Bus lanes
Wasps
people who don't use indicators or the lights on their car, you would think they are linked to the mains at home

All the sodding lorries trying to avoid Tollbar and so holding me up on my previously quiet route.

People who at deserted roundabouts still feel the need to stop.

People who think a 50mph speed limit means 30mph.

Shouty people at Tollbar

People who cut around in the wrong lane to get round the queue at Tollbar and then seem surprised when you stay in the lane you're in.

Tollbar.

Tollbar.

Oh, and Whitley until recently.

The moron who decided Tollbar and Whitley should be done at the same time.

And Keniworth /Crackley.
And Junction 15 M40 still has tragic lights which are redundant due to spending gazillions on the junction
as with most other giratories -which are essentially crosdrads.
Back to junction 15 which Immediately follows the slip road out of Leamington on a bend, ridiculous ,as Is Catthorpe.

Bloody Isle of Wight ferry prices! Cost a small fortune just to go across to the mainland for a day trip!

I would consider £80 a bargain to travel back in time 30 years, what are you complaining about?

pipkin73 · Aug 22, 2015

People who say "i've never ..." and then say for atleast 1 year etc. If you have never seen/done/said it fine otherwise don't say "i've never". Really pisses me off.
Mrs does it all the time. So and so is coming over "never seen them for 2 years" ahhhh!!!!!!

pipkin73 · Aug 22, 2015

People who moan about dog mess, if it pisses you off so much then just pick it up lol

pipkin73 · Aug 22, 2015

Slow internet connection because it's to hot. They say it's because it's wifi, i say it's because they are shi(crap). Living on a hot all year round island, you would think they would solve the problem. Supposed to be 10 but get about 0.256-1 when the heat kicks in big time.
p.s. any tips, apart from putting my receiver in the fridge lol

Toilets normally on the first floor, come on we spend most of our time on the ground floor. Why put them so far away. Forget the larder, put a toilet there

I can think of two good reasons:

1) People don't like having to come downstairs in the middle of the night

2) The smell

The chances of some kid's futures around our City, when I see/hear the example being set by their parent/parents - whether that being the sausage roll/cheese puffs hanging out of their pushchair, the language being used around them, the shouting at them (instead of talking to them) or the reek of cannabis coming off parents' clothes.... i could go on.....

Hate people like that, one at a game last year teaching his kid about 5 or 6 how to shout the c bomb.

I'd be distraught if my daughter said that

Add to that kids who are very picky eaters because they only ever eat rubbish

Baby boomers who moan constantly about low interest rates and not getting interest on their savings. Be thankful you've got savings.

In fact baby boomers full stop. The generation who have had it all.

Middle lane drivers.

Are people really so thick in this country they can't understand the concept keep left?

They're thick enough that there's one speed camera around here on a 60mph single carriageway road. Because it's single carriageway, now and again you'll have a driver slam on his brakes to go through the camera at 30mph:facepalm:

Also, drivers who wait at deserted roundabouts, or who by me don't indicate s when I'm trying to cross the bloody thing by foot, I have to take my life in my hands.

New Whitley works are some of the worst for staying in the middle lane. It appears some are incapable of working out that a 2 lane carriageway becomes 3 lane. More scary are the ones joining towards Cov from Warwick who seem unable to realise the lane they're in when they join becomes the inside lane of the main carriageway, so forcing themselves into the middle lane in font of quicker traffic is maybe not the best idea.

Cold callers.

I appreciate they're only trying to make a crust, but its past a joke these days - particularly as I've put my number into the opt out preference thingy.

And the people who knock your door despite the large note saying please no cold callers thanks. I tell them sorry, there's no way I would deal with a company who employ people who can't read.

I pretend to be deaf, and have them bellowing down the phone at me for a few minutes.

That always consoles me.

I especially love doing that with cold callers who are selling hearing aids.

My eldest son is totally deaf. He doesn't have a problem with cold callers either.

chocolate bars getting smaller, but more expensive.

Wagon wheels are now about the size of a 10p, which in itself is the size of an old 5p

Yep, hate that and simply do not understand it. On Instagram too it seems to be the goal to just take as many selfies as possible.

Why would you post a photo of your dinner? Why would you need to tell everyone you are at Frankie and Benny's?

Macca · Aug 23, 2015

Cyclists who ring their bell about a second before flying past you on a joint footpath / cycle path as if you shouldn't dare to be there. Sad middle aged fat funtclaps

I'm on it but go on rarely sometimes not for months at a time, most of the stuff is total garbage on there really.

Houchens Head · Aug 24, 2015

Have to admit I'm on Facebook, but as I have so many kids and grandkids that live all over the place, e.g. Coventry, Bedworth, Nottingham, Derby, Suffolk, Swansea & Cork, and I have three close friends who live in Germany and Spain, and me on the Isle of Wight, I find it a great way of keeping in touch. There are some pathetic posts on FB, I know, and I simply ignore them or make fun of them!

Sick Boy · Aug 25, 2015

The Americanisation of the English language. Why do so many wankers use 'smart' for intelligent or clever?
