You do, actually. I never said "a rusty old banger is as good as a new Rolls", just that I don't get car nerdiness and snobbery. Same goes for guitars, incidentally.

Xela Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Car stereotypes. Its always BMW/Audi/white van drivers then inevitably get the blame but bad drivers drive all sorts. Today, the drivers responsible for my post earlier, was Mitsubishi, Nissan, Ford and an Audi. On the subject of cars, most modern cars piss me off. They just look bland and similar to each other, bar a few. Bizarre thing to be pissed off about but hey, its what the thread is for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjvilla Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Old people and their **** blind arrogance that they can do whatever they want and **** everyone else.

leemond2008 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Oh man I have only recently returned to the forum but what has happened to this topic? this used to be a thread about things that **** pissed you off, them little tiny things that made you want to tear the world apart and spit in the hole that was left behind what happened to setting people on fire, volleying people in the jaw, doing them up the wrongun just to spite them and wishing death upon a single mother just because she was texting whilst pushing a pram. come on lads its time to really vent your feelings, let it go, if you don't then I may need to get started again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post snowychap Posted September 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) People describing themselves or describing others as 'passionate' in all forms of working life. If it relates to anything other than sexual acts or love poetry then it's trite shite. 'I have a passion for....' - Oh, **** off. 'We want candidates with a passion for customer service.' - You **** what? What kind of a word removed has a 'passion for customer service'? And whatever kind of person it is, it's not the type of person I want handling my weekly shop. Are you interested in bettering people's lot? Yes, I have a passion for it. - You cock.

Ryan. Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The phrase 'going forward' really **** me off. No one ever uses that phrase outside of work, and the rocket polishers that use it in work are the sort of smug jobsworth words removed that are trying too hard in life. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) People who use the the saying 'broke the mould' to mean 'did something completely new/different'. That's not what it means. It means 'made it so that no further improvements were possible'. As in 'they broke the mould when they made you' - i.e. you are unique, the last of the line.

Chindie Posted September 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2016 The standard of driving seems to have nosedived on my commute this week. I've had to use the horn more since Wednesday than I have since I passed my test. Highlights include nearly being sideswiped by an A Class who decided that they could just change lane when they like and magically not hit anything, and a 206 who thought he didn't have to check the oncoming traffic when joining a main road. Oh and the idiot who decided to make absolutely no effort to get their car out of the way when they broke down so just left it blocking a lane at rush hour on a ludicrously busy road. Especially as where they left it required only rolling a few metres to stop on waste land, or slightly bearing left and leaving the lane usable. Oh and the word removed that's half blocked my drive way tonight because he needs the turning cycle of an Airbus to pull out behind the car in front. Speaking of cars, I saw the laziest woman I think I've ever seen in the car park this morning. She was so lazy she couldn't be bothered to park and go to the machine (a 5 second walk at most wherever you parked) so just drove to the machine first, then waited in the car until I'd got my ticket to prevent having to queue and stand for any length of time, then drove to the nearest possible parking spot to her destination. Unsurprisingly the woman was big enough to crush a toilet to dust with her arse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but they didn't know it was a drive, or They don't see the problem, or Where's the yellow lines? or, Where's the dropped kerb? or, That only indicates where we're not 'supposed' to park, or There isn't anywhere else to park my car (within 200 yards of the pub I'm playing skittles at), or It's our road you can't tell us where we can or can't park. Oops. Too much of a rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Midfielder Posted September 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2016 Here's one. When you're using a tablet / ipad and youre surfing the net.... you have decent speed internet connection and say you're on a news site. The page loads up, and as you place your finger on the selection, the page does a rapid reload, and in that very split second, where you placed your finger became an advert. Then before you know it, you're taken to a new page altogether in a new tab for some random ____ that you're then waiting to cancel but sometimes have to wait for it to load just to cancel. Sometimes I'm positive it's done by them on purpose. Or that the tablet itself should just not display anything at all until the page was fully loaded. Don't give people some half arsed page that then rejigs and reformats again, just show it fully when it is ready . Such a minimal thing to get p'd off at. I never learn ether, but when you see what you are going to click on, you click on it as it is there, not as it suddenly jumps an inch down the page. Birmingham Mail page is one for this. The amount of time I've spent closing windows on random hairdryers, holiday companies, new car adverts. Gits. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
