Your very petty pet hates

Re: Your very petty pet hates

My birthday (30th August) - I feel guilty in celebrating it when it comes around because it's supposed to be an ordinary day for everyone else.
Nottingham - where I have lived all my life.
The 21st Century itself.

Finding that something you're looking for is exceedingly rare apparently even though it's not that old. And you know it's rare because it hardly, if ever, turns up on eBay.

Another youTube Gripe -- The increasing use of computer-generated robot voice narration in videos, often with a British accent, though I've also seen a few with an American southern accent.

I hate those YouTube sites that con you into clicking on them by using false titles so they're just a bloke giving his opinion on the subject backed with photos -- NO VIDEOS !!

Collectibles shops that are nothing more than the owner's warehouse and glorified clubroom -- more of a place for the owner (who makes most of his money online) and his mates to hang out than a place of business. It's often disorganised, has inconsistent hours, and half the stuff isn't even for sale! You would find that rare certain something that you've been looking for only to be told that it's part of the owner's personal collection and not for sale!

I've come across these quite a number of times. I've also come across the odd owner of these places, who is also downright ignorant. Generally, I tend to give these a total miss.

It's not just the idiots on pavements, it's the organ donors who jump red lights too!

There's a junction near us where I've seen do many close/calls !

For some reason we see people who fly off the mark just as green appears plus those who go through late on red ...

Terrible combination ... I'm wondering if it's because there are no cameras or no film in them - so people take chances

I see first hand the aftermath of RTAs and it's not nice, anyone caught jumping lights should be disqualified.

Re: Your very petty pet hates

A few times I've had a cyclist zoom diagonally across a road in front of me at night with no lights on.

Same here, and teenagers pulling wheelies infront of me.

Re: Your very petty pet hates

As a cyclist I agree with this, but I would say it’s people on bikes rather than cyclists, we’re usually on the road annoying motorists ��

I'm gonna take a guess and say you have a road bike?

Re: Your very petty pet hates

I remember i cycled up a very steep hill in Cheshire, when i got to the top i stopped on the left hand side of a junction, then a car came up behind me beeping its horn, it stopped behind me and was still beeping so i cycled around to the drivers side and asked the woman driver what her problem was, i was polite but she wasn't expecting me to confront her so she wound up her window and sped off. Haha!

Re: Your very petty pet hates

It is generally teenagers and blokes on mountain bikes that ride the pavements .
It's normally women or proper cyclists in the racing barb that use the lanes properly ..
