Now't wrong with any of the above.  To add my tuppen'orth:

* The use of "less" when it should be "fewer".

* Bad grammar and syntax generally, such as scattergun apostrophes.

* text spk, wch iz def nt great!

* Bigotry and intolerance.

* Flat tyres on my bike.

* Inconsiderate drivers when I'm on my bike.

* Foxtons, and in particular their abject failure to sell my house.

* War, famine, disease.  They suck.

* Reality TV shows (esp. Big Brother post-Jade).

* People famous for being famous / infamous (e.g. Paris Hilton, Jade Goody).

* Col******r United, especially their current league position.

* Bitter that hasn't been kept properly, and/or when your pint is the end of the barrel... bleurgh!

That'll do for now.

Mine all relate to commuting at the moment.

* Ticket conductor waking me up to check my ticket when I cant get out the station without going through a barrier.

* People who put bags on seats and the groan when I want to sit down.

* The fact that I pay £310 pcm to commute from Brighton to London and yet I only get a seat 80% of the time and I cant get a train in either direction after 11pm.

* The fact no-one on the underground seems to speak English

* Ticket collectors that rate themselves as the nuts.

* People on the train that think they are Richard Branson because they take a work call on the train.

* People with annoying ringtones on the train

* People who have inappropriate chats,arguements etc when I am trying to sleep.

On the commuting front, death is too good for the following:

- idiots who stand on the wrong side of the escalators
- idiots with those annoying suitcases on wheels
- idiots who in their eagerness to get on the tube won't let anyone off

The sooner a punitive congestion charge is introduced to stop these fools the better. I would suggest £1,000 a day should be a minimum and they should count theirselves lucky that there isn't capital punishment in this country, as if there was they would be first ones to get a seat for sure.

I walk straight through those people when I'm getting off the tube. Rather rude maybe, but no less rude than they are being. Of course, this 'policy' of mine is likely to end in tears at some point. Most probably mine.

Kids who play music through their mobile phones and don't listen via headphones are annoying as well. Especially as they always listen to crap music.

Christ, yes! That should be enough for the death penalty.

I wouldn't mind, but for two things:

1, They always play sh!t R'n'B.

2, Music is not meant to sound like you've trapped a band of performing elves under a tin bucket and asked them to play their entire back catalogue.

Bingo. that was the only one that seemed appropriate as I was reading through.

I can agree with two of HKB's posts but the noe about suitcases on wheels I'm not so sure. For a non-driver like myself, it's how I get on holiday although I would never do it in rush hour

I find stopping and staring in disbelief at their stupidity with a look of contempt in your eyes normally makes them move. If you time it right on a busy train you can be held up long enough that you just have time to get off, but they don't have time to get on.

The alternative is to drop the shoulder. The trick here is to try and knock them out of the queue to get on. If you are the only person getting off a full carriage a nudge to the side can allow two people to get on ahead of them, consigning them to the next tube.

Its not so much the big suitcases (although they should be banned during rush hour), its those little carry-on/travel cases on wheels that really annoy me.

PICK THEM UP AND CARRY THEM. ITS NOT HEAVY YOU ARE JUST LAZY OR UNFIT.

AND DON'T WHATEVER YOU DO STOP AT THE TOP OF THE ESCALATOR TO SORT THE HANDLE OUT.

JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY AND STOP TRIPPING ME UP WITH THEM.

*and breathes*

 

[gilbo]

I hate thosmall suitcases being dragged behind their owners. you let the people walk in front of you as you are hurrying tho the station and not notice the suitcases until it's too late.

The idiots who stand still as soon as they get on the station platform at every underground stop. WALK DOWN THE PLATFORM! Why crowd on one eighth of the platform when the rest is free?!

tourists at liverpool street station who come upout of the underground and stop to stare at the departures board.

the chav in a silver mondeo following me down prittlewell chase after the sheffield wednesday. he swore at the ambulance as it tried to get past. what a moron.

morons who think that it is a good idea to try and start a fight with doormen. it ain't big it ain't clever, and chances are you will lose.
