want either way lol ;)

my toilet at home is worse than any place i have worked. i live with 2 disgusting bachelors who have no concept of the difference between 'toilet' and 'bathroom floor'. but anyway, i am just a girl, i can nag all i want, it won't make a scrap of difference.

Here's a thought .... so in the future how clean will the world have to be when people are able to use stolen dna for use?

btw we have the same problems at my office,

people who dont know that toilet seat is for sitting on not for weeing on,
the sink is covered in filth and dirty dishes,
the fridge has old food in it

and my current pet hate - people who don't say thanks when you hold the door open for them or don't keep the door open for you when you are directly behind them (usually people who have let the promotion go to their heads)

What grinds my gears is my poor gear changing...


Aside from that, it's people that post advice and help on the forum when they don't actually factually know if it is correct or not.

I've seem some blatantly dangerous advice given out over the past couple of years on here. But then I think most people already knew that about me. :lol:

That gets me really badly too. I just undertake up the inside lane nowadays, absolutely no hesitation. And turn and give them a shake of the head on the way past!

As others have mentioned, I also can't stand people who walk along / sit with their mobile phones playing music. Why the **** do they think I want to hear whatever they're listening to? All phones have headphones! :nomore:

Also related to mobiles, why do people walk along with their bluetooth headsets on whilst on the phone - when they're holding the phone in their hand?!

And I hate it when people have their earphones in and I can STILL hear their music! 99% of the time it's people using those rubbish white plastic earphones that Apple supply with their Ipods. I must admit I can't understand why people spend £lots on a nice MP3 player then listen to their music with those things. Get some proper head / earphones and hear the difference!

People in the gym who chat to their mates whilst sitting on the equipment I want to use.

People who say to me, you can afford to have that bacon, egg and sausage sandwich, you're slim :shaking:

People who keep dogs in the flats where I live and let their dogs cr*p on the canalside cos they can't be bothered to take them to a proper dog-walking spot.

Parents who swear at their children. Is it any wonder?

Hmm, I seem to have issues with society. Oh well!
