Things We Hate

[SALTIRE]

Meh tits is tits, who cares if she has a truncheon attached!

 

[Kaawaterloo]

OK

1. When you get a call from work telling you not to come in on Monday as the building is on fire.
   
   
2. When the DWP stops any money you have when your job as Father Christmas ends because the DWP don’t think its seasonal work.
   
   
3. Council Tax. After going up by the maximum allowed, 1.9% for the last four years, you find that there will be an extra 2% for the gaps caused cuts to Police.
4. Very annoying phone alerts.
   
   
5. When you pull into a McDonalds and discover you’ve just turned up to see to rival drug gangs have an armed shoot out in the middle of the afternoon.
   
   
6. When your City Centre looks like a building site after the “apprentices” carrying out the improvements are all sent to Tesco for three months for “training”, which mysteriously coincides with a “restructuring”, where lots of staff at said Tesco get sacked.
   
   
7. When your councils latest idea is that charity shops will “have to pay tax and national insurance to create a level playing field”, as your des"Hull"ate town centre suffocates in the sea of pound shops, pawn shops and bookies.
   
   
8. When a student puts five grand on a desk in an estate agents and ask how many houses they can buy with that.
   
   
9. When students walk into employment agencies and ask if “there are any jobs for about fifteen pounds an hour”.
   
   
10. When there are no Police available when your house gets burgled, but there are always plenty of police with speed cameras in their hand.
    
    
11. People who shag on the bus.
    
    
12. People who shag in bus shelters.
    
    
13. People who shag on park benches.
    
    
14. People who ask for spare change on every street corner – get busy with reducing the surplus population.
    
    
15. When, at the the self-scan, your asked to help a few people with their shopping and ten mins later your too slow and “not representing the brand” properly.
    
    
16. When getting ready for a reduced to rumble, you notice family members armed with massive trolleys forming a “me first” wall as battle commences for that reduced ham.
    
    
17. When an 11 year old threatens to “stab you up” on the way home from work.
    
    
18. When there are three separate stabbings in 24 hours and you’ve got the worst performing police force in the country.
    
    
19. When you take your dog for a walk early in the morning and he discovers a dead body.
    
    
20. People who are oblivious to anyone and anything that is not their phone.
    
    
21. People who punctuate their vocabulary constantly with the word “fuck”.
    
    
22. People who call their children after makes of car. Bentley and Mercedes are not great looks on Longhill.
    
    
23. People who wear tracksuits to job interviews.
    
    
24. People who wear tracksuits to funerals.
    
    
25. People who use the phrases “Darl”, Yaaahh mate” and “Easy”.
    
    
26. People who order a delivery pizza at the pizza shop and expect themselves to be delivered to said address with Pizza.
    
    
27. People who think that reading is posh.
    
    
28. People who answer questions with statements – “Why did you try to burn my house down? Because I did.
    
    
29. Schools that use product placements. McJimmy flips a McDonald’s burger for 56 seconds, if a burger takes 5 minutes to become an inedible piece of excrement McDonalds qualify as “food”, how long left has McJimmy got to wait, bearing in mind he has a target time of 25 seconds per order? Please show your working and make sure you ask if you want to go “large” with it.
    
    
30. Charity shops which call themselves “boutiques”
    
    
31. Charity shops in which items are actually more expensive to buy then the retailer next door. Whatever is done to Series One of Little Britain, it is not worth a tenner.
    
    
32. Bookies with FOBTYS which are frequented by people who are reaping the rewards of their five finger discounts.
    
    
33. People who steal concrete diggers and use them to rive cash machines off the wall.
    
    
34. People who scream endless abuse at the children and then wonder why their little darlings end up with an ASBO at 11.
    
    
35. People who say “to be fair” constantly in conversations.
    
    
36. When you fail at an interview for a minimum wage job because you cannot speak four languages.
    
    
37. People who expect volunteers to fill jobs that paid staff used to do.
    
    
38. People who neglect to wash with soap under both armpits and other associated areas when waking. Believe me, your concoction of piss, nicotine and three day sweat does not make for a productive day.
    
