Pet Peeves IV

[lyonhibs]

I think it's your other half, but I'm not 100% certain on that.

Regrettably, I'm led to believe it means your "before anyone else". Jesus f***ing wept.

Another one based on trains - folk who leave toilet doors open after they've used it. Barry mate, we'd all love that ****ty smell wafting about the place on our way to work.:rolleyes:

[PeeJay]

I particularly dislike the smokers out there who simply throw away their cigarette ends wherever they happen to be (most of them?), as if litter laws do not apply to smokers and finding a litter bin/ashtray somewhere is really not necessary ... come to think of it, you can add the chewing gum gang to my "pet peeves" as they seem mostly to also just spit out their chewed chewing gum any old place they feel like ...

and, living in Berlin, I hate with a passion all the so-called graffiti "artists" ...

[easty]

People who think their pets are humans -
A women at my work today is complaining that her dog isn't allowed to come in and use our treadmill in the gym. Like that's a reasonable request to make.
1/ it's a dog, not a people.
2/ you're not even a member of the gym so why would you even think your dog would be?
3/ walk your dog on the street, maybe then you wouldn't be so bloody fat as well.



People who walk in a random zig zag pattern along the pavement. Just walk in a straight line, you're not a battleship trying to evade a torpedo......get out my bloody way!

[easty]

When you go to the McDonalds drive through and order a meal, then they ask, do you want a bag with that. Nah, it's ok mate, just you take aim and launch that large fries randomly about the car when I get up to the collection window. They might as well be asking if I want my drink in a cup or just to lap it out the guys hands at the collection window.

Always refuse a bag save the money. You will get your burger and drink. Then your fries will appear in a bag as they have to be for hygiene. I do it all the time haha. On another note .. Remember when a drive thru was actually fast food. Now I find you have to park and wait most of the time

Ive walked past cars a couple of times at lights or parked up with their windows open and boys finishing off a fag. When they flick it out the window I do take great pleasure in picking it up flicking it back in and telling them i think you dropped this mate. It did get me in bother once but was worth it.

It's the ones at bus stops that really do my tits in. Having a fag, see the bus coming, then they start smoking as quickly as the possibly can so as not to waste any, then throw it on the ground......there's a bin about a metre and a half from them. Utter ********s.

Is there not a recognised difference between gender and sex? Sex being anatomical and gender being concerned with social and cultural behaviours and actions based on the sex.

They are often used interchangeably but there is a distinction.

My sociology lecturer used to bang on about that at Uni if someone got it wrong.

Sex = Anatomical
Gender = Socially constructed

When I was a lad, gender had naff-all to do with sex. It was a means of classifying nouns. There are 4 genders in those terms, Masculine, Feminine, Common and Neuter.

Seen it a lot the last couple of days with the talk of Celtic looking at Allan. It is people who comment about Celtic taking all the tallent in Scottish football, stealing all the best players yet will post on another thread or comment that we should go out and sign the boy from Queens / Falkirk / Raith / Dundee (delete where applicable). :confused::confused:

You cant have it both ways, complaining about better and bigger clubs taking your players to improve their team and theyn going out and doing the same thing to smaller teams. Thats football.

Agreed. No problem with the our players signing for Aberdeen, Arabs, or going south, etc.
The OF sign our players and don't even play them. Part of their exercise is to just weaken the opposition.
As I've said before, Celtic (and formally RFC) act like the spoilt brat in the nursery who wants ALL the toys.

They dont even play them? That is a bit of a myth from the old days is it not! Maybe years ago this happened. I'm sure Darius Adamcuk (sp) signed for the old rangers and they never played him but lately they all get a game. Correct me if I am wrong but I cannot think of a player who has moved from a team in Scotland to Celtic who hasn't had a regular game? Griffiths, Stokes, Mckay-Steven, Armstrong, Brown, Mulgrew. I can think of Zaluska but he was never going to be first choice.

