As I get a little older and longer in tooth, things seem to get to me a lot more than before. I went to a house auction tonight and having been before, sort of new what was coming. A row of seats and some big bugger takes the outside position, and doesn't want to budge. Typical of lonely British people wanting to sit alone...selfish, I blame Gordon (stinky nugget) Brown!
After about 8 pints of lager I normally need one. On an attitude level I am getting more crotchety as I mature. My daughter knows me affectionately or otherwise as MOG. Miserable Old Git!!! Things that annoy me: - Rudeness - allowing other drivers priority and then they do not acknowledge the fact really does for me and they usually get one or two fingers or both!!! Not at the same time of course as I would have to take both hands off the wheel and that would just not be safe!!! People not saying thank you when you open doors for them or let them through doors before you. Mobility scooter drivers - just that. Apologies if any of our contributors use one. Cyclists - they think they own the road but don't pay a bloody penny towards its upkeep. They are wearing it out as well aren't they? Pedestrians - crossing roads without looking and then being totally shocked when you toot your horn at them. They seem to get upset when I explain that they would be annoyed if I drove on the pavement so I expect the same courtesy from them when they need to step onto the road. Bloody hell - just read that lot back and think I need to enroll on an anger management course to deal with my road rage. And don't get me started on bloody reality tv. What a waste of licence fee money. Feral hoodies - with their hoody tops, stupid caps with big peaks turned at a jaunty angle, worn out trainers and tracky bottoms with their hands permanently stuck down the front exercising the 5 fingered widow. I do like small animals though so not totally bad.
Nearly forgot - being sat in a row at a concert or at the cinema and some twat in the same row needs to go for a jimmy every 15 minutes so you are endlessly getting up and down. Even worse is when they are sat about 3 seats from the other end of the row but are so pissed they insist on coming your way and disturbing the other 20 people in the row. This is fresh in my mind as it happened in our row at the Paloma Faith concert last Saturday. We just knew this guy would be a total knob from the way he walked across the floor to get to the seats. He was like Frank Gallagher from Shameless but not as classy.
Women in rugby tops. Women in cowboy hats. In fact Egg International Days. Adults wearing replica Liverpool/Man U/ Chelsea tops etc. The wurzel accent. Max Boyce Jack plastics singing Max Boyce Songs.
I'm from Cardiff originally, but moved to the South East in 1981, living in London at first, then Tunbridge Wells in Kent. My wife, 3 boys & I moved back at Christmas 2004, and we haven't looked back. The one thing I've noticed though since moving back, is the appalling standard of driving around Cardiff & the Vale, with amber & red light jumping seeming to be the norm. On one occasion I was stopped at a red light coming out of the sports village down the bay, when the car behind me reversed and went round me and on straight through the red light!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and if I'd have had my wits about me I'd have taken the ****s number & drove straight to Barry police with it. Believe me, that incident is just the tip of the iceberg. Grrrrrr!!!!
Ah, a man after my own heart. Not the knob driver. I was driving through Rogiet, a village just west of Caldicot the other day, sticking to the 30 mph limit as I see a speed camera van there from time to time (and I always stick to the speed limit anyway when another knob (could have been the same one as you Quo) sped out from behind me, overtook and then turned right about 100 yards later. Why, what was the point? Then my wife gets upset with me because I gave him the shake and vac hand signal.
Got my speed rehabilitation class on Tuesday afternoon...£85. I wonder at 36 MPH, who is gonna laugh first?

people who use US American slang like "Pisses you" as opposed to good old fashioned Anglo Saxon coloquialisms like "What pisses you OFF"