    
39. People who shit on the seats in public toilets.
    
    
40. People who smear shit all over the wall in the local council office as part of a “dirty protest”.
    
    
41. People who use sites like Freegle and ask for “any spare laptops that you don’t want”.
    
    
42. People who use Freegle and expect you to deliver your item to their house twenty miles away at your cost. I’m not going to put it on EBay for you as well.
    
    
43. Business that, after arranging for a contribution tin for the cost of tea and coffee, arrange another contribution tin for the cost of heating and lighting.
    
    
44. Shops that ask you if you want a bag whilst you’re carrying a back pack.
    
    
45. Shops with a self-service check out only that ask you if you want to buy any of their special “offers”. I’m buying a paper, I don’t want a bag, a bottle of water, a packet of sweets, a book, a pension, my house valuing, or to be entered into a prize draw for a Estonian dictionary.
    
    
46. People who, when presented with the many parking options at Tesco, elect to park right outside the main exit with the husband running the engine because they “only want a few things” before rocking up a hour later.
    
    
47. People who “main event”. You’re in a near empty pub, where’s the best place to sit? I know, there’s a spot right in front of the only door with access to the toilet let’s sit there and look offended everytime someone needs to piss once it fills up. Wankers.
    
    
48. People who expect their local Wetherspoons to be a five star eatery. The grilled Haloumi not quite hot enough? Go pay five times the price for it at that poncey place that plays Jazz on a loop.
    
    I'm quite sure that there are more
    

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

No-one wanted you to come back, and this is why.

 

[Craig]

I only read the first few but number 1 definitely belongs in the things we like thread, not this one.

 

[SUTSS]

I'm disappointed that you didn't find 2 more to round it up to 50. Shows a real lack of dedication.

 

[Stevencc]

Kaawaterloo vs Carel. Unlike Hull, this place is only big enough for the one of them.

 

[Krazy8]

Shops that ask you if you want a bag whilst you’re carrying a back pack.

Yeah, common courtesy's a bitch isn't it?

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

People who order a delivery pizza at the pizza shop and expect themselves to be delivered to said address with Pizza.

What on earth

So, um, is Hull worth a visit?

 

[smat]

Heartbreaking that such a big post has no likes.

But completely understandable, in the circumstances.

 

[T.A]

Would have got more likes had he just wrote Hull.

 

[Craig]

Hull is the 6th best city in the UK, in my honest opinion.

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

1FF not letting me post on my laptop, and having to get up and fetch my phone every time I want to post!!

 

[Camborne Gills]

Hull is the 6th best city in the UK, in my honest opinion.

I am guessing you have only been to 6 cities then.

 

[Craig]

You're guessing wrong.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Seven?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

With Wolverhampton or Coventry being the 7th (or possibly 7th and 8th?)

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

With Wolverhampton or Coventry being the 7th (or possibly 7th and 8th?)

you live in walsall don't you?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Not a city. I am immune to this argument. (For the record, Wolverhampton is far worse than Walsall...)

 

[Craig]

I'm sure all these places have plenty going for them.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Yes, the railways stations to take the train out.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Needing a piss as soon as you climb in to bed.

 

[epic73]

Sushi.

 

[SALTIRE]

Sushi.

Mods, ban this member please!

 

[SALTIRE]

On a more serious note, losing a family member which happened to me on Sunday night. RIP Gran.

 

[Craig]

That's shit mate, I hope she had a good innings.

 

[SALTIRE]

That's shit mate, I hope she had a good innings.

101 so yeah lol!

Had a reporter from the local paper on the phone today wanting to run a story about her so we're going to set that up in a few days

 

[epic73]

Any particular reason?

 

[SUTSS]

Someone lived to over a 100 in Scotland that's headline news in itself.

 

[mowgli]

On a more serious note, losing a family member which happened to me on Sunday night. RIP Gran.

Sorry to hear that mate but 101 fair play to her.

 

[SALTIRE]

Any particular reason?

Just to see what she did in the war etc I suppose.

Sorry to hear that mate but 101 fair play to her.

Thanks. Aye she was an amazing woman, and was fitter than me till 98, but the last few were tough for her. Don't think any of the present bunch of our family will get near that though!
