Things Cat Trialvilly Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP*

People being courteous!

I was stopped at the lights in Nexttownover earlier in the week. I was six out of eight cars back, and usually about ten cars get through the lights. The light goes green, and the car that's fourth in line stops to leave someone out of a garage. Only by the time they realise they're being waved out and actually start driving, the light has gone red. So now they're at the front of the queue, and the other four of us have gone ****ing nowhere. If that person hadn't been left out while the light was green, we'd have all gotten through the lights, the road would have been clear for them, and they'd have ended up in exactly the same position, except without four of us behind them.

Stop for people on red, not on green! :mad:

Slow hesitant drivers.

Can I add slow hesitant drivers that stay on or over the white lines.

Genuinely pissed off seeing the state of the Dodder banks, green area near my folks etc. this morning. And people bleating on about "Not enough bins, they're always full, blah blah blah." If you brought it with you full, you can fcuking well bring it home with you empty. There is literally no excuse for littering. Scumbags one and all.

Trying to find the correct place to pull a bin liner/bag off the roll!.

And when you eventually do, it is another battle to try and open it.

Slow hesitant bus drivers also, running behind schedule and seemingly getting every red light deliberately.

Knobs who think they are great for calling out an April Fools Day joke.
Saw a very good one earlier and instead of playing along they had to comment and ruin it for everyone.

Oh look at me, I'm great I figured out it was a prank. Fook off.

What was the prank?

My TA - so much to do, so little motivation.

If it was DPD there'd be a pretend "we tried to deliver but delivery failed" status in their too.

Contrarily I've actually had more positive experiences with DPD than negative - few and far between at least. Neither service are without fault but for me Fastway are among the worst I've ever dealt with - definitely more bad than good instances with them. I'm so unfortunate with them.

It's at a stage now where if I ever see Fastway as the courier service after I order something, I automatically think "welp, I won't be seeing that for an extra week".

The last time they did this, they told me they successfully delivered an item to my address (there is another household in my estate that has the same door number and same estate, just a different road linked to it - it's hard to explain, it's a big estate split into two sections (the only difference is one estate has 'East' at the end of it)) and I had told them they didn't, and they were adamant they did. They even lied about telling me they used the correct postcode, which they didn't, as it'd be impossible for them to go to the wrong door in that instance.

They didn't budge and refused to fix the problem. The resident of that address actually came to my door and dropped the parcel to me personally, saying that they must've gotten the house mixed up. Lovely woman, and I'm sure she's had this problem before with prior deliveries.

They've also left parcels at my door without knocking. On three separate occasions I've left my house to be met with a parcel at my foot, with no note nor text to tell me it was delivered. All of my biggest problems with regards to parcel deliveries have been with Fastway and it's gotten to a stage now where I get anxious seeing their name come up on the tracking number, because I know I'm not gonna see that parcel for at least another week.

People [oh] who want everything done right away but leave the dryer full of clothes so i cant use it.

Couriers TAing me too.
I have all my work done and have tomorrow off but I'm waiting for a delivery before I can go. Due today before 6:(

People using the term "Irish Stew" when they clearly have no idea what Irish Stew actually is.

Irish stew is made with lamb or mutton and is not browned or thickened.

The brown beef stew that your mammy used to make is NOT Irish Stew no matter where you are from, where the beef is from or where your mammy is from.
If that's what your mammy called it, she was wrong.:mad::mad:

I have no idea why this bugs me so much but it does.
Perhaps it's because I love Irish stew.:p

I have no doubt that her brown beef stew is lovely but it isn't and never was Irish Stew.

What on earth is a “funko pop”?

Google it, grandad.

It's a large headed, puny bodied plastic pop culture collectable figure.
