In this particular case the ambulance had gone past and we were all moving back right when someone pops out from behind and overtakes us all.

Addicting threads that have 3752 posts in the third part alone.

Yes like they're an extension of the ambulance. I've seen people do that and thought oh must be a relative following the ambulance only for the car to then turn off in another direction.

It shouldn't as there's a significant difference between those terms. :/

It is a horribly euphemistic misnomer, especially when we associate words like bibliophile, audiophile, Francophile etc with nice things

True - a paedophile might not be an actual molester of children.

Though there is also necrophilia...

People who moan about being caught by speed cameras.

If you don't break any laws/regulations, the speed camera will be irrelevant to you, no matter how visible it is.

I see you've met my father in law then?

-Typing on a new or different keyboard from one that you're used to.

-People who complain to me at work about something completely out of my control and act like it's me personally that has offended them.

Yes, I get very annoyed with people who complain about speed cameras, warn me in case I don't know where they are and generally think it's OK to speed everywhere else.

There's a bunch of dodgy ones. I can only remember three:

- gerontophile (a person who's sexually attracted to elderly people)
- necrophile (a person who's sexually attracted to corpses)
- coprophile (a person who enjoys sexual games involving faeces)

I actually learnt all that from playing Scrabble.

Family weddings. Urgh, really don't want to go.
If I do go they (the couple and their family) won't bother to speak to me, my cousins never make the effort to even say'hi' at these occasions.
BUT if I don't attend I'm 100% sure that the family will bitch about me (to extended family - my grandad etc) and say I've ruined things for not being there on the day.

Also I had two really fun things planned this weekend and now I can't do either cus of this wedding.
Plus I can't stand weddings.
*insert incredibly grumpy face here

Slow walkers in town, I'm not on about people who cant do anything about it like elderly people or people on crutches etc but normal people, often schoolchildren who walk at an incredibly slow pace and normally in a line so its hard to walk past them. See also people who suddenly stop in the middle of the street.

Being involved in photo copying one has to be prepared to wait and endure people who take ages fiddling around in a series of plastic bags to eventually produce a page or letter that is then slowly and carefully inspected on each side before handing over for copying. They then pay by again fiddling around for ages in a tattered purse to eventually count out and also take the opportunity to rid themselves of their 1p coins. (Thankfully half-pence coins are no longer in circulation). All for the princely sum of 5p. Trivial, but so very annoying !

16-year-old. What else is new? He's stressed enough to wind his sister up whenever possible.

So they did nothing but fight all week. This morning? Five fights before 8AM. When it calms down, something else will set them off a few minutes later.

All that left me frazzled enough to think in a tiny voice: "I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised."

Yeah, I should have been sterilised. Easier than saying I loathe teenagers at the moment.

Indeed, and is it the first time they ever broke the speed limit? Unlikely.

I feel bad saying this as I'm a cyclist myself....but....

Being stuck behind the Lyrca'd arse of a bloke as he makes sure I drive at 19 mph on a winding B-road for about 22 miles.

I object to the a) unadvertised rolling traffic obstruction (i.e the road race. Go mountain biking instead, you don't breath in fumes and case a feckin drama on the roads I pay for).
b)The purple Lycra arse.

Arrrghhh! It's like every weekend at the moment. I go out looking for countryside...I get miles and mile of frustration and Lycra arse.

Thanks for listening.

'Loosing' still p***ing me off.

There should be a tax for everyone that spells losing with two 'o's - 50p every time.

Traffic lights that pedestrians can't see. It's not as simple as just waiting for a lack of traffic, as you could be on only your 2nd step into the road before a queue of cars zip around the corner towards you.

More bridges, that's what we need!

When you're being served in BK/ McDonalds/ KFC, and they take your order put drinks on your tray, then say 'will just be one minute for the rest of your order' then the next customer puts their handbag/ money/ wallet/ sweat hands on your tray, before the server then put your food directly where the other customer's sweaty/ dirty had just been. So annoying! GGrrrr

Is it a shotgun wedding?

Ditto people who whilst walking in a high-traffic pavement or path stops to take a call, tie shoelace, rummage in bag etc.

Also don't understand people who walk at a 'strolling pace' when they are obviously not a tourist and is actually going somewhere for their effort.

Shhhh, it'll be alright (in a few years). We've all been there. I do sympathise with you. Teenage years are hell.

The button on the shirt I was wearing at work that didn't want to stay done up. (Fortunately, it was over my midriff rather than over my breasts.)


Or having to explain to somebody borrowing your laptop that the Shift+2 button may say @, but actually produces ". (It's an American laptop, but set to the British layout.)

Flies.

There's one in my house and it's driving me loopy. I'm going to go all Walter white on it soon.
