Things We Hate

[Cheese & Biscuits]

A couple for me:

Overly vain people: Bearing on mind it's about 20° in London already which means the Central Line is even hotter with no air, a woman asked a bloke to close the window this morning because "the wind was messing up her hair". Selfish bitch.

People who walk really slowly: I'm not a particularly fast walker, I'm probably about average and in fact, I don't think people should rush around as much as they do but people who walk at a snail's pace do my head in. Having a countryside stroll on a Sunday, fine. Walking down the aisle on your wedding day, I'd probably encourage it. Walking out of Oxford Circus tube station with thousands of people trying to get past, no, speed up or get out the fucking way.

I think the heat is getting to me already...

I agree about people walking slowly as it really bugs me. Also when you're walking out of a shop and there are people chatting next to the exit door and you have to ask them to move.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

People stopping for a chat in the middle of the aisle of a supermarket can come into that category too.

 

[The Iron]

True. Another thing i hate is when i'm buying something from a shop and it's the only item in the aisle without a price tag on it.

I don't ask them i tell them to move.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Drivers who are rude and aggressive towards cyclists - tonight someone shouted 'get out of the way, you prick' at me and threatened to run me over. Even though I know lots of people don't like or understand cyclists, I've never experienced that level of hatred before.

(We haven't discussed cycling for a few pages, so time to dig it up again.)

And when they walk slowly in a line so its hard to get past.

Also people at bus stops, the bus isn't there yet but they've already formed a chain right across the pavement then look at you gone out as you struggle through them saying 'excuse me'

I will knock you off your bike next time and then I will reverse over It!

 

[Techno Natch]

People that tell you that you'd LOVE Glastonbury and explain it to you like you had no idea what it was like. It's really quite annoying when you explain the various reasons why you've never wanted to go and they still insist that you'd love it.

It just makes me reject the idea of going even more. I appreciate it's a fantastic festival and I can see why people like it but I don't want to go.

They also seem to think that it's the only festival like it and that nothing could surely compare or create a atmosphere as good as the one at Glastonbury.

Legroom on planes.

I'm 6ft 3', LET MY LEGS EXTEND.

Add an inch, and that's my sentiments, try flying back from Australia with about 6" of legroom...

Tbh I rarely walk up escalators, but I always stand to the side so that anyone can pass me if they are in a hurry.

I went back in the 90's and loved it but I don't want to go anymore . I still get " but it's amazing , you'll have a great time " no I won't it'll be shit and while we're at it , stop talking about the " Glastonbury experience " you're 40 . ( I might have turned into a miserable bastard )

Like you i used to go but it's too crowdwd now, plus £4.50 a pint! I first went in 82 wnen tickets were £12 and the attendance was set at 20,000.

Back to the subject of cyclists.

I had an altercation with one this morning. I was approaching a set of traffic lights and he was in the left hand lane as though he was heading straight on, as was I. The lights were on green so I pulled out slightly and was about to overtake him when he makes a decision to stick his hand out to turn right, far too late. He should have been in that lane well before we got to the lights. He then gave me the wanker sign as I was driving off. Clown.

 

[Abertawe]

I've seen a particular cyclist dickhead in Stockport a few occasions. As far as I can tell the car never does anything wrong but that doesn't stop him screaming and cycling after em with his gimpish camera. Bewt.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

And when they walk slowly in a line so its hard to get past.

Also people at bus stops, the bus isn't there yet but they've already formed a chain right across the pavement then look at you gone out as you struggle through them saying 'excuse me'

'Has the bus come yet'? is another idiotic question that bugs me. I'd never heard it happen until I saw someone make a joke about it on telly. I've had it a few times over the years though.

 

[Abertawe]

People doing that to get on a train too. I don't take mercy anymore, I walk right through em.

Why, if there are multiple buses that stop at the same stop or if you want to see how long you're going to have to wait for the next one?

 

[mnb089mnb]

When you're coming back from uni with a shit ton of stuff and massive bags, they all stand there blocking your exit gawping at you. Then somebody gets annoyed when you accidently hit them with some of your stuff as you exit...did you think I could levitate over you, you bunch of pricks?

"Excuse me."

 

[blade1889]

"Excuse me."

Tried that, doesn't work, still get blank looks...although they do attempt to shuffle back an inch

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

All the buses go to the same place before changing down my end.

People who DO walk up escalators, and on the wrong side, especially on the tube (ignorant cnuts)

 

[Skinner]

How can you walk up the escalator on the wrong side? Surely to be able to walk up one side it'll be empty in front of them?

 

[The Iron]

I think you can make a good case for either walking up them or not, but i'm usually in a hurry and hate getting slowed down. Anyway i hate it when i'm out in the car and drivers get too close to me, when there is no reason to do so.

 

[IanH]

When you go to the beach, pop your towel down and go for a swim, and by the time you've returned three 60-something Catalan tarts with skin like crocodiles have set up camp about half a metre away and instantly got their baps out.

 

[JimJams]

Wrong thread Ian. 'Things we like' is here.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Normally people stand on the right on a tube escalator, it is when they stand on the left as well that really grinds my gears, especially if you are in a hurry and trying to make a connection
