small things that really piss you off

Footballers who wear gloves (and vests). The fairies.

... always strange to see Players with Gloves but Short Sleeves !

people that get on the bus with £20 and then say £1.50. wtf

Bus drivers. I f***ing hate bus drivers.

So do I, especially the one who refused to let me on the bus with a £20 in the pouring rain because I was 10p short in the change that I had... Also all the people who were sat on the bus and not one of them bothered to chuck 10p my way to solve the problem.

And if the bus companies hadn't put the fare up by 10p then I would have been just fine.

Agree about bus drivers. Most are OK but there is a minority that think they can get away with extremely rude behaviour to customers. The job seems to attract a particular type of knob-head.

Another one that makes my piss boil is when you try to contact 'communications' companies such as BT. Their whole business is about communications but you wouldn't think so. You ring them up and have to go through numerous menus before you have to wait to speak to 'Bill Jones' from India who you can hardly understand and end up repeating everything 10 times before they have a rough idea of what you're on about.

Has anyone ever been called from an indian call centre by someone with a traditional Indian name, it seems English names are very popular in India now

The Indian's I work with every day don't have English names.  But I do work with people from other countries who use English names.  I also worked with a lot of students at uni who used really bizarre English names.

On that note, I once worked in a call centre when I was 17 and I occasionally had people who didn't believe I was English and my name was actually what it was.  No matter what I said they weren't convinced.  A little strange given my Doncaster accent.

Hi

This is Big Fat Yorkshire Pudding speaking .... how mat I help ? And you say they did not believe you ?

Bloody sceptics 

[Mike_F]

On a similar theme I always wondered how Adriano Rigoglioso would get on if he was ever collared by the Old Bill.

"What's your name, sonny?"
"Adriano Rigoglioso."
"Oh aye, a likely story. And where are you from, Adriano?"
"Liverpool."
"You're nicked."

[IC1967]

People who lose their accent (because they are ashamed of it) the further up the food chain they go. You just know if someone like a QC is to be interviewed they are going to talk like they've got a plum in their mouths.

[NickDRFC]

Dog walkers who have their dogs on a long lead right accross a path meaning when running you either have to stop or jump over the lead - annoying.

Another one is people who drive over the speed limit, pulling out of my car park at home on to a 30mph limit and the amount of times cars fly round the corner at over 50mph because it's a dual carriageway and give you abuse is massively annoying - you can't see them come round the corner.

Mind, as it's a tight turn, even more annoying are those who have a go because you're slowing down to pull in to the place where you live despite plenty of indication - idiots.

Actually whilst I'm at it, in the same place, pedestrians who walk accross the entrance just as you're about to look in - have a look you idiots.

Bugger it, another one - cyclists who go through red lights and have a go - don't do it!

Shall I get flat hunting grumps?

People who use an Internet forum to talk to their other half.

[IC1967]

People that put a dot on top of a capital i.

[Donnywolf]

Thoughtful "People" who park in the spaces designed for the Charging of Electric Cars cos like Disabled spots they are nearer to the shops

OK I have not got a Nissan Leaf nor any other electric car but those people who have cant charge the f*****s up so they probably cant go home UNLIKE the inconsiderate b******s hogging the "specially designed spots" reserved for such Cars

I was in a supermarket car park the other day disabled spaces on the left all full ordinary spaces on the right this muppet just sitting in the middle waiting for a disabled space to come free it was irrelevent to him he was causing havoc and there was at least three ordinary spaces free further down and actually closer to the store. He was going to have a diaabled space it was as simple as that

FFS - the inconsiderate b*****d - though lets face it its a common trait

Parking on Yellow Lines using the Phone when driving Speeding as some do near me in a 20 Zone where some of 'em do closer to 50 no kidding - and dumping litter and other shit out of the Car rather than taking it home

These are all examples of the me me me culture we are living amongst

I once 'outed' someone in Asda for that, passing comment at the top of my voice that " I didn't know Vauxhall had made and Electric Vectra on an X plate" !!

My wife's been a "lollipop lady" for over 10 years believe me you would not believe the story's she can tell  (good job she's insured at work      )

[IC1967]

The fake smiles presenters have on their faces just before the camera cuts to them. Also the fake smiles they have just after they've presented something and the camera cuts away. I love it when the camera doesn't cut away on time occasionally and they are left there with an obvious fixed fake grin on their face. It becomes excruciatingly embarrassing  for them the longer it goes on.

Jeremy Paxman never used to have a fake smile on his face when presenting Newsnight. If only there were more presenters like him. Doncaster's favourite son Jeremy Clarkson is another one who is genuine.

[RTID75]

Clarkson's geniune all right. A genuine arsehole.

I've just had four days of it Woke up this morning feeling miles better (still coughing up stuff that looks almost sentient, though). Hopefully it'll clear by the weekend, Rob.

I'm on day 3 and feel as though I've had my head filled with cement.  Got a buzzing in my ears and my eyes refuse to focus properly.  Reminds me of some of the states I got into in summer 1988.

[bigbadjack]

A "can do attitude"

[Sammy Chung was King]

When people refer to others as ''Fellow Foodies'' if you don't eat you die, and listening to pop stars and presenters up each others a..es talking pretentious rubbish because they are all in the same racket.
People getting chances because their dad is famous or in football an ex professional when there are thousands of kids on council estates better than the spoilt little Lord Fauntelroy.
Every woman presenter on tv seems to be a ''Jolly Hockey Sticks type'', where are working class politicians?, i could go on and on.

There is.  You can have tagliatelli or penne bolognese.  Sorry to be so pedantic.   I bet this pisses people off too!

[scaley back rover]

Those traffic lights on warmsworth roundabout. Why do we need them its causing more problems than were there before. Its a nightmare trying to come off the northbound A1 .
Infact we have far too many traffic lights in Donny most not needed. Anotherwaste of money by the powers that be

I think you missed his point. That it should be called "Penne Bol" etc.
