People who walk up (or down) escalators. Thus in one act, insulting every designer and engineer who worked their fingers and brains to the bone to design stairs you DON'T have to walk up/down and at the same time barging past the rest of us with our/their shopping bags getting entangled.
/half-jest mode

I'll make a deal with you. I won't try to force you to walk up the escalators by shoving and pushing you if you don't try to force me to stand still by standing on BOTH sides of the escalator rather than on one! lol
Oi, what are you saying about me standing on both sides? I'm not THAT big!
bolt
No indeed and if ever we meet on an escalator I shall happily offer to carry your bags of shopping for you as recompense for any unintended suggestion that you are! :lol:
People who have cases/suitcases that has wheels on, they carry them down stairs, then stop right at the bottom to put the case down and pull the handle up, rather than walk forward a few more feet, and be considerate to those following.
Ebay allowing buyers to rate me for delivery time when I DONT DELIVER THE PRODUCT MYSELF. Why cant they just phone Royal mail/Parcel force and have a whine like everyone else lol
Buyers on Ebay who dont read the listing asking questions like "will you post it" When it specifically says "No postage no couriers local pick up only"
Foreign Ebay buyers who think that Parcel2go offering a very cheap international postage rate means that I should use them and sit in for a possible 48 hours whilst I wait for them to pick up the package. I do have to work pick up the kids get shopping etc etc you know :mad:

Now is that a statement about me or observation of others bolt
I am getting fed up with seeing the word 'free' and some kind of cost related to its use applied within the same advertisement.
How much longer do we go on ignoring or getting used to this contradiction?
Isn't it just a plain old lie?

Think Duncan means things like, get a free mobile phone when you have to pay a £30 a month contract to get it.

And all those 'free' channels on Sky. If they were actually free I wouldn't have to pay £30 a month to get them. They aren't even free on free-sat or whatever - you still have to buy the means to receive them, ie the box, so they still aren't free.
what pisses me off is needing to speak to four people on phone to get a home visit from the out of hours doctor!!!
#1 - a man who takes all the details then passes me onto
#2 - a nurse who takes all the details again... tells me I shall be phoned back in a few minutes..
an hour and half passes... phone rings...
#3 - another nurse who asks me all the same things that i have already told the other 2... she then says a doctor shall phone in a few minutes..
another hour and half passes... phone rings...
#4 the doctor - who ... yes you guessed it~~ asks me all same questions again, then says can I take my mum to the hospital to be seen... no I say... the reason I rang over 3 hours ago was that district nurse wanted her seen at home...
so the outcome was that 5 hours after the first call she got seen finally...
I am finally calm about it all. Just glad that all the doctor had to do was adjust mums morphine intake, and it wasnt an actual dire emergancy!!
The fact I can make/cook anything except pastry. Shop bought ready made stuff comes out lovely -
my own comes out looking like a 3 year olds first attempt in the kitchen banghead
Goes away muttering about the price of shop bought ready roll pastry and warm hands mad
Things that piss me off....
1 things that other people say
2 things that other people do
apart from that I'm quite tolerant

Sorry for being picky minxy, but isn't 999 used for emergencies and calling the doctor out is for less serious cases. It is very rare for a 999 to take 5 hours but there will always be the exception to the rule somewhere.

Younger folk (God I must be getting old) who like to walk around in the pouring rain pretending its not raining. Ever see anyone under 25 with a brolly? they even walk about in sports attire with hoods and dont put the hoods up dunno The Mums outside little Tweekys school stand smoking soggy fags like it was 80.F and the rain is pissing off their heads and running down their faces lol Its like its not cool to keep dry or something these days :huh:

Odd socks from the washing, where do all the others go?

T'is an . My theory is that they end up lodged behind radiators. Or is that just the pair of old man pants we found behind our living room rad when we moved in to this house? :shock:

Ours all appear to be in the shed next to the tumble dryer lol growing mold and making nice homes for woodlouse.
Cats that think that my nice gravel driveway is a giant shit hole. Must remember when replacing buy bigger gravel sad
Cyclists at night who:
Wear dark clothes with no reflective bands or jackets,
use no lights at all,
or use just a flickering red at the back and/or a flickering white at the front.
As a driver I have no wish to harm them or damage my car avoiding them. But don't they realise that while the flickeing lights attract attention they offer no help in working out how far away the cyclist is? I'm not sure why that is, but a steady light on the bike makes it much easier to judge the distance to the bike.
The best vision on a bike at night is something that picks up car headlights and reflects - rather than just orange fabric, a bright steady light front and back as well as the flickering lights if they want. This is particularly essential when the car driver is battling with oncoming headlights on beam or badly set (isn't that part of the MOT?), rain/snow falling or spray being thrown up by the car in front.
I've seen a great thing which is a cover for a back-pack that is reflective etc just like a jacket. Good because if you wear a fjacket and then put a backpack on, it covers the most visible bit of the jacket.
Also, I would love to see a push at schools and companies to encourage people who cycle to and from them to have lights on their bikes.

There ws a theory mooted in the 80's that teleportation could be based on the washing machine as socks often dissappeared from one machine and appeared somewhere else. It was even suggested that time travel could work based on the same principle. I must point out that these theories were often discussed in the uni bar in the very early hours of the morning.

We had that very discussion at Uni. We decided it was far too dangerous to attempt to use the washing machine teleport as you would be bound to end up on a planet that was about half a mile deep in odd socks, with no way of getting back.

True indeed but they do come back eventually so there's no need to be worried about being stranded :borg:
