Things we hate in Central London

edited August 2009 in Not Sports Related
Free paper distributors - London Lite, City AM etc. Feck off, I dont want your free paper so don't thrust it at me or chase me across the pavement. How the feck any of them get so excited about dishing out free papers is beyond me. The City AM bloke outside Cannon St station is especially annoying.

Cyclists! Been done to death on here but the red light runners and those cycling down the wrong side of traffic islands.

'Charity' reps... posh students trying to smart talk their way into some commission.

People walking whilst reading a book or looking/typing on their Blackberry etc.

Any others?

    ShootersHill Rd today how the f**k this cyclist is alive i`ll never know. Was waiting at a red light with a bus turning across me all other lights red. This cyclist comes through the red light across front of bus who has to do emergancy stop. Must have missed squashing the prat by inches. It was one of those motoring moments when you say out loud "f**kin hell".

    That's four pretty annoying groups!

    I'd add people that, when crossing a busy road, do so diagonally and carelessly cut in front of others trying to reach the safety of the other side.
    Tourists who stand in large groups in the middle of the road/tops of staircases/at the entrances to tube platforms
    Studenty types sitting on staircases.
    People who run for trains that aren't going for 5 minutes

    People who moan about the greatest city in the world especially when citing examples that have nothing to do with being in Central London : - )

    The charity muggers/callers/stoppers down the Strand, but the time you get to the end and passed 20 on the journey its very close to explosion time

    People who dare to dawdle along the pavement, large groups - particularly tourists and school kids on trips to the theatre, anyone who behaves in a manner that suggests that they either don't know or don't care that I am in a hurry or who seems to be deliberately trying to thwart me on my daily return trip from Charing Cross from Charing Cross to Kingsway. Bit irrational admittedly - think it might be the pedestrian equivalent of road rage.

    Charity Muggers are subhuman scum. Fortunately I generally look so angry and unapproachable whilst walking, usually as a result of the people in the previous paragraph, that they no longer bother me.

    Fat, old gypsy women occasionally to be found selling lucky heather along Neal Street near Covent Garden. Given very short shrift, I can tell you.

    It's been an emotional release to write this!

    Great shout! Could not agree more. I do not wish to feel obliged to pay a quid just for taking a leak and then washing my hands after!
