Fraudsters, Covid seems to be a booming time for them, never had so many emails or calls, this morning "Amazon" called me to advise that my Prime subscription was expiring and to hit number 1 to speak to their retention team, I was bored and often like chatting to them and stringing them along, got through to a lovely Indian guy who knew my name but funnily enough hung up when I asked him if he thought I was stupid, ****ing chancers

I miss being in the house all day and having time to wind them up.

Cyclists. In particular the ****ing rude ones. Out with the dog yesterday on a walking and cycling friendly path. Every time a bike comes toward us I get the dog to come to the side and sit and wait until the bikes are past. The ones who don't even acknowledge the fact we have moved out of their way get right on my tits. A simple thanks is all itvtajes Same with the ones who come up behind and have no bell and don't shout a warning. My dog usually warns me someone is coming but on the odd occasion that we miss them you would think it was entirely our fault that they have to slow down or stop.

I think you can extend that to rude people full stop. I was also out for a walk at the weekend and I lost count of the amount of people out for a walk/cycle/run that neither shared the path or thanked you, when like yourself, you made an obvious move to give room to others.

Folk are just ignorant!

I only thank people if they've made a significant effort to make my way easier. So on a single-track path, a dog owner who steps off the track and on to a grass verge to allow me to proceed warrants grateful thanks. On a double-track path a dog owner who merely confines himself to occupying half the width of the shared path doesn't warrant profuse thanks because that's just the minimum he/she should be doing anyway on a two-way shared path. Pet peeve: users of shared paths who temporarily confine themselves to taking up less than the full width of the path and say "You're welcome" as you pass them.

TV series which advertise the fact that there will be another season before the current one has finished.

The tension and uncertainty just diminishes.

Killing Eve was a prime example.

The Loyds Bank advert.

Who would ever have thought that you could slow down a Carpenters song.

[Hiber-nation]

The EDF Energy ad. "Doing nothing is the something I do best". WTF???

And independence, in fact even linking them together as,if one faith wants it and the other doesn't.

Oh and 'people' seemingly doing it over a number of threads.

Those with faith want independence, those who don't, have little faith.😉

People who ask for red onion in Subway.
They dont offer any other onion so why not just ask for onion?

I just use whatever shampoo my girlfriend buys, but the stuff she buys the shampoo and conditioner both come in the same looking bottles, you cannae tell the difference unless you pick it up to read what it says on the front.

Why is it that 95% of the time I pick up the conditioner bottle when I'm trying to pick up the shampoo?

Try picking up the conditioner bottle instead & you'll pick up the shampoo. Problem solved.

People who (rightly) criticise westminster/boris/torys for something, but when the same happens with Nicola Sturgeon/SNP/ScotGov, they bend over backwards to not criticise and defend them.

I get partisanship, but it does none of us any good to not hold any politican/party/govt to the same standards, and makes people look foolish and less than principled because they don't hold them to the same standards.

People who pass on Mastermind. You know that passes are used as a tiebreaker to determine the winner so even if you don't know just give an answer, no matter how daft.

2 people scored 20 last night, one person lost because they had 2 passes and the other had none.

I’ve noticed that as well, just have a prepared answer if you don’t know.

That guy came from last place, and was pretty surprised that he'd won.


Given that Monday night is geek night, I get p'd off at folk on Only Connect and University Challenge who say "pass" Victoria and Jeremy should dock points for that....

Re University Challenge, the teams who have a lead, have got the starter right and then take as long as possible to delay answering the follow-up question in order to run down the clock. Half the time they know it and are just deliberately time-wasting.

It is the equivalent of taking the ball into the corner flag. Perfectly legal but it demoralises the spirit.

If im channel hopping and University Challenge or Only Connect is on then I have a rule with myself that I can't turn over until I get a question right, I've watched the whole show on numerous occasions

Only Connect is the hardest, I can give myself a headache watching that.

People who use "reply all" when it's not necessary.

People who copy in someone's supervisor / manager in an email with the sole goal of getting them in bother.


Women screaming "woooooooo" in any live recording on YouTube before the singer starts. No matter which song or performer, there is guaranteed to be a high pitched "woooooooo " intro.

The email CC is a particular peeve of mine, I have challenged several people on it in the past to ask why the hell they are doing it. I often reply to the same group asking the originator why they thought it was plausible to add in someone else who didn’t need to be involved in the conversation.

My own peeve folk who listen to an idea, often in an office environment then communicate it to try and pass off as their own.

The second part especially really gets on my nerves. It was a weekly occurance for me for a few years back.

I worked for a large Edinburgh based property management company and when I started back in 2016 I was told that certain property managers were essentially untouchable. Any mistake made was to be someone else's responsibility and they were not to be called out for it. Needless to say I am not working there anymore.

I agree about the CC part. That said, I've seen it used with people who are notorious non-replyers to make sure they respond

[EH6 Hibby]

The Bluetooth in cars people use to make calls, why is it always so loud? I’m working from home and someone is down the street making a call in their car, the customer I’m speaking to can hear them, that’s through double glazing windows that are all closed.

People on The Chase who ignore the obvious answer of the 3 and choose the stupidest one, or when they overthink the answer. Don't get me started when they pick the minus offer.
