Pet Peeves IV

[Mon Dieu4]

A cold pint of Tennents, I know Tennents is cheap and nasty and beer snobs hate it but it's my old faithful, I hadn't had a drink of alcohol since the 2nd of March(the derby, proof Hibs turn me to drink) yesterday when out and about I got a takeaway San Moretti as the fancy bar had no T, today I've just picked up 2 litres of draft Tennents from Brass Monkey on the Walk, **** its glorious

My pet peeve however is posting on the wrong thread:faf::faf::faf:

Where you sorced this draft T, would they do online orders by chance?

I must add I only enjoy it from draft, cans are rank.

Don't think they do unfortunately, closest you can get to an actual pint in my opinion is a pint bottle of Tennents, vastly superior to the cans of it

I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for this one but I'm going to moan anyway.

The Waverley Steps currently being closed. I've been walking to work lately and I cut through the station. For the most part the station is absolutely deserted, it's a bit busier the last couple of weeks but we are talking a couple of handfuls of people as opposed to the usual early morning chaos. The steps are completely closed and gated shut so the only access to Princes Street, from the station, is using the lifts. As I said until the last fortnight I was often the only person other than staff in the place so it was fine. However now it is a bit busier and only one person or one household is permitted to use either of the lifts at a time even a queue of 4 or 5 people can mean a 10+ minute wait.

I would think it is fairly easy to socially distance on a set of stairs or an escalator so I assume it isn't for safety reasons they are closed. The only explanation I can think of is the steps are owned by either the hotel or the shopping centre and because they are closed they have closed the steps as well. It just seems a bit daft otherwise.

Are the ramp roads closed as well as it’s not exactly a huge detour to walk up one of them instead?

[The Modfather]

More a moan than a peeve. We’re doing some work on our garden and ordered a load of top soil. Was delivered at 6.55, with guy ringing the bell and waking the whole house up including a none too impressed 18 month old.

Who delivers at 6.55am! 🤬

Knees. How badly designed and put-together are they? Proof if needed that intelligent design is bollocks, nobody intelligent would design a joint as poorly. I dread trying to find stuff in the bottom cupboards in the kitchen now cos I know it's gonna be a mission getting back up.

Craft brewery IPA's/dark beers over here in Aus. F *** ing terrible. Fizzy plasticy horrible swamp water. What I wouldn't give for a pint of Deuchars or Belhaven Best.

Why stop at knees? My ankles, knees and hips are all sore, all the load bearing joints. My shoulders no longer move in the directions they should without pain as well. I'm only 51!! I suspect that playing rugby for 30+ years hasn't helped

I used to drink the bottle version and it was always good. I didn't realise they still did produce this but I have moved on now.

I started at 12/13 and played my last game when I was 50. I loved every minute of playing, fitting in as many games as I could around watching Hibs. At school I would play two games a weekend, once for the school on Saturday morning and then once for the club on Sunday. I've broken more bones than Evel Knievel, my body is shattered due to it and I believe that it is genuinely having played hundreds of games if rugby. Always look played in the forwards, mostly front row. Would I change anything, nope absolutely loved playing rugby. The only thing I would change would be the clashes with Hibs games that has seen me either miss watching Hibs or missing playing rugby

Mine doesn't even try and lick faces as she's been trained not to since she was a pup. She doesn't get in the bedroom at all.

Dogs are amazing and mine is my world but there's a line.

My name is Stuart, my email address at work and personal contains that name so starting a conversation with 'Hi Stewart' or worse 'Hi Steuart' is just rude really. Do people think I deliberately spell my own name incorrectly in my email address?

Try living with Urquhart as your surname. I'm still learning new ways of how not to pronounce it.

My surname has been misspelled and pronounced incorrectly all my life. The best is when some folk think the first half is my christian name and the latter part my surname???

[danhibees1875]

I often get called David rather than Daniel.

It happened a few times and I put it down to my hand writing, but it sometimes happens over emails too.

To be fair, the words have quite a similar look throughout them, Da at the start, an i, and then the "el" almost squeezes together to be a d.

[matty_f]

Imagine being Raphael Scheidt!! A guy my ex wife used to work with was called Forbes Allan, she said at least once a day you would hear him in the phone saying "no, no it's not Allan Forbes" Must have messed with his head something awful

[Peevemor]

McDonaugh - it was bad enough in Edinburgh but it's a total nightmare here.

If I spell it for someone they always say "oh - it's not M A C ?" - no, it's M C and yes I'm sure.

