    People who only moan about political rants on CL when they don't like what is being pointed out. 

    You could have highlighted the more recent "People thinking that water companies will be able to recruit any credible leadership, with the aim of resolving the position within which we find ourselves, if poor performance resulted in personal bankruptcy and / or imprisonment." from Sporadic, or you could have highlighted both...

    How can this even be classed as taking a thread called, 'general things that annoy you' off topic if you're pointing out it's something that generally annoys you?

    Try harder.
    Don't do it.
    Thank you 😊

    And to be clear…my point wasn’t a political one - it didn’t look to argue a political point or seek to create a debate. Rather it was an observation about being annoyed by people’s lack of common sense when spouting political statements - therefore it was also a criticism of a political post.

    Surely as a criticism of a political post, it automatically becomes political?

    Russians are horrible bastards. Crude, boorish, pot-bellied, neanderthal wankers, in my limited experience. Can't stand them.

    Agree, all those I’ve encountered while on holiday have been arseholes of the highest order. However, met a lot of really nice locals when I was in Moscow a few years ago.

    Maybe. I hope you're right, but there's a knackered old TV on the pavement a bit further up too. More likely someone's having a clear out I think.

    Hasn’t someone got a doorbell camera? Then you inform the council and get them done for fly tipping.

    People who contact you on Teams, just put Hi, how are you and don't say what they're contacting you about. Even more annoying is when they hit return after every sentence so you receive multiple messages. I make a point of not answering until they actually tell me what they want.

    AUDI Beckenham, 
    Been pestering me for weeks about a new car. (My present car is 15 months old and less than 10k miles)
    Filled in an online form about having a camera fitted to my present car ,no reply. 
    Phone rings this morning, Mrs picks up “Audi Beckenham!”
    Jump out of shower, “ Do you want to know what we have in stock?”
    Give the salesman what for, he puts me through to Service, Explain what I want, no problem will call back. 

    “Audi Beckenham here, do you want to know what we have in stock?”

    I think the 2nd part is a generational difference. Instant messaging style for 30's and under is very much line by line compared to those above that age who like to write essays!
