At least they don't hear your accent, make a few incorrect mental leaps in their head, then call it a 'brogue' and bang on about how great the forkin' IRA are. I'd kill for a few 'cute accent' comments sometimes.
That's a big peeve of mine :banghead: I can imagine how annoying it is and was. |

Hey Bob, Having a bad day are you? Re:cyclists - they should be banned from nature trails, they come up silently behind my horse when I'm out trail riding and scare the poop out of my poor horse who in turn scares the poop out of me while he tries to escape from the monster cyclist. Cyclist oblivious to the rearing, plunging animal trying to ditch his elderly rider.
Zebra crossings? No such thing in U.S. step on one at your peril. How about the "WalMarters" who seem to think the aisles are gathering places to gossip and block fellow shoppers. Maybe it is just here in the south but I honestly think "WalMarting" is a form of clubbing! |

If the little one says "Shuuuush" one more time...she might be up for adoption, again.
People who double park. People who can't park. Getting ploughed in, especially by the town after clearing the driveway. |

Joggers who run on the road, instead of that running/cycle path, which is right beside the road. |

Around here though, where I am at least, mountain bikes aren't allowed on most of the trails, there's specific ones for bikes and horses....so it's not that bad.

Tricky one this. In NYC intending to cross on a crossing doesn't mean cars will actually stop. In say Seattle, a car half a mile away would probably start braking if you paused near one. In Italy you can hear them accelerate.
But speaking of, cars who don't stop when you're at a zebra crossing, those drivers need to be pulled over so you can take a shit onto their face. |

In no particular order:
- Excessively loud people - Bad spelling/punctuation/grammar - People who don't get irony - Political correctness - People - Overly familiar strangers - People who use all the bog roll and don't replace it - Arse-lickers - People who quote a 35 line post and respond with ":thumbsup:" or the like. Such creativity. - Prudishness - Nosiness - Republicans - Self righteousness - The fact that somebody will be pissed off by this post and will get all uppity and point out how horrible I am et cetera. It'll happen - mark my words. That's a non-exhaustive list, actually. I'm a bastard and I like it :p |
