Stupid little things that bug you

[Kinkladze 1]

When you stop to let someone through in your car and by way of saying thanks they flash their full beam at you and burn your retinas out. Thanks pal.

Christmas trees and Xmas decorations, what’s the point?

Bah, and, indeed, Humbug!

I live on a housing estate of approximately 400 houses and several of them have their Christmas lights up flashing away already

Elton John has a very simple and traditional Christmas decoration, a candle in the wind(ow)..

In some European countries, they keep their Christmas decorations up until 2nd February. We used to do the same in England n’all.

That’ll be Candlemas.

On Miseryside they celebrate all year round.

Clothes companies who do tracksuit bottoms (which I like to wear around the house) where the inside leg length is only 31” whether they’re S/M/L/XL/XXL.

If the waist measurement goes up with each size up, why doesn’t the leg length?

Because when someone eats too much and becomes rather more rotund, their legs tend to remain the same length.

Same annoying reason that waist sizes jump up in two inch increments.

This is really getting on my tits at the moment, especially when they're walking in the bike lanes during my commute. I've just bought a bigger bike bell this evening and was tempted to get a horn.

To be fair these so called pedestrian town center's have become anything but, in the good old bad old days you expected traffic to be there and coming from one direction but now it's like a game of asteroids.

This is a stretch of a wide pedestrian footpath with cycle/bike lanes that I travel along daily near the Trafford Centre and without doubt, every morning and evening phone zombies are walking in the cycle lanes, not watching where they're going. I got into an argument with someone a few weeks ago who claimed I should have been watching where I was cycling, while he was looking at his phone while walking towards me, in the cycle lane. Fuckin tool.

People with phones and drinking coffee at the same time get right on my tits mate :)

Haha, yep. It does feel like there's a generation or more of the type of person who doesn't think it's their responsibility or a shared responsibility to watch out for other people. "They'll move out of the way for me" attitude.

A shame that twat on your gif didn't knock himself out.

Not long ago in Town, I saw a lad nearly come off his bike because of some dope on her phone meandering into the cycle lane and he couldn’t swerve her in time. He just managed to stay on his feet but bashed his bollocks on the top bar, must have bloody hurt him.

The phone zombie moaned at the cyclist for it!

I thought that was a sensor that comes on so you can wash your bellend?

People who enter my garden for whatever reason, yet refuse to shut the fucking gate even though there’s a big fuck off ‘please shut the gate’ sign.

Yes I’m that old that I have such a sign, and that the gate being left open makes me angry.

To me this is a big problem. Pedestrians can’t always see where the lanes are and have never had training on “walking safe” as opposed to driving or cycling safely so sharing pavement space with bikes is a bad idea. We’re all comfortable with the idea of a road with pavements either side for vehicles and pedestrians to be neatly segregated, but putting a third option in there just doesn’t work. Cycle lanes are a often a complete waste of money. Pedestrians often approach one without seeing any signs telling them what it is and just naturally are wary of cars so look past anything not a car. Non-cyclists can’t judge the varying speeds a cycle could be approaching at. I’ve had plenty walk into my path in the past and they all expressed surprise I was even there at all.

All this forces serious cyclists back into the car lanes, where drivers hate them even more for not using the cycle lanes “that their taxes helped pay for”.