Celtic will complain about not being any competition, nothing to do with them signing the best players, it is becuase they are a FAR bigger club, they want to move on and compete with the top clubs in Europe but because of where they are they are being left beind financially.

The price of stuff when you're at an event - pies at Easter Road, scran or a pint at a gig, etc.

Basically when a company is blatantly and unashamedly fleecing you for stuff that you can pick up for a fraction of the price in the supermarket.

I'm at the point now where I just don't buy it but it's a pain in the hoop not having the choice without breaking principle.

refs (in all sports) who apply the rules differently for each team.

Clive tyldsley. No, we don't all support the English team, we'd far rather hear a fair and balanced commentary thanks.

people who seem to have a problem with giving way to the right on a roundabout, and give dirty looks at you for daring to impede their progress as you follow the Highway Code.

people who are incapable of parking a car properly. It's not that hard, if you're struggling, practise. And when you get out, have a quick check and adjust it rather than just abandoning it.

shop assistants who stand and blether as one of their colleagues is trying to deal with a huge queue.

[Godsahibby]

With it being transfer season any talk of new players has to be accompanied by what role said player can play or what player role we need. Of course I blame Football Manager for the sudden requirement in the Hibs midfield of a Deep Lying Play maker or why Lewis Stevenson will never be a Complete Wing Back or can Jason Cummings really play the False 9 role,

Not a common occurrence so can't really say it's something that grates on me. But my car broke down recently on ferry road, as anyone would do I stuck my hazards on and called for assistance. While I was waiting for the assistance, people were going past in their cars tooting their horns and making angry gestures at me as if I'd stopped there because I wanted to. Really pissed me off.

Just because I've not rattled off my life story in the short space of time we've met doesn't mean I'm quiet, the fact that you're saying that means that you're a bellend though.

[Pretty Boy]

You must have expected it though. As soon as you walk in there you can see it's no really a regular plates kind of place.

Decent cocktails in there.

I expected it even more.because I sold them the stupid ****ing things in the 1st place! I at least expected my own baking tray.

Another is guys in.football changing rooms who shower with their boxers on or don't shower at all and put on clothes whilst still minging and go.to the boozer post game. You're in.your 20s mate, having another guy see your ***** for a couple of minutes in a communal shower doesn't make you homosexual.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Haha , not sure if you are taking the piss :-)
That's exactly what I have done this year. 2 apartments in Lanzarote. I really hope they are next door :greengrin

I'm not mate - 3 kids in my house as well. Wife doesn't like the 2 room thing - we don't believe they'll give us 2 together no matter how much they promise us.

Only ever seen that when I worked for a wee while with the Gurkas but they supposedly do it out of religious grounds. Still weird to see a grown man showering in his pants though.

Wow, this thread has really brought home to me what an intolerant grumpy cow I must be. Don't think I've ever commented so much on a thread in all the years I've been on here. But have I mentioned the lazy, ignorant *******s who load up their cars at the supermarket and then just walk their trolley a few feet from their own car and then just drive away and leave it to roll into someone else's car? Or worse almost, the ones who push it to within a few feet of the trolley park then just shove it in the general direction and then bugger off! You've taken it most of the way FFS, just put it back properly!

Wasn't trying to get a bite mate,it genuinely turns my stomach to see, it just does. Do I have the same problem with other people kissing in public no not really that doesn't bother me.Just one of those things I can't accept, nothing sinister in my post.My nephew is gay as are a few guys and girls I used to work with and still count as friends they know my feelings on this and it doesn't bother them really.

I find that very hard to believe and think it's far more likely that they simply haven't told you how much your attitude and others like it does bother them. However, I could be wrong and, as you know them and I don't, it's not really any of my business.

Kudos for your honesty, but I suppose it's this, apparently hardwired, discrimination that has to change if we're all ever to be truly treated as equal. That will probably take many, many generations though.

How would you describe it? I probably haven't described it very well, but for me it's either hardwired (instinctive if you like) reaction or a conscious choice. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing you're not saying you make a conscious choice to discriminate against gay men?

I think straight people get more upset than gay people over gay rights. Surely if everyone is to be treated equally then you have the same right not to like it as other people have the right to like it . one peeve for me is people who are to ready to be offended. Same goes with pussy footing around religion . I must say I had to applaud the Aussie prime ministers statement i read this week .basically telling all incomers that if they want to be in aus they live the aus way. If not they can use the freedom as gives them to move somewhere else in the world

This is about agreeing with the contents of a speech (made up I now accept) I never knew who released it. Its funny how people go on about letting people live as they wish but if your views are that you should be able to live without having these views forced down your neck that is wrong.

I'd say that's nonsense. There may well be some straight people who get more upset about certain gay rights issue than some gay people, but I wouldn't say it's the majority.

I would agree that everybody has the same rights not to like something, but everybody also has the same rights to challenge prejudice and discrimination wherever they see it. Without people willing to stand up and exercise that right, whether it be on their own behalf or on behalf of others who are straight/gay/white/black/brown/male/female/Muslim/Christian etc. we'd be in a very dark place.

The gay rights thing was personal experience. My friends who are gay get more upset by people getting offended on their behalf than anything else. They like being treated the same in our group of friends as everyone else.. Some of my mates get ripped for being fat, ginger, the girls you pull and them occasionally for being gay, its the way we all like it. No discrimination . all treated equal. But then you get other people saying it is wrong. That is all I meant .

Yup. Desperate playground stuff. It wouldn't be so depressing if this wasn't the usual standard of political discourse in Scotland since the referendum.


Absolutely correct.
The standard of debate and discourse is utterly abysmal. personally I feel that if people are not willing to talk about issues and just lapse into clichéd garbage (using language like RedTory, SNPBad, labourBad, quisling etc) then they're not worth listening to.
I find it absolutely incredible that my SNP pals are completely unwilling to criticize bad legislation from the Scottish Government like the upcoming Named Person plans which are an atrocious, invasive and unworkable mess.
"Must not criticize the party and all that" which I find utterly bizarre.

People who take more than a reasonable amount of time at a cash machine when there are other people waiting. I reckon the maximum you should be there for is 60 seconds and I'm being generous with that. 99 times out of 100 you know in advance that you're going to the cashline so, when you find yourself there, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it's asking you for your PIN, whether you want to check your balance, how much you want to withdraw and whether you want a receipt slip. What are people doing at these things?

Also, people who ask you for the answer to a question and then don't believe you when you tell them. If you weren't going to believe my answer, why did you waste both our time asking the question and having me answer it?!?

Finally (linked to the above), people (usually partners) who think that their mum or dad know the answer to absolutely everything there has ever been to know. This is particularly annoying when it results in the sentence, "my mum/dad said the same as you". Aye, they did - cos it's the ******* answer!

They're not actuallu legal tender,they are legal currency but acceptance is a choice of the individual. I am in England every month and just use either an ATM in England or a HSBC/Nat West one in Edinburgh before I go which both dispense English notes. I can't be ersed arguing the toss anymore.

100℅ spot on. No one has to accept the notes as its just a promise token to pay 5 English pounds to the bearer. I use them in Pompey and they always hold them up to the light. They don't like when I do the same with the change to wind them up lol

Folk who change they way they speak according to how important they think the other person is. I appreciate that many people will have their everyday 'normal' way of speaking and then maybe a professional/telephone voice.

What made me post is listening to a colleague who is currently in flat-out arse licking mode to a client, speaking to him as if he was a toddler only using bigger words. She has various levels of sookiness depending on the "importance" of the person on the other end of the line. Does she not realise that people see right through this and think she's ridiculous?

The same colleague also automatically recites everything she knows (or thinks she does) about any subject that arises to show how clever she is - again she often ends up looking like a cretin.

