When they get dirty you can hardly see them. Hit one on my bike and had 3 seconds flight time before peeling my skin off on the tarmac and injuring my collarbone. Bloody lethal for cyclists.Quote:

The new street lighting in certain parts of Edinburgh.
LED lighting that reaches about a foot below the light source and makes no actual difference to visibility at ground level.
This. :agree:Quote:

Folk that don't clean up after their dogs. Was taking the wee one up to Rainbows yesterday evening, and there's a family that just opened their door to let their dog out (a German Shepherd), nobody watching it or walking it or that, it ran over the road, crapped in the grassy area that kids play in, had a wander about the street for a bit, then headed back home. If you've not got time to look after your dog, don't get a dog. Clarty *******s.
People stopping you on the street with a bull****** story about losing bus,train fare blah blah blah.
Let's face it. The whole lot of them should be rounded up and shot.
Beggars on the streets of Edinburgh.
On my way to and from work, I see tens and tens of them. Vast majority (if not all) are junkies or foreigners.
Mums on the "school run" blocking streets and access areas with their great big 4x4s all because little Timmy or Alice are too wrapped up in cotton wool to walk home. There should be a no parking zone within a half mile radius of schools between 8am and 9am and between 3pm and 4pm. All offending drivers should have their cars towed. Selfish gits!
People who say "hash tag ....." They can #**** off
:agree: Also known as 'speed cushions'.Quote:

Shop assistants who forget to remove or deactivate electronic security tags, although I tend to just carry on walking when the alarm sounds and wait to see if I am pursued if it's a tag that just needed deactivating.
Softer than my heid but I'll admit there wasn't much in it.Quote:

I do this, I would rather use the proper side. I'd prefer not to have that rubber oil and dirt covered tube touching my paintwork.Quote:

Neither want to be seen to be pushing in. It's not of course and it causes delays that are completely unnecessary. Trying to enter the city bypass from a standstill is difficult and dangerous but some people know better than to 'push in'.
Foreign or not the vast majority of them who hang about certain areas are part of loosely organised gangs. They make a lot of money, especially the ones at the tron cash machines who get the drunk student sympathy all the time.Quote:

I overheard the one that's always at the tron ask a cash machine user for spare change and do you know what the reply was to being told that he only had notes? If you give me a tenner I will give you eight pound. No word of a lie.
Many of them dropped off in the morning and picked up at night by organised gangs who shipped them in from abroad.Quote:

Folk that say (or use) 'bae'.
At festivals or live music events. Steroid junkies that get absolutely out their brains and start jumping about like they're the only person on the planet. Continuously banging in to you. Not sure if it's intentional or if they're just too wasted but either way they should be shot.
what does it mean?Quote:

Hate that people still go for "cheeky drinks" with their "girlies".
The word "banter" is now finished as a normal person's word - dinnae like the folk that have caused this.
"I'm not gonna lie".
"Selfies" and "Selfie sticks"
Today's music industry.
I think it's your other half, but I'm not 100% certain on that.Quote:
