What winds YOU up ?

[Boomstick]

My previous cat I found laying half dead on on our front lawn one day.
He was old, one eyed, had hardly any teeth and was emaciated.
I took him in and me and Madame Toes nursed him back to health.
He was with us for another 2 years til he died of old age. Nobody can tell me that cat didn't love us. He was the kindest most affectionate old bugger you could wish for.

Agreed, we have a rescue cat. So afectionate and grateful to have a loving home.
I love that thing more than most people.

[RedRover45]

Yep, hate dogs with a fashion. Mind you I'm a postie so it goes with the territory. The thing that really gets on my tits though is these idiots who have the poster on their front door saying 'my Doberman etc can make the gate in 3 seconds, can you ?'
Well no but my size 10 boot is able to reach the dogs knackers in 2 seconds........

[Herbert Anchovy]

I'm with you BS. I can't abide dogs.

My youngest is terrified of dogs since one ran up and jumped on him in a park when he was 2. He's scared to death whenever he's out somewhere and there's a dog off the lead. Thanks a million you t**t who allowed your out of control mongrel to affect my kid's independence.

And the number of dipshit owners who say "oh he's just being friendly" when their f**king creature jumps up and you and rubs it's mud-covered paws all over you abd sticks its snout in your crotch beggars belief.

Your so right bst . When the dog owner just let's their dog jump up all over you, and get it's filthy paws and slobber all over you 'because it being friendly' f**k OFF WITH YOUR SMELLY MUTT !

Don't even get me started on those cretins who pick up the stinking shit, then just hang it off a fence in a non biodegradable bag.

Oh and then there's those cars and houses that just reek of dog, absolutely disgusting smell that makes you want to gip.

People have a genuine fear of dogs, and those idiot owners that let them run free in public spaces, have a special place in hell reserved for them.
When a dog is running at you, and you have no idea if the dog is 'friendly', are you in your rights to boot the mutt in self defence?

You’ll never see a cat owner scooping up its shit that’s for sure. My neighbour had 2 cats and I’m forever having to clean their shit up and lob it into their garden. Makes my blood boil.

A Groupon offer today had foreign language courses on offer.
It had countries flags and below the language.
ENGLISH was under the Stars and Stripes!
I despair.

[bahrain rover]

Idler,

Out here we can pay all our bills, top up our phones etc through some nifty all-in-one kiosks. On them you have the option of Arabic or English with the stars and stripes as a background flag.

You surely don't think English is the world language because of England?

[Orlandokarla]

Trolls on fishing expeditions. Annoying buggers

Orlando. You do a very good job of living up to a stereotype. It's a good laugh, but you really need to be careful taking the piss out of armed folk like that.

 I used to know a guy from 'murica like that. He used to sit watching the telly every night, sharpening a big f**k off Bowie knife.

I once asked him if he had any idea how f**king stupid that looked to civilised, 21st century people.

Only askec him once, I'll grant you.

I’m fairly stereotypical of many U.S citizens, I suppose, in that I believe that freedom of speech is a basic human right, and that the right to protect myself and my family is sacrosanct.
 
Civilised, 21st century people should recognise that freedom of speech is a basic human right, and a civilised, 21st century society need not be rendered defenceless in order to be kept compliant.

Not entirely Billy but it was responsible for English being spoken in North America, Australia and various other parts of the world.

Well, it pretty much is ....

[drfchound]

I wonder who is responsible for French language being spoken around the world.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I didn't say anything about English being spoken around the world. I said it is the world language.

[BillyStubbsTears]

People who don't read properly then come up with smart arse remarks about what they think they've read. That winds me up.

And what winds me up is smart arses who don’t see a comment that is intended to be a funny one.

Like everything else BST, we invent and the USA or somebody else get the credit.😉

The French ?

Aye, because of the English .

[RedJ]

The French

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Can't believe the hate dogs are getting. Best creatures in the world if you ask me.

[Not Now Kato]

People who, knowing how bad it's going to be, still think that Brexit is a good idea.

[Bentley Bullet]

Smart arses who think they know it all.

[Iberian Red]

Dumb arses that know feck all.

[RedJ]

People who pull into a road where you're at the junction to pull out and they can see there's no space for them to pass but force you to reverse half way down the road to let them in.

The Muppets today who were driving without lights on the M18

and

especially the Muppet driving the other night on M18 who only had one nearside sidelight on and overtook me. I had slowed down because I (honestly) could not work out what it was following me but had it been a bit left of centre I would NOT have seen the light at all. Huge potential for a prang

I feel you’re getting into specific incidents now Wolfie! We could all recount our daily frustrations and that could go on forever!

Bad grammar winds me up. ‘Of’ instead of ‘have’.... that is such a common one nowadays.

‘He could of done better....’ arrrgh!!

[i_ateallthepies]

Use of totally wrong words is one of mine too, Pancho.  'Are' in place of 'Our', the various forms of 'There' used incorrectly.

[NickDRFC]

“Has” being used instead of “as”, ie such as “such has”. I don’t like it the other way round but at least there’s a bit of logic behind dropping a letter - adding one though?!

[Bentley Bullet]

People who say 'feck' instead of 'f**k'. It's so uncool to emulate Father Ted and/or Mrs Brown. This must be discouraged or we'll turn into a country full of eejits.

[RedJ]

The French

[Bentley Bullet]

People with tunnel vision.

[NickDRFC]

Should that be people with channel tunnel vision?
