Things you hate III

I'm assuming that amongst the T&C's (that, of course, you read thoroughly before signing up) you "give up" copyright of the images? So it's not "the man" collecting your images but "big business".

 

I think we are fb friends with same people!

 

Feeling stressed. :'(

 

Spot on. I'm convinced social media is going to lead to a radically different society when teenagers today grow up, probably with an epidemic of mental health issues caused by narcissism and voyeurism.

 

Sounds like mini HH24 has her head is screwed on the right way.

So many parents don't take the time to understand the internet services their kids are using and hence can't judge if they are mature enough or not to be given free access. Giving kids smart phones and tablets is a responsibility that needs to be understood, not an automatic operation because "everyone else has one"

I see arguments from my peers who do have kids that they don't have time. I read a report a while back about an increase in kids going to school that weren't toilet trained or couldn't speak properly yet.

So in things I hate I'm going to put parents that are not proper parents but simply children producers.

 

I hate the fact that I watched some tennis and cycling yesterday and enjoyed both .

 

Don't travel very often on the train, forgotten how irritating it is. Arrive at car park - doesn't take new pound coins, arrive at ticket machine to pick up pre purchased ticket - closed, go to ticket machine - out of order. Get on train and loud person speaking inanely about asphalting his roof. Feeling grumpy and that's before experiencing return in rush hour.

 

Talking of trains, London Midland have now plastered big ads all over their trains, including huge ads all over the windows, some take up three quarters of the window so you can barely see out, probably too much to ask to pay (a lot) for a ticket and be able to look out of a window. I've also noticed there are no ads on the first-class windows whatsoever. That's privatisation for you I suppose.

 

Train travel would be fine if the general public didn't use it.

 

I'm surprised not to see Miserable Old Git give me an honourable mention in this thread..

 

I got back from my son's Year 6 leaving do, I just can't understand why there's one or two parents who can't go out without getting slaughtered?

In the pub or a nightclub I can understand but when you are with your children and in front of other people at a function, don't make an arse of yourself, the vast majority of the parents are able to manage it.

 

I apologise but the boy started it......

 

People do that? wtf.

 

That's quite sad. I feel really bad for the child of the parents who made arses of themselves.

 

That will be the "over use of" facebook parents who will then post about 50 shots of themselves in various poses with mouths open. Every class has them.

 

Or women pulling a 'duck face'

Quack, quack!

 

Probably said it before but it's worth saying again.

PEOPLE WHO PUT DIRTY CUTLERY OR PLATES IN THE SINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why? I just don't get the mentality.

If the dishwasher is running or needs to be emptied and your time is too precious then fine rinse it and leave it on the draining board. Although really you should bloody empty it or give it a manual wash putting it away in the cupboards and stop being so fecking lazy.

I just don't understand the mentality of someone that does it? What are they asking me, who is the mug that follows up to do? If they want me to wash it, the first thing I've got to do is take it back out of the sink. If they're coming back for it laterto deal with it (highly unlikely) should anyone else want to use the sink they've got to take it out first.

Just give it a rinse and leave it on the draining board FFS.

 

Sure it's been said before but... People driving in the middle of the road in the countryside. Usually huge cars too, never slowing down, hanging 2ft away from the bushes so as not to scratch their beautiful vehicle... I got run off the road this morning!

Dishwasher allergy, it's a common ailment in my household. Dishes often left on the worktop above the dishwasher, even when the dishwasher is empty. Aaaaaaaahhhh

 

Oh and of course, the lack of ability to load the dishwasher so that you can get more than 5 items in it or putting things in there that are so easy to clean by hand anyway I.e. Pane that have only boiled veg.

You've done it now, unleashed a pet hate of mine. I'll have to broach the subject with the misses again tonight. That'll be fun

 

Guilty M'lud but in mitigation:
My Mrs does a wee bit of cooking, then unbeknown to me runs it half empty and I of course place dirty dishes in to fill it - and therefore get scolded ... My solution "Your dishwasher, you sort it!"

 

I'm not allowed to load the dishwasher when I visit my parents because apparently "I do it wrong"

 

Mr Toads every one of them.

 

People who stand talking right in the middle of thoroughfares, it happens a lot in supermarkets, you're desperately trying to manoeuvre your trolley past them while the ****s take up the whole aisle talking absolute shyte to each other.

 

Train announcers "We are now pulling into Rugby, which is the next station stop for this service."

Station, or stop. Either will do. You don't need to call it both.

 

Well, they use both words because British trains stop so frequently at places other than stations that they need to distinguish.

But I take the point.

While we are at it, laughably-called "Great" Western Railway has a "Refresca Cafe Bar".

FFS, it's the buffet car.

 

People who pick faults with train announcers.

I used to have to announce sometimes at Watford and Euston. Most of the time it's tapes, so you just have to push a button, however there are proper human ones you have to do: "stand back from the platform edge incase the approaching train sucks you orf!" etc,

The worst thing about the job is there are pedants like Moog listening in to every single word and mispronunciation of whatever backwoods hamlet they live in. They write in furious letters to complain too, explaining how it should be pronounced "Little Piddlesh'm" rather than "Little Piddlesham" and such like.

There was one particular train on a Saturday morning which went to Machynleth (sp?) stopping at all the usual little Welsh stations called things like Llandllishjkjaugbjh, Bonty Pandy and Pobollie Quim.

I just used to announce the stations as far as Shrewsbury and then say "and many small stations in Wales, then Ma-hunk-clith" and that seemed to satisfy them.

 

Racist.

 

Chocolate sprinkled on the top of cappuccino.

A needless addition is shaken atop of your drink from an oversized metal pepper pot, it doesn't add to the experience, it tastes bitter and sucks the moisture from your mouth. It leaves an unsightly chocolate smile in the corners of your mouth that transfers to everything that you try to wipe it away with and the Italians don't do it, at least not when I lived there (for the weekend).

 

Italians do sprinkle chocolate but would never drink in the quantity we do and never after 11am
