Pet Peeves IV

[Scouse Hibee]

People who when driving have no awareness of what's going on around them. They can't see past what is happening beyond the car in front of them and then make a list minute movement to something you anticipated at least 20 seconds earlier.

There is a guy on my bus really annoying me, he is wearing two types of camouflage, his troosers are desert and the coat is jungle, feel I should warn him that an eclectic approach to concealment will end up with him being discovered

Or the ones who take the same route every day at the same time and are suddenly shocked at the appearance of roadworks or temporary traffic lights which have been there for a fortnight.

That reminds me of an old joke.

Sergeant 'I didn't see you at camouflage trainer this morning corporal'
Corporal 'thank you sir'

In Arctic Norway we used to use normal camouflage jackets and poly white trousers when training in forests. Maybe your guy is planning a scrap in an oasis?

Folk who get upset with a bit of football banter. Particularly when the person giving it out is more than happy to take any that comes his way.

Even an old fuddy duddy like me knows that trousers at half mast are de rigeur at the moment. They beat Scouser pink trackie bottoms any day.

Roasting hot Greggs steak bakes. Buy one at lunch time and they are to bloody hot to eat. By the time it takes to cool down, you've got to go back to work.

Indeed.

Eating a Greggs steak bake is a bit like climbing Everest, there's a very narrow window when conditions are just right, miss it and you are looking at disaster.

No I don't want a packet of crisps with my meal deal. If I wanted them i would have picked them up. I don't care if it works out cheaper , I do not want them.

Piping hot one devoured half an hour ago.

I still have a tingling tongue.

I wouldn't imagine anyone really worries about what other people wear, I certainly don't. Thought this was a pet peeves thread.

Whats the law that stops them keeping their food hot again?

I have been in a few bakers recently and they had hot food on a hot light and it was delish (Canny mind the name but the butcher at the end of craigentinny road next to the RBS and R.S McColls) ......if they can keep warm why cant gregs? Its a shame really as I think greggs have actually upped their game in the last few years, just a shame when you want a hot snack and they tell you theres none warm

Greggs probably can't keep the volume they have hot to 63 degrees as they would need to have very large hot holding displays. Pies and sausage rolls etc are exempt from hot holding regulations as long as they are completed encased in pastry so they don't need to bother especially with the volume they turn over and are all sold on the day.

Frasers. They have such a fine selection of pies and pasties.

But greggs used to keep them on hot lights on the display did they not? up unitl about 5 year ago I never used to remember having issues with them being cold. They were maybe not hot, but were at least warm where as now whenever I go they are stone cold

People calling Inverness Caledonian Thistle "Inverness Caley" or "Caley".

ICT are an amalgamation of two teams: Inverness Thistle and Inverness Caledonian.

Calling the present mob "Caley" is wrong as it's a different team, it's disrespectful to the Thistle element and it does my bloody box in.

Imagine we joined up with Hearts to form Heart of Hibernian and everyone just referred to them as Hearts.

Tbh if the last part happened what people called the team would be the least of my worries!
