Dickheads that keep large exotic pets for no other reason than they are dickheads. Right up there with Circus fuckwits and their criminally insane tortured beasties. This chap got his from Leo, and some.

Trains.

Sending one perfectly on time to meet schedule adherence requirements despite 100 odd of it passengers being 70 yards away down the platform running from a train that is 10 mins late.

People called Smith being called Smitty/Smiddy. Jesus christ. Fuck off America.

I mean I could just stop watching American TV shows, but that's not the point.

Hoisters & Tea-leafs who remove 1 or more items from a multi-pack and leave the pack there.Surely it's easier just to trouser/bag the whole unit ?
Or maybe they consume the item on-the-hoof.Either way, they're of exceptionally low rank.

Those people are the lowest of the low. I’ve a begrudging respect for those who steal with a bit of chutzpah. When I lived in Nottingham I used to go drinking with a pro footballer player. He still hung out with his mates from the council estate he grew up on and one night after a few beers one of them told me that if you tie a carrier bag of the shop you are in to a large, big ticket item you can walk out of said shop uncontested 99% of the time. The chap made a decent living out of it and must have a large pair of cojones. At the other end of the scale is the s**t who stole a vest out of a three pack of toddler vests and my son had to go without a vest for the last day of a long weekend in Norfolk. No flair, no imagination and no massive cojones. Lowest of the low.

Yep. Though "people's vote" and "our NHS" are just as worthy.

And while I'm at it, if you do the washing up but leave everything covered in washing up liquid you haven't done it properly.

No. That helps it drain quickly and without spots. It's all to do with surface tension.

and leaves the plate tasting of fairy liquid...of course you could actually dry the plate after you've washed it.

You could spray it in WD40 instead - that would make sure that it dried quickly and without spots.

Random use of indicators by drivers. Sometimes no signal means they're turning left or right, and often at a roundabout a turning right signal means they're taking the next exit, it's often so bad now you can't even trust those who're doing it properly. Oh, and simultaneous or near simultaneous use of indicator and steering wheel such it's no actual indication

Real niche one here - the Prostate Cancer UK advert that's showing on the rugby all the time. It uses the "What a piece of work is man" speech from Hamlet, but attempts to protray it through judicious cuts as an uplifting speech about the greatness of men, which it is categorically not. For a start, Hamlet is specifically talking about humans when he says man, not the male gender, and secondly he's saying that we have all this potential and are actually pretty shit.

Only quote Shakespeare if you understand it!

As someone who cycles in London this is becoming the bane of my life. Saw someone nearly get mowed down the other week and the drivers justification was the he indicated. He did indicate, after he started changing lanes and regardless of the fact that there was someone already in that space. Why do people find it so hard?

It's getting worse all the time, and one of the reason I didn't replace my car when we lost it to the floods 12 years ago.

Now I only drive 3-4 times a year, and each time it confirms how glad I am that I don't have to drive more
