pet hates?

[Toxic Ted]

Lorry drivers on the motorway who take 20 miles to overtake and idiots who make coffee and put the coffee covered spoon back in the sugar.........or stir the tea after the coffee.........AAAAAAAnd weekend cyclists who insist on riding three abreast on a country road where its almost impossible to overtake!!!!!

This should be a capital offence. Instant kangaroo court martial, and if guilty, immediate execution. No appeal.

 

[Ermintrude]

Doing work at home , you can't walk off and when u tell wife that it would be a real help if she took toddler two dogs and numerous cats and she takes them f or 30 seconds. Did I mention I hate tiling .

 

[Mike Jackson]

Cheap tea bags especially when you turn up to a posh gaff with a fancy car in the drive.

Customers that question your hourly rate, if you don't like it employ someone else.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Cheap tea bags

The work of the devil. But not as bad as cheap cheese.

What is the point of cheddar that has so little taste you may as well be an American?

 

[kirkgas]

It's only nearly work related but I hate people who can't park, my car is the white one in this pic

Cheddar needs to burn your gums or it's not strong enough. If it is also impossible to slice thinly because is is so crumbly all the better.

How about soft cheese that goes out of date before it's ripe enough to eat. If you open the fridge and the Brie doesn't crawl out on it's own it's not ripe enough.

For any of you close enough to the Lakes there's a brilliant cheese shop in Cartmel, with a micro brewery next to it too!

did you have to stop due to weight limit restrictions Jon? 🙂, or did they suddenly raise the height of the buttons 🙂

Hark at you Tubby!

There is a worse version. You go somewhere, and there is only one parking spot left. Because of the way that the other people have parked, you have to park straddling the bay lines.

Then when you come back to your car, the d1cks either side of you have gone, and everyone looks at you like you parked that way deliberately.

I don't even bother to look at the date on camembert. Just smell it.

Mrs S can't understand it. She'll buy me some during the week, and then be disappointed that I don't eat it that weekend. That would be sacrilege. And probably illegal. I have my CRB check to think of, I can't be caught messing about with under-age dairy products!

 

[Ray Stafford]

I might have to add old speckled hen to the list.

Bought some tonight for the first time. Its almost, but not quite, a decent beer. It reminds me of something I used to drink when I was younger, but I can't remember what. Might be Watney's Stag.

Anyway, a disappointment.

 

[Centralheatking]

I wrote my original hate list 15 years ago - i filled an a4 in small type most of which is not allowed


Centralheatking

Lol! Spot on! - I have been adding to the list already! :smile:

While we're on about beer, I cannot stand that yellow fizzy dishwater so beloved of footballers and children afraid of utilising their tastebuds.

....And Football
....People who say "It's not rocket science!"
....Rocket science
....My daughters light controlled mermaid that scares the crap clean out of you at 3 in the morning when you go down to the kitchen for a drink of water.... "Helloooo.... What's your name?"

 

[townfanjon]

Laminate and tiled timber-floors, dont we just love them ???

 

[wetdrip]

When your socks come off your feet inside your wellingtons and end up in front of your toes.Especially when you've taken the dog for a walk, in the woods, on a freezing winters morning like this morning.

 

[Ermintrude]

Sparks who think it's ok to play with boiler as it's only electrical

 

[Phil]

Going to a pub toilet wearing my new shoes/trainers and having to stand around a lake of cold urine on the floor with my legs spread wide and then washing my hands while some animal comes straight out of the cubicle and marches right out through the door, contamninating the door handle with jobbie just before I need to touch it.

 

[DaveTidy]

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.

[lame plumber]

anyone that pukes inside the lifeboat wheelhouse and doesnt clear up when we get alongside.

anyone who refuses to share the bucket when I need it!!!

anyone thick enough not to read sign langauge, that means throttles to zero, I'm trying to get out the door, whilst putting on a lifejacket and open the door whilst swallowing.

Finally, the dope who has been tied on outside as he vomits continuously who comments haha you being sick then, as I finish and go back to continue navigating us to our destination.

And to cap it off, the groundcrewman who goes, you been sick out there then haha!!!, when for whatever reason they choose not to go to sea in a storm!

Otherwise its all good for the soul , luckily vomiting means my co-ordination isnt good enough to swing a punch 🙂

 

[jonnyswamp]

Carpets that turn to dust when lifted
Carpet grippers that act as a skin magnet as soon as they're exposed then shred your fingers
Customers that expect a boiler repair, when they asked for a boiler service
Thermalite block walls
Dot and dabbed plasterboard on thermalite walls (with no adhesive where your rad brackets sit)
Dog owners who think its OK to talk over a barking dog instead of shutting it up
Drunken kids who think they grow 6 inches and put on a stone with every bottle of corona they drink
And everything that has already been posted

 

[lame plumber]

wall blocks made of cinder ash fm the old power station, that dust marks everything

[BN9Pete]

1 Gate valves(never work).
2 Pop up wastes.
3 Drain offs fitted too close to the floor, or don't work.
4 Stop tap located in a cupboard behind 10 pots and pans or 5 bottles of bleach, then don't work when finally found.
5 No loft ladder.
6 No light in loft.
7 Tank connectors with lugs in so you can't fit a bung.
8 Customers not making me tea.
9 Customers offering me tea after I have asked them if they need any water and I have then turned off the water
10 Customer leaving answer phone message with life story but no phone number.


i could do a lot more than a list of 10, but that will do for now.

 

[BN9Pete]

when a custard rings and asks if your a plumber or heating technician, then asks if you repair/service boilers (having just found your ad that says what you do!). Then asks you to do a service, so you ask their name and you get sue/simon, doh I want your full name to be able to invoice you plonker!. Your address, I live in bideford, !!!!!!!!!! your house address? and then they give you step by step instructions how to find them, no address though!!!!!!!!!!!! which when they eventually tell you, means you know exactly where they are, so you give them a day and time your available, to which they say cant you do Sat at 4pm as I have to work!! When you explain you too work and you too really like wends off, but if they want to pay £150 plus for a service then youll work over the wend, they lose all interest 🙂

Exactly this with bells on.
very good.

Arsenal, London on the hole, traffic, people who can't drive when it rains a little! The state of my van, people that make an appointment and fail to turn up. Call centres, automated call centres, cookers that people never clean and wonder why the hob won't light you ANIMALS! People that live in filth again ANIMALS. Rubbish takeaways how do these places stay open?? Bus stops that sit out in the road, nomadic caravan dwellers. Scrap vans, thieves, graffiti, the bloke in the Citroen van on my way home tonight yeah I'll see you again pal don't you worry!! Cat mess in my gravel.

Really well guess what I have and i will again because it's what the job was worth! Banks, queuing.... I'll be honest the list is endless I could go on but I won't

 

[Dannypipe]

Well I agree with just about everything written.

My most regularly done pet hate, is driving. I hate how driving turns people into inconsiderate A holes.

Hogging the over taking lane on the motor way.
Driving up the backside of slower cars.
Using their horn for no real reason (like someone is too slow to pull away from lights)
Crossing the white line on country lanes often done by people who drive way too fast.
People who don't give way when they should.
People who give way when they shouldn't.

I hate driving, I hate driving to work more than driving to say the cinema, but even driving to just the shops is a royal ball ache. It used to be fun when I was 17....but now I just can't believe how rude people are.

I'm not saying I drive like an angel but on the whole I don't do any of the above.