Be yourself hen FFS! If your a decent person and/or are good at what you do professionally then people will respect you for it. Trying to impress often has the opposite result, with a little knowledge being a very dangerous thing.

Gimmicky news reports - one example is where the reporter walks off screen to the left, then it cuts to him walking on screen from the right in a completely different location.

Also, sections in programmes like Football Focus where they put in 'clever' little tricks like messing with the colour or switching to different camera angles for no reason. One recent interview had the words appearing on the screen one at a time as the interviewee said them all in different fonts and colours. And the montages they put on where someone recites poetry in a portentous voice or they play a bit of music that is sometimes, but not always, relevant to the subject.

All pointless and not nearly as clever as they think it is.

[Geo_1875]

News readers/reporters who can't speak English. This mornings example was "... for 6 consecutive years in a row..."

Weather "girls" who think there is a place called "Northren England" or "the Northren Isles"

[WeeRussell]

Static shocks when closing car doors on warm days (e.g. Astras are guilty of this).

Girls that suddenly becoming huge sports enthusiasts because the 6 nations/Andy Murray is on.

95% of football chat I see on facebook.

Scottish public bus drivers' attitude (generally speaking).

Wimbledon commentator (I think it's Andrew Castle).

People who "absolutely love" a band that have been around for years and can name 4 songs.

Littering.

[Future17]

Aldi checkout staff. What's their effing hurry?! Even if there's no-one behind you, they fling your stuff through like it's about to burn through their hands. Then if there is someone behind you, they start firing their stuff through before they even hand you your change. Nae need.

What is that all about? It's also compounded by the tiny area in which they place your shopping after scanning the barcode. You basically have to pack your bag on the floor.

[Dan Sarf]

Folk that do puns on message boards.


They should be punished.

[Geo_1875]

They should be punished.

Or punched.

[Dan Sarf]

Or punched.

Preferably by a pundit.

[snooky]

Preferably by a pundit.

... or a puny punk.

[Dan Sarf]

... or a puny punk.


Punctiliously, I hope.

[Hibrandenburg]

People who pick their noses in public toilets and think it's Ok to smear their findings all over the walls. Why would you do that?

[Keith_M]

Just a note on the difference between Bank of England v other UK notes.....


BofE notes are Legal Tender whereas the rest are Lawful Tender. As Scouse pointed out, no one is actually obliged to accept the latter.


That is MY pet peeve. They should all be the of equal status under the law or should be replaced by a national currency (i.e. NOT BofE)

[Haymaker]

People who let their kids run riot in a pub or restaurant!

[Scouse Hibee]

People who don't understand how they actually want their steak cooked, then when it turns up exactly as requested they send it back as wrong.

[Scouse Hibee]

Hotel guests who think the room key card holds their personal information, mainly due to scaremongering emails that have done the rounds.

[Scouse Hibee]

Not a peeve but a favourite,shoplifters who thought you couldn't stop them as they hadn't left the store.

[O'Rourke3]

Drum Brae by any chance?
Seen some shocking driving there over the last week.
Coming down Drum Brae heading over towards Meadow Place Road, car two lanes over to my left decides as St John's is closed he is now going to go right and head towards Maybury,,,no idea how there wasn't an accident as he cut EVERYBODY up regardless of what lane they were in!
Close - Calder Road. Fair play though. Bloke today (clearly a Hibby) not racing but gesturing me through correctly[emoji106]

Transmitted mentally from my cortex

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The Wahanda tv ad with the daft cow with the guitar.

Dave the weirdo on the moneysupermarket advert, excuse my French but, wtf?

[Dav1986]

People who let their kids run riot in a pub or restaurant!

As someone who has worked in restaurants for years as a manager and a waiter, this. A hundred times this.

They also tend to be the families that leave their table and surrounding area an absolute state and say 'sorry for the mess' without even leaving a tip. Makes it easier to stomach cleaning up such a mess when you are left a tip at least.

