My current top five hates

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

I already have a facebook account actually - and you're quite right, it's good for keeping in touch with people when I'm at my desk and can't ring people up. It's the people that use it as a replacement for personal contact that get on my nerves a bit...

Thankfully, it's not banned at my workplace!
 
.
2. Parents who let their children scream and do nothing about it.

Kids scream to get attention..even if it is a smack, it's still attention, which is why they keep doing it.

Ignore them and they will end up realizing there are easier and better ways to get their parents attention!!

Simple really.
 
I like the grafitti walls on FB. Some people get way too keeno on their applications, but a grafitti wall on everyone's profile is a must!

;)

Tesco's "Easy Peel" satsumas.
So easy to peel it's takes 5 minutes & the skins comes off in 352 pieces!
Grrrrrr!!!

This is a real time hatred, as in it's developed in the past minute!

Satsumas are crap compared to clementines....!
Easy peelers are usually the opposite of their name though.
 
Right ok heres my current 5 top hates:

1) At the moment its Steve Mclaren, I hold this man personally responsible for embarrassing the nation into not qualifying for a major tournament.

2) Im afraid I have to say cyclists too. ESPECIALLY the ones in London. I dont have a problem with the ones that abide by the rules of the road but the ones that think they are exempt from traffic lights, no right/left hand turns etc. Why do they think they can do this? I'll also bet as soon as they get run over (god forbid) blame will be aportioned to the motorist.....

3) the price of petrol - this is completly out of hand. Given the fact I have a bf that lives in Nottingham Im putting a lot of this expensive juice into my car, and it makes me want to kill someone with the petrol pump everytime I see the amount of pounds surpassing the amount of litres I am putting into my car. Only upside is the great smell.

4) Being a legal secretary and being asked to do pathetic jobs - Correct me if I am mistaken but wasnt slavery abolished years ago? Because I am recently being asked to do some of the most ****ing **** take jobs in the world. Dont get me wrong, I realise that I am employed to work for these money hungry solicitors, but they really take the **** sometimes. Being sent emails asking me to print out a ONE PAGE DOCUMENT when the printer is closer to them than to me - hello carbon footprint alert! Asking me to come into their room, take their wall planner off the wall, while they watch of course and then ask me to put it in the bin right in front of them.
All of this is **** taking of the highest order.

5) Hoodrat kids and teenagers who play songs on their phones while walking along so that EVERYONE can hear them, what the hell is the point of this and what is wrong with the use of headphones???
 
1) Rugby fans on sports letters pages. No amount of chip-on-the-shoulder bile about how footballers don't sing the anthem or respect referees can take away the fact that your sport is a form of hoof-ball even Dave Bassett's Wimbledon would have been ashamed of playing interspersed with some group hugging.

2) BBC 6 Music's trend of appointing stand-up comedians to host their shows instead of people that actually know about music. George Lamb, Russell Howard, Steven Merchant...sod off. If you're going to have "funnymen" presenting, at least follow in Phill Jupitus' footsteps and have a passion for what you're playing.

3) People on Facebook adding you as a friend even though you've not seen them since you went to school, and even then you hardly spoke to them anyway. Then they go and send you some stupid Zombie application or something.

4) Health and Safety Officers who take their job far too seriously. I'm all for bringing in things to make the workplace safer, but last week I went to a meeting where I had to sit through a talk lasting an HOUR on the HSE's Slips, Trips and Falls Roadshow. I only just managed to stop my cardiovascular system from haemorraghing in a bid to end the boredom.

5) Racism

6) The Dutch.

7) People who don't read topic headings.

22 going on 52!!! :hilarious:

No 4, sounds a bit dodgy. Some females I've worked with in the past would have pulled the wall planner thing up as a case for sexual harrassment!

This is much like "soft scoop" ice cream when in fact the reality is that even a hack saw wont get it out of the tub and into your bowl.
 
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.

Or the other one that is ****ing me off atthe moment are the people who stand right on the edge of the platform where they know the doors open - even though their train isnt coming for another 20 minutes.
Most times im stood there for 10 seconds waiting for someone to press the button before i realise whats happened, or have to negotiate the crowd to jump on the train. Just stand back from the ****ing platform until your train turns up.

And people who cant negotiate stairs (im not talking about the disabled etc). Im running to get my train yet cant get up the stairs in time because all the people who cant walk up the stairs at a reasonable speed are lined up like a 5 man wall so no one can get past.

At least you get to go home at 5:30.

It could be far worse, you could have spent 7 years of your life becoming highly trained, only to end up spending your life proof-reading, crossing out [insert Tenant's name] and writing in the Tenant's name, sending chasing e-mails and then filing them, filling in pointless land registry forms all while your bosses are moaning at you to record your 8 hours of billable, dull work a day, in addition to the 4 hours of non-billable mindless crap you have to do.
