Although it's Friday I have to work tomorrow when I'd much rather be playing rugby. Also, I woke up on the wrong side of bed today and can't seem to get out of this mood.

So I thought I'd share with you lucky people some very petty things that make me want to commit murder.

LOL - just f**k off. You're not a teenager.

"I'm like Marmite, you either love me or hate me" - not because you're dirty looking and you stink then?

People who you tell you will ring back this afternoon and they ring you at 3pm because they haven't heard from you yet - There's still plenty of afternoon left you imbecile and you've just earned yourself a place at the bottom of my 'to do' list.

The c**ts who watch me work from the pub window across the street at 10am whilst already on their second pint - I have imagined their firey death on occasions too numerous to mention.

Katy Perry's Firework - Has there been a worse song ever? Give it up Ms Perry, your talents are wasted in the music business.

Whoever had the brignt idea to make my rugby matches kick off at the same time as the England internationals - Everyone involved is a surely a rugby fan (30+players, referee, bloke who sorts the fixtures, everyone watching, etc). Just f*****g make it earlier!!!

Feel free to add your own. Or don't, I don't give a sh*t.

Ah, that's better.

Haha Sam, so true about computers! I really don't know a whole load about them if I'm being honest, but for some reason my evil stepmother always takes it upon herself to ring me and expect me to fix theirs when it's broken.

@ali_hire: lol hehe

Stupid people
People who ask you a question then dont listen to the answer.
People who ask a question then ignore what you say in preference of what they already think.
People who don't listen to instructions then wonder why the cant work the thing they've just been instructed on.
People thinking that you want to spend your spare time doing what you do for a living for their benefit.

As this is the irrational hatred thread can I just vent spleen and shout ...

THERE - refers to a location!

THEIR - indicates possession!

THEY'RE - a contraction of "they are"!

It's not rocket science, people!

Also, "your" is always possessive, "you're" is a contraction of "you are". The number of people who repeatedly get this wrong is shameful.


Dear monos, a secret truth.

People that don't indicate!

I cross a section of dual carriageway on my way to work. The crossing point (no lights or anything) is just near the exit of a roundabout. I'd say 60% of people don't indicate so I have no idea whether they'll turn or not so I stand like a lemon waiting for a clear space. So many drivers have no idea that lights and indicators help other road users. Again, the number of people that drive in poor light/rain with just sidelights or no lights (reasoning, presumably, that they can see the road) is soooo frustrating. Whilst I used to hate the Scandinavian cars with permanent headlights, I welcome the introduction of LED daylight running lights to take the decision out of the hands of these people.

Speed.

I have this problem and it's not fair frown

My calligraphy is amazing, but it takes me absolutely ages to write stuff (about 3-5 seconds per letter). I spend all concentration on the formation of characters and consequentially miss characters, and sometimes whole words unless I write it down first crazy

If I write at "normal" speed, it's atrocious.

A happy medium gives legibility, but it still takes too long to be useful.

fair point, when I write quickly its far from great but at least I can read it.

My main bugbear is when people write things that others have to be able to read that are un-readable to the point where you ask them what it says and they reply "not sure, but I think it might say...."

Ridiculous spelling mistakes, made over and over again, no matter how many times they have been told.

Loose, instead of lose.
Definate.
Sentance.

...and rest.

Oh, non-indicators, too. grr

Somebody at work has just reminded me of something which really gets on my nerves.

Over-use of clichés. In fact, use of clichés generally.

Especially "at the end of the day".

Grrr...

People who sit at traffic lights with their foot on the foot brake... for 5 minutes. High level LED bulbs mean I CAN'T SEE A [cloud9] THING for 10 minutes. What is wrong with the handbrake or, if the road is level, no brake? I'd say at least 95% of people do this and it drives me wild. Full beam in your wing mirror then sir? grr

People who cause traffic. ANYONE who insists on stop start driving needs to be gassed. It causes the very traffic they sit in day in, day out. They then wait 5 seconds to pull away AFTER the car in front has, even though they can see the traffic lights change/ traffic start to move a minute before hand. When they do eventually pull away, it would usually be good enough for a 2.1s 60ft at Santa Pod. When you can pull away, maintain a regular speed that means you will NEVER have to stop and see what happens to the traffic behind idea punch
