People complaining about the cost of fuel...then leaving their engine running.

Clouds of flies that disperse en masse from dog sh*t on the pavement as you walk past them, and then and they zoom back to their yuk activity 3 seconds later.

Note-not a dog sh*t rant, (dogs used to sh*t in the kerbs in the old days), people should look where they tread/train your kids.

[unlurked]

Endless cyclists/cycling threads. Yawn.

[KalamityKel]

Yawning

The non existence of cheque/paying in books for left handers. Filling in a stub is nearly frigging impossible.

[maxxi]

You still use a cheque/paying in book? Where do you bank? The 20th Century?

[Dog duck]

People who don't know when to prune their victoria plum tree.

[Salsaboy]

Women who put their make up on whilst sitting on the train in the morning. Get up earlier ffs.

[uncleglen]

Apart from the last post from Salsaboy (just think one of these days the mascara will poke in their eye, or the lipstick will end up around the ear area and take comfort), most of these things cause me irrational consternation for one reason or another so I wouldn't really say it was 'irrational' rage because there are sound reasons for all of the above to be objectionable- especially going for a walk with another person over 5 ft tall and having to dodge round all the overhanging bushes around East Dulwich(I don't know if this has been mentioned but it has now).

How do you pay a cheque into the bank?

[aquarius moon]

You go into a bank with the cheque & paying-in-book.

At least I do, so obviously I'm living in the dark ages too!

This used to send me into irrational rage to - until last Wednesday morning. If you were in the second carriage of the 08.40 to London Bridge, you might have seen the young woman who, after doing her make-up, started moisturising her legs. I was the bloke sitting next to her as she silkily massaged up and down her legs. It took all my self-control not to do a Vic Reeves-style pervy thigh rub or two. Unbelievable.

People that watch you push the button at a pelican crossing/on the bus/to call a lift then push it themselves again 'just to make sure'. Like they don't think you're capable of pushing a button properly.

[titch juicy]

Commuters that continue to read their book/paper when they get off the train or walking across London bridge.

People who write comments on YouTube to old pieces of music saying things like "this was when music was REAL music, not like today's rubbish." You're wrong; some/most of today's music is better than Bananarama or Baltimora. It's just that you're not a teenager anymore.

Yes where do bluebottles go when they aren't doing there sh*t thing?

[steveo]

Telephone cold callers who ask me how I am today

[Alan Medic]

It's a sales ploy I bet!

[the-e-dealer]

Modern music that isnt a patch on Bananarama or Depeche Mode

[ruffers]

The one in the middle in Banarama

[jctg]

Baltimora = "I am running at them now with my trousers down".

[fernado]

erections

[Atticus]

If one in middle was the blonde, then I concur. Fancied the dark haired one though, disclaimer: this in reference to Bananarama and not Baltimora, although those guys are hot too.

[jctg]

"Pop up" this and that everywhere.

[fernado]

Tube drivers with verbal diarrhoea
