I am getting p1ssed of with people, its very rare to see some genuine kindness nowadays, I am trying to go the other way to be courteous and less aggressive but it seems the British way is to be as unpleasant as possible

Littering (been done before I know)
Queue Barging
Parking in disabled spots by the able bodied
Inconsiderate parking
Fiddling the state for every available penny
Innapropriate speed (i.e in 30/40 limits)
People who make public loos no go zones (pervs and the plain dirty)
People who let their dogs **** everywhere
Drunken brawling in town centres
Snootiness
Junkies
The Tosser at the gym that hogged the bicep machine for 20 mins talking to a girl, then give me evils when I asked if he was done, grrr, Toni and Guy tossy haired, poncey, weedy, Pop Idol wanabee mummies boy.


Pointless thread but I am in that kind off mood

 

Yep, there is never a flame thrower about when you need one

 

NO flame thrower, dead easy, can of Lynx and a lighter, not quite napalm but enough to teach him the error of his ways.

And of course if you read my thread about the kid in the Corsa that stopped to wind me up you will know about the KP 50G rapid fire protein cannon.

 

did you waste him in his Audi TT on the way home?

 

mmm kp peanuts my fav!

 

Napalm is quite easy to make yourself if you're that way inclined - it's only those polystyrene beads (like from bean bag) disolved into petrol...

 

I agree J4CKO.

Les

 

Lighter and a can of Lynx - I remember getting in trouble at school several times for doing that under the desk in class.

 

Selfish is one thing but this is even worse - came home today and couldn't get down my street cos someone had been shot . I'm thinking: f*ck this for a laugh; my wife-to-be is pregnant and no-brain teenagers are shooting each other on my feckin doorstep. Jesus. Is this the sort of society I want to bring a child into?

Charlie, I can sympathise, not a problem round here and it makes bad parking seem fairly innocent in comparison.

I think its comical all these ********* getting guns, well it would be if they werent lethal.

 

what I can't understand is how any idiot can seemingly get a gun as easy as getting a cigarette lighter. I was talking to a lad who is doing some work for me in the garden - he saw the shooting and was telling me that a while ago he had been stabbed after an altercation. several of his mates offered to get him a gun so he could go back and shoot the prepetrator . luckily he had more sense.

can't anything be done about the amount of guns that seem to be floating about?

 

<<<<<<can't anything be done about the amount of guns that seem to be floating about?>>>>>>


Well, it could, but it would mean the labour party having to grow a backbone first, and THAT ain't never gonna happen:
Alcazar

 

Yeah, and like the Tories will/could/would do anything!! Its the to55y tories in the Lords who are holding up the criminal justice bill!!

I say kill EVERYONE earning less than £25k by the time they are 30, Kill EVERYONE who are snobby gits in big houses who fox-hunt, kill EVERYONE in council houses who have ANY music on after 10pm - I could go on .................. oh, yes, kill those ***** in pick ups asking me if I want my tree cut!! 'We are specialist tree surgeons Sir, fully insured!' .................... yeah, right!! just Fukc off!!!

Totally, totally agree J4cko. Can be small things too. Like the other morning, when it was raining, some arsehole sits right next to me on the train in his dripping wet jacket. He wasn't a youngster by any means, but had obviously been dragged up, not brought up. I gave him daggers, so he said in his gob5hite way "Got a problem mate?" When i suggested removing the jacket and putting it above on the racks "Naaah, don't want to mate, ok?". And a few other exchanges after that.
So what do you do? Get up and deck him, and start an almighty ruck on a train, or ignore it and be thankful you're not that frigging ignorant? Well i did the latter, but it was close. Fekkin selfish heathen. Utter dross. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Lol At Tel, a similar thing happened to me at tower hill.

there i was sitting there on the tube,on a double seat without the armrest, 10am, so pretty sparse on the commuter front.

anyway, the train stops at liverpool street, and the moment the doors opened and i saw this 40 stone weeble, getting in, i just knew he was gonna sit next to me!!

he was not just sitting next to me though, he was fooking spilling out on top of me, and to cap it all he stunk to high heaven.

I was right late for work anyway, by this point, so i thought a bit of rail rage would clear the air.

anyway i asked him politely if he had bought two tickets??

he looked at me a bit weird, then said no.

so i said, politely, well do you mind getting of my seat??

and he said it was not his fault, then i suggested the availability of several double seats within stumbling distance away, in the end i said look mate, you're obviously not that bright, so i'll move!!

you just sit there and get a bit bigger if you like!!!

i know its a bit selfish, but on a reasonable empty train, you expect a small amount of personal space!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr (i cheered myself up thinking he wouldn't live much longer anyway!)

