    I always make a point of choosing a seat next to the most belligerent looking ****er with a bag next to them on a bus, tram or train. The palpable hostility from them afterwards is one for the little things that give you pleasure thread.

    Especially the folk that put the bag on the inside seat and sit on the outside seat.

    That could be the first entry on the pet like thread, I enjoy a move your bag request even if there are a few empty seats. 😀

    When Netflix (etc) don't make it clear from the start that a TV show was subsequently cancelled early. 3 seasons of "Colony" later and I'm having to Google why the ending was so crap - apparently cancelled back in 2018 before they could make season 4. :angry:

    Yep and if you try to pass them, they always seem to veer diagonally in the direction you are trying to pass them so you get cut off

    Not long finished a book set around the demolition of a fertiliser plant in Leith called Phosphate Rock, which did this a few times. 🙄
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Adults who are a bit too into Halloween.

    I've got a friend who has spent weeks preparing a costume and she has spent literally hundreds of pounds putting it together. She's 33 FFS. She looked utterly ridiculous into the bargain.

    I let the bairns get dressed up and will buy a pumpkin or whatever but the obsession some adults have with Halloween has always baffled me. Fancy dress in general just confuses me, it's like fun for people with no sense of humour.

    I ****ing hate fancy dress. Absolutely detest it.

    Halloween in general is so wasteful. All the **** that gets bought to make costumes that will never see the light of day again. The pumpkins that get left to rot on doorsteps. The sheer costs around pumpkins themselves at these pumpkin picking events is absolutely scandalous. I went to one up the Clyde valley last week and it was literally boxes of pumpkins left on some mown grass, for which they charge £8 for a large one. I’ve got friends that run a pumpkin patch at St Abbas. They grow them all from scratch, they charge reasonable prices for them and they have a pumpkin cannon. It’s so much better but so many places now just see pumpkins as a license to print money.

    Halloween for me typifies throwaway culture.

    The only good thing about pumpkins is that most shops also get in ones you can actually eat to sit alongside the big flavourless ones for carving. They tend to be in the actual fruit & veg sections rather than big bins by the door.

    I stocked up on a load over the last couple of weeks and my freezer is now packed with curried pumpkin soup.

    I had guisers at my door last week, not dressed up but carrying a large plastic bucket like the ones you buy at B&Q, two polite wee laddies. I asked them if they wanted a calendar, why they asked. Because your a bit bloody early I said.

    One of them then piped up, do you have any money, no I said, he then asks, do you have any sweets then ? ****ing no chance from this miserable ******* 🤣

    Jeezo just had 6 or 7 of the wee runts push over the doorway into the house whilst their parents watch. Absolutely trying to scoop everything out of the bowl from all angles

    Houses here compete with each other, one house has had the Halloween decorations up since the 1st of October. Huge big spiders web down the front of the house. Its embarrassing. Keeping up with the Joneses

    Some in our estate have had decorations up for weeks - all totally OTT for Halloween. No doubt they'll have the Christmas decorations up after bonfire night.

    Passed a garden this morning, childs swing, police tape round it with what looks like a body hanging from the swing with a rope around its neck, a bit extreme but knowing the area the body could be real 🤣

    I didn’t want to start a new thread on this and I wasn’t sure where to put it so in to Pet Peeves it goes:

    Hotel prices.

    I have the big 30 coming up and would like to go away just me and the wife. We used to go to the Dalmahoy to celebrate our anniversary pre-kids and Covid. We were often able to get good deals, bed and breakfast for £300 for two nights in a suite, that sort of thing.

    For the same now it’s nearly double. Now I know cost of living has affected a lot of things but it genuinely feels like price gouging now, particularly when compared to pre pandemic.

    Try myhotelbreaks.com. Not always up to Dalmahoy standards but we have had some pretty good deals out of this over the years.

    Lots of blood and crime scene tapes round our way. Who thinks that's OK for 3-6 year olds guising? Fine for the teenage muggers on the hunt for sweeties.
