Geezers 'Pet Hate' thread

We to own a van me duck and it does make us mad as well when we get stuck behind tractors, combine harvesters,horse boxes,ancient white vans etc.The cars behind us always think it us holding them all up until we turn off and then they see it was others in front.

If we are on roads where there are lay-bys we have been known to pull in to one if we think we are holding up the traffic so that they can get past

 

And when we do get past them, maybe we should slow down to 10mph

 

Moaning about the weather drives me mad, my fella does it all the time

Moans when the weather's bad, says it stopped him from doing outdoor jobs....

....then wouldn't you know it, when the weather's nice, he's invariably got work or plans to do indoor jobs....so he moans again!

Talk about you can't win

 

Sounds like he did!
He's perfected his strategy so he never has to do the outside jobs

 

Cyclists disobeying traffic laws.
One item left in a box just so that person doesn't have to deal with the rubbish.
People who don't recycle properly. In fact things that are not done properly altogether. Unneedingly noisy people.
The fact that unneedingly isn't even a work.
No matter how many times I tell outlook that I speak UK English, colour is spelt wrong.
Things that don't do what they are supposed to.
Mess
Smudge marks on window or mirror.

Not being able to open child proof caps on bottles/containers

 

and that silver foil on toothpaste , latest one was a can of teak oil less than half price in Asda I knew quickly why so cheap as in the end had to use a skrew driver to remove the green plastic cover that you can use as a pot to hold the liquid drove me crazy , or how about business cards the important info telephone email is in a tiny font ? why oh why do they do that .

I better stop now , or the people who visit the house across the road throw cigarette butts on to the road !!!! and think that's fine to do !!!

 

Some of those tops are terrible. It makes you wonder what goes on in the manufacturers heads. Surely they try these good ideas out???
What about tiny writing on food cartons. I had no chance of reading one label I was looking at. I had to ask a woman with glasses on, and she struggled too.
Only a 'little' (pardon the pun) thing, but there should be laws about print size.
Oh, and what about receiving applications for loans and insurance etc , that has been semi filled out with your details for you?
Something else to be shredded , rather than just go in the bin. (should be illegal).

 

Oh I SO agree with this one, it took me over an hour once to open a can of Jeyes fluid!!!

 

This does however provide some brown for the compost bin so maybe not completely wasted.

Mine was just distilled water for the iron!

 

How I hate people that do not use their indicators, U are waiting to get out of a turning then they just turn left , along with tail gaters don't they know its against the law?

 

I am sure they do know ! lol.
As for the indicator thing, I do agree, but my old Vectra had awful indicators. Not loud enough, and cancelled too easy. I wonder if they never indicate, or they have just messed up. I know I have, so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

Oh I just loved my daughters Vectra, but as you say indicators bit iffy. I have a new Ford Fiesta A Dagenam Dustbin my mother would turn in her grave...but its like driving a fun fair dodgem...£30 tax and a tank full goes for miles.

 

My new Astra auto drinks the petrol but major improvements over those dodgy Vec indicators thank god. My friend at work had one, and she hated the indicators too.
