The double standards of taxi drivers ;-).

I had occasion to stop in a taxi rank briefly last week as there was just nowhere else to stop to drop someone off with equipment. The excited cabbie that blew his horn constantly and then got out and came to my window to tell me off didn't like my response of "get a grip pal,you lot stop wherever you like to pick up or drop off, know you know how **** in annoying it is!

There are a lot of erse hole cabbies out there thats for sure.

Pubs that shut early despite advertising later opening times. For example myself and Mrs Crab were out for a few drinks earlier, Decided to nip up to Doctors pub as I checked the opening times online on my phone and it says it was open until 1am. We arrived bang on 10pm and doors were locked and the barman was inside behind the bar reading the paper, all the stools were up on the tables. Quite pissed off with that to be honest.

The stupid cow I'm watching on nightmare neighbours. Phoned the police because the neighbour starting drilling a screw into his wall...... Sh-t scared of her own shadow. Get a drip hen.

We used to have this problem at my work so we just put up opening time as 5pm-late with a disclaimer that the earliest we would close was 10pm

When you skin your knee, playing on a 3g pitch, and forget about it, then you're sat at work and realise your jeans are stuck to it, and you have to peel it off. Bloody sore.

Folk that use the term 'bang average'. What's that all about ?

Remember it well but on the old astro at Meadowbank. Sitting there in my work wearing light grey trousers (it was the 80s) with blood and pus seeping through the knee.

Ahh, the days of yesteryear....the reason I started to wear tubigrips round my knees when playing 5's, although many is the time I instinctively slid in and took the skin off the side of my calf

Better than that, standing at the rank, taxi pulls up, asks where we are going, then says, not going that way and drove off, only to stop 50 yards down the road to check with someone thumbing his taxi, sped off from them too. Either you are working or on your way home, not both.

Maybe on way to pick up a radio hire and hoping you were going that way or going to changing over.

Possibly. Was raging at the time though! 😂

Delivery vehicles that park in the air/water area when delivering food/snacks to petrol stations. You turn up for water or air only to find you can't get near it. Happens regularly at the Shell garage I often use.

[Pretty Boy]

Folk asking me for cash because they aren't going on the piss for a month.

I'm not a tight erse by any stretch. I'll happily donate money to charities and sponsor people for doing something that requires a bit effort but sorry not pouring bevvy down your throat for 30 days doesn't qualify.

This might be hard to explain but I have a new hate in life

When you are opening a new loaf of bread there is the sticky label round the top, well there is a new fad of sticking another sticky label on the end of that one the other way round to stop it coming undone, well it's almost impossible to remove

Reminds me of my wife's pet peeve - people (i.e me) who refuse to use scissors to open anything that's difficult to open with their bare hands

We agree on this. Anything that is just something I do anyway isn't hard.

I don't, or very very rarely drink. I don't drink tea or coffee and I most drink just water.

I'm a big supporter of the RNLI but last year they had an H2O challenge where they asked people to donate to people just drinking water for 10 days?

Wheres the challenge? Great cause, crap example of doing something to support it.

Charity fads is another one. I support charity and send money to three i chose specifically, by way of direct debit every month. Yet I get hounded by stupid fads like ice bucket challenge and other crap. No need.

Sauce bottles with old residue of sauce that hasn't been wiped from the top and has built into a sticky gooey substance.

Or when you buy a bottle of chippy brown sauce and same example as above, except it is a crusty residue and when opening, clearly see the crusty bits fall into the bottle.....I tried to send her out for more for doing it. nearly wore the sauce!

Tell me about it, Matty - I spend far more time correcting Auto-correct than I ever do correcting my own mistakes.
It's a real PITA. Right up there with my top peeves.

Wish Hibs would communicate better as to how many tickets are sold/left for big games so folk know if they've got a chance of getting one.
