Cyclists on the canal towpath who don't ring on approach.
When you're out walking you have to keep checking behind.
Mind you, it's getting that way on the pavements too. Ridiculous.

The amount of anti English drivel I hear spouted in pubs when the World Cup is on. I completely accept we are the auld enemy and don't expect any support from a rival but the reasoning and pish that is spouted to justify it is tiresome and indeed in some cases just childish. Grown men grouping together like a playground posse what a bunch of sad bustrads.

The worst is the complaints about the commentators, as if we have completely impartial commentators when Scotland play.

Was driving out to Alloa through Oakley yesterday, and some guy had the Scottish flag flying in his back garden, along with the flags of the other teams in England's group.

I love a bit of banter about football but there's a line that some people seem oblivious to. My partner is English and I've heard some of the ***** aimed at her when football is involved, including sadly at a Hibs game. Inevitably it tends to be when drink is involved.

I think a lot of folk either don't realise or just don't car they are doing it.

Not all Hibbies are nice. Quite a lot are horrible. Like everywhere else!

See, I find that quite funny.

It's silly and it's light-hearted.

There is some genuinely vindictive stuff out there that has no place.

My biggest problem with the whole England Scotland thing is that we aren't good enough at taking what we dish out ourselves, and we can't understand how hypocritical 99% of the stuff we say is.

Not sure what relevance that has to my experience to be honest. Pretty sure there will be plenty of banter without any malice from your comrades in arms. I have been the only Englishman in plenty of similar work related positions it doesn't compare to what I described, the banter from work colleagues is great.

You'd like to think so. It was all banter providing there was no alcohol involved but the masks came off once the beer started flowing. My understanding of banter is that it goes back and forth, tit for tat. However that wasn't the experience I made amongst this particular Mackem regiment I was attached to. Can't remember the amount of times I had to physically defend myself after being assaulted for the heinous crime of being Scottish.

Of course that doesn't make your experience any better but if you'd believe some on here then you'd think that the Scots were the only aggressor.

That sounds pretty horrendous, I certainly wasn't suggesting that Scots are the only aggressors that can take this form particularly when alcohol and football is involved.

Your experience sounds far worse than anything I have ever experienced. Disgusting mob mentality from trained soldiers is deplorable.

I didn't think for a moment you were Scouse and I only added my experience for balance. My experience wasn't just a bigot thing, there was probably a cap badge element to it too. People can be right dicks when they're in a group and feel untouchable.

Companies who can't keep their promises. I ordered a caravan last summer and was promised I'd have it by May this year. It's been built and is sitting at the manufacturer waiting to be delivered to the dealer but they can't find any transport company to deliver it. I'm absolutely livid because the holiday has already been paid for. Ferry tickets for me and the vehicle and flights for the wife and kid. Not to mention the thousands I've spent on equipping the damn thing for the holiday. :grrr

Sorry to hear that mate - that's ridiculous. Simple Procedure court claim would be the next step if it were me I reckon - not sure if there's something similar in Germany?

Yeah, I agree; if I saw that I'd laugh and I'd imagine most England fans I know would find that quite funny too.

Re: the abuse stuff, there's obvious a line between abuse and banter which is usually self-policed within a mixed group. As has already been said though, what some people think they can get away with in mob mentality is, quite literally, criminal.

That will be my next course of action. First I'll give them the chance to lend me a replacement for the holiday.

A pet hate I wasn't fully aware of until recently. Packet of some foodstuff with a "tear here" instruction. Tear here you say? Right here? Seems simple enough, Ok I'll just start tearing here then and....aaawwwww heck.... Latest one is those multipacks of porridge, cos my boy likes them from breakfast. Try to separate 2 of them without tearing into a pack, go on I dare you!!

Similar to this; the wee folds on packets of bacon, ham etc that are supposed to open the whole packet when you pull it but in reality just take the full outside rim of the packaging off so you need to get wired in with a knife or scissors to actually open the packet.

Lying in bed about to fall asleep and the wife asks me where I am working in the morning . WTF?

She also does this with jobs that are needing done in the house.

Drifting off to sleep as she'll say "oh , bathroom cabinet door needs fixing "

Drives me Absolutley insane.

My Mrs does that as well, think it's a sign that I'm good company though because when she's sleeping I'll do anything I can to keep the place quiet so as not to wake her, so I can get some peace

I think there's a sensor somewhere that lets everyone in the house know when my arse has hit the sofa, because I can't go more than a couple of minutes without someone shouting for something.

The way they can ask "are you sleeping" just as you are about to be. I try to ignore it but it's usually followed by a wee nudge.

Or the cellophane tops of mini tomato or grapes containers that pull off leaving a jagged design still attached.

I dunno how else to describe it!
