My current top five hates

[Napster]

she's getting chart stuff from the late 80s/early 90s :guns:

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

there's too many songs to recount, Ben.

:p

Uh-oh. Get those ear-plugs ready then! :D

 

[Firestorm]

People who can't be bother to learn the language properly (spoken and written) when they have been taught it from birth and at school since they were 5, Yet expect everyone else to decipher their illiterate scrawl then dismiss it with a "well you understood"

txt spk, 1) its not trendy it is years old and used to be used on Telexes
2) Its no longer nessecary as nothing is charged per character these days
3) If you can't fit it in 96 Characters then talk to them You have a phone in your hand
4) Internet forums are not the same as texting.

People who cite facts as facts without colaberative evidence (if it is not good enough for wikipedia why should I accept it).

Women who get on the train at Benfleet - Look I don't mind looking at you please don't talk

Items for sale under a big banner marked CHRISTMAS and labelled as Christmas but they have a sell by date in late October !

1). Northerners who cant accept there areas are slums.

Last nights show 20 worst and best towns. For example Doncaster - Having seen the Blues there twice now I can confirm it is worse the Baghdad - Yet John from Donny texts in "Donny is great - Its got a shop and a pub. **** off John you ****er.

2.) People on trains that seem to think they have the right to be first on the train.

You all know the score. We all queue up for the train by the door. As soon as its comes in some tosser thinks he can knock all and sundry out the way to get to the seats first. Show some courtesy.

3.) Cyclist in London.

They never give way, obbey the rules of the road etc etc yet when someone cuts them up all the sudden its crime of the century.

4). Shops that charge over the odds.

A 500ml bottle of coke in our local sainsurys is 67p the Asian shop across the or road charges £1.39. How even using ecconomies of scale can it be this expensive.

5) The Welsh.

No explanation needed.

That goes for cyclists anywhere I reckon - although to be fair you only really notice the bad ones. They're quick to point the finger if a car cuts them up but they seem to think it's ok to ride at speed on pavements, not use lights at night, jump traffic lights and cut across junctions causing all and sundry to perform emergency stops to avoid them...

 

[Flaiming Moe]

1. Hoodies.
2. Parents who let their children scream and do nothing about it.
3. People who spit on the floor.
4. The drivers that don't say thank you when you let them out.
5. Traffic Wardens.

This is (generally) the commutting nutters I referred to a few weeks back for which MtS red-repped me!

Personally, if I'm out training & I'm going down a road with red light after red light and it's safe for me to do so, I won't hesitate in jumping a red light. I will only do this however it is safe for me to do so & doesn't really wind up too many other motorists queuing.

I had to ride my bike to work last Thurs & Fri and riding home on Fri evening I was approaching a notorious junction about a couple of miles from my house. I was on the main road and out of the junction about 25metres in front of me out pulls a HGV without even looking. I had to slam on my brakes to ensure I didn't end up mangled under a 10 wheel trailer. I screamed at the top of my lungs "what the **** did he think he was doing" and after I'd attracted his attention we spent 2 minutes of going down the road with me offering him my open & honest feedback on his driving skills! He almost crashed into 5 or 6 cars coming in the other direction during this, then he thought better of it and overtook me, to which he got a friendly wave! Then 5 minutes later I'm almost home & around the bend I see he's parked waiting for me with a monkey wrench in hand. Luckily he didn't quite see me so I turned tail and sped back to the original junction and went the long way home. Wish I'd took his numberplate & haulage company info & reported him now, the overweight cretinous ****! Still, he probably spends his evenings away from home on the internet trying to pull local transvestites!

2. Parents who let their children scream and do nothing about it.

Not as easy as that though.
I like to think I took to parenting quite well, but there's just times when you can't stop them tantruming and it's just better to allow them to shout and scream, no matter how well behaved they are for 99.9% of the time!

