Pet hates (Series 3)

[Scunner]

People who holiday in places, or worse still buy a property and can't even spell the place. You can imagine with my history I've seen pretty much all of them, Chalis, Chalish, Calais, Fetihye, Fetiyer, Hisonaru, Uzumulu...

...but the one that makes me cringe is nothing to do with Turkey...The "Grand Canaries"

[Highlander]

Couldn't agree more with that one   

[Scunner]

Since I'm here for a change (home ) here's an irrational one...

In those awful queuing mazes you find at banks and the like where you are routed up and back several times like bleedin sheep...the ones at the airport check in (and passport control when you get home) - not the queuing, but people who stay where they are when the queue moves forward. They are in front of us and everyone in front of them has moved on 5 metres but they just leave it as a 5 metre gap.

Grrr one day I will just walk round them into the space  

[Highlander]

People who pepper their texts with acronyms especially obscure acronyms which the writer have specialist knowledge of but which the reader would never have heard of and couldn't possibly guess.

Same scenario in queuing traffic

Just one more major irritation as I need sleep

People in banks primarily, but I note it is becoming more widespread into retail, who will process your transaction and while doing so will totally invade your life by asking inane cr4p like "so what else are you up to today?" - "none of your business d1ckhead, just shut up & pay that cheque into my account"

I have a friend with his own text abbreviation language who I swear could condense the Complete Works of Shakespeare into 3 letters

[DavidNicholson]

People who seem to think that the words "something" , "nothing" and "everything" end in a "K"!!!!

[Highlander]

Cyclists who.......

Cyclists who.......

Oh to hell with it.......

Cyclists period.

I'm sure I've seen a picture of you in Lycra H. Or was it just another alcohol fuelled nightmare ?
