Pet Peeves IV

[Hibrandenburg]

Delivery van drivers who double park and force traffic to merge even though there's an off road parking space directly next to them. Not sure why they do it but the only conceivable reason is that they save time whilst costing everyone else time.

Not confined to delivery vans, H-g.
There's loads of inconsiderate barstewards on the road. You can start with buses although, now that they have half the road dedicated to themselves, they are not as bad as they used to be.

People who own a 3 series BMW and have a private plate with some sort of reference to "M3" in it when the car clearly isn't an M3.

Ha ha I've noticed that as well. It gets worse though as they've started selling them and other cars with the "M" body kit. So it's basically a standard motor with the sporting credentials. It's singing checks it can't cash.

Idiots that toot their horn numerous times at 6:30 on a Sunday morning.

Get out the car and knock on their door you lazy *******.

That annoys the **** out of me too. There are a few neighbours and their visitors that do it when coming to collect and also when driving off after a visit. Why do that? The person you've been visiting is standing waving so who's attention are you trying to grab? It's woken my 2 year old up a couple of times. Thoughtless and pointless.

My boy is a terrible sleeper and I could count on one hand how many times he's slept past 6am, today was one of those days until that ******** started tooting his horn trying to get one of my neighbours attention.

I'm going to assume he's a golfer, hope he had a ***** round and lost loads of balls.

If it was before 7am it's illegal.

Far be it for me to suggest grassing someone and short of running on a football pitch 11 months ago it's unlikely you can do anything to get Police Scotlands attention but maybe one to take up with the local Noise Team if it's an ongoing issue?

'Mummy' blogs.

More specifically, sexist ones that don't recognise that when men are away at work all day we're actually working, and in some cases working hard.

This does my head in. We've also got our nurse that does the boys check up and if I manage to go to said check ups without fail she says in a patronising manner 'oh is daddy here today . does my head in, if I could I'd be at every one of these things i would be. I'm sure he would much prefer clothes on his back and food in his belly!!!

Yeah.

Tin hat on here but I think mums get a pretty good deal after the kid is born with 9 months to a year off and then part time work. Don't get me wrong, they deserve it after all they go through during pregnancy and it's only right in most cases they have the option to stay and bring up their children, to present that side of it as some sort of hardship is utter bollocks though. I'd love to give up work and do all the sort of things like you mentioned with my boy but needs must unfortunately.

"I can't have a hot cup of tea" ......eh, aye you can, the kid sleeps during the day, sometimes twice!

Wouldn't bother me if it wasn't for blogs like the one I mentioned that seem disgusted if 'daddy' dares to try and have a seat when he comes home from work.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Coz that's all they do eh?

Tinhat time.

Parents that give young kids iPhones and iPads all the latest mod cons then complain that they are skint as little Timmy burst his phone and it HAD to be replaced with a brand spanking new one, no need whatsoever. Kids nowadays have no respect and when they break it they just get another one.... really teaching them how to look after things eh.

For the person that mentioned mummy blogs, don't go on mums net. Some complete roasters on there that think the world would stop if these individuals didn't exist. :D

The bit that upsets me is it's a women's right to bear a child but as soon as it's born she can give it away. What about the right of a child to be born into a loving family who longs to care and look after the child. Sadly all too often kids are seen as a commodity in order to meet some unmet needs.

I don't see where "unmet needs" come into this. There are many valid reasons why a woman can't or won't abort a child but giving the baby up for adoption is or seems the best thing to do.

Not at all. It's one of the greatest things a person can do imo. I mean women choosing to have a child for reasons other than being ready to take on the responsibilities of aren't hood. What I mean by that is, to keep a man, to get a house, because nobody else loves them etc.

I understand and not really meaning that, sorry. As above, where a women actively chooses to fall pregnant with some kind of motivation which is not purely motherhood.

You'll be even more peeved when they pick it up, put it in a plastic bag and tie it to your fence or a plant in your garden.

The phrase "haters" - my son mentioned it the other day and it appeared to include everyone and anyone who had been in any way critical of a player (Cummings). I had to explain to him that having objective or constructive criticism of something or someone doesn't mean that you hate them. It's a reflection of the polarised society that we have now, though.

Its just more Americanised pish along the same lines as "my bad".
