Things you hate II

When out running, you're about to pass two people walking side by side and they don't get into single file for you

 

Pedestrians not checking their rear view mirrors are a pain you're right

 

As in you're walking/running towards each other, thought that part was obvious

 

Why would it be obvious? More to the point why have you more right to the road that they have to get out of your way?

 

if two people walking in tandem take up the whole pavement, then how else would you pass?

 

Binman. Absolute ****s who try their very best to block up roads at all costs. Sc*m

 

What's that got to do with joggers?

 

Because I wouldn't expect people facing the same direction as me to know I'm coming, but those facing me...

Well I could ask why do they have more right to the path than I do, why should I have to run on the road with cars because they can't be arsed to walk behind their mate for 2 seconds? Selfish c*nts.

 

because if you're walking, running or jogging and two or three people walking in tandem take up the whole pavement, then there is no way to pass unless they move into single file. it's simple. it's beyond simple.

unless of course you're happy to walk/jog/run into the road.

 

If all you are saying is that two people walking together on a very narrow pavement on a very busy road meet an oncoming person they should move to one side so all can pass freely. I have no problem with that. Don't really see what jogging has to do with anything..it's not like they have the moral high ground over the bit of pavement.

 

Good one. The comments that follow just reflect that some people just don't get the concept of manners.

 

If only what you think I lack in manners you made up for in charisma.

 

i've said it before, but it's so much worse when they're fat. they're so slow and it makes it that little bit harder to get around them

 

When you take a shower and your skin feels itchy afterwards.

 

Or someone walking a dog doesn't reign the dog in slightly, instead stretching the leash across the full pavement.

 

It was just an example of when I've experienced this annoyance, people seem happier to get in single file when I'm walking rather than running oddly enough

 

Hang on! When I told my story of two people who refused to get out of my way when running and subsequently shouted abuse at me for (admittedly abruptly) asking them to move over, you made out that I was the bad guy for wishing terminal cancer on one of them!!!

Double bloody standards.

 

my views on terminal cancer have shifted since then. the evidence suggests its not as bad as it seems

 

When I don't get paid on time in the last week of the month. ****s everything up.

 

Yeah, I get that. My new job pays me on the 4th and 20th of every month, which is fine, but all of my direct debits were set up for the 1st and 15th. It was a real hassle fixing the auto-payment for all of my bills. I had to cancel, then re-enroll, but auto-pay wouldn't be effective until the following month. This meant going through all of the utilities and making payments. It was annoying.

 

I get paid weekly and pay for my travel weekly so I'm really up against it this week now - all because there was nobody to authorise my timesheet. Siiiiiigh.

 

Our away kit this season. It hasn't grown on me at all.

Black and white are NOT colours associated with Watford. They are the colours of the detested conference-botherers up the road. Our colours are Yellow, Black and Red.

And before someone writes that we wore black & white in 1735 when we played on Croxley Green - I'm not interested. Yellow, black and red - those are our colours. Not some nasty piano keys, faux-Notts County horror show.


I know it's for a good cause - but it's not a nice shirt.

 

The abolition of 2 points for a win and back passes allowed.

They made a right mess of that didn't they? Completely ruined football.

Grinding out a dour 0-0 on a mud patch where you could barely see the lines painted on the pitch and big skidmarks in the mud where everyone had been sliding in - there was a particular skill to that.

A skill suited to us North Europeans. Big and beefy, with a decent hoof and prepared to get stuck in the mixer - those are things we can do.

Making it 3 points for a win and abolishing the back pass meant that immediately the game changed and yer fancy dan Southern Europeans and Latin Americans were able to gain ascendancy playing tippy-tappy over a perfect bowling green pitch with a light-as-a-feather balloon.

Bring back 2 points for a win! Allow back passes to the keeper!


Oh and put the laces back in the balls.

 

Fat spotty ****s that monitor cctv and give out parking tickets for 5 mins of loading at 8.30 on a Saturday morning.

 

We haven't had an away kit with Watford colours for at least... 4 seasons now? It's much better than last year's

 

Two things:

1
Moved into a new apartment block in the past few months, took 5 emails with the building management company (who apparently I'm paying a service for) to tell me that there is no recycling at the building. Just drop your glass etc down the chute from the 7th floor (in bin bags with everything else) so it makes a horrid crash at the bottom.

Don't own a car to take things to a recycling point. Not quite sure what to do.

Then found out my employer doesn't recycle. Suddenly I'm worse for the environment than I was 3 months ago.

2

I'll take this as the admission of error and unreserved apology which I'm sure you intended. No cancer wishes for you..

 

do you get many pedestrians in your abode?

 

Why on earth do we have rev-counters? In 40 years of driving, professionally at speed, and otherwise, I never really used the rev-counter.

 

So you know when to change gear.

 

But I know when to change gear based on the sound of the engine. Do people really keep taking their eyes off the road to check the revs?

Actually, I normally drive an automatic, and it still has a rev-counter!

 

Can't hear my engine, especially if the radio is on, unless I rev the nuts off it.

Saying that mine's a semi automatic too. It's also there as a backup if your speedo fails you can gauge your speed in any given gear.
