Yes....I'm talking about the acronym though. Why not BOAT - best of all time? It's all totally daft to me but there you go.

If someone being called the GOAT annoys you I think it’s safe to say it would also annoy you if folk were calling them the BOAT

The acronym GOAT really gets on my nerves for some strange reason. Only ever read it on Hibs.net.

Never liked it as I automatically think of them acting the goat.

Exactly...it's all just daft!

That could well be the reason, doesn't really go well with someone being the greatest ever at something.

Surely they ring their bells to warn people?

Yes but in my experience they dont alter speed to deal with crowds. Just fly past you. Im pretty sure a dog that was on a lead had to be euthenised a few months back having been hit by a speeding cyclist. A lot of moaners live in Porty now but I'd back them over bikes on the prom.

I subscribe to a few different channels on youtube and get notifications when new content is posted. Without fail there will already be utter a55holes typing the word "first" or "1st" in the comments. Pretty much 100% of the time they have nothing else to say. How sad that there are people waiting, poised, ready to leap into action just to be first to post a non comment on a new video.
I have many peeves as this thread will show but this is my current number 1.

People who leave glasses lens down. I’ve got a pair of mirrored sunglasses and my mrs buys cheap ones she doesn’t give a flying **** about whereas I like ray bans but she constantly leaves them lens down whenever she moves them.

Daughter does exactly the same, I keep mine sequestered in the car glove box (that's a description from a different era!) ... she's asked about 4 times in the past week or so for a loan and it's a flat out NO! From me... I'm even getting the 'look' from the boss but even she won't make me budge on this one!

It’s so ****ing needless as well! If they sit where the arms and frame down on a surface they’re more stable and don’t get scratched!

Btw my cars got a glove box, where else would one keep ones string back tan leather driving gloves?

It also has a special glasses pop down storage slot in the roof.

I bought a pair of Ray Bans a few years back and took them on a stag weekend. On the Sunday I left them in a pub whilst hungover. Went back and asked if anyone had handed them in. Barman said no, I knew he was lying. I asked again, he said no, I was sure he was lying. A few days later I saw the same barman in the same pub wearing my sunglasses. He was definitely lying.

There's no real peeve from me. It's just explanation as to why I wear ***** sunglasses now.

As ZZ Top have always advised, best to wear cheap sunglasses. You are guaranteed to get pissed and either leave them somewhere or sit on them. I did it with a pair of Oakleys once. Very annoying. My eyesight is crap now so it's prescription sunglasses now for me but even they come with a number of pitfalls. If you are wearing them and go into a bar/restaurant/shop etc it then is difficult to see and then you take them off and you still can't see! So a pet peeve would appear to be sunglasses

That’s *****housery, at least you can be safe in the knowledge someone else broke them for you 😆 I’ve had similar, I left a pair on a cafe table in Durham, phoned the place up and asked if they had them and it was a firm no, but there’s a picture of me and my better half with the glasses on the table.

Don’t get me wrong, this is my third pair in about 8 years and I’ve had to salvage screws from an old pair because I sat on them after refuelling the car. But these have survived a lot and they stay in the car for the most part.

I do have a couple of cheap pairs for days/nights out.

A word that annoys me but shouldn't is "thread" when used for a list of tweets. I use it myself but for some reason it just bugs me.


I'm pretty sure it's because of self-important knobs on Twitter that have to write things like "Vaccines - A THREAD" before writing their views as if they are about to rattle out Nobel Prize winning contributions to society when in reality it's just total bollocks.

When you need to tell your partner the reservation is at 6pm in order to have any chance of making the actual reservation time of 9pm due to how long it takes them to get ready.

My ex wife was exactly like this. The worst bit was when she would ask me to call a taxi as she would be ready in 5 minutes. Taxi would arrive 15 mins later, I’d go out to it and then another 5 minutes after that, she’d walk out.

Thankfully my current partner isn’t like that at all. If anything I’m the one that takes longer to get ready (and I don’t take long)

People that take social distancing to the extreme. I was in Aldi tonight and the queues were massive. Gets to the stage where the woman in front of me got the checkout belt. The guy in front of her was the full distance of the belt away. She wouldn’t start putting her stuff on the belt until his stuff started to go through even though there was a massive gap on the belt. She then wouldn’t move forward even though there was more than 2m distance between her and the guy in front meaning I couldn’t put anything on the belt.

Then after all that, exasperating the issues with the already long queues. She proceeds to chat to the checkout operator rather than bag her stuff and keeps the chat going for a good minute after paying. She didn’t seem to care about social distancing then!

Funnily enough, I experienced that in Aldi too, but no other supermarkets.

Anybody over 12, especially male, using "lol" at the end of a sentence or paragraph. More so when said sentence or paragraph isn't funny!

The irresponsible attitude of parcel delivery drivers who think it is acceptable to leave parcels unattended on your door step in full view of everyone. Leaving in a designated agreed safe place is fair enough but so many of them are now just dumping on the doorstep.

I had a job recently that saw me visiting houses all day and I couldn’t believe how common this was. Parcels left outside people’s doors in flats, anyone could’ve helped themselves to them.

What is in the pie pack is a recent example.

If we’re talking Hibs.net peeves. The use of “this place is mental”, generally used when someone has a different opinion.