Then they insist on putting a space between Mc & D, which means I'm in with the Ds and not the Ms when they try to find me again.

And don't get me started on the "augh" bit.

I don't use my surname in my work email address - far too much trouble.

Anyway, I used to work with an architect called Peter Caunt. His wife's name was Sally. She stuck with her maiden name. :agree:

[Jones28]

How’s this for a peeve? It’s not rude, and has zero consequence.

“Jones28” was actually lifted from the banner at the top of the website when it had the scorers from the league cup final flash up! My second name is Paterson but it gets continually spelled with 2 T’s. I even tell people when I’m booking a table over the phone it’s paterson with 2 T’s.

Really really petty. If I was on the receiving end of the call I’d write down 3 t’s.

[wpj]

My Surname only has four letters and I have heard so many pronunciations of it over the years.

[Mibbes Aye]

My surname has been misspelt all my life and frequently mispronounced, especially in Europe but also in the UK

To the extent that when booking anything for holidays - restaurants, concerts etc, we use my partner’s name. Hers gets misspelt too, as it is one of those surnames that have a few variants in spelling, but generally people can work out an approximation of the pronunciation.

Mine just causes chaos, with the maitre’d claiming there is no booking in that name, until you pull out your phone and show the email confirmation :greengrin

It did have its advantages in the army. When there was dirty jobs being doled out in the mornings the Sergeant would start picking people to do those jobs and it normally went something like this:

"Urk....., erm ooork, eh oorquoo.... urcher...... ****-it, Smith you do it.

Totally agree with the name one. My name is Fraser. Replacing the ‘s’ with a ‘z’ is common. I think I’ve had an ‘i’ added everywhere between the ‘F’ and the second ‘r’. I worked in a cinema when I was a student and there was a supervisor who really into stupid management phrases, his favourite being “there’s no ‘I’ in team”. One day I was covering a shift so he had to manually write my name and break time on the daily ops sheet. He added an ‘i’ to my name to which I told him “there’s no ‘I’ in Fraser”. He didn’t understand why colleagues were finding that so funny.

My current boss insists on pronouncing my name as Frasier. It irks me but I generally let it go but it really riles a former boss of mine who works with us. She is constantly correcting him.

Also name related, my work has our names set on our email to be Surname, First Name rather than First Name, Surname. The amount of times I’ve had “Hi <insert my surname>” on an email is unreal even though my surname is not a popular first name in this country.

[McD]

My first name is Iain. As mentioned earlier, it’s annoying when people don’t bother to read the email address or signature, and just type Ian. And what makes it worse is that some of the people Have known me for years! and you sometimes get the Eoin spelling fling out there now and again.


pronunciation can be an issue, especially abroad, that’s just a write off. But even here, it’s bad.

This really grips my **** too. I was at the Baltic last weekend and at the entrance to the campsite where I was staying there's a sign that clearly states that people should park their vehicles on the carpark opposite whilst checking in. However some dickheads either couldn't read or couldn't be bothered walking the extra 15m and as a consequence entering and exiting the campsite got blocked for 20 minutes at a time. Why the campsite don't police their own rules is another story.

When opening a box of paracetamol, ibuprofen, etc. it always seems to open at the end with the instructions folded over the pills, rather than the other end where you can just slide the pill packet out.

Haha this made me laugh. I get the rage at this as well. Without fail, you know it's the folded end!!

People who absolutely detest everything about 'young people'.

Woman I work with last week:

'Young people not wearing masks need to take a look at themselves, bloody disgrace.'

Same woman today:

'My niece and her friends paid £25 for a mask. £25! You see the young ones with their fancy masks, just wear plain ones like everyone else'.

As if young people trying to follow a trend or be fashionable is a new thing. If people have to wear a mask then some people are going to want it to look as good as possible.

I think I'll extend my peeve to people who have completely forgotten what it is to be young.

Don't know if this qualifies as a peeve but I hate sitting facing backwards on trains or buses. When there's only seats facing "the wrong way" left, I'd rather stand.

That's a problem many have and the main reason why we have forward facing seats in passenger aircraft.

This reminded me of a time I was sitting on a train waiting to leave Waverley going to Liverpool on a Friday night, a trip I had been doing every two weeks for months. A group of four got on and they had a table booked, as they sat down one of the women asked before she sat down which direction the train was going as she needed to sit facing the direction of travel. The guy with her assured her that she was facing forward and she asked him several times if he was sure to which he assured her she was. At that point I intervened and told the lady that the train was going towards Haymarket so she was sitting in the wrong seat to be facing forward. The guy then abruptly told her to stay were she was as he was right and I was wrong. I explained to him that unless they had moved Haymarket station which was the next stop the train would be heading West not East!
He was still adamant, until we started to move and she was facing backwards, to be fair he apologised for losing his bearings and we had a good laugh all the way to Wigan.

