Lizzie50 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I need to put some more things in please ~ little old people that are 105yrs +, cannot be seen or see over the steering wheel and still driving neighbours - I want a house in France with land and no neighbours my arms - not my whole arm but just the fatty bit my body - not my whole body just the fatty bit(s) designers (of clothes) - there is someone out there who thinks it is funny to design the same style of clothes for a 14 year old size 8 girl and a 50 year old size 18 woman just by adding a lot more material! the term plus size - hardly inspiring!

meezers Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Slow drivers who travel at 30 miles an hour ( in a 60mph zone) with 20 vehicles stuck behind them, while weaving all over the road and braking every time something comes towards them I've been stuck behind 2 this week !

Guest Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Slow drivers who travel at 30 miles an hour with 20 vehicles stuck behind them, .... that reminds me.... Driving at 30 mph in a 30mph limit with 20 odd cars up your back end. What does the advert say "It's 30 for a reason!" Not to mention I've been done for speeding before so there's no way I'm going to risk more points and another fine so back off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I always seem to get stuck behind the Black Cab doing 40 on the motorway - but I can't get round because everyone else is going round me!! I have GOT to learn to be quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Same with Wagon Wheels. Time was when they were the size of a dustbin lid! I've heard it said that small children often fell over struggling to lift a Wagon Wheel, and older ones used to manoeuvre them along the road in a 'hoop and stick' method with the aid of a two foot long Curly Wurly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The several groups of people that live around us that have loud, ground- pounding parties (with screaming) all night. Last night we had Bhangra which isn't exactly soothing music, the party started at midnight and went on til 3am, husband had to get up at 5am, the kids at 6am. Not a happy group of people.

C&T Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 People who own very old and blind dogs, that take them on walks off any lead down a busy cycle/foot path in "rush hour" in the morning, laughing at the poor cyclists doing their best to avoid said dog who is wandering all over the place as it can't see, saying (while laughing) "oh it's not his fault, he's so old and blind you know". Ha ha flippin ha. I suggested it might be safer for the dog as well as other users of the tow path if she used a lead.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Same with Wagon Wheels. Time was when they were the size of a dustbin lid! I remember those; they are a total disappointment now The several groups of people that live around us that have loud, ground- pounding parties (with screaming) all night.Last night we had Bhangra which isn't exactly soothing music, the party started at midnight and went on til 3am, husband had to get up at 5am, the kids at 6am. Not a happy group of people. If they are making anti-social noise between 11pm and 7am, then you have every right to report them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 People who work all day and leave their dog outside to bark.......why bother having one? People who walk along the road eating.......urggghh! People who are ALWAYS late......just rude! People who are contantly negative......drain, drain, drain! (Have Wagon wheels actually got smaller or have our mouths got bigger?!)

chickenanne Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Litter generally, but I reserve my strongest rages for those who chuck stuff out of car windows. Why?? WHY?? Where do they think it goes? People who do it should be taken out and shot: no warning, no court case, no right of appeal, just shoot them. I can put up with all sorts of other stuff, but for that. I can even think of extenuating circumstances for murder/theft/etc, but not for chucking stuff out of car windows. Nope, they should simply be shot. Drivers who tootle along at 40mph with a huge que behind them, never thinking to pull in to let people past..... then continue at the same speed through villages, not thinking that the 30mph limit applies to them becuase they're "such safe drivers". Motorists who, driving at 60mph plus, pass cyclists with about 12" space. Slow down, wait till it's clear, then go. Cyclists who go in groups along narrow roads, with the outermost one on/near the white line in the middle. Oncoming cars have no chance of leaving them anything resembling a safe amount of space. Gives me the heebeegeebies every time. Holiday/second homes, especially in areas where there is a housing shortage. I could go on....and on....and on....

henriette Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Ooh, I have enjoyed reading every page of this thread I'm going to add the following: The poo that the dozens and dozens of swallows make in our barn (where we store masses of things) every summer. It smells disgusting and looks horrendous. We have bought loads of plastic sheeting to cover everything, but it is still really disgusting. I do love the swallows though. Spam in my email box People who refuse to smile back at me - actually, I think I just mean rude people, but someone has already mentioned that Horrid tasting medicine Tablets that have to be taken orally but are the size of suppositories Passwords and pin numbers. I know they're necessary, but I frequently get a blank spot and can't remember them. (nothing to do with my age, of course ) Dirty public loos, especially the ones that have notices saying that they are checked at regular intervals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Palmer Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I hate litter louts - it usually tends to be youngsters you see throwing it eveywhere, but interestingly I was sat at the bus stop this morning and this old chap sat down next to me and proceeded to unwrap the packaging from his cigarettes and throw all the bits on the ground. I was really shocked, he must have been about 70 and should know better. I'd put him in twice, once for the litter and once for the smoking. Or maybe three times - he can go in for being a bad example to today's youth as well! I've just thought of another one. Those 'free prize draws' where people at shows or on the street take your name and phone number and say you could win a holiday and surprise, surprise, they ring up and say you have and it involves time shares etc. Mind you, if you say you haven't got a credit card, or don't earn much money, they can't get off the phone quick enough!
