Geezers 'Pet Hate' thread

Ebay buyers who, even though you have said cash on collection, agreed a collection date, time etc. Still pay you via paypal.

Just sold 36 records for 99p and then the buyer paypals me so I would only get 76p as a result.

I hate paypal.

 

1. People who pull off their drives and hit people on the paths.
2. People who blame you for their crap driving! ...... I was taking my ex and her parents into Milton Keynes one day, and whilst parking we came across two cars reversing from opposite parking spaces. I assumed that at least one of them would actually be looking behind, but no, and before we knew it they had missed each other as they turned, by about 1 inch! The woman driver noticed first and hit the horn, and drove past me shaking her head at him. 'HE' got out of his car and came over to me and said 'Thanks very much'. I was furious, and I said to him 'Don't you dare blame me for your crap driving!'. He said he had been looking to each side. I replied 'thats good, but you should look to the sides 'and' behind you. Its not my job, its yours!'.
He carried on ranting until I opened my car door, and he made a hasty retreat .
3. Eating Beef and Mustard crisps and then having a fox sit next to you on the bus
4. Shops that won't give you a discount on a big spend, despite asking them really nicely .

Edit: I didn't type moo poo !

 

Yes, the word I typed was crap

 

People who wait for other people to load their cars with shopping and kids before taking their parking space in the multi-storey, and cause a huge traffic jam behind them. Just go up a few more levels and there are plenty of spaces to be had normally.
If you can't handle the stairs, use the lift
It's not big, it's not clever, but it is.......inconsiderate!

 

Please sir can I have more.

 

Always wondered if there is a psychological meaning being this behavior. ---and that is people who stand in the middle somewhere, with both hands on their hips, elbows protruding outward on each side blocking the path of anyone that is trying to pass. I just find that so rude. and you have to say excuse me, when in reality, the path is a common path not belonging to them at all.

 

People, usually drivers of pointlessly large 4x4s, who straddle 2 parking spaces, often at a 45 degree angle, and often also too far in so that they're also encroaching on the parking spaces in front of them too, such that in all, they are using up to 4 parking spaces. Usually happens in smaller, more crowded car parks.

 

Someone I work with generally uses up 2 spaces with her 4x4 style car.

 

You've just reminded me of another one. Someone is on an escalator just a couple of steps ahead of you. They get to the top (or bottom), step off, then just stand there.

I've long since given up the fancy evasive manoeuvre. Now when that happens I just barge them outof the way.

 

I am at times with you Clueless1, just pushing past them and moving onward. Although yesterday, I did the noise like a car horn: Beep beep. and the person did move, and said sorry.

On the flip side, if its a little old person who looks like their hip will brake with the wind rushing by them, I am very careful, taking into consideration that maybe they are near sighted, or having a major senior moment.

 

speaking of body posturing, I have noticed, that with some men--when they speak with each other in a standing position, that they stand with legs apart , and arms folded in front. What is with that? not that I hate it, just find it interesting.

 

Could be something to do with being relaxed/airflow?

 

People who don't get my sense of humour .
@Sheal will like this one.

I went to Sainsbury earlier, where they have added a floor over the original car park for extra parking. There is a lift in the store which does ground floor to upper car park only.
When I got into the lift with my shopping, some other people got in too.
I said 'which floor?'.
Now normally at this point, I would get a blank speechless look, but she replied instantly with 'top please', and immediately started chatting with a member of her family.
Why do I bother