Some aircraft still have them, usually in business class.

Years ago I flew from Edinburgh to London facing backwards and it was very disconcerting.

It is funny because prior to lockdown, and for a good few years now, I took the train regularly because of work. Anything between two to four days a week, and usually two, but sometimes three different trains going one way, then the same coming back.

I never really thought about it but instinctively I always sat facing backwards. It didn’t feel conscious, I just did it.

Same abroad, on the train, tram or metro. I didn’t realise it until I replied to your post but I just naturally sit facing backwards!

My peeve is a particular type of cover version which has become prevalent, ie. take any song, play it on the piano at a quarter of it's original tempo and sing along with an excess of emotion - often out of context with the lyrics. Artistic as f***.

People who take a tiny irrelevant subjective negative and use it to torpedo whole concepts. I suggested to a group of friends that we take a boat trip through Berlin and explained to them that the centre of Berlin was built at a time where the many waterways running through the city were the main means of transport and Berlin was designed to be seen from the water and the architecture makes more sense when you view it from the water. You can spend a nice sunny day meandering through the city on a restaurant boat with either an electronic tour guide or a real one to explain the different sights and folklore whilst enjoying something to eat and a nice glass of wine in good company. One pleb tried to scupper the idea by answering "nah, I don't like wine".

My street has been a total nightmare for noise recently. First of all I have one of those Council basketball/football hybrids outside my bedroom window. No exaggeration when I say I get woken up regularly at 6am by some weirdo who thinks it’s acceptable to bounce a ball that sounds like it’s made of concrete outside peoples windows at that time of the morning. It also goes on all day, and in summer regularly goes on until midnight. Just a constant, doomf doomf doomf, made 100 times worse if you have misophonia.

Next we have Dawson the mad drunk, who passes by at least once, usually twice a day, shouting at the top of his voice. It usually takes him a 45 minutes a time to make it from the top of the street to the bottom. Double that if anyone talks to him.

Then there’s the couple over the road who always have their windows wide open who have unbelievably loud arguments several times a day, I’m working from home and have had to apologise to people I’m speaking to on the phone because they can hear them, that’s with my windows closed.

Last night someone was having a party opposite and some woman was sat at the window shrieking like a banshee for about 6 hours. She wasn’t arguing, just shouting at the top of her voice non stop. I was ready to go and knock her out.

That sounds horrendous! I had a couple of flats before were the person below thought it was acceptable to blast techno music (why is it always techno music!?) at any time night or day. Was absolutely brutal always on edge waiting for the next session. Hence why I am now living in a detached and would never go back to a flat ever!

We were in the same boat, we had months of noise above us when we were in a flat, parties almost every weekend, arguments, banging on our door, our son was born that year and I kid you not we got more peace and quiet from a baby, was finding drug paraphernalia in the stair, people pissing everywhere, complained to letting agency and they were useless,got to the stage where I was getting tooled up, luckily my wife calmed me down, no way would I ever move back to a flat, it is now night and day, last few years we have been in our house has been bliss.

I was the same. I am too quiet and not hard enough 😆 to go knocking on peoples doors to sort it out which is what should have been required. Anxiety was through the roof. Horrible feeling not wanting to go back to your house incase the next deck session/party had started.

That's the thing I'm not a confrontational person at all, I guess my limits were pushed that day, horrible feeling as you say, used to dread when I would see groups of people coming into stair, I should thank them really as if it wasn't for them we might have stayed.

[Scouse Hibee]

Had the same issues, had been there for twenty years, was a cracking block when we bought it and all were owner occupied. As people got older and their relatives inherited them we ended up with only four of us in a block of twelve that owned them. We had some good tenants in the block who treated it as their own, it was a well kept block inside and out with private gardens tended by a gardener. It didn’t take long for a few **** tenants to bring it down. Had plenty of words and police involved, solved a few issues myself with a threat of violence (not good I know) but in the end the missus was at her wits end so we sold up, best thing ever.

I had a nasty neighbour next door who tried to intimidate me by playing loud techno music. He had a window that opened into my garden, he opened it turned the music up then went out. The window had secondary double glazing and he had opened both top sashes. My garden needed watering, you can guess the rest. 😁

[heretoday]

Loud music is the worst kind of stress if you live in a tenement stair. The noise of a washing machine or vacuum is bearable because at least you know it's going to stop soon.