Also on restaurants... people who come in and try to seat themselves even though there is a host, host stand and sign saying please wait to be seated 👊👊 usually trying to walk past the queue aswell!!

[snooky]

Pre-recorded telemarketing ads on the phone.
How utterly rude.

Tales from the hometown, Scouse?



:wink:

[matty_f]

Folk who do something wrong and then complain about getting pulled up for it, like it's the person pulling them up that's the bad guy.

Nope the Edinburgh institution that was Jenners before HOF ruined it.

Elephant Racing on the motorway (a lorry taking an age to overtake)

Even worse when they do that on the overtaking lanes on the A9 and no-one else gets past.

[Pretty Boy]

Walking poles. Seriously they do absolutely nothing but erode paths.

Nothing worse than seeing someome trying use poles to balance whilst going over a tricky bit of ground and leaning all their weight on them. 1st of all it's dangerous, if that poles gives you are hitting the deck with nothing to break your fall. Secondly the way you are standing makes you look like a 13 year old dancing with a pretty girld trying to hide the fact he has a semi.

Elephant Racing on the motorway (a lorry taking an age to overtake)

Yesterday on the M8 round about the Showcase Cinema area, I was in the inside lane doing about 50 mph. A lorry leading the stream of traffic in the outside lane was doing about 45 mph and getting no faster, annoying the traffic behind. No way I could move out to allow traffic to merge from the slip road aheaad and I wasn't going to break violently to let them come on ahead of me or to allow the outside lane traffic to pass me so I could move to the outside lane, so I accelerated a bit to get passed quickly. Obviously, I had to overtake the lorry on the inside, but it was chugging slowly with no indication of moving into the inside lane. The lorry driver blasted his horn for about ten seconds and flashed his lights like a maniac. OK I had to perform an illegal action but it was a reaction to a situation that seemed the right thing to do. I thought the 'professional' driver was out of order to react like he did and not read the situation. If I'd taken his ground, I could have understood his reaction.

I don't actually think its illegal to 'undertake' mate .. As long as it can't be classed as dangerous and you aren't speeding

[liamh2202]

From Highway Code - 268
Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions, you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake. -

[Just Alf]

So Jim, reading the actual rule shows you're in the clear :D

I've got a group of mates here in Switzerland and we go relatively often on group hikes. Nothing excessive, just nice hikes.

There's these 2 girls who INSIST on these stupid walking poles. Going downhill especially, it's completely illogical. If you take a fall you'll need your hands to break it, right? Not if they're holding on to some dickhead poles you won't.

They also think there's some sort of science behind them, like they've bought North Face poles and that justifies them moaning like little girls.

Suffice to say I am not shy in hiding my utter disdain for them.

[Pretty Boy]

Sticking with my walking gripes:

People who hack away at live wood to build a fire. It's disrespectful, it's unnecessary and it won't burn.

People who litter and try to justify it. Yes I know an Apple core will degrade eventually but it's a Munro summit in March, it's cold and it's going to look unsightly for some time. Take it away with you and put it in the bin you manky barsteward.

Competitive walkers. The guys who try to race you up mountains or along paths or bore you to death with how many Munros they have climbed, walks they have completed etc etc. Or who mouth off about how 'commercialised' the Southern Highlands has become and how they won't even entertain the notion of venturing south of Torridon these days. Or how it simply has to be North Face gear for us. Bore off.

[Scouse Hibee]

I always thought that was the case :confused:

Nope,if you've concealed the item and passed all till points making no attempt to pay and are on your way through or at the door you're fair game. We used to weigh up the offender first,far easier to contain someone before they leave if you think they will give you bother. The PF had no problem with it.

But i would imagine you WOULD be charged with driving without due care and attention... :greengrin

Anything you read in the Highway Code could be classed as 'Best' or 'Safe' practice advice.

It's not law.