 

[grayhound]

1. Facebook.
Fed up of people talking about it. I'm pretty much the only person out of my friends who isn't on it, yet they never fill me in on conversations they have on there (as if they're all secret on Facebook). And, why does everybody say 'yeah, i don't like it, it's just good to catch up with friends you don't ever speak to'. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU DON'T SPEAK TO THEM? IS IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THEM???

Totally agree. All i ever get from my mates is sign up to facebook "theres loads of birds on there".

What ever happened to using cheesey chatty up lines and going to chat up birds face to face.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

My pet hates:

1. Cyclist haters. Yes, Dave, I mean you. We're saving the environment and the national obesity time bomb, so ner.

:finger: :guns:

2. Reality TV. Please, please, please, please stop. Please. TV is supposed to be escapism, or information, or entertainment. There's abso-fuggin-lutely nothing entertaining about looking at Doreen from Dorking get up, sing poorly, and then be lambasted by Simon smug-b'stard high-waisted Cowell. The stocks & pillories went out of fashion about 500 years ago, so why the f*** have we brought them back?

3. Big Brother. Although it's a form of reality TV and so is counted above, it deserves its own special shrine of hatred. Get these f***ing media whore no-marks off my telly now, for f***'s sake!

4. Michael Barrymore. How and why is this man still at large in the community? Every time I see him, I get the willies.

:eek:

5. People who think Facebook is the be-all and end-all. It isn't. ShrimperZone is.

:finger:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

1. Steven Gerrard, or at least those who keep on banging on about how good he is. If he's the world's greatest living footballer, or even one of the best players in the premier$hite wouldn't he have actually contributed something to England's qualifying campaign other than some goals against Andorra? Its no wonder the Russians left him unmarked 6 yards out at the far post. For the last couple of years our midfield woes have been blamed on Lampard, but what has alleged European footballer of the year candidate Gerrard actually contributed other than a load of overhit Hollywood passes that give the ball away? Last night he was captain and again went missing when England needed him.

2. People murdering the English language. Speak and write English properly you *****. Your English is appalling despite the fact you're English.

3. West Ham. They haven't done anything to annoy me in the last couple of days, but its only a matter of time. *****.

4. Arm-chair fans/plastics slagging off England. No problem with proper fans getting ****ed off with England's performances, but its the tossers crawling out of the woodwork who don't even bother to watch qualifiers against Macedonia and Andorra on the telly but are happy to stick the knife in when they lose away at Russia. Slagging off your team is a privilege that should be reserved for those who emotionally invest in their team. I don't want to hear people say England were crap, I prefer club football. If you don't care SHUT THE **** UP. I care about England and I'm ****ed off that they lost.

5. The sun might be out, but its too cold to be lounging outside in the sun. I want summer.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

5. The Restaurant on BBC2.
Firstly, this show must have been going on for three months now. When will it end? Also, how many more of these types of shows are we going to have where people are voted off week by week in a bid to win a big prize at the end...? Seriously, is this the best TV executives can come up with?

It finished last night, please refer to the ramblings of me & MK in the Dragons Den thread. Given the chance you would do the twins though wouldn't you?

 

[Southend_Lady]

i like facebook

Me too, its a good way to get in touch with people you havent seen for a long time. Yeah ok they obviously arent as close friends if you dont talk to them anymore but its cool to find out what people are up to and stuff.
Plus its an alternative to emailing which is boring!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Plus its an alternative to emailing

So is using the telephone! ;)

 

[Southend_Lady]

So is using the telephone! ;)

Well what if you cant afford to chat on the phone or like me at work you cant sit chatting on the phone all day - well I could but would prob be handed my P45 pretty swifty.
Dont get me wrong I call all my close mates and keep in regular contact with them but think facebook is a good way of dropping by just to say a quick hello or leave a message if you cant call or something.

Get on to facebook and you will see what you have been missing all your life :rolleyes:

Lucky you working in an environment where Facebook/MySpace etc aren't banned!
