Ramblers.

Are we talking about the die-hard ramblers who think that they own every single bridlepath in the UK and give mountain bikers abuse and won't move for us no matter how courteous we are and even though we have the legal right to be on said bridlepath? Yep. I hate them.

Bullies (of any description)

I learned a long time ago to never ever let anyone bully me. It does really piss me off so see someone else being bullied though.

People that suck the life out of society and encourage people to be consumers instead of tasting real adventure.


I could go on........trust me

CP, you're entire list is frighteningly close to mine, (except you missed Ramblers off it....)

Your post however gave me a "that's it, I've never been able to put my finger on it before" moment with the above last line.

Yes, they certainly get on my tits, but the ones that really, really make me mad, and I can't show a good reason for it, are the sort of middle aged bothersome cake-baking village hall types who organise five-milers round local footpaths and think they're living on the f*cking edge. :becool:
 
Managers who use the dreaded TLA's (three-letter acronyms) and don't even know what said acronyms stand for!!

Motorists who seem to think that riding a bike on their summer holidays with the kids qualifies them to 'know what they are talking about' when they don't leave you a fraction of the room they should when passing you in their car, and you draw their attention to this, part of which normally contains a reference to the how long it might have been since their flaccid behind sat on a bicycle.

The aforementioned stop-at-the-exit-from-an-escalator idiots. Ditto the same people who stop, in doorways, to talk to another person and block the bu66er.

Being dubbed a 'lycra lout' just because I dress in clothing which is comfortable to ride my bike in.

My B****y Epson printer which takes about half an hour of fiddling about and 19 wasted pages just to print one single page document.

Chavs with baseball hats perched at a jaunty angle....

British kids who dress up like some refugee from the Bronx. All American football shirts, and jeans halfway down round their a**e. If they want to join the Crips or the Bloods why don't they sod off to America.

Oh yeah, I forgot.... the Caravan Club. The club where the bookings system for 2010 opens on a weekday in 2009, when normal people are at work, so all the coffin dodgers who aren't working can spend all day booking sites for every weekend of 2010, even if they don't actually bother to use those reservations, thereby denying other people the chance to book any sites at all.

Rant over......

I wasn't going to post on this thread but having been out today it has to be people who don't clean any of the snow off their cars before driving.
Also the idiot in the red Golf who thinks that icy conditions means that he has a braking distance of 12" while following behind my car at 30mph.

People who stop in a shopping isle directly opposite some one else completely blocking the isle despite there is no one else using it apart from your self.

People in petrol queues who think they can only fill up from one side of a petrol pump even though the nozzle will reach both sides of a car.

Comet staff who repeatedly ask you "do you need any help", "have you found what you're looking for", wish they would just P*** off.

People who stop dead on elevators. I always take the stairs but sometimes there is non. Not a problem if they are old etc, but young people with no go, they P*** me off.

People who stop dead on entering a shop or leaving.

People who when turning left in there car drag slowing down out, before virtually coming to stop before turning, even though you can see the road is clear, but cannot overtake because of oncoming traffic.

Drivers who are in the right hand lane at traffic lights with no indicators on when there is an option to go straight on or turn right, you pull up behind them planning on going straight ahead, and as soon as the lights go to green, the driver in front instantly puts his right hand indicator on, hence you end up jammed in by such an inconsiderate A*** h***

People who always veer to the side that you want to pass them by and do not have any situational awareness as to what's around them.

In fact I,ve calmed down a bit since doing my shopping yesterday but still raging and stressed out. An hour on the turbo will sort me out.

People who insist on standing at the bar in crowded pubs, then glare as you have to force your way through to get served.

People who say infer when they mean imply.
People who say disinterested when they mean uninterested.