But music can last for hours, and the really annoying thing is that it's being done for their pleasure.

In my forty years experience of tenement life from Abbeyhill to Corstorphine, the only solution is to try and make friendly contact with the perps and eventually suggest that their music is too loud.

Before I met my wife, I bought a flat, in a block that some were owned and some still council. was told the usual 'neighbours are all lovely' chat, which was true for some of them, couple of nice ones.

Next door on one side was a couple where the wife was into drugs, and her brother would arrive at any time of the day, and stand outside and shout her name until she'd either answer or he'd finally give up because she was out. For some reason he'd never try to door buzzer/intercom. Whilst i never saw anything violent from him, he was a big bloke, and often used to tailgate people into the building (not me tbf), which would be intimidating for some of the single women he'd follow in the door.
Then there was the family above me, where the parents would disappear every weekend leaving 2 teenage kids, who would have a party from Friday night to Monday morning (my now wife ended up phoning to police at 4:30am on a Monday morning once).
And the jakey on the ground floor, and his mate, who used to sit drinking in the street, winding their dog up and let it run wild in the street, and ended up fighting another jakey with knives in the middle of the road.
Other people using our communal bins as an easy dump (especially the recycling one, so our bin would often not get emptied because someone had dumped their regular rubbish in it). You'd regularly see debt collectors trying to get in, and often accosting you at the door trying to find out if you were the person they were looking for, rubbish launched off of balconies, deliveries were always a pain because they couldn't get into the building, the communal areas used to be well kept by the council but that was severely cut back on, then trying to blame and charge owners for issues with drainage issues in the communal area.


I worked backshift at the time, and it got to the stage where I was telling my wife to not go out or take the dog out when she went home, and that I would do it when I got in as I genuinely feared for her safety.

500 Miles... Viagra over the counter edit featuring crap animation!

[CloudSquall]

I lived in the Netherlands for 5 years and had constant issues with neighbour noise.

First place was a ground floor flat with F all insulation between the ceiling and the flat above that was occupied by a family with 3 kids, 2nd place was surrounded by DIY Dans who were non stop drilling in the shared walls for 3 years.

As someone that always thinks about neighbours before making any sort of significant noise, sometimes it's not the noise itself that pisses me off, it's the "I'm doing whatever the F I want and F everyone else" mentality of some people that induces the rage.

Didn't realise the full affect it had on my mental health until I moved to a detached house and saw how much calmer and relaxed I was.

Arrived on the south shore of Loch Earn about 6.30 as I wanted to avoid the crowds later in the day. The place was like a bomb had hit it. People camping on the shore with disposable barbecues everywhere, techno music blaring, rubbish floating in the Loch, live trees hacked at for firewood and cars parked in passing places on the single track road. To top it all there was a guy absolutely off his face leaning against a Transit van pissing in the middle of the road. It wasn't as if the perpetrators were exclusively teenagers either. There were families and a group of guys who looked like they were at least in their 40s.

I went my walk and when I got back to the car the tents were gone but the rubbish remained. People really need to be taught the concept of 'leave no trace' and be punished if they don't adhere to it.

[lapsedhibee]

I'll eat it no problem. I'm not really that bothered by people butchering a piece of cheese, but I do like restoring order.


A lot of that butchering stems from government irresponsibility, allowing cheese to be sold by weight. If Trading Standards and that insisted it be sold by dimensions, W x H x D, like fridges, it would quickly eliminate sloppy dividing habits on foodstore shelves and eventually in the home too.

Fill a space only if nobody else is going there first. Walk in a straight bloody line!

Restaurants that fire out the food ridiculously quickly.

In a place in Windemere last night where they asked if we wanted a pre dinner drink whilst we decided what we wanted. Our gins came, we ordered the food and wine to have with the food and then the starters came out within 5 minutes. We were still on the gins so we drank them quickly to get onto the wine. Mains followed within 5 minutes of the starters being finished. The meal was over within 35 minutes. The place was quite nice as well.

The same thing happened to us recently in Edinburgh too.

Yep, when a couple of posters in particular are engaging in their form of "debate" on a thread then there's no point in trying really. Some folk are just so dogmatic (to put it very kindly).

I think part of the problem with something like coronavirus I think it's all so new and there is still very little consensus among scientists. There are various theories and hypothesis about how it will play out. An expert can be found to fit a hell of a lot of viewpoints. The same can be said of Brexit, the other hot topic of the day.
