Pet Peeves IV

[Pretty Boy]

Men who take up one and a half spaces at a urinal. ER is a nightmare for guys doing this.

If you just budged up a step you could get another person in. No one is eyeing you up😅

Thinking you have hit the right quiet time to use the toilet outside the Secretaries office to give birth to a humongous poop which wont flush even at the 5th attempt, then to give up and walk out to 3 or 4 desperate Women standing cross legged waiting patiently to enter hell 😖

Pavements made of inappropriate material. Walking along Princes Street towards Shandwick Place on a wettish day, there was a stretch of pavement which was like an ice rink. I know I’m a bit long in the tooth, but even younger folk were having to take extra care walking over the black, shiny slabbed surface.

All Edinburgh pavement slabs seem to be like that, it's like they don't test them before they buy and lay them, Leith Walk can be mental when it's wet

Apologies for stating the obvious, but in Tesco, two months ago, a pack of two venison grillsteaks cost £2.90. Two weeks ago they were £3. Last Wednesday they were £3.50.

Expect them to be on Clubcard prices soon - at £2.90 or £3.00 so it looks like you’re making a 50-60p saving. This is an old trick where a store can say something is discounted if it’s been on sale at a higher price - even if it’s at another store - for a certain period of time.

DFS are brutal for this with their sofas, they’ll have one stuck in a corner in a store in the back of beyond marked up at twice its retail price. As soon as it’s been on sale long enough, they stick the 50% off stickers on the same sofa in all their stores, the price is still the retail price but they can present it as a half price sale and unwitting punters think they’re getting a bargain.

Back corridor in the house has a 10ft coatrack but I'm the only one capable of using the wee loop on jackets to hang them up. Wife/kids use the hoods and they just keep falling off as there's too many on a hook.

Drives me crazy!!

Being the unlucky ******* that’s bought a large packet of Thai sweet chilli sensations with nae *******ing seasoning on them. I am absolutely distraught.

Definitely not the real McCoy.

People who don’t apply rules consistently or to themselves. Either call out everyone doing something outside the rules, or no one at all

[The Modfather]

Posters who revel in the high school drama of messageboatds. Any use, in any context, of “here come the usual suspects”, particular when that’s all there post says, should be made to put those “suspects” on ignore or an automatic weeks ban.

[Bridge hibs]

Folk who moan about “the usual suspects”

Its usually the usual suspects 😆

[He's here!]

Bags of often useless, damaged or dirty 'donations' being chucked in a pile outside charity shops when they're closed, despite the sign in the window politely asking for bags not to be left outside.

I sometimes feel the forum operates in a weird parallel universe where time has stood still for 20 years.

I see posts about the site being 'riddled with' or 'reeking of' Hearts fans. 20 odd years ago it definitely went on. I was on the Kickback private board at one point because I'd built up so many posts on there and was a 'proper Hearts man'. Forums were new(ish) and exciting then and for the most part busier than they are now in terms of numbers, if not posts, and it presented scope to be a bit disruptive or make a bit of mischief. It was quite coordinated at one point and often very funny (the kazoo incident springs to mind). No one bothers with that now; I haven't been near Kickback in years beyond the odd glance for a laugh and the same will be true the other way.

I also read posts talking about 'well seeing the school holidays have started'. Aye because trolling hibs.net is what all the cool kids are doing. There is barely a poster under 35 on here and the vast majority will be 50+. Kids now are annoying grumpy old men (self included btw) by making TikToks of themselves being ultras rather than by posting nonsense on their online safe haven.

You make it sound like I’m almost a youngster, cheers PB

The Kazoo incident is Bollahs greatest achievement in life and will never be beaten, there were a few similar ones we did over the years but they never hit the heights of the Kazoo, we had built up so many posts over there over the years they just outright believed anything we said

I actually miss my trolling days to a certain degree, I got banned on so many BBC message boards like the Cycling Forum, The Snooker one and best of all Poetry Corner as they didn't like my poems

Kazoogate. That made me happy.

That cycling board one had me in stitches, if I remember right you were debating with a proper track cyclist about putting playing cards in your spokes because it made a nice noise

Actually, i’ll add ‘auld guys having nostalgia circle jerks about messageboard historical windups’ into my pet peeves

Is there a thread on the board somewhere with some detail?

I managed to persuade a fair few of them that i had acquired 10,000 kazoos through a joke shop company liquidation, and that it would be a great idea to hand them out at the upcoming Aberdeen game and do well known hearts songs in kazoo like a mass kazoo band or something. A few of them had me pegged as a jealous hobo but i had been undercover for awhile and had some trust, and in a way its such a stupid pointless unlikely lie it sort of had a ring of truth to it So a fair few of them liked the idea, pms were exchanged and a number of them arranged to meet pre-match at Diggers to hand out the kazoos. There were enough jambos seemingly keen on the idea that i actually thought i might have to buy the kazoos myself to kerep the windup alive! At the last moment Cambuslang Jambo (booo) outed me and i was banned shortly afterwards.

One of the doubters thought that although i was probably a jealous hobo, it was a grand groundbreaking idea anyway and they should acquire the idea off me and all start playing kazoos at the game. Which would have been absolutely wild
