little things that annoy the shit out of you

[Trumo]

Car scruffs. I don't imagine most people's cars are kept absolutely tidy inside. One or two things might end up lying around before you get round to picking them up, but generally it won't be too bad in there.

 

However...

 

During this pandemic period, I - like most people I guess - have taken to watching a lot of Youtube videos to pass a bit of time. One of the channels I'm addicted to is by a car detailer (he washes and cleans cars, in case you were wondering!) called Detail Geek. It's quite therapeutic to watch dirty cars being cleaned to look almost like new. What bugs me is that these cars are absolutely full of rubbish, especially takeaway rubbish, and even old mouldy food on occasion. Detail Geek clears all that out for them. The question is always asked in the comments, and there is always one person who suggests that the owner might be going through some difficult times and are on their uppers. They are paying a couple of hundred dollars to get their car detailed, so I highly doubt that! It's just lazy fuckers who want to sell the car but don't want it to resemble a dumpster.

I know a girl who has the front passenger side seat and footwell so full of shite like empty cans, bottles and magazines that when she gave my mate a lift he had to sit in the back in the small space beside her kid’s booster seat where there was just enough room for his legs to go. Apparently she drove like a maniac as well. She’s fit though so I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter.

I shared a flat with a girl for a few years and her bedroom was an absolute tip, you couldn’t see the floor for old plates, clothes, magazines etc.

I had some twat beep me other week. I pulled out in front of him as he had his left indicator on. He beeped, gave me fingers and continued driving obviously with his left indicator still fucking on

Unless I see the car slowing right down or motioning to make the turn I generally ignore the cars approaching at a junction indicating left. I probably had a similar incident to you once. 

 

I live in an area where I am constantly sitting behind very old women driving at 20 mph, as fast as 27 on the country lanes. They come to a complete stop at small roundabouts when you can see there's nothing for miles. They often will stop suddenly on main roads to allow people to cross or to wave out cars that are waiting to join the road. I am all for being courteous to other road users and pedestrians but that's carrying it a little too far. 

 

I was driving along one lane yesterday, just passing the cemetery when three loons on motorbikes approached all over the road, one mid wheelie right past me. If you're not driving with a car camera these days then you're mad in my opinion. 

 

Then there was the usual horse and trap crawling down the country lanes, although to be fair they did wait until the evening rush hour to go out for maximum effect. The tractors are those huge ones that look more like monster trucks and they whizz along at a scary speed when you're approaching them from the other side of the road. 

 

The days of going out for a nice drive on glorious summer days has long gone for me, not just the fuel prices, cyclists or the mobile speed cameras (I generally don't speed but I think at times we all drift a little over 30 with the traffic) but driving has not been fun for decades. 

 

I recently got rid of my suv because I was going out less and less, not just the pandemic although that accelerated my decision somewhat. Instead I bought my daughters car, and the day after I bought it I turned on the ignition to be welcomed by the brake warning light. I didn't even get a day, fuck my luck. £156 later that's fixed. I also replaced (myself) the rear bumper that it appears had its name taken far too literally. Tomorrow it's getting a full valet so I can see what colour the seats are and if it came in gloss or matt finish.

Noisy wankers on motorbikes.

We don't want you, now fuck off.

How does it feel generally?
My folks were there last week and said it was really busy (yeah yeah I realise they were there adding to the numbers but they have been going regularly for years.

We know people who live around Aviemore who’re saying the additional visitors or causing real problems. What kind of animals would think it’s ok to set up camp and then leave their actual shit at lay-bys because the official camp sites are full

The lay-by and illegal camping problem is off the charts.

 

I live not far from Wast Water, as one of the more remote lakes it's normally pretty quiet but it's like Benidorm during Cheltenham week at the moment. 

 

There was an emergency the other week where a canoe had overturned and numerous emergency vehicles responded and struggled to get through.

I feel so sorry for you all.
It makes me feel like never leaving the house again

People who answer a question and start with the word "so" Jessie Ware has just been on ken Bruce and he's asking her about her new music plans etc "What can we expect from the new album? "So...aammmm well its kind of...." Probably should have upgraded this to the rant thread. I'm pissed right off, fucking homogenized leafy London types 

 

Whats the "so" at the start for you fucking glider

Makes sense. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

People who love to stand around pointing and emparting wisdom (usually after the fact).

 

"Nah, you should have done it this way", or "I'd have done it like this, would have saved you a ton of time".

 

However, rarely do we ever see these cunts turn up on time and role their sleeves up to get stuck in, always conveniently late, condescend from a distance.

TV is shite turned it on now fucking Martin Kemp and his kid with their own saturday morning show I'd rather fucking drink bleach. His kid was only ever bearable on Tele because he was always with Vick Hope. Fucking Sky I tell you what sky.. fuck off the packages and just let me select each channel individually that I'd like to keep because its 99 percent absolute dogshit filler, terribly made cheap programmes for imbeciles or constant re rolling repeats of  shit that was crap the first time round. I would save myself time looking through channels because I reckon I'd have 10 or less and I'd save a fortune not paying for your carefully selected packaged turds and if everybody had this choice the amount of time and money just frittered away making absolute fucking horseshit programmes might stop.

 

Go through the TV guide every single programme on there took people, planning, time and money to produce and for what pieces of shit that's recycled more than steel but sky make us pay for it over and over again. Press plus 24 hours exact same programmes same time keep pressing plus 24 hours and realise we are paying to have our brains kicked in the bollocks.

 

Fuck you sky and every single production company that makes these pieces of shit like its a great idea and needs to be done. Also fuck the nepotism, youre whose kid! Get the fuck out of here.

[Chr15]

TV doesn't show repeats any more. 

They show "classics"

People from Yorkshire telling you that they're from Yorkshire.

Professional whatevers do my head in. Get them everywhere. The scouse ones are the ones I used to notice most. When I moved to Leeds as a young lad, there was a professional scouser at the place I worked - referred to the fact he was scouse in almost every sentence. It was mental. One day a lad asked him “what do you talk about to your family and friends when you go home? You can’t possibly keep telling them you’re scouse too?”

 

Its fucking everywhere though - that’s what I’ve noticed since moving away and living in a few different places. It’s tedious

More often than not, they don't even live in Yorkshire. See James Martin, Michael Parkinson, probably even Geoffrey Boycott...
