People who overtake on the motorway by drinking towards your rear bumper at 900 miles an hour!
That really is scary!  :o
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

They're funny down there; you'll end up in the Wicker Man!  :D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I will have to stop reading this thread because I keep thinking of more.  :)

Adverts that say 'our best ever' now with added &*^%$ (insert whatever you want). Are they telling us that all their earlier stuff was cr*p?

How come these 'experts' keep finding new plants and extracts of said plants to add to beauty treatments.

I think I had better use a blanket 'I hate adverts'!!!!

Railway companies that keep putting up the price of tickets in the face of sh*te service.

Sunday opening of shops. (Holds hand up because he uses them but remembers when everybody managed to cope when they were shut.I would be perfectly happy if they were shut.)

Staff name badges. Hated wearing mine when I worked for a multi-national supermarket chain. Why should I want people knowing my name when I will probably never speak to them again. If people want to know my name all they had to do was ask.

People who don't acknowledge when you hold the door open for them.

University graduates who are fast-tracked to managerial positions because of their degree, most of them have the life skills and common sense of a comatose wombat.


Too much pollution, they say. Cut the number of cars on the road, they say. Use public transport instead, they say. Then the bus and rail companies put their fares up. You work it out.

Privatisation. That's just me, I'm not trying to start a political debate.

Cyclists who think the Highway Code is not for them and it's okay to jump red lights, pull out in front of or change lanes in front of cars. Is it any wonder why the accident head count is rising. And this is from a non-driving cyclist.

Mwah hah hah...my work is done  :d

Cyclists who slow me down on the way to work, seem to think they own the bloddy road and don't pay a bean in road tax.  THEY cause more pollution because everyone's engines are less efficient as they try to get round!

Boy George was on the Today Programme defending the fact the Chinese were building a power station here.  Apparently that is a good thing because the Taxpayer doesn't have to pay for it.

How can anyone not see the flaw in the argument?

It's sad when you hope that the people in power are corrupt, because the only other explanation is they are completely insane.
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Yes.  The whole world seems to be run by people who've never done it at ground level.  If you're the Minister for Education, you should have actually been a teacher or worked in a school at some point.  Minister for Health?  Should have worked in the NHS, and not at management level either.

I used to manage pubs for a large chain, and the number of nonsensical drinks promotions we had sent down to us from head office was ridiculous, all of them thought up by a Business Studies grad with a calculator.  The best one was 'Buy 10 Budweiser, Get 2 Free!"  If any of you know any barmen, ask them how often they've sold 10 Bud's in a single round...

- People who say "it's always in the last place you look". Of course it is, if you find it and then keep looking then you have serious problems that years of intensive therapy won't even be able to help with.
