Diogenes Dec 2016 6:24pm, 19 Dec 2016 19,425 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes While I'm here, can I add a vote for commuters with wheeled suitcases, especially at the top and foot of escalators. Also, petty rules and trivial complaints. Ironic, isn't it?
Carpathius Dec 2016 9:01pm, 19 Dec 2016 10,930 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Kids wearing black on a dark night running out across the road from between two parked cars. I was so shocked (and relieved I stopped in time) that I didn't even open my window to remonstrate with them. The van driver who got into the right lane at the roundabout (for turning right) but then cut me up by going straight ahead instead, and at the next roundabout about 20 seconds later got into the left lane (for left or straight on) and almost side swiped me by carrying on round for the third exit. Cock. The twelve people cycling on the pavement when there's a perfectly good cycle lane on the nice wide, straight road and the large proportion of the twelve who had no lights on. Fuckwits. [I've had a great day, can you tell?]

CStar Dec 2016 10:03pm, 19 Dec 2016 6,389 posts	Quote Pin CStar Travis Perkins articulated lorries cutting across the kerb and then parking on double yellow lines making a small road virtually impassable. Oh and the arrogant wanker driver who said 'Oh so are you going to give me a ticket then?' and walked off. Frankly I didn't expect anything else.

Fellrunning Dec 2016 7:45am, 20 Dec 2016 1,800 posts	Quote Pin Fellrunning That blow by blow commentaries on the latter stages of various reality/celeb based TV shows such as Strictly, Bakeoff, The Apprentice etc,. that appear on mainstream news outlets alongside proper news. Having half a five minute hourly radio bulletin taken up by which halfwit "celeb" has done what in Strictly* is deeply annoying. Ditto the need to keep me informed on an hourly basis about the FTSE and Dow Jones. Why? Once a day is plenty. The only exception being the time that the voting public took the pss and kept voting for John Sergeant when he was (allegedly) really awful. Its the only time I've listened to the Jeremy Vine show and laughed. A rare moment of sanity.
