Today I came across big dollops of dung on a public footpath at two locations.
Dog owners get fined for this kind of offence. Why don't equestrians?

People who claim to have no interest in something but feel the need to comment on it, often in a derogatory manner, over and over again.

The bin bag's full, you knot it at the top then carry it outside. It's at that point you stand on the stupid plastic stringy thing which snaps off in the process. You then have to pick it up carry it about until you've put a new bin bag in place to get rid of it.
I really hate these things.

There's no bin bag in it yet. You have to carry the dirty kitchen roll , open the cupboard and manage to get a new bin bag off the roll and open it , all one handed.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

Phone calls from scamming *******s.
Got a call this evening from some guy, barely able to understand his accent, he kept calling me Mr Matthew - you've got my name right in front of you, you dick.
Asked if I'd been in an accident, so I said i had. He asked if I'd been injured so I told him I'd lost my neck in the accident.
He asked if I was going slow, so I said no, I was going at least 75. I told him I was racing the other guy.
He asked if it was sunny, i told him it was snowing. He pushed me for a date of the accident, I said I couldn't remember, he said two or three years? I told him to pick, go with two, I said.
He asked what month, I said it was definitely either July or December, probably July.
He asked if it was morning or afternoon, I said both. 4 o'clock. About breakfast time. He ignored this.
He asked if I was in my own car, I said no, on a push-bike. Going down a massive hill in the snow.
He asked if there were any passengers, so I asked him how realistic it would be to have a passenger when you're going 75 in the snow down a massive hill in the snow racing someone.
I told him my ski had got jammed in the pedal, and that's how I crashed. I said it's not easy going on a bike with skiis on.
He still was taking this information in when he asked for my address, so I told him I didn't know it. He asked how I could not know my own address, I told him I'd had a massive head injury in a bike accident, which was my own fault for having a massive head.
I enjoyed that call.

Today a lady came out a store at the Fort and got into her car. The car park was choc-a-blocka.
I'd stopped to wait for her to reverse out. I waited, and I waited, and I waited. Eventually I drove off to find another spot.
God knows what she was doing.
This really ticks me off. If they are not leaving, why can't folk just shake their head as the enter their vehicle when the see you sitting waiting patiently for their spot.
It's ignorance in either sense of the word.

Straight faced lying customers hoping to get a repair for free. I get called out for a repair and when I arrive I get told that it's not worked since I serviced it 6 months ago.
I can check how often they have used it though and take great pleasure in telling them that the machine that has not worked for 6 months has magically been testing patients every day.

Tyre PSI instructions . Why say 51psi on the tyre if it should only be inflated to 32 psi as per door check ?
Seriously , I was driving about with tyres at 51psi until I mentioned it in the pub one night and was duly corrected.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

I even asked them to look at the warning light when it was in for service . They obviously didn't check the tyre pressure .
From the day I picked it up , I always thought it was a bit skittish on damp roads. I had been driving like that for 5 months .
The pressures for the car are on a sticker on the door strut.
I only found that out about 2 weeks ago :
Reduced it from 52psi to 32psi and it now drives like a dream.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

Without much knowledge would the tyre not indicate the maximum PSI it can handle? with so much over inflation your are lucky nothing serious happened

Its depends on the weight of the car and how that weight is distributed (hence, sometimes, different pressures for front and back).
I read/heard somewhere that for an average car, the total amount of tyre surface in contact with the road is roughly equivalent to a piece of A4 paper. Over inflate your tyres and it'll be even less.

Doctors waiting rooms. Nothing worse than being stuck in a small room with 30 people who are coughing and sneezing every where. Clatty barstewards, especially the ones who don't wipe their kids noses.

Shops/Stores/Post Offices/Banks/etc
Anywhere where there's a huge queue and there's only one or two tellers serving whilst several other qualified servers fanny around in the background trying to look busy.
I find post offices and government/local authority departments the worst for this.