My pet hate is people throwing rubbish out the car windows in broad kin daylight, or emptyin the fagash tray onto the floor. These are the kind of people that make nice areas go bad and whats really bad is that most of the time they dont actually see that they are doing anything wrong.

I have never dropped litter in my life and at 26 i aint gonna start doin it either. My now ex (hip hip hoorey) dropped litter and got in a right strop when i told her how anti social it was and her reply was "it keeps people in jobs" - kin ignorant bitch.

 

tottally agree on the litter point. "Keeps people in jobs" been the excuse since I was a lad, (late 30's) People who could be empoyed doing something constructive to a 'better' enviornment rather than just picking up crap.

The when you say something it's "is that all you've got to worry about"

Well no, there are far worse things going on in the world, but I feel dropping litter is the first of many ways in which young people start on the road to anti-social behaviour.

 

Have to agree with the litter thing. In particular people who dump the contents of their car ashtrays out of the window into the street.

One thing I've noticed since I've moved up here is that people seem happy to drop litter in the middle of the countryside, miles from anywhere. It's astonishing. I mean, whilst I don't condone or agree with it, I can understand the mentality of somebody not retrieving dropped litter in London or other large cities, 'cos a) they have paid cleaners, and b) they're usually sh1tholes anyway. Doesn't make it right, but I can understand why they might not think about it.

But when you're in the middle of a forest or open moorland, miles from anywhere, how on earth can you just chuck plastic bottles on the floor without so much as a second thought?

 

I actually agree that it's the small things like littering and deliberate rudeness that lead to people shooting each other. In my street there's a couple of old biddys who sweep the pavement outside their house. I've started to do mine as well. It's my way of saying that I care about the environment that I live in, albeit in a small way.

There's a commercial premises down the road who ordered a load of sand for some reason. It came in one of those huge canvas bags. They used about half of it and then just left the rest lying in the street. A few months later another one turned up. This was also half used and then abandoned on the street . People now park their cars on top of it.

One of the jobs that our company does is pick up litter from the railway tracks at train stations. Every time I go to one of the stations that our lads clean, and see how litter-free it is, I get a little glow of satisfaction . Sad, I know!

Charlie.

 

For those people who receive "It keeps people in jobs", don't forget to reply "So I can support dentists by punching your teeth out, is that OK?"

 

All you can do at the end of the day is just do your bit and hope that its anexample to someone somewhere.
The old ppicking up litter when you see someone drop it and giving it back to them with the words "excuse me, I think you dropped this" always has an effect.

 

This litter campaign is commendable!!

One thing that I am finding particularly annoying these days is parking. more so when people park on yellows, on the pavement, outside of shops etc *oh, ill only be a second* meanwhile they have blocked the pavement for other users, so in a worst case scenario, the disabled person or the old person or the young child may have to walk out into the road to pass, small thing, maybe but it really gets my goat

 

Nice to see its not just me who is getting pi55ed off with how thigs are getting, we are seriously considering moving to Canada where if we sell out house we can get a 6 bed, 3 bath ,triple garage monster with 30 acres and be in a place where there arent enough people to screw it up for the rest !

 

totally agree Jacko - the thing that gets me is people who put their (usually McDonalds) rubbish on top of a bin or drop it right in front of it!!. FFS - it's not exactly hard to put in IN the bin !!!

Or maybe their parents didn't give them those kiddie toys which taught you shapes etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Altrincham retail park they just drop it out of the window, the world id full of turd that need education or extermination, its their choice.

 

Have just made it home from 2 weeks away. Whats the first thing I notice??? LITTER everywhere. That and a load of idiots working at Heathrow tube station..... no wonder they seem to be having a drug problem!!

 

Jacko - you're certainly not alone - I have a similar list!

 

Ditto
And it gets longer every year

and a list for the service industry in this country.

 

Have to agree with you there, there is one tit down our road who insists on parking half on the road - half on the footpath - what he fails to realise is that the bushes in his garden are so overgrown, it's impossible to still use footpath, so you have to detour out into the road. I mentioned it to him one day and he said he had to park like that, to allow neighbour opposite enough turning room to get ito his drive and also why didn't I use the footpath on the other side of the road. I replied with ' Shame if your car gets scratched then with people trying to squeeze past'

 

Parents who smoke in confined areas with their kids/babies present - now there's one of the ultimate acts of selfishness. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
