    Also funky email ooo messages.

    I mean, I'm all for a bit of humour in them but in a professional work place, "soz, I'm off doing something interesting. If you need anything speak to one of my hoes" doesn't really feel massively appropriate.

    Ooh, people failing to say thank you winds me up. Especially rude drivers who can't even be bothered to give you a simple nod of recognition when you've let them through/out, etc. It does sound like you had the misfortune of running into a couple of rude professional dog walkers @Diamond . The fellow dog owners I come across on my walks are generally a friendly, polite bunch. I can assure you that if you and Mrs Diamond are ever cycling over here on the Hampshire/Sussex borders and stop to let me and my two dogs pass, I will thank you and wish you a good day!

    Flies.

    They're idiots. Fly in through a massive open door, then struggle to get out, banging into the small closed window right next to the massive open door. Idiots.

    And they eat sh*t.

    Lloyds Bank giving me totally wrong information on the phone. Cash withdrawals abroad DON'T just cost £1.50 per transaction as I was advised. They forgot to tell me about the 2.99% fee on top. Luckily I double checked as it felt too cheap.

    First time I've seen that. And I hate it.

  7. Toaster manufacturers and bakers - why is the slot in a toaster always either not deep enough or not long enough for a normal slice of bread?

    If you want to toast a baguette put it in a trouser press.

    Or adjustable in width so that crumpets/ English muffins/ hot cross buns can be toasted without getting stuck.

    Edit: Award for most English middle-class WFC Forums comment?

    Dunno. Before I pass judgement - do you use a butter knife and a conserve spoon?

    Have to disagree here. Top show that doesn't take itself too seriously

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    Really? Thought it was going to be a lighthearted chat show with a bit of fun and a different angle.

    Just turned out to be underhanded political messages and racial discrimination messages throughout.

    Guess if that's the show your tuning in to then that's a show you'll like.

    I turned it off almost as quickly as I turned off The Last Leg.

    Yep. Absolute turd.

    Watched it once and the whole premise seems to be an obese bloke barely able to speak, laughing at his own jokes.

    The moment you decide to release the fart "that could go either way" and it goes against you better judgement.

    Another driving one........

    You’ve pulled aside to let an oncoming car through but they can’t be bothered to actually lift a hand to thank you, oh no, that’s way too much effort. All you get is a slight lifting of a finger from the steering wheel.

    Just me?

    Probably.
     
  24. You should probably show them your entire middle finger - just to show them how it should be done.

    Another driving one - or, to be more precise, parking one...

    In Australia it's illegal to park on the side of a road facing into oncoming traffic. Coming over here to find that it's common practice drove me nuts - especially when driving at night, when an extra set of headlights suddenly appears in front of me & makes me stand on the brakes.

    Actually I *think* I read recently on one of those "Think you Know Your Highway Code with Pictures of VIP VPLs" things that it is technically illegal in the UK for the same reason.

    Thongs may well be compulsory in Austrailia, I don’t know, but VPLs are commonplace over here m8.

    At least a slight finger raise is something rather than nothing. Those who don't acknowledge you've waited for them tend to be elderly and/or deep in conversation with their passenger/s.

    I tend to shout 'thanks' loudly as they pass me. They probably don't hear it but it makes me feel better!

    Yeah, there is that but it still annoys me.

    I usually do an obvious and sarcastic hand raise along with a thanks for the ones who show no thanks. They probably don’t realise though.

    Edit: seeing my actions written down makes me consider that, perhaps, I’m actually a bit of a ****! Think I might stop doing it

    I suppose their soles must be used to all the chafing they receive.

    Not at all! I'm sure in this hot weather some of those with their windows down will hear it. I think I might progress to a hand wave with a loud and sarcastic 'thanks, w anchor'....

    Glad it's not just me. My difference is I tend to say "you're welcome" loudly at them as they pass - completely pointlessly as it's invariably through a closed window as the driver continues to pass without any acknowledgement in my direction. However, like you, it makes me feel better.

  34. Not compulsory, and not advisable. It's possible to be fined for not being in control of your car if caught driving in them after being involved in an accident. I always used to slip mine off and drive 'bareback'...
