Pet Peeves IV

When watching a Fringe street performer on the High Street with your granddaughter and an adult tourist pushes in and stands right in front of her, completely blocking her view.

When would that ever happen? THREE TIMES this morning 😡😡😡

Thread closed, we have found it. The most nonsensical and cringeworthy phrase ever to be uttered from the mouths of morons imo

I'm having a bit of a 'whoosh' with that bit, MWC. Help!

On the same note, seeing someone eating a pizza with a knife and fork is wrong.

My wife eats pizza from the middle out.

Disgusting.

Doesn't everyone do that?

You don't pick up a slice & eat the crust first?

[Gatecrasher]

I must be the devil for some people on this thread, I eat home cooked pizzas with a knife and fork from the crust in. If I get a take away pizza than I eat the crust first

I don't eat pizza from the inside out or the outside in. No knife and fork, just stuff the whole thing in my gob in a oner. Lovely.

Some people eat the crust first.

I like to eat the good bit first then dip my crusts; I don't think you'd be able to dip your crust at the beginning.

I eat pizza with a knife and fork, some decorum please.

Ryrie's having the temerity to charge £4.55 for a pint of Strongbow, eh no thanks, I'll head elsewhere. Unsurprisingly the place was empty.

Salad cream, I've yet to find any kind of eaterie that has it.
Love it with fish and chips.

Bluetooth headphones. For a while they’re great, but inevitably they will run out and need to be charged at a time when you want to listen to more music. For a few years now I’ve persisted with them, but finally I’ve gone back to the old style headphones. The only downside is that when I need a pish I have to pause the song.

Acronyms. Especially in job ad's. "must have FJGDR experience and GSH or TUYHG" (yes I was randomly hitting the keyboard, cos I'm sure they do too!!)

Try dealing with the military if you want an acronym minefield. (No pun intended).
Think Robin William's skit in Good Morning Vietnam.

Word censorship...you know what I mean? F*****G C**S

Every single one of you who read this said "****ing ****s" in your head. The Queen, The archbishop of Canterbury, Princess bloody whatshername all said "****ing ****s" in their heads, so why the stars?

Such a wonderful rant I am genuinely impressed with this level of peeve. Respect 😎

Surprised the admin pricks let you away with calling yourself Bang**** Hibby.

Probably already been covered, but WTF are folk carrying to pubs in rucksacks that they never did 20 years ago? Total pain in the arse and bad enough struggling to bar through a sea of bodies without pushing backpacks out your way.
In Dublin today and it is just as bad as Edinburgh for this millennial habit.

Presumably it's people after work. Those people now have laptops that they carry in rucksacks rather than previously desktop computers that stayed in the office.

This looks more like desk top computer than laptop to be fair.

Tourists....haven't a clue about queueing or manners. For all their faults Brits are "generally" more polite

Thank god the eternal verities are still alive somewhere at least. We're not the 51st State yet.

I carry my phone, book, water, newspaper, snack, magazine etc. Dunno how I managed with just pockets. Also carry a charger and occasionally my tablet. Also a shopping bag to save on plastic if I need groceries

I know it’s wrong of me but every time I see someone having a conversation on their phone (in a public place) without holding the phone to their ear.. I think “prick”

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

People that don't know how to conduct themselves in the quiet coach on trains, ignorant bassas!

Yes!

I don't get it at all. Put it on loud speaker and hold it up infront of their chin - as if the extra 10cm to their ear would be difficult.

People who don’t understand how insurance policies work and insist that they can contact your insurers directly to pay for damage in their property. Err no you claim off your own insurance and they put the claim in against our insurance to recover their costs.
