opinions4u Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 The mysterious disappearance of socks and underpants, which, while safely lodged in the appropriate washing basket, never seem to turn up at the other end of the washing process. Where the hell do they go for a 2 week period, and how come they all turn up in the drawer en masse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Drivers who don't let on what they're doing at roundabouts (apparently some flashy cars only have indicators as an optional extra) and don't acknowledge you when you give way to let them through a gap. People who say, "Me, personally" and "I for one" (you can't be two!) The Brizzle dialect which sticks a "L" on the end of everything that ends with an "a"; AmericaL, cameraL, AsdaL etc, etc. And one bloody woman who gets her mobile out the minute she gets on the bus every morning and yaps all the way through the 25 minute journey to town.

opinions4u Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 You're approaching a roundabout. You look to the right and can see that all is clear. You carry on towards the roundabout. You then have to slam the breaks on because the dickhead in front hasn't bothered joining the empty roundabout and remains at the give way lines.

rudemedic Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Motorway service station (plus other types of station) mark up, if a whopper can be the same in Oldham as Oxford street then it can be the same in a motorway service station. Places that charge you a deposit for a trolley Average speed cameras on motorways People who drive too slowly for the situation- especially on slip-roads. Plastic bags which break too easily (if it can't take 4kg without breaking). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Ha ha me and the missus only had this conversation yesterday.....i put my TWO socks in the basket ....but....i always end up with half a dozen odd pairs! I came up with a solution to that phenomenon a few years back. Buy black socks. I bought fourteen pairs from M&S - all the same. You'll never wear odd socks again. They don't quite go with sandals, but who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Whilst we're on about roundabouts, I hate the stupid Mexican standoff pantomime that often occurs at mini roundabouts. Especially when you're behind someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you're behind someone. Yeah I know exactly what you mean- there's one in Durham by Tesco which is a right pain for that. I find the best way to deal with it is provided no one is already on the roundabout to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Whilst we're on about roundabouts, I hate the stupid Mexican standoff pantomime that often occurs at mini roundabouts. Especially when you're behind someone. Nobody seems to understand that it's still a roundabout. Give way to the right. Okay, here's a couple of mine: 1. Everbody in Tesco. Yes, everybody. When in Tesco, do not approach me, I'm likely to blow a gasket. 2. Users that type "Er" or "Erm" in posts. You smarmy 3. The use of the word - literally - "It was like, literally right in front of me!" - "I literally died!" I wish you would. 4. "Retail Management Nu-Speek". I hate all of it. From "Blue sky thinking" to "Touching base", from "Going forward" to "Let's not boil the sea". Talk friggin English and let's not boil my blood, why on Earth they have to talk like that is anybody's guess. Who started it? Wankers. I hate all of you anyway.

opinions4u Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Motorway service station (plus other types of station) mark up, if a whopper can be the same in Oldham as Oxford street then it can be the same in a motorway service station. Of course, this is another tax. The Government owns the land that motorway service stations operate on, and lease it to the like of Moto and Welcome Break for a small fortune. The cost of that lease is then built in to the pricing structure. So, taxation of all sorts is one that I'll add to my list. Not that I object to paying for services that can be better provided by the state, I don't. But as the state usually wastes it, I hate paying tax. Insurance Premium Tax is the one that really gets me. You pay your tax for a police and judicial service that's pants. You then have to pay tax on your car insurance and contents insurance which have high premiums because the police have either failed to catch criminals, or the courts have failed to lock the scrotes up. So the Treasure benefits from the failure of the services it provides! Gits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometownclub Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Bloody hell where do I start? Taxi drivers - absolute wankers the lot of them. Chavs - scum lowlife. Bad drivers and people who think they own the F£$%^&g road. Pram faces - pregnant before they leave school so they can get straight on benefits without ever having done a days work, parasites. Manure and Citeh fans from anywhere but MANCHESTER, support your hometownclubs you useless TW@TS. That'll do to be going on with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Treasure benefits from the failure of the services it provides! Gits! I'm one of them unusual people who takes an interest in tax (its my job and pays me money), did you know that the basis of giving money a value in our economic system is that the government demands it in payment for taxes. So if they didn't demand it, techincally the monetary system 'could' collapse. As for IPT, yeah its crap, the only reason it is charged is because Insurance as a financial service, is exempt from VAT. So they charge IPT (strangley enough at 17.5%) instead. Only thing is, if your a VAT registered business, you can't claim back IPT like you can VAT, so it's even more crap. Saying that though, in my own opinion I prefer to be taxed on different things that I consume rather than it being lumped directly on my income.

Even though I would agree that it is high, as part of the agreement that service stations can have there little monopoly they have to provide toilets (free of charge), fuel and refreshments 24/7, 365, which means there overheads tend to be higher than most places.

Thanks for taking part in the thought shower. I actually like people using literally in a completely wrong manner as when they say things such as "I literally died!" it means I can take their stuff.

OldhamSheridan Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I have a list a mile long, but I suppose we should limit things... Old people going out shopping during working peoples dinner hours*. Why? Go out after 2pm and you'll get served instantly. A group of lasses on pavements. There is no age issue here. They are as a whole ignorant. The pavement has room for three people sideways. Two lots of blokes waslking in different directions will go single file. The ladies will go 3 abreast and expect you to step into the road. Village/small inbred town drivers. Durham up here, but it could just as easily be Burnley. Drivers who dither and don't go when spaces are available in traffic. Also are the ones going at 5mph at the end of a slip road. Football. Why do I pay £20 to watch something that I'm either miserable because we aren't winning - or I want the game to end? Who's bright idea was this? The in your face "Some people are gay, get over it" poster on the next offices door. I feel like putting one up saying "Some people are homophobic, get over it". Though I'd probably get sacked if I did that. *I've noticed that bus manners have changed completely. Now old people on the bus aren't automatically given a seat by younger people. I was even on one where a young lad was asked to give up his seat, his respone 'No, I've paid for my seat'. I'd have stood up and applauded if I didn't think one of the coffin dodgers would have had my seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
