I've never seen anyone doing that, what idiots

Passive aggressive middle aged men. Usually when they're with their mates who will mutter comments when they think you can't hear them, then look away like shy little kids when you call them out on what they said.

In my local town centre they built cobbled strips across some minor side roads that lots of people treat like zebra crossings too.

Part of the problem is they generally get placed in a manner that joins paths either side of the road and are raised to the same height as the kerb which gives them the appearance of being there for the pedestrian to cross as well as being a speed bump.

I agree. Also middle aged/old men who try and flirt with you on the bus in front of their mates. It's like grow up you're older than my dad for christs sake.

Women and girls (not sexist, I've never seen a bloke do it and I'd think him every bit as stupid if he did) who post those ridiculous Instagram pictures of themselves with rabbit nose and ears. They don't look cute. They look imbecilic.

When we were renting years back just before moving in here, the kitchen cabinet fell off the wall and narrowly missed the cat who was eating a bowl of food at the time.

The insistence of calling ex England cricketer Andrew Flintoff 'Freddie'

That gets my goat too.

Today I'm all wound up about certain footballers having their first name on the back of their shirt.
Great goal tonight against Malta , Dele Alli, but it doesn't make you so special that you can have 'Dele' on the back of your shirt instead of Alli while the rest of the team have their surname. What is that all about?

He's probably that much of a thick stereotype footballer that he doesn't know himself by any other name.

Christenings for people who aren't religious and haven't gone to church since they got married 5/6 years ago. Seems pointless.

For some reason this does bug me more than it probably should.

Especially those over 21 (30's really!) Who look complete morons with their rabbit faces or dog tongues hanging out... It really goes well with the grey hair and eye bags

On the bus the other some chav knob sprawled all over my seat next to me and bragged to some girl he knew (who was not interested) about his knuckle dusters, the gang fights, the women he had *****d and the people he had put in hospital.

The way my neighbour calls his cat in for food every other hour from 6am until 1am. Not only am I baffled by the fact that he needs to ensure his cat eats like clockwork but in the loudest, most monotone voice he will say:

"Psst, psst, psst cat. Come on cat. Food. Psst psst psst. Come eat your food cat."

He won't change it up, he won't experiment with different tones or words and each call lasts a good ten to fifteen minutes of the same phrase being repeated non-stop from his garden. It's come to the point where I dread hearing it and will shut my windows in a desperate bid to escape the drone.

The compensation culture. I'm having a bit of a problem atm and wanted some advice. I'm aware of my rights. (um, I'm not just saying, I do actually know what they are) Posted something on Facebook because I wanted some advice. Someone then suggests I get a free half hour with a solicitor and get some compensation.

Not interested in compensation. Just want the issue sorted.

This happens to me all the time too, my latest trick is to open one end and then try to pour them into the bowl but even then you can bet a few little strands will go stray!

Similarly, drivers who think "keep clear" painted on the road entitles them to pull out in front of you without looking.

Drivers in the New Malden area in Surrey....surely the most aggressive and impatient in the entire country.”

Sites such as this can be quite confusing.

There is a sign warning of old people (although, oddly, not if you're driving in the opposite direction), the road narrows, there is a drop kerb as well as the ramp, and it's painted a different colour to the rest of the road.

It would not be a great surprise if some of the local old people, who may not have driven for years, if at all, think it is a crossing.

Yes yes yes!
I'm on a forum for people whose pets have certain medical conditions. You respond to a query with lots of carefully considered advice then someone says exactly the same thing several posts down and the original poster falls over themselves in gratitude.
You really want to say 'Scuse me but I said it first' . But that would be petty.

Some say Gods never been more relevant. I honestly don't know the truth but im not narrow minded enough to dismiss other people's beliefs.
