People who throw rubbish out of car windows - or eat their Macdonalds in the car park, then just open the door and dump the rubbish on the floor.

i like people who put it under the car using a toddlers logic that its gone away now. then drive off and there is a f***ing bag full of mcdonalds in the middle of a parking spot. there really are some people who are a complete waste of food and air.

The newspapers currently being full of end-of-year quizzes and reviews. I read the papers pretty much every day...I can remember what has happened over the past 12 months so I do not need a review, or worse, a quiz to remind me.

(Hollingbury Asda Car Park) Scum that caused a large amount of damage to the car of my folks' neighbours (Both octegenarians and one suffering from Parkinsons) and then felt the need to leave a false telephone number to con the concerned public. :nono:

Tescos carrier bags they seem to be made out of cling film these days and always break. Also when you walk into a tesco and there are two staff standing by the self service checkouts watching you in case you need assistance. Why employ staff to watch you do their jobs for them

I love the fact carrier bags are falling to pieces. It does persuade more people to use a greener option. I'd like to see them phased out completely.

In the main supermarkets yes and I don't use carrier bags but when popping into an express on the way home not everyone carries a reusable bag with them everywhere they go!!

Agreed but at least Tesco don't charge for their bags. I am always buying bags for life only to leave them in the boot of the car. Why can't supermarkets issue those large paper sacks that you get in America to carry your shopping to the car?

People who don't know the difference between affect and effect. You affect something to cause an effect!

Car drivers who get in a piss when overtaking me on my bike. It's going to take you 2 bloody seconds longer to get to the queue of traffic at the next traffic lights.

The way Australians make every sentence a question by going up at the end.

People not realising that starting a sentence with, 'I'm not racist but....' means 'I'm a complete racist'.

Robbie f**king Williams - what a complete c**t.

Robbie Williams: good call :thumbsup:

And people who get their babies' ears pierced: it is utterly WRONG to have a three month old child (or even a three year old child) with studs in their ears.

This indeed. In an amazing stroke of misfortune last week, when I got off the bus last week with 2 tesco carriers they both split at the same time. Unbelievable. Shitting bastard in fact.

Bus drivers beeping cyclists to get out of the way. Disgraceful behaviour, they should show more respect. I can only apologise to the busload of people I then deliberately held up in retaliation. I feel I was making a valid point though, and I felt like I had public support.

"jump the shark" maybe it's more a thing said by americans, but it seems to have very little meaning. Most of the time when people say it, they simply mean "I'm not enjoying the show any more", but it is frequently just thrown around because people think it makes them sound like a student of television arts, like their opinion has more weight.

Excrement! Like your style. Nothing like cycling slowly in front of several tonnes of rolling machinery, as I have done myself on occasion to make a point. Not quite the Tiananmen Square geezer and the tank, but the same idea. :thumbsup:
