pet hates?

View the thread, titled "pet hates?" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

I also hate driving, I hate all other road users and they all hate me. I used to speed everywhere as a boy racer in the 90's but now I drive slowish to save fuel costs. You guys thunder past me in your dirty white Transits on the bypass and sky rocket up your diesel costs and for what?? I'm right behind you when you get to the roundabout anyway.
Just to save 30 seconds?

Just the same mate, I drove like a class A prat in the 90's.

In my Golf GTA with big twin exhausts with "The Prodigy" blasting. Thinking I looked like the dogs dangles. Lucky I never crashed....oh hang on, I did.

I was no better in the van at that age, used to thrash it. Then moan when it played up. Once I hit my late 20's I definitely stopped being a knob behind the wheel and began to hate all those that are!

I was just the same...Prodigy 'fat of the land' in the CD changer...red Astra GTE with Peco 3" exhaust driving round town late at night always getting pulled over by police checking it was my car. Those were the days.......
 
Plumbers who park their vans crossways on our forecourt, thus taking up three spaces on a Monday morning.

You know who you are APPlumbing... 🙂
 
Adam doesn't have the excuse of driving the Beast though Mike. And the space would have taken his van and left room for a case of Cinzano.
 
customers who refuse good advice in place of something looking good then complain when it doesn't function how it should!
 
People who treat CCTV as a source of entertainment ( -- oops I'm that sad too -- )

It wasn't CCTV, I arrived at work this morning at about 7am, to see a CCS van parked right across 3 bays. I had never met Adam until today, but I knew it had to be him...
 
Women who leave shopping trolleys in middle of car park so that it rolls downhill at speed into someone's pride and joy.
Whenever I get into wife's car and there's no petrol in it.
Whenever women go out they have to have new dress, shoes, handbag, hairdo, nails etc.
Womens rubbish on telly.
Anyone see a link? :mad2:

Aye I'm linking you to a divorce lawyer if the boss sees this
 
The people who say, my toilet is overflowing, I've adjusted the float but it's not stopped!

You are mixing with the wrong women
 
Merchants where the parking spaces are too short so you have to park crossways across three.
Sounds like me in the Waitrose car park!

In fact since I been driving a LWB van for almost 2 years one of my very long list of pet hates is how difficult it is to park in smaller car parks. I guess the clue is in the name - car park.

Im a V.I.P! And most plumbers are still snoring at 7am so I didn't think it would be an issue.
Great tea served at Williams at 7.05am! (Little plug for you ray!)

No parking sensors? Miss them on my little van 🙂
 
Heres my list....

I got parking camera!!!!
That's ok for what is going on behind - BUt what about the sides -
I approach the little space and say to myself - breathe in!

I know I will fit but I might make an embarrassing meal of it!!!
Actually I avoid when they are busy.

I've no problem with parallel parking on the other hand - and I've given up my old practice of just reversing until I hear a noise and something physically stops me - I learnt that one when I lived in London.

Southeners! The out and out cheek. Only a Northern monkey could be so tactless! LOL.

I was impressed that a northerner could both type, and had access to the electric internet. 🙂

Perhaps he's on holiday darn sarf, or maybe he had a friendly southerner help type it.

Nobody parks well in a waitrose car park.......by definition the cars are bigger than the drivers ability to park!

' Can you help ?'
I'm not a plumber.
I'm not a DIYer not competent or incompetent
And I know I'm annoying 🙂
