Stuff that REALLY annoys you.

[disciple]

There are psychotic car drivers and suicidal pedestrians, sure, but there is something about pedalling that really brings the worst out of people. Maybe that is those lycra shorts squeezing you bollocks or that self-righteous 'I am greener and better than anybody else' shite they are full of. Does the cycling make you too Jesus-like so you can ignore all the rest of the highway code or just plain to fail to see what the fuck you are doing to the rest of the road users?

See I just don't get this, what harm does it do really to nip onto and off the pavement for a few seconds to get round an obstacle. It's not really causing any issue.. is it? Yet people seem to get incredibly upset about it. Jesus-like? Self-righteous? It's just dodging a bit of traffic.

* People ignoring you when you let them through whilst driving. Is a small nod or wave of thanks simply too much interaction for some people

* Motorbikes. Especially when they're sitting about an inch away from your rear quarter-panel before either blazing off into oncoming traffic or creeping into your blind spot

* Windows product activation

* Companies whose method of informing people that they have not been successful in their job application is to simply ignore them. Even just a form letter would be nice rather than having to guess (Jagex, I'm looking at you...)

* The people on eBay who massively overcharge for delivery.

* The iTunes Music Store. Specifically, the fact that if I want to listen to my purchased music on my MP3 playing car stereo, I then have to burn the tracks to an audio CD and re-rip the pissing things to make them playable.

* Plumbing that decides to succumb to Murphey's Law over Christmas

<phew>

Travelling by plane. I have yet again had some luggage lost, and frankly I am so annoyed. Since the new stupid regulations were put into force, out of 4 journeys I've lost luggage TWICE.

Haha, you'd *hate* it in Canada; nobody EVER waves thanks. That kind of car-based etiquette seems non-existant here (on Vancouver Island, at least). As for changing lanes, NO fucker will ever let you pull out.

And don't include a power cable?

That is, regrettably, largely untrue in my experience. I have experienced the same behaviour from blokes a great many times. I doubt that many women, however, react as aggressively as many men do when they have no attraction to your gender.

I'm not aggressive - I wouldn't hurt a fly. I suppose that's the point.

Just needed somewhere to vent...

Most women like assholes, you need to accept that and get on with life. If you are a nice, decent and smart bloke, you will probably die alone. If I were to look at ten relationships my female friends has been in, I could say without lying that perhaps one or two of them was with guys I'd consider a "catch"...that is, in a non-gay way.

No insult ment to those of you with girlfriends...*whistle*

I never had a problem with that on the island

People always let me out

This really grates with me too. Particularly after you've had an interview with them and neither they (iSOFT) or the agency you went through (ecsbirmingham) have the basic professional courtesy to let you know.

People who fight for a seat on the train (usually as far away from the doors as possible) even though they're getting off at the first stop - and then huff and puff as they have to fight their way through all the standing passengers to get off!

(The same goes for buses).

GET ON LAST AND STAND FOR FIVE MINUTES YOU F**KWITS!

I've been holding off posting in this thread, because I'm worried that my venting is going to cause me bad karma, but fuck it.

(1) Music production obsessives. 'Mnyaaah, the bass-guitar is too left of centre, the Hi-Hat is a little rubbery...' Yeah, and when you're finished worrying about that maybe you could write a tune which doesn't repeat the same fucking 4 bars for 8 minutes. Also, add audiophiles to this. Gold plated fucking leads my arse.

(2) Pissed old men who sit next to me on the train and burp into their mouths and slowly exhale their cider and stomach acid smelling breath at me. I'll puke in your fucking lap of you're not careful you stinky old cunts.

(3) The Jamaican people with a stupidly broad accents who give me shit for asking them repeat themselves loads. Speak clearly for fucks sake, its not my fault I can't understand what you're saying.

(4) People who criticise other people's spelling and grammar on the internet. Sure, someone's spelling has offended you, but that's just half the story isn't it. What this is really about is your desire to further re-enforce to yourself your own perceived superiority. You know it, everyone knows it.

(5) The word 'gotten'.

(6) People who insist that you taking the bus to an unknown destination is easier than taking the tube. Yeah, i might not have to change trains, but if I've never been to this place before how the fuck will I know when to get off the fucking bus, you mongoloid.

(7) Those programs that lure you into having a sneaky a wank late at night by flashing you tits and muff, then without warning cutting to a scene of penile operation or fanny surgery. Christ alive, at least give us a minutes notice is it?

That'll do for now.

My lecturers are terrible for that.

[swith]

(8 ) Fat people who tell me I smoke too much. You eat too much for fucks sake, but I'm not allowed to say that out loud am I?

(9) Grown men who cycle on the pavement in London. Where I come from, only little girls with stabilisers on are allowed to do this.

(10) People who play tinny R&B on their mobile phones on the train.

[piku]

(5) The word 'gotten'.

The phrase "It's all good". No, it rarely is.

The fact it still takes my PC two minutes to boot.

All the paperwork I have to do for this course. Nobody will read it, it serves no purpose.

The same goes for pointless lectures and silly short lessons. I am in University today for TWENTY MINUTES. Yes.. Two-zero minutes. It took me longer to get here.

I'd put it down to jealous rage

There's my one then - drivers who deliberately try to block bikes and motorbikes from making progress through stopped queues of cars (normally all with one person in them of course). What are you, four years old? Oh, and people who won't fucking "merge in turn" even when there's signs telling you to do it, you morons.

You went for a job with iSoft? By choice?!

(Bursts into peals of laughter).
