Things that drive you mad

[coventryrover]

when people refer to sheffield wednesday as wednesdays.  one is more than enough ta very much

[coventryrover]

also  people saying "can i get?" when asking for something.

[Donnywolf]

...and Im good when you ask how they are

[Mr1Croft]

Phoning the bank and what not and being told "Hi Mr XXXX, how are you today sir" when you've been on phone with them for about 10 minutes giving details...

Booking Fees online.

When people only ask the weight of a newborn as if it gives some kind of accurate description of the health of the baby.

[Muttley]

People who say "Good good"...yes, I heard you the first time.

Drivers who can't stick to lanes on a roundabout...it's called a round about for a reason, if you were meant to drive straight across, they'd have called it a straightacross

[RedRover45]

People who ring you and have got the wrong number. Then they act as if its your fault by saying what number have I rung, and all the time adamant they have rung the right number. Dicks.......

[BobG]

Alex - when he won't chuffing so as he's told and leaves everything to the minute after the last minute. Winds me up no end....

Another shop-related one: sales assistants who ask "are you alright?" To which the answer is "I'm perfectly fine, thank you." What they should be asking is "can I help you?" Might actually get them a sale...

[Mr1Croft]

Found another one last night;

 Public toilets where the tap only stays on while you press it. Impossible to wash your hands!

Were you cottaging?

[MrFrost]

There's only 1 for me. Searching a busy car park for a space and some c***s parked over 2 spaces. Sometimes this is obviously done on purpose because they have a nice car. Sometimes it's done by accident because they're a shit driver.

Either way there should be a law where you can slash any tyre not in the lines, so annoying!!

Yes that one REALLY riles me and the perps do it even when a Car Park is almost empty !

Also the inconsiderate b******* who go into the spaces reserved for those less able to walk and then spring out and run into the shop. 

When I see this, if there is an opportunity to, i'll park along side the car, so close they can't get in the drivers side.
Did it to a Zonda a year or so back, as he clearly wanted no one to park next to him. The driver wasn't happy at all.

[Mike_F]

I do that too, Frosty. I reverse in so their driver's side door is next to my passenger side. I've been known to find myself a place to perch with a cup of coffee and a bun so I can watch the driver's reaction and enjoy seeing them climb across from the passenger side. I wait until they start the engine before casually stroll over, jump in and drive off. What larks!

Another thing that really gets my goat is the way that "panini" is commonly used to refer to a single panino. It really irks me to then see "paninis" for the plural. And my head just about explodes when I see "panini's"

[Mike_F]

OAPs who have all week to do their shopping but insist on doing it on Saturday morning- when those of us who are working all week actually have time to shop!

YES. This. And then they moan about not being able to get parked, tills being busy etc.

[SoundbiteBarmyArmy]

Queue jumpers, pusherer-inners!

f**kers!

[RobTheRover]

I hate it when the bank ring you, goes through all the pleasantries, then asks you to complete a load of security checks.  You rang me, FFS!!!!

[Mr1Croft]

Things on the road that drive me mad:

Drivers on Motorway who change lanes without the use of indicators. I understand they don't have to leave plenty of room but it would be nice if I know that your gonna pull out in front of me.

Cyclists who stay in the middle of the road so you have to slow down to like 5 MPH before a clearing to over take.

People who drive at 40 on a 60 road, when its bendy I don't mind but when its a straight road and not raining it winds me up, and then when you come to a 30 zone they carry on doing 40.

Temporary traffic lights.

McDonalds Drive Thru: They always get my order wrong and I have to park up and wait half an hour to finally get what I asked for.

As previously mentioned the guy who parks on two spaces in a car park.

Tractors on the road wind me up, Tractors have huge wheels and made to drive on fields yet you typically get stuck behind them on a 60 road right next to a field.

When your stuck behind a tractor/Lorry on a 60 road and its quite bendy so you can't judge whether it is safe to overtake and there is a queue building behind you and they start beeping at you even though there is traffic coming the other way so you can't overtake.

When you can finally overtake some kn*bhead comes from nowhere and overtakes everyone in the queue (and which point everyone in the queue looks at the guy overtaking and thinks in unison CRASH!)

Lorries overtaking lorries on a 2 lane motorway.

The crossings at Stainforth/Thorne, so glad they aren't running at minute.

When a car is parked on the opposite side of the road and the car coming in the opposite direction has to give way to you but clearly ignores this.

Drivers with incredibly bright lights behind you getting as close as possible to your bumper.

Not as common but those drivers, typically in a white van who overtake you when you indicate to turn right, you don't expect it and if you turn a second earlier they are going to smash into side of your car. I understand if your turning left but right, seriously?

Drivers who insist on sticking in the middle lane on a three lane motorway and going at about 64/65 MPH.

I think that just about covers it...

People who tailgate me and flash their lights while I'm doing a respectable and sensible 60mph in the middle lane of the motorway.

Kitsons.

[River Don]

Silent phone calls. I think these are call centres that do mass callouts and cut out after a certain number of people have answered.

Indian scam merchants calling with the line "I'm calling from Microsoft and we think there is a problem with your PC.

People calling wanting to do surveys.

[RedJ]

When representatives of dead Nigerian princes hang up before I can get my wallet out.

That's just bad driving. Leave a  big enough gap between you and lorry to gauge an overtake. And if it is a bendy road, you shouldn't really be thinking about overtaking.

You are a middle lane bas**rd and I claim my £5.

[Dagenham Rover]

I hate it when the bank ring you, goes through all the pleasantries, then asks you to complete a load of security checks.  You rang me, FFS!!!!

"can I confirm you details Mr Dagenham"  "yes you tell me them and I'll confirm them"   "err no you tell me "  " no if you want me to confirm my details you tell me otherwise I am telling you and thats not confirming them"  "Well ok sir we can't talk to you unless you confirm your details" "but if I tell you I am not confirming them"  "well I'm sorry sir"  "fine you rang me try writing instead"

I love playing that game

[BobG]

So do I Daggers. Had some great sport doing that kind of thing.

Tell you something else I hate. We have a plague of 'em round here. Effing bloody horses mincing down every sodding road you want to drive on. Really. There's hundreds of the buggers. And they all expect you to slow down to about 3 mph, pull out to about 50 yards away from them and be happy at the prospect. why? Horses are for fields. And burgers. Not sodding roads. Get the sods off 'em and keep 'em off. I'd mow the lot down if I thought I could get away with it.

Cheers

Here's another one that annoys me: why do so many people see Es-press-o and say "I'll have an expresso"? Cvnts.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Mike F

Oh, now! Shit pronunciation.

I know I should get really upset about imbalances in global income, or the Papal policy on condoms that has let AIDS go rampant through Africa.

But the one that REALLY gets me foaming at the mouth is TV presenters who say "Sicth" when they mean "Sixth".

f**king well practice at it. It is your job to say things correctly. Your inability to speak proper is the equivalent of Matty Caudwell's inability to ever be within 60 f**king yards of where the ball was going. But he was only watched by 2000 people. You are seen by several million you feckless, civilisation-destroying Kitsons.

[Mike_F]

Haitch

[Orlandokarla]

Huge pick-up trucks with their eye-level halogen high-beams, blinding me on narrow, unlit country roads.

Where's a deer when you need one?

... and if you move a step away the Chaser will offer you .... Fifty Fousand Pounds (also watched by Millions) .... The Beast knows 99 % of everything so ffs he must know its Thousand

That's how DPA works unfortunately. If any company you are with has a genuine reason to contact you, this will always be the security proceducre.
