    The wife kept 2 of the little uns overnight as the schools were on strike today and their Mother's were working.I've went for a bath tonight and discovered that they've been using MY Matey bubble bath AGAIN.!!!

    This isn't a standard gear grinding issue,it's totally wrecked my torque converter...Little ****s!!

    I don’t understand the hate for BMW’s, probably because you have never driven one, I have two of them, one I use as a work vehicle, anyway I find the worst drivers, are the ones, quite old who wear hats, drive a 15 year old Daewoo Matiz or similar, at 35mph on the Hedon bypass.

    Or ****s on the way to With, who brake and and accelerate at every speed limit sign, to within .05mph of the limit

    Any hunters that aren’t hunting to eat.
    Big game hunters can **** off too.

    Seeing middle aged blokes out in shorts in January has really started to irritate me so stop it.

    Even worse when they are postmen.



    Edit:

    In fact, what grinds my gears?

    Postmen.


    The aforementioned shorts.

    They don't deliver for days then everything comes through the door at once. Late.

    They don't even carry the mail anymore but pull it on stupid little trolleys.

    They wind me dog up something chronic.



    And don't get me started on the ****ing elastic bands!



    And stamps? What's that all about?

    Barcodes my arse.

    It’s ok if they’re wearing Donnay socks pulled up to their knees.

    Eee, when I were a lad, we used to dream of living in shorts, but all we could afford was an old cardboard box....

    It'd prob take me all day to go through everything that pisses me off in life, i'm a particularly grumpy and impatient person.

    That said, it boils down to 2 broad areas, grammar and slow/inconsiderate people.

    People not able to tell the difference between their/there/they're and your/you're, people who use 'what' instead of 'that' (e.g. saying that cat what's black). It really isn't hard.

    People who walk 3 or 4 abreast on the pavement and move at the pace of a ****ing snail, people who move slowly in general and people who just stop in the most inconvenient of places without any thought for the people who are around them.

    People who only wear trackies and scruffy joggers and tee shirts , take note Albanian and Romanians - don’t you have any decent gear !!! Our lot do it too - just to balance this up !!
    And girls and women walking down Anlaby Rd at 4 in the afternoon in effin dressing gowns and mules - get dressed !!
    Don’t trust people in black joggers and trackies cos they look as tho’ they wear them for days on end - get a shower and change your clothes - the modern Rab c Nesbitts LOL

    "Absolutely."
    "Brilliant." ...

    ...separately or together, as they rarely are?

    This is one of the reasons we switched to Aldi/Lidl for our weekly shop. Not paying over the odds just because I refuse to share my data with them.
    At Christmas I was in a queue with a basket for a normal till with a lady human working it. One of her colleagues told me I 'needed to use' the self scanners to which I politely declined. She carried on badgering me so I simply handed her the basket and said 'I'm not going to bother actually'. Its the only way these idiots will learn. It was their jobs I was trying to protect by using the tills. And like you Urika I went to another store and got 2 x packs of crumpets for the price of one in Tesco so I was a right smug t**t for the rest of the day.

    I find it really difficult to pass without accidently damaging their wing mirror, sometimes, allegedly. As you have said it is selfish, happens all the time outside the School in Hedon and you have parents pushing prams down the middle of the road.

    You might enjoy this tune by the band who have been chronicling what grinds the country's gears for over 35 years now.



    See also, car drivers who beckon you across the road with an index finger rather than inviting you to cross with an outstretched palm.

    I've never driven one, I am a Jaguar driver like local dignitaries Lord Prescott and David Burns, but they're clearly nice cars so dont get the hatred. What I do hate is the young arsewipes who drive those really cheap BMW's, the small ones, and fly in and out of lanes on Hedon road and motorways. Whenever I come across a nob on the road committing a minor traffic offence or speeding violation it generally seems to be a little BMW, a Mini or one of those Fiat Bubble Car things.

    People who do stuff on the cheap to save a penny or two then cry and whinge when it all goes tits up. See budget airlines, drop off airport parking, hire car firms you've never heard of, on line banking only bank customers for a few examples.

    I honestly don't get this 'hatred' of Tescos and more specifically their clubcard.
    I've heard several people say they refuse to get a clubcard. I don't understand it. I use it. I get some good savings. I also get a shedload of clubcard vouchers (not physically as it's all electronically) once a quarter, which have helped pay for all sorts of things, like nice meals out at Pizza Express, car breakdown cover, significant money off a new phone, railcard, etc. I have no problem and get no hassle whatsoever in relation to them somehow allegedly 'using my data'. Not getting one is likely one or a combination of laziness, fear of technology, or stubborness resulting in cutting off your nose to spite your face.
    I've never been forced to use a self scanner, ever. Most times I choose to use one as it's it's usually by far the better option.
    And their on-line ordering / delivery service is very good.
    So, my additional grind is therefore people who slag off Tescos for no good reason.
    Ooh, and that's just reminded me. Possibly the biggest one of all, the lazy selfish ****s who park in Disabled or Parent & Child parking bays.
