    Which brings us on to "bastards on bikes", is there a speed limit for a cyclist on a footpath? A couple on evenings ago, I am walking the faithful hound on footpath ( which permits cycling) all nice and quiet then out of nowhere, fcuking WHOOOSSH, lycra clad bikeman at the speed of sound passes by, missing me by a hair and frightens the bejaysus out of me. dog looks at me as if to say WTF was that.:)


    Speed limit? It's f*cking illegal to cycle on a footpath.

    I was walking on the path one day, there was a cycle lane beside said path, some ars*hole on a bike starts shouting at me from behind. Needless to say I told him to get off the f*cking path. Dickhead.

    Running out of staples. Don't know why it's so annoying 'cos we all know you can't fit all that many staples into a standard stapler and they're going to run out over and over again. I'm generally fairly peaceful but trying to staple something when nothing happens because the staples are all gone yet again, can induce Bruce Banner levels of rage!

    Youtube videos where the maker's name, logo, credits etc, take up 50% of the length of the video.

    Youtube videos with those square/rectangular kind of coloured but transparent popups linking to another video.

    The kind of youtube popups mentioned above, but they are placed so when you move the mouse to close them down, as you hover the mouse over the (x), the title of the video drops down from the top of the viewer, and you can't close them. Fucking HATE those.

    To be fair to Lance, it is one of those 50/50 paths marked for walking and cycling. My gripe is had I taken a stagger left he would have mangled me, him, the bike and (most important of all) the dog:)

    Any mention of China on Boards leads to someone whipping out the "Great bunch of lads" quote.

    That shìt got old real fast.

    Someone biting their nails.

    Makes me want to cut their fingers off with a blunt scissors.

    When my body just wont do the things I tell it to do.

    Just do it body, we don't care if it hurts tomorrow just do it NOW! DO IT!

    But it never does. It just wants to sit down and get filled up with food.

    Biting nails doesn't bother me so much but what I can't stand is seeing nails that have been bitten back to nothing and look red raw.

    When your OH tells you they are really too busy in work to take calls/text from you...................then they bitch because you don't call/text...

    Insurance companies calling EVERY DAY to remind you your insurance is up in a few days.

    I hate when you are online looking for cheap insurance you have to fill in your number. I fill the form in online so i don't have to talk to the staff. Within an hour I usually have a phone asking me was I happy with my cheap quote. :mad:

    Going to the "secret, hidden" stock of rollerball pens at the office, and discovering that the new box of 12 that only arrived recently has been completely emptied yet again. Hate ordinary biros, they are so much harder to use on some types of paper.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    People who pronounce medicine as MEDSIN.

    People with high pitched voices shouting.

    It shouldn't annoy me, but unfortunately it does.

    They all sound like an excited Joan Burton.

    There's a group of 5 lads, aged about 9, running around outside my house shouting their high-pitched shrieky, excitable little heads off. Giving me a headache and freaking out my foster kitten. Bloody kids enjoying themselves, bloody cheek I tells ya. I blame the parents:)

    The phrase 'ah the poor ....'
    'ah the poor girl on the bike' There's nothing poor about them.

    Strange, when i'm out on my bike (cycling for the sake of fresh air and fitness) and I see some flubbery headed pink thing chuffing a fag behind the wheel of a car I think 'ah, the poor lazy bastard', because it's highly likely they couldn't get their leg over a bike even if they wanted to.


    Note - no, i'm not referring to you, or your mother!

    :cool:

    People with loud voices who have no consideration for anybody else, for example the c*nt that sits beside me and insists on blabbing away at the top of her voice when I'm on the phone.
