Parents in the cinema who do the following :

1. Cutting in line when the queue is the whole way down the fooking stairs. The queue is there for a reason, the absolute cheek of you, gliding past everyone. And if your friend is in line, do NOT cut in and stand with them. ( To friend "Can I go beside you. I'm not getting food, just the tickets." To the cashier : "Two adults and 4 kids to see blabla please and can I have about a million items that I have to list one by one, sloooowly.")

2. Use their phones during the movie, lighting up everything around them with their LED screen (that is NOT "spending quality time with the little darlins" - which is what I'm sure you're writing about in your status update.)

3. Stare blankly at the screen while everyone around you is staring daggers at you in the hope that you'll tell your child (who is running up and down the steps) to sit down and behave.

4. Telling your child to whisper ( in a voice that is loud enough for everyone to hear) .

5. Not saying or doing anything when your child is talking and screaming just to hear their own voice.

6. Bad-mouthing staff who are doing their very best under the circumstances.

Bathbombs with petals inside them. You emerge from the bath looking like you fell in to a bag of rolling tobacco.

People who can't dispose of food right; dropping raw meats into the bin without wrapping them up in some manner, just scraping their dirty plates into the bin... of course it's gonna stink if you're doing that!

People's communal trash etiquette in general gets me, flatten things before you put them in for chrissake! Don't put broken glass straight into the bag! Recycle! If you're female it's really your responsibility to deal with the bathroom bin!

My impatience when waiting for some things, and my constant checking.

Set up a thing on tuesday on an online community, and have confirmation that it'll go live three days later, and notification will go out to members of the site at that point - and I've been checking all day, instead of just, like, leaving it and taking a 'when it's done it's done' attitude. Constant checking won't make it go live any quicker, yet I still keep doing it.

Not in After Hours, but when a new poster shows up in a forum, posting in most threads, as if their opinion is superior to everybody elses. When I see their username in a thread I just sigh and reconsider looking at it.

Yes!
It does take some newbies some time to get a feel for the place, and that is fair enough.
But then you get some who assume this is the same as whatever bodybuilding forum they were in before and barge in....

TA at the parking bounder thing on the ground outside my house that my friend just drove into when coming to pick me up for a night out half hour away.

TA at the flat tyre my friend got as a result, my friend having to change said tyre, and our cancelled night out. Felt so sorry for him, first time changing a tyre, but hey at least he's been given some experience of it... and I got to watch a very fit guy change a tyre... gotta look on the bright side and all that

Fcukwit and friends next door have been partying since early evening last night, it's almost half eleven on Saturday morning and they aren't showing any signs of shutting the fcuk up any time soon.:mad: I'm tired, I'm pissed off and my bullsh*t tolerance level has reached zero.

Buying the newspapers and not reading them.

I have the unread newspapers piled up since Tuesday, and I can't decide whether to read them in chronological order, or just get the bottom line from today's paper?

Only it's such a lovely day out there, it seems stupid to spend it indoors reading papers, which will probably mean another layer atop my coffee-table monument to environmental barbarism...

Bring them to the park or the beach and read them in the sun.

I will never figure out why McDonald's staff always offer you those little plastic cartons of milk when you order a latté.

TA that this is one of those days that I just cant wake up. Seem to be drifting thru the day in a half daze. Waste of a day!

eisenberg1 · 04-04-2015 02:24PM

I am kinda under the weather a bit (some sort of viral thing) and decided to spend the day in bed and try and sleep thru it. Not a fcuken chance, every pleb with a petrol driven device for miles around is gone fcuking nuts, it's sounds like they are clearing acres of Amazonian forest! This started a ten this morning, not a thought spared for anyone who works nights or wants a late sleep after working all week.

I find a 15 minute power nap knocks that right out of you.

(Although 15 minute power naps take about 30 minutes)

Get away out of that you with your practical solutions.... This is a complaining thread where we complain.... not help people!

Morons who stick to the left lane of a roundabout the whole way around, exiting by the 3rd or 4th exit.

I stick them to the roundabout....esp if I'm in the correct lane to go straight on and there in outside lane to skip traffic....I never ever let them cut in ahead of me
