i think the red mist would descend over me Scots Tesco Christmas shoppers furious after driver 'hogs four parking spaces'

They should do a story of all the people standing in the Trolley Enclosure stopping people actually getting trolleys out at the big Tesco in Leith

People seem to use the trolley enclosure like it's a bus,taxi pick up spot, standing right in front of the trolleys that 90% of the people going into the shop need to use, every time I go I have to say excuse me can you get out the way so I can get a trolley, it's one of my ultimate pet hates, people with no situational awareness or they just don't care

It is a peeve so you're on the right thread. Not quite on the same level as the ******** parker in the quoted post.

I'm on the Calais - Dover ferry and it's full of French school kids, they've blocked every single exit to the outside by sitting in the doorways. Apart from having to step over them to get out or in, it's causing gusts of wind throughout the whole ship. Why?

[Hibrandenburg]

Another ferry peeve, why the **** do people switch on their vehicle engines before the ferry has even docked and the doors are still closed?

That's not just ferries, it's everywhere. Get in your car, first thing to do switch the engine on, check your phone, phone some people back, put your seat belt on, etc etc etc., then three or four minutes later drive off. Particularly foul habit in ferries though.

Is it not a potentially dangerous habit?

Think it's also illegal (at least on the street, not sure about ferries) but people do it. ****ing nuts.

[Bridge hibs]

Dafties who still use their mobile phones when driving, twice this morning we were almost skelped by mindless ********s on their phones. Young lassie too busy staring at her phone drove straight out onto the roundabout along from Musselburgh rugby club, totally oblivious to my wife going round the ****ing thing, I gave the lassie verbals and she apologised by waving with the phone still glued to her hand !!

Further up the road we have turned right from Newcraighall to go onto bypass and another stupid Woman came off the give way road again oblivious to my Wife being on the road and she almost scudded us, phone glued to her ear !!

Selfish ***** like that are liable to kill someone, licence should be suspended for 3 years and they should me made to resit their test if caught 🤬

Were they farting in the doorways? 🤔

Could be, or maybe too much garlic for breakfast

Cultural vandalism that they are no longer available.

When I was a bairn if Hibs were away my dad took me to watch his football. After the game in the pub (Leslie's on Ratcliffe Terrace, one of the best) me and another couple of laddies got sat in the back room with cans of coke. Every other week about 6pm I'd get bribed with another can of coke and packet of Brannigans if I didn't tell my mum my dad had another pint and instead backed up the story that we were late home because the bus was early and we just missed it.

Along with Scampi Fries they were a crisp/snack just meant for the pub.

They were brilliant on a well buttered ham roll as well.

I so miss 'em.... sigh

This is going to make me sound either like a weirdo, very pretentious, or somehow a massive Tory but I found crisps when on a long weekend in Tunisia this summer that were raspberry and black pepper flavour. More out of novelty than anything but as it turned out, they were phenomenal.

Can’t get them anywhere at all, searched the web for them.

Brannigans crisps were stupendous as well though.

Seem to remember Tudor making some bizarre sweet flavours of crisps in the 70s, both chocolate and banana flavour spring to mind. ��

I like strawberries sliced with black pepper, so I think id like them. Add balsamic rocket and goat's cheese to the strawberries and you've got a deadly salad

Not crisp related, but my current pet peeve is Car Insurance renewals. Why do companies increase their second year premiums so much that you're forced to look elsewhere? I don't want to change insurer each year but I have to or face huge increases in premium. It's a real hassle every year, and it gets so I can no longer remember who I'm insured with.

Grrr that really pisses me off.

I did a price comparison before I called LV this year and they knocked a fair bit off, it still worked out cheaper than last year but it’s such a time waste.

Because it's a mandatory insurance, I think it should be regulated, with price caps in place and rules to stop exploitation of good customers. It's an absolute disgrace of an industry and I'm sure the rapid rise in uninsured drivers speaks volumes of how bad it is.

