Things you hate II

I think they do a factor 30 and 50 now.

 

I've always wanted to make a shower add-on, just clip over the head of the shower, have a five second shower and be covered all over.

 

Had to read that bit twice....

 

Suntan lotion?

Are you American?

 

Never thought of that as an Americanism. It's just not.

 

Ooh really, thanks, I shall investigate that.

 

They make terrible yoghurt though.

 

People snorting rather than blowing their nose.
The guy next to me on the train sounds like he's trying to suck up a puddle. And it's every 30 seconds.

 

Footballers blowing their nose out onto the pitch. Especially when there's a close-up of them on the telly.

 

...and nowadays in High Definition, and if it's your thing, 3D as well.

 

When the boss at work buys 12 cans of coke and puts all of them in the small fridge at the same time, meaning no-one else has any space.

 

People who eat things while they're walking around the supermarket (normally baguettes or grapes).

I don't care whether you're about to buy it - you aren't going to starve before you reach the checkout you fat ****.

 

Supermarkets generally. Well actually not supermarkets. Supermarket shoppers.

 

Anyone who is retired who uses the tip on a weekend. I swear they do it on purpose!

 

Funny you say that. Mrs Diamond had to visit the ear hospital place in St Albans today, (walk in day), and text to me ask why all the old dears think it's good to get there at 8.30am when they've got all day. She's still got the hump about it.

 

The dopey moo in the grey Golf yesterday that decided to overtake me and then cut across my bumper as we were both turning left at a mini roundabout.

I'm not normally an angry person ]]) but I'd had a very bad day yesterday and my tooting swearing and chasing her all the way up the next road was uncalled for. She was however completely oblivious to the fact that she almost took the front off my car and killed a pedestrian.

So what I'd like to put into room 101 is people that are too stupid to drive and my road rage.

 

Lucky for you, not so the pedestrian by the sounds of it (or did I read that wrong?). If you were turning right why were you on the left?

 

Anger typing. We were both turning left and she almost killed the pedestrian. Don't think she even noticed after the event.

 

When you take the initiative at work, notice an opportunity that could possibly save a client money and your boss makes an assumption off the back of it which doesn't necessarily work out, you then get chewed out by the boss despite already putting into place an idea to possibly save their bacon.

#dontgetpaidenoughforthis****.

 

Pretty much the same thing happened to me yesterday unfortunately the other driver hit my car. What really pi$$es me off is that the other person was blaming me for the accident, which should be interesting considering he was trying to overtake me on the wrong side of the road in order to make a left hand turn that I was passing in a straight line. I won't go into further details as it's now with the insurers.

 

Online aptitude tests.

 

I don't get it.

 

I'm in the process of applying to graduate schemes. They pretty much all require you to pass these tests. They take ages and they're quite hard.

 

I scored an IQ of 160 on an online Mensa test. There were only 10 questions and just took a few minutes to complete.

 

Anyone taking an IQ test on the internet has already failed it.

 

Godfather invented the IQ.

 

No but he did win the Field's medal when he was 15.

 

My iq is over 75%

 

I could fill this thread up with driving posts, so won't disappoint...

This morning, (Sunday), at 7.30am I was on the M25 going from J17 to J7 then down to Crawley. Not much traffic as you'd expect but even with the light amount of cars on the road the lane discipline was ****ing appalling. How can literally 10 cars in 4 lanes cause a bottleneck? In the end I stayed in the left hand lane and undertook everything, (yeah I know but **** em).

Is it a lack of common sense, proper motorway driving lessons or just plain arrogance?

 

I give people 30 secs to pull over and if they don't then undertake. Got to be careful though because they'll likely be the sort of people that will change lane without looking in their blind spot or signalling so do it quick.

 

Yesterday the family went out for Sunday lunch, we got there about 12:15 and although the car park was busy there were plenty of spaces. When we had finished we found we couldn't get the car out because some ignorant to$$er had blocked me and another car in. I twice had to go inside to get a member of staff to announce over the PA for the driver to move their car, eventually just over 10 minutes after the first call, this couple come out. Rather than being apologetic, they had a pop at us for disturbing their lunch and moaned about the restaurant not having enough parking spaces. I really couldn't give a ****, they deliberately blocked in 2 cars because they couldn't be arsed to park elsewhere or go somewhere else.
