WHAT BUGS YOU MOST? And WHY, WHY, WHY?

[Digsyboy]

Having just re-read the ahem "debate" on smoking in pubs (took about half an hour and what a bunch of cranky buggers you all were too I might add ):fencing: I thought it would be good if we have a little poll where you guys decide what it is that pees you off more than anything else in todays pox-ridden society, and give a brief(ish) explanation as to why you are right and every bugger else is wrong!!!!

Vent your proverbial spleen :do-one:

[Digsyboy]

i SHALL START - AND FIRSTLY HOW HARD TO CHOOSE ONLY ONE!!!! THEY ALL BUG ME
Car drivers wazz me off as they are selfish, selfish, selfish.

1. Everbody is wrong and they are right.
2. They pump out more toxins and fumes from their exhaust pipes than you could shake a stick at. They are slowly poisoning me on my pushy, and kids in prams, and my poor dog Sam and his friends and so forth.
3. They whinge about there being too many speed cameras - don't speed then and it won't affect you.
4. They whinge about speed bumps and potential damage that can be caused - they are there because you are speeding ya numpties, especially in town streets where pedestrians are. Don't speed and they will go away!
5. They whinge about fuel costs - get public transport then,I do, supply & demand, most of you don't need to drive most of the time anyway.
6. They whinge about public transport being rubbish & infrequent - that's because you continuously drive. again supply & demand. More customers mean fairs come down, service is improved and become more frequent.
7. They whinge about parking tickets - don't park where you shouldn't do then. Get public transport into town instead.
8. They park on pavements - this really bloody winds me up - you would soon start moaning if I started casually walking down the road instead of the pavement wouldn't you. Therefore PARK ON THE ROAD. If there isn't enough room for you to park eg) double parking, then park elsewhere. Some of you are so lazy, that you would drive into your house if you could.
9. Drivers who don't indicate - I can manage to indicate on my pushy in a gale force wind, so am sure you buggers in your cozy little cars could do the same. How hard can it be to move a stick up and down.
10. Planks who play BOOM, BOOM, BOOM music at full pelt out of their windows - I DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR CRAPPY CHUNES OK! i wouldn't mind as much if it was anything decent but it never is Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'll stop ther and go and have a lie down in a darkened room for a bit.

[Digsyboy]

don't forget - it isn't good enough to just choose an option, you need to state your case as to why, why,why

[Col.Kurtz]

Nothing bugs me that much from the original poll list tbh, and I agree with most of your points in your driving list too. (is this a record?) just don't get me started on bad driving habits!! Grr!!

I'm not in favour of the smoking ban in pubs, but don't use them much nowadays, so they can do what they want.

One thing I would pick up on is that public transport is not an option for people who use their car for business and need to transport bulky equipment - just not an option on the bus or train (even if they actually went where you wanted to go).

My personal major annoyance is the sheer number of uninsured/banned drivers on the road today, and the tendancy for people to leave the scene of an accident without leaving their details. It's not happened to me for years, but so many people I know have had it happen to them it's unbelievable. I've also seen it happen for myself on car parks - I left a note with the perpetrator's registration number and my telephone number on the damaged car. I hope someone would do the same for me should the same happen to my car.

...oh and those cheap cd's that say they are by original artists...but are re-recordings and not what you wanted. lol

[Angel]

Ummm take it you dont like car drivers digsy!

[Digsyboy]

haha
now that would be telling Angelster no wouldn't it
BUT
I do find car drivers to be a particularly arrogent and sod-the-lot-of-yer type race ( not all of them, just the vast majority )
I think cars and religion are at the root of nearly all the evil in the world.......... oh, and shawaddywaddy too

My 'Other' choice is Political Correctness.

It is undermining everything British. I loath it with a passion.

I don't really know where you are coming from with that statement - far too sweeping a generalisation.

...but I suspect your just trying to wind us up.


It would be like be saying all cyclists are like this:

[Digsyboy]

haha - you've sussed me ColK
and the video......well I never did, and I've never been so :-p

[Sweetpea]

I will agree that car drivers think they own the planet and that pedestrians are third class citizens.

[Angel]

I'm a car driver and a pedestrian, as a driver pedestrians can sometimes be a pain in the ass, as a pedestrian car drivers can be too.

[Sweetpea]

Why is it that one never seems to see the other?

[Col.Kurtz]

I am constantly amazed at how many cyclists ride without lights in the dark - not just kids either!

As well as a driver, I'm also an occasional cyclist and a pedestrian, there are bad examples of all of these.

...now don't get me started on bad shopping trolley 'drivers'!
