    Being drunk.

    Office politics/reading between the lines. You got something to say, say it and say it plain and simple and don't get all precious about it if someone says or does something you don't like. It's just a job and given half a chance we'd all be outta here doing something we actually enjoy so stop acting like it really f***king matters to you. And I meant what I said, not the spurious interpretation you've conjured out of thin air.

    Musical Snobbery - so you don't like Cold Play/James Blunt/whatever, that's fine, doesn't mean it's necessary to talk about them like you have some kind of vitriolic hatred, just don't listen to them.

    People who are always worried about what other people have and they don't. Concentrate on making your own life better, not dragging everyone else down to your level.

    Alan Green.

    Families who the moment a relative dies start squabling over who gets what from the dead man's posessions. Have a bit of class ffs.

    Musicals.

    People who want heads to roll everytime someone makes a mistake.



    People who can't take responsibility for their own actions. So you screwed up. Say you're sorry and try your best to put it right - do that and everyone except the arseholes in the category above will respect you for it. Don't try and pretend it didn't happen or pass the buck.

    Oysters. Love shell-fish, but Oysters are so expensive yet so meh.

    People who still think it's funny if there's somekind of suggestion a
    man might be a homosexual (the Top Gear type humour). Grow up ffs.

    Boardwalk Empire. I should be all over this but it just bores me.

    People who think your class or background defines you. David Cameron is a twat because he's a twat, not because he's rich and went to Eton. Criticise his politics and his personality, not the circumstances he was born into into and the decisions his parents made for him. Inverted snobbery is just as bad as people looking down on the working classes.

    People who break the rules of message board lists a give more answers than the original post asked for.



    Not a huge fan of folk who write 'This' after quoting another post on CL.

    However.....THIS

    Good to see Wasps getting a lot of stick on here....fecking hate them. Stinging beer garden pint glass loving twats!
    No, stop dissing wasps!  They are beautiful creatures that have a role in pollination and in killing parsites.  And they are the only insects hard enough to have a picture of a butterfly tattooed on their forehead:

    What I don't get are these little b'stards:

  • We are a weird bunch aren't we... people who don't "get" being drunk, beer/real ale, intelligent football fans, eating meat, crime watch... I think you need a thread about things you don't like, not what you don't "get".

    The fact that people criticise the UK for defending the Falklands, one of its colonies, from an act of aggression by Argentina yet those selfsame people eagerly endorsed UK involvement with wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya when there was no direct attack on UK interests. 

    Why so many people fail to indicate when turning left. they must have known how to indicate when turning left when they passed their tests so why not now?!

    I find this mostly happens with German built cars! Do they not install indicators ?

    Mate, my post about eating meat wasn't because I don't 'like' meat. After fifteen years of strict vegetarianism I still crave a kebab, chicken sandwich or tuna melt but I made the choice to give up meat for ethical reasons. I could no longer 'get' why anyone would want to put the dead flesh of another sentient being in their mouth. Just like I'm sure most on here don't get how some cultures can eat dog meat.
    I just chose to include all animals, not just the cute and cuddly.

    My next door neighbour, who is 62 used to say the same about Real Ale, and to be fair, 15 years ago, i'd have said the same but now he says its the best bit of advice he's had in years. He drinks it instead of lager and no longer gets the hangovers or the acid / reflux guts that he did have. Coz its real and doesn't have the chemicals.

    He didn't like it but had a lemonade top on it for a week or so now drinks it straight and loves it - sounds odd but persevere and it will pay off.

    Having said that, if i just want to get steaming on a big night out i'll probably go for the lager and the chemicals in it to get that buzz and to hell with the consequences.

    1. Women who have those bags that they have to carry on the middle of their arm with their iphone/blackberry in the other hand get a proper bag you can carry properly and put the phone in it and stop blocking the pavement!

    2. People who slag off where they live yet continue to live there, just move!

    3. People who jump on a bandwagon in order to show disgust e.g. poppies
    4. Celebrity obsessions
    5. Tim Minchin - it seems to be just me but I don't find him that funny, sometimes he can be amusing but others seem to get way too excited
