Hate this too. Also when people are reading Kindles on the train or bus, especially when they do not actually read anything and just flick through their book collection. Just read a proper book you twats!
My minor gripes at the moment, cyclists on pavements, especially if they pass you from behind without using a bell to warn you. People who don't put their dogs on a lead, there's no point in me putting a lead on my dog if they don't. Mams who do the school run in their PJ's, wearing the token Barbour jacket and Ugg boots. That'll do for now.
Been discussed earlier I think but this is so ****ing horrible it needs to be mentioned again: Idiots who stop dead in the middle of a street when right in front of you, with no regard for anybody else or anything outside of their miserable little existence. Oh, I'm walking down this busy street with people all around me; I know, I'll just ****ing stop right here immediately and have a bit of a think. Somebody did this to me once and actually complained when i slammed into the back of them. Sort yourselves out you cretins.
Drivers who don't indicate when making a turn and I'm trying to cross the street, ****s. Seems to be a lot of those types around here, or Boro is just trying to kill me.
Christmas shopping at its finest. Oh, its crowded and theres a small gap that people will want to walk through? i'll just stop in it and ponder lifes existence
Had a similar experience in a department store in Newcastle, I was coming down the escalator with my four year old nephew, when we got to the bottom, an elderly couple in front of us literally stopped dead. There was nowhere for us to go, I ended up walking on the spot whilst they were discussing which direction to go in. I picked my nephew up by the scruff of the neck, unfortunately there were more people following us down so I had to continue forward. I gave the guy a tiny shove, he went beserk. My nephew not the politest of children shouted "What you trying to do you bloody idiot, kill me, I'm only four you know"
I think I've ranted in here about cyclists before. Scum of the Earth, I hate them both as a pedestrian and a motorist. If it's too far too walk, drive, if it's close enough to walk, walk. Get off the road and get off the pavement. I hate the ones who brake and then indicate. Are you ****ing ******ed? Or the bastards who indicate right whilst turning off a roundabout. Another that gets on my tits is when you're driving down a narrow road wide enough for one car at a time, some twat drives to the end of their driveway, sees you coming, pulls out towards you, and then stops and sit their looking bemused when there isn't room to pass side by side. GET BACK IN YOUR ****ING DRIVE!!
Can't remember, but I have the perfect reply for old people when they are rude, "Geriatric Yobs", works for me.
This reminds me of those people who don't get out of your way while on the escalator down to get on the subway/metro, especially those assholes who ignore you when you say excuse me. Apparently it's impossible for people to just stand on the right and stay there and impossible for them to realise that sometimes other people are in a hurry. It's particularly annoying as my local station has Europe's longest escalator . please log in to view this image
on the topic of ****e drivers: twats in the outside lane on a roundabout who just drive straight across, via the inside lane... (also, on that escalator; no anti slide thingys down the middle. my inner child approves)
I get annoyed by twats that run for the underground when they know it's a maximum 5 minute wait until the next one.
It feels pretty normal actually because it goes insanely slow. Though when you're going up, if you look back down when you're near the top it can be a bit disorientating. Running up is possible (if people get out of your way!), but if you're unfit its probably a seriously bad idea.
I'll happily straight line a roundabout if there's no other cars around. Not if other cars are on the roundabout tho.