The post-Sunday trend of digging out every refereeing decision that can be found by Celtic/Rangers fans as absolute proof there's an anti-Rangers/anti-Celtic conspiracy. Zero self awareness that the rest of Scottish football looks on in awe as they fail to see how both being treated so favourably all the time has led to this entitlement of expecting to get every decision - it can't work that way when you play each other chaps.

Evri.

Get and email at 1000 - Your parcel is out for delivery, estimated time 1330 - 1430.

Get an email at 1500 - We've had to reshedule your delivery, estimated time 1630 - 1730.

Get an email at 1800 - Sorry we can't deliver your parcel today.

EVERY DAY THIS WEEK

The other day, I had Evri email me:

10am: Your parcel is out for delivery, estimated time 14:00 to 15:00
2.18pm: We're sorry, your parcel has been delayed. We're working to get it on its way on the next working day and we'll let you know once its out for delivery.

4 minutes later, the bell rings and it is the parcel that 4 minutes earlier was delayed and wouldn't be coming until the next day.

Opened it and it was smashed to pieces. Opened it on the bed, little shards of glass everywhere. Do they throw the parcels about?

[Pretty Boy]

People who seem oblivious as to what is going on around them.

I was waiting to go and see my bairns school Christmas show today. Queue stretched from the doors all the way round the corner and half way up the street. Some woman walks up, tries the door then looks around as if she is stunned there are other people there. Do you think we are all just standing out here in the cold for a laugh?

People who ask if I'm 1st taxi in the rank when there's 3 taxi's in front of me, do they know how queues work?

I'm sure all couriers suffer from rough handling of packages, but I've witnessed first hand the Evri/Hermes couriers that meet up in the Hermiston Gait B&Q car park on an evening and play some kinda tourettes pass the parcel between themselves. The way they throw them about, I'm surprised the majority of deliveries are not just expensive collections of fragments!

Managed to punch myself in the face two nights ago then got wiped out by an errant dog five minutes later.

Was playing tug of war with my dog. She let go suddenly and I smacked myself in the face, sending my glasses flying. Partner found it very funny.

Got grumpy and took the dog out for a pee before bedtime. Put her on the lead, and took her out the front where there’s a grass verge. A woman was stood on the pavement and my dog started doing some gentle grrrrs - she can be funny with unexpected people in the dark (never, ever more than a gentle grrrrr. She also doesn’t like people who have been drinking or oddly, men in hats).

Decided to head up the grass verge to head away from them (after apologising and explaining) only to be absolutely banjoed. Arse over tit. Turns out that the person was standing there as they’d let their jet black dog off the leash to find a place for a sneaky poo, and after completing the job ran back to its owner taking me out in the process.

My dog starts barking at all the commotion, my partner peeks through the curtains to see what’s happening, sees me on the ground and I head back home to find her borderline hyperventilating with laughter at my misfortune.


Just went straight to bed. Still grumpy about it.

[Bridge hibs]

The wind, I dont mind rain, sleet, snow or frost but this wind has just caused havoc, my ****ing hibs gnome is gnome more after being blown off my tool box in side garden, ****ing travesty as I bought Sir David Gray just after the scottish cup final 🤬

[Northernhibee]

Selfish *****.

On the way home from Cupar and a tree had clearly fallen, as there was a small queue of traffic either side of it - blocking both lanes. Everyone out of their cars to be able to shift it enough to open up even one lane - and before the tree is even back down on the ground two cars (a Mini and a BMW) go sailing past, nearly clipping us moving it.

My partner is now in A&E after something's gone in her shoulder and she can't move her arm. Imagine if everyone had been out helping, may have been different. Long night for us now and that's likely her out of her lifting competitions for a bit too.

****ing raging at how lazy some people can be. Person in the Mini at least had the decency to say "thanks guys", guy in the BMW looked like a right prick.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but the lead car on either side could have straddled the lane to protect the good Samaritans and prevented those selfish types battering on through.
Well done to all those community spirited types though, they all did the right thing for selfless reasons.
