My new peeve......Christmas 'must have toys'....unfortunately my son is christmas aware and now wants a bloody hatchimal!! they are like gold dust and I am now a crazy manic refreshing every page all day. He might need to learn a very valuable lesson about dissapointed come christmas day!
Traffic outside of rush hour. Especially when there's no apparent need for it. Totally get it that when everyone is going to work, or getting home from work, that it's going to be busy. Pain in the backside but no real complaints there.
Toy manufactures who create the crazy manic rush for toys by deliberately keeping the market short of toys for a period before flooding it so they are all snapped up.Quote:

'I'll have one of them'
'Who else?'
'G&T for me'
'Stella ha ha ha. Had 3 pints of that early in the year, what a bloody state'
'What are you like Gav?'
'Sorry barman are you getting all this? The boozers are out tonight haw haw haw'
'Make mine a half'
'Half? You're out with the big boys tonight!'
'Oooh go on then a pint'
'Right sorted, oh and a Guinness for myself'
You can usually guarantee one of that group will be spotted with vomit stains somewhere on their person about 2 hours later after having 3 pints then lecherously joining the 20 something girls, who have no ****ing idea why they are there, for 'a shot' at the bar. Another will likely take offence if a regular gets looked after and another will inevitably try to chat up a barmaid wo was out of his league even 20 years ago.
Roll on January.
Boom. We agree again.Quote:

Came across one of these people at xmas last year, was the back of 6 in George Street, the pub was rammed and I wanted to get past this fat drunken mess of a guy, I was polite and said "can I squeeze past please?" Trying to be a smart arse in front of his pals he goes "I dunno, can you?" So I just said "aye if you breathe in first"Quote:

When someone says they will 'reach out' to you. Pretty common in America but I'm starting to see people over here use it as well.
I remember bumping into a drunk outside the Roxburgh Hotel and they were asking if I was going to some 80's disco place :na na:Quote:

People that don't take a drink or look you in the eye when they cheers/slanj you.
Drivers on phones, even when sitting in traffic, generally seems to be young women in their ****tttty fiat 500s or ford ka's financed up to the eyeballs sitting texting or taking a duck face selfie or checking Facebook. Its not ok even when stopped in traffic, it means you're not paying attention to whats going on around you!!
It's not the first time Ive leaned out the window to shout at them to get off their phone as the light has turned green and they've not moved!! Really does my head in!!
Anyone caught using their phone whilst in control of a motor vehicle should just be automatically banned for a year.

Probably mentioned elsewhere - people that don't think that the rules apply to them for some reason. Case in point - this morning, woman (gobby sort) has two dogs in the school playground, she's had to take them inside through a 'tunnel' past at least two 'no dogs' signs, and several dogs tied up outside to get them in. There's a one-way exit system as well for getting out the playground, guess who goes against the flow?
The school also created a drop-off point in the car park as it's too small to accomodate everyone parking, the idea being that folk can drop off then exit the car park, which would be fine if people didn't just park their cars in that area as well. WTF is wrong with these people?
The weather forecast. Full suns all morning according to BBC via the Met Office and I come home to find my washing soaking wet :grr:
Supermarkets who rearrange their stock every once in a while so you are forced to look at other products as you rummage for the item you always buy.
Also, there is a store nearby and I swear the manager must have had it in for me because no matter what I bought, it was discontinued the following week.
This is going on at our local Tesco due to the advent of Christmas. Instead of the usual shelves of toothpaste, shower gel etc we have a solid wall of Lindor chocolates.Quote:

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before but tailgaters have really been getting on my nerves recently. Yesterday, I was driving home from Newcastle via Galashiels on the A167. There was 2 cars ahead of me driving at a decent enough speed that I felt no need to overtake them, especially given that the A167 is a long and winding single track road. A driver then came out of nowhere and started tailgating me. I really can't get my head around why anyone would want to do this in such a situation. It was impossible for me to go any faster and the cars ahead were driving at a good speed for that road. Do they realise that it's 100% their fault if I have to slam in the brakes and they go into the back of me? Or do they somewhow think that would be my fault? I started signalling to her in my rear view mirrors to back off, which she did for about 10 minutes before starting again. She then overtook me at a really bad spot just before a bend which could've easily ended in tears. She then proceeded to tailgate the car in front of me, then the one in front of that. I really do wonder how these people got a license to drive. My brother was involved in an accident just last week when a tailgater went into the back of him as well.
This does my nut in too and happens often on stretches of the A702. Naughty I know but I often quickly flick my side lights on and off and watch in the mirror as they brake thinking in a split second I am braking.Quote:

Maybe this has been peeved about before (& if it was, it was probably me :wink:).
Store check-out personnel who carry on conversations with the pal they are serving, purposely slowing the whole operation down so they can continue their chat while there's a queue of folk waiting to be dealt with.
Once their friend finally leaves, they add insult to injury by saying (with a cheesy smile) "Sorry for the wait". :grr::brickwall
Happened to me AGAIN today in Morrisons at Gilmerton.

People who you have to chase for days to get an answer from.
I run a football team, every Monday I put a message in our whatsapp group advising of details of the game for the following week and ask everyone to let me know availability. You can guarantee the same 8 or 9 reply within an hour each week and then the rest of the week is spent chasing the other half who have read the message and obviously just can't be ersed replying.
Likewise at work. Chasing a supllier for a delivery date or similar. I'm a supplier as well so I'm quite generous with time but if I've not heard after 3 hours then I'm phoning back. You can always tell the people who have either done **** all about it or worse those who just aren't answering because it's bad news. Bad news will annoy me, bad news delivered 36 hours after you knew about it is far, far worse.
Often park like that deliberately to prevent erses damaging car doors.Quote:

That's actually an old theatre and musicians' expression, common in this country for decades. It derives from the notion that the "top" of the script or sheet music is where it starts.Quote:

No one shouts when doing it though?

You've got the parents that walk side by side whilst talking and won't go single file on the narrow path to allow others to pass.
You've got parents, like before, but walking with pushchairs, buggies, prams side by side and creating a blockade.
Then we have a phantom dog walker that's allowing their dog to foul the path near the school, with the busy paths it's nigh on impossible to spot the K9 laid land mines and the kids traipse through, or worse, fly through with their scooters leaving a skid mark the length of the street!
I've just spent the last 5 minutes howling with laughter at that and couldn't hold it together when i was reading it to Mrs Crab. Brilliant!!!! :not worth :top marks :applause: :LOL:Quote:

Mines is one that occurs this time of year and it's when people mostly on social media but sometimes in person say things like 'can't wait for 2016 to be over' and 'see what 2017 holds'. Every bloody year this happens and it's always the same culprits.

The only trouble with that plan is, if there is a passenger, they are the ones who are most likely not to give a monkey's about bashing someone else's car(s).

That way you are just as close as you would be had they parked properly and they can't really have any complaints as you have only done the same as them.
I only park in car parks that are never likely to be full and therefore I am not doing anyone out of a space😀Quote:
