Stupid little things that bug you

[East Level 2]

Yes when loading something in particular I’d say it passes as good reason so I wouldn’t execute in that instance.

I like that degree of compassion!! Would you also consider executing those who park in disabled bays and mum and brat bays without due cause?

Swimming at my local leisure centre (swim for fitness which means no kids)

You have 3 lanes….slow, medium & fast and have to swim anti-clockwise

I’m in medium and they are 2 w@nkers that are fast swimmers that instead of going in the fast lane, will go in the medium lane and swim up and down the middle which means you end up touching hands/arms every so often

Does my head in

I encounter the same issues. I'm too fast for the slow lane and too slow for the fast lane so always head for "medium".
I'm always faced with people with no spatial awareness, in that they are slow, but don't give way at the end of lengths for faster swimmers, or too fast for the lane and they go all "passive aggressive".
And I've had some interesting scenarios at the Aquatics Centre in Manchester where some of the Chinese students don't seem to understand the concept of clockwise and anti-clockwise.
My pet hate though is people using the pool to chat, whether it be those hogging the end of the lane to have inane conversations, or middle aged women swimming in parallel really slowly gibbering away and hogging the whole lane. Just go to a café or a pub if you want to chat about the price of fish!

Absolutely mate, especially disabled bays!!

There’s a town down the road where reverse parking is mandatory, sometimes good, sometimes bad

When you say 'down the road'......

200 miles ?



Just askin'

330 ml beer bottles, what's that about ?

Great invention. Saves offering guests anything bigger.

Oh god, there’s alway that pair that swim side by side chatting swimming slow that your stuck behind

You get a better view when emerging. However reversing in can lead to a ball ache if you're trying to put shopping in the boot.
Note: Yanks always used to drive in and reverse out due to the sheer length of their cars leading to lots of damage to car park walls if they reversed in. Reversing sensors should reduce that these days.

Sensors are useful when you have Bert and Ada, oblivious to all things around them, walk behind the back of your car when you are in the middle of carrying out a reversing manoeuvre. They can see what you're bloody doing!
Grinds my gears that.

 

[normskih]

This.

And I know it’s a cliche but it’s usually women.

Actually, I do tend to reverse in as I find it more difficult to drive into a parking space unless there’s a wide turning circle. I find it a pain in the neck though when the car in the space behind has parked within inches of my boot and I have to put my shopping on the back seat or move my car forward. I usually find that it’s a man who’s driven that car;)

Witnessed lots of this today during my swim. Thankfully they were in a different lane!

Cant you swim under them and show your arse.

Over two weeks ago me and another bloke pulled two people out of the harbour. The woman was easy to pull out but the bloke was hard, we couldn't lift him. Luckily another bloke came along and the 3 of us pulled him out.
At this time of year that's two life's saved. We organised the ambulance etc. Got blankets and carried out first aid

The thing that bugs me is that not one of them have said thanks. It might sound bad but if it was my life saved I would go out of my way to thank them.

Still I guess it takes all sorts, wouldn't stop me from doing it again, it was just luck that I heard a faint shout of help. I didn't save them to get a pat on the back but a thank you would have been nice

You should have thrown them back in!!!

When people don't agree with you and think it's "Exhausting" , it's so passive aggressive it's painful :)

I’ve rescued a couple of people over the years from canoe and kayak accidents, would have done the same for a cat or a dog, just something you do. Karma will thank you in the end

Many years ago I fished a dog out of the canal at Guide Bridge.
As soon as he got on the towpath he shook himself dry giving me an unexpected shower.
I nearly pushed hin back in.
Now there's gratitude for you!

 

[deegee33]

When you say 'down the road'......

200 miles ?



Just askin'

Idaho meant to say down TO the road. THAT is 200 miles.

I had to do that once and even worse because the water level was so low down from the towpath, I was lying on my belly to reach the mutt. I can confirm that canal water tastes very vinegary.
