Stupid little things that bug you

[bluemc]

Car mechanics , is there any other trade that mess you about and inconvenience you as much ?

Maybe it's my bad luck but every single time I need a plumber it's an absolute pain in the arse. Not responding, having to be chased up, not turning up on time or just not turning up at all. Any plumbing issue is a time consuming chore to resolve every time because of the people I encounter I'm the trade. Not to mention the usual "it'll cost £120 just for me to come and have a look" call out charge rip off. I'm sure there are some great plumbers out there, of course.

Never have much issue with mechanics, though. Have a local garage I used to work at as a teenager and still use them for the family cars, they're great and never let us down.

People on the main forum who describe everything they disagree with as a "fucking pisstake".
Can't they come up with their own phrases to describe their level of disgruntlement?
And yes, some of the things they are complaining about are for valid reasons. However, I do think a large part of society these days isn't happy unless they have something to complain about.

Is this the room for an argument....?

People that take the time to bag their dog’s poo, and then hang the bag on a tree branch. They are just weird. Is this some cult? Is it not easier to take the bag to the nearest dog poo bin?

IMHO the vast majority of 4x4 haters are generally in that camp - its pathetic to be honest - I had nearly 20 years running around in them as my daily drivers and saw/heard it ALL the time - and no I didn't need one for anytning specific, but during the time it suited me/family and I F*CKING wanted one and could afford it (4 actually)! My favourite gripe was "oh the A-pillar is soooo huge you're clearly can't see out of it properly and a danger to little johnny pedestrian jaywalking in the street and will MOW HIM DOWN MERCILESSLY!" followed closely by the "Think of the polar bears!" And yes I took them ALL off-road!

Round our way some strange folk even leave these bags underneath the dog poo bin. Bizarre

I know what you mean. It's like some people are unhappy about being alive, I really don't understand it.
If you're that pissed off at your lot in life, change it.

And be nice to people.

Smile!! You'll feel better.

My only philosophy in life is to treat people how I'd like to be treated myself.
Sometimes I like to be left alone and just collect my own thoughts, but even in this state I always acknowledge people and i'm polite. If I've got nothing positive to contribute, I just stay quiet!

This is what really pisses me off about speed cameras. If they really wanted to reduce accidents rather than simply collecting revenue, cameras would be on traffic light controlled junctions.

Many junctions do have cameras activated if you jump a red light

Not around Manchester, oh I accept there are a 2 but the majority are speed cameras. They make more money.

Misty copped a speeding fine?

No but a cousin was nearly wiped out when someone ignored a red-light, her car was written off and she suffered broken bones.
Plus a nearby junction onto a main road is a nightmare as cars on the main regularly go through as we are setting off on green.
The simple fact is speed camera generate more money.

Don't you have red light cameras in the UK?

On holiday in Majorca. Every fucker here is bright red with sunburn. Is it really that much of a bind to put some cream on?
