Buy yourself a hummer that will get rid off your frustration.....ME14addick said:Macronate said:Large supermarket car park with loads of spaces. Park mine with plenty of spaces either side. Come back and the two spaces to the left are now filled with the driver of the car now next to me literally squeezing to get out of his car with his door nigh on touching mine. There’s still hundreds of fucking spaces available elsewhere and Mr Bright Spark thinks that the best place to park is in a bay which makes it difficult for him to get in and out of. Give me strength.
Car parks haven't kept pace with the size of cars these days and as I drive an ordinary hatchback, it's frustrating to be stuck between 2 SUVs that take up so much room.
......coincidently a Hummer is the name of a huge American SUV buying one of those would work too!0 -
No no no! You misunderstand. It’s only there because there is an urgent need to solve a traffic issue and this is the only practical solution 😉😉😆😡usetobunkin said:Box junction enforcement cameras being installed as I write at the Green Lane William Barefoot Drive junction.
Should be an absolute gold mine for LBG!!1 -

People who ignore the direction arrows in car parks and then expect you to get out of their way when they go the wrong way.7

My electric toothbrush. One of the fancy Oral B iO ones.
If I brush well for the requisite length of time it gives me a starry eyed smile. A near miss gets me just a round eyed smile. Brush for a little under the prescribed two minutes and it's a wonky look, like it's slightly disappointed in me. Brush for only a minute and a half because you're running late for something and it frowns at me with a sad face thrown in.
Smug, judgemental little fucker.
Hasn't even got any teeth of its own. Prick.
What's worse is that I'm starting to need the validation. Of a fuckin toothbrush. Sheesh.18 -
Getting a message from the club screaming 'WELCOME MARK GOLDBRIDGE!'. I thought we'd signed a new player. Turns out it's just some Yew Tuba.5

She found him in their bathroom, one foot up on the toilet seat, his crotch just a blurred fist and one of the vibrating Gillette razors up his night fighter. He stomped off in a paddy when she started to tell us. He reckoned he could hear the roars of laughter the best part of a mile away by the time she'd finished telling us23 -
Just back from a weekend in the Peak District as went up for some Car Camping / Photography.
Christ the amount of people stuck in their own little worlds now, ignoring what's going on around them or just plain ignorant.
Whenever I'm out with the Camera, I never act like I own the area, instead if someone is already in a shot that I'm trying to take, I'll patiently wait for them to move out of scene before capturing whatever it is I'm after - Same if I see someone else trying to take a shot of something, where I'm about to walk in their way - I'll tend to wait for them to finish, and then continue walking... Instead this weekend, the amount of times I've tried taking an Image only for someone has walked in front of me has boiled my piss (Handy for keeping warm in the car at least)
To top it off, I was up Mam Tor yesterday, had a brief bit of light, but was forced to wait about five minutes as two people walked in front of me, and then stopped to sort their pissing bags out, whilst glancing at me every few seconds as I made it blatantly obvious that I had a camera in my hands and was waiting to capture a shot - I know we're all trying to enjoy the outdoors, but just be a little bit considerate for others!!

Parents like that are inconsiderate and annoying, but it’s also the teacher’s responsibility to tell the parent to wait until they’ve finished dismissing before they start the conversation.Chunes said:When I go to pick up my child at her classroom door but one of the parents has decided to have a five minute chat with the teacher while everyone else stands around waiting for them to finish.2 -
I have no issue in general with people being out and about with colds / illnesses in public. Pre Covid no-one cared.
For some reason though, someone clearly full of cold (and judging by their continuous dry cough and sweating, COVID) was in the gym this morning and it really annoyed me.
I suspect the annoyance is because people go to the gym to be deliberately mentally and physically healthier and being trapped in a confined space and sharing equipment that he had spluttered all over means I’ll inevitably be ill and pass it on to my family and defeats the purpose of going in the first place.
He was quite taken aback when I told him to keep away from me.
In hindsight it was illogical as going to the gym doesn’t grant me immunity from illness, but I’m still annoyed.
I’ll put it down to my age and being miserable.1 -
Buying a 2nd hand car and finding annoying little things out later,i.e.the 2nd car fob needs a new battery,the windscreeen washer was empty,tyres slightly under inflated(yes I could have checked that,but not really visible until onboard computer informed me.),nothing major but still should have been avoided.1

Yeah, they did. It'd do my nut in when I'd have to sit next to some selfish so-and-so who thought their job was more important than everybody else's health. I could accept the poor buggers who'd been unfortunate enough to have other health issues and who'd be on report if they took any more sick leave, but the 'I've never taken a day's sick in my life' brigade genuinely sickened me.SOTF said:I have no issue in general with people being out and about with colds / illnesses in public.

the owner probably didn't know the key that he doesn't use needs a new battery, (I have a BMW and the key charges itself when put in the ignition so if you don't use it it runs down). And it's hardly an issue to top up the washer bottle (which I wouldn't consider something vital before sale), and some people drive with slightly inflated tyres to get better ride comfort. It would be more of a concern if you found out the spare has a nail in it, or the washer bottle leaks like mine does.thickandthin63 said:Buying a 2nd hand car and finding annoying little things out later,i.e.the 2nd car fob needs a new battery,the windscreeen washer was empty,tyres slightly under inflated(yes I could have checked that,but not really visible until onboard computer informed me.),nothing major but still should have been avoided.
You are buying a car after all that has been used, if you wanted a new car you pay the extra.

Bournemouth.
2 up against Arsenal and they're filing out of the ground with over 10 minutes to go.
Been in the Prem long enough to make the ground bigger to actually have a ground capable of being an actual premier league club but no, they don't.

I recently discovered the Oxford English Dictionary app. You can hear the word being spoken by a male or female ‘posh’ sounding voice. I’ve been driving Mr Tatters mad by turning the volume up while he’s trying to do his sudoku and playing swear words. This morning’s word was ‘wankery’. This is spoken by a male voice whereas the more gentle sounding lady announces ‘wanker’10
