What do you hate???

Being let down when someone promises to help you and then casually says I can’t now, even though it’s been planned for months and it’s now going to cost me an extra £180

No . I’ve widened my drive so I can get all the way around the car to clean it. Ordered 1 ton of hardcore, paving, sand etc. A so called friend that’s a farmer said if I put all the soil in those 1 ton bags he would take it away. It’s been planned for months. I moved 2 bags full into the front garden, he knows I’m doing it, then casually says “I don’t know how your going to get rid of that. I can’t get the trailer until October”. To say I’m ****** is an understatement especially as I spent 3 day recently detailing his BMW

Thanks. All sorted now. Was going to get a skip and move it myself but found a company that came and collected it all for £50. So not as bad as the £180 I was originally quoted

I hate when the driver at the head of the queue at the lights ALWAYS seems to be caught completely by surprise when the lights change. I can virtually HEAR their thought process. It goes something like this :

'Ah. Now the pretty lights just changed colour............... Right, that means I have to do something. Ok I think it means I have to go. Right, how do I do that? Errrr...OK, guess I need a gear to move off then. Perhaps 1st might do it. I'll give it a shot. Right, how do I do that then. Perhaps the clutch? Now, which pedals that then? Nope, not the middle one. Lets try the left one. OK, now pick a gear. Probably 1st if memory serves. OK, got that, but need to use it & some of the other pedals to move I think. The right one makes the car louder so thats one of them. If I use that one along with the clutch thingy, maybe that'll do it. Wayhay! we have movement. I love it when a plan comes together!'

Meantime, two other cars get to go & the light changes again.
Now the next car, with a driver who has the attention span of a goldfish, is now sitting & waiting his/her turn to be completely surprised by the lights changing.

I KNOW you all know what I mean. AGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

And I hate lots more stuff too!

great one , followed closely by the " pull up to the line " sign at traffic lights.
there is a set of lights near me that have a sign, clearly says as above , and what happens when a car is in front of me , they stop 10 feet short of the line.....why, are they afraid of the lights bitting them......and when it does go to green they crawl over at 1 mph and no one else can get over in time....really the mind boggles sometimes...

I think I created a monster!!!!

Now my wife when we first got together was very quiet and never argued with anyone and especially when she was in the right. Just hated confrontation.

Now one of our tenants owes some rent and he has been late paying for about 6 months. Now I think shes been taking notes from me the last couple years as she wasn't happy the rent was £200 short last month. I went to go talk to the tenant to sort it out and she said b0ll0cks to this i'm coming with you as your obviously getting too soft!!!!! So I knocked and told him look this isn't good enough and the bank wants their money and he just fobbed me off. She went mad and told him STOP DRINKING YOUR RENT MONEY AND GIVING THE REST TO YOUR DRUGGIE MATES!!! I want my money!!!! He said I think its time you both leave and he shut the door. Then 10 mins later my phone rang and it was him. She said give me that phone and she gave him more verbal GBH and he said he would pay an extra £40 a month until he's paid it off. Well ****** me money was due today and he paid. Think she's right im getting softer as I am getting older

I had a similar moment the other day, went to the cinema with my girlfriend, ordered tickets from the bloke and received them to completely the wrong movie/time so went back and he goes the one we wanted to watch is now sold out but we can watch it at a later time which we hesitently agreed to. Obviously this wasn't the best scenario and I was happy just taking this plonker's name to the cinema's social media pages but my girlfriend said we need to speak to a manager so she did that and we got our tickets refunded and some free food.

OK. Picture it - you're cruising along, perfectly happy, and the lights change to red whilst you're still a good distance from them.
Right, slow down progressively as you approach, hoping they'll change again before you get to them.
You go slower ........ And slower.....................AND slower. Right down to barely perceptible movement.
Finally come to a complete standstill - AND THE BA%TARD changes the instant you stop!!!!!!

I used to work with a few avid cyclists and they were always complaining about cycle paths being full of gravel, dog S *** , etc etc and if they were adjacent to the main road then all sorts get flung over and that's why they don't use them as far as I am aware .
Me I think they should be made use them regardless ……….

Well just had a screaming row with my neighbor. Good entertainment for everyone else.

Just pulled up on MY DRIVEWAY and some woman on it parked like a Muppet. I said to her nicely who are you visiting and she Reg and he it's ok to park here. I said it's not but just straighten up your car as if my tenant see's you in her space she'll moan at me. So she did.

I'm walking to my door and Reg says from his door what you moaning about!!!! I said your mate needs to park straight so my tenants can park up. He said well Manny in the shop said I could park therr. I told him I'm the landlord and he's the tenant so I can do what I want on my property!!!! Plus it's nothing to do with you so shut your mouth!!!! Then he's saying to me your always moaning. I said let's sort out the problem, why you got the hump with me?? He said because I told him off for doing work in his garden at 7am annoyed him and that I was out of order. I told him NO work by law can start at 8am but I'll tell you what I'll start with a sledgehammer outside your door Monday shall i at 7!!!!

He slammed the door on me and I was fuming. My wife said wtf is going . So I googled it and found I was right. So I went for round 2 and knocked on his door and said to his wife tell that idiot to read this!!! He's then giving it large. I said stop hiding behind your wife and come here and say it to my face you pr!CK!!! Anyway he kept hiding and shouting and I just said naff off you short bald tw@t!!!! Come knock on my door if you're brave or say to sorry. Then walking to my place another neighbor coming home said hello and he could see we just had a row. He thought it was funny. He's been wanting to tell that idiot off for years.

Looks like I'll never get my hands on those Liverpool tickets again

Ive just read you other post about your parking problems as you probably know you're in a really tough situation as you can't do a lot as it's private land therefore no authorities will be willing to help here's a link to the RAC page on private on people parking on private property and how there's nothing you can really do and The Old bill won't do an event over as it's classed as a civil matter as it's trespassing also claming is now legal on private property.

Yeah i've been looking at this over the weekend. Your right not a lot I can do and don't really want to be petty but I think i'll go back to what I used to do when my wife had the shop. I'll just park my car as close as I can to the drivers side to pi55 people off that shouldn't be there. Think only once someone has asked me to move but I refused and said don't park here again. I'll speak to the guy who rents the shop now and ask what has he told this tw@t and from now on d!ckhead can't park on the shop front. If he says sorry I was wrong we can go back to normal and he better throw in some tickets!!!!

Well you can choose your friends but not your family.

Was due to inherit some money earlier this year and I've just heard nothing. Chased my uncle and he has more or less screwed me and my sister out of the money.

To be honest it's not the money that hurts but the fact my dad's only brother did this and I'm shocked. My dad told me before he died you can trust him and he'll never let you down but unfortunately greed has poisoned him.

Even tho my niece and nephew are not related to me by blood I could never do that to them or sleep at night if anything like that happened.

Looks like I need to find a good solicitor
