Stupid bl@@dy people that go down the up lanes in car parks. Doesn't the direction arrows or the way the cars are parked give them any clues.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Dog owners who don't control their dogs. Just because it's the size of a soccer ball and on a leash, it doesn't make it OK for the "cute" little fur ball to be snapping and growling and going berserk at passing dogs and cyclists - especially when the leash is about 18 feet long. The temptation is to kick the dog but it's the stupid human on the other end of the lead that deserves it.

And we totally agree - gives the rest of us a bad name, and you're right, it is not the dog's fault... An idiot with a dog is still an idiot, no matter how cute the dog is...

Re: Pet Peeves?
That reminded me of a funny quote by a pitbull owner. She said "There are no bad dogs, only bad owners". About a year later her own dog was put down after attacking someone. Okay, the quote wasn't funny at the time, but in context it is. Pre-emptively calling yourself an idiot doesn't make you any less of an idiot.
