Re: Little things that irritate you
It's usually the opposite that I see. No cars coming for a mile in both directions but people lacking the ability to be adventurous and cross until the little green man appears. I just cross and I can tell by their eyes that they want to do the same but the little red man has some kind of power over them. Little beads of perspiration break out on their forehead as they try so hard to break the spell and make a move forward. They can't do it though. Eventually the green man appears and I hear a collective sigh of relief from somewhere behind as the containment spell is broken and tension is released.Kludgehammer wrote: Waiting at (more) traffic lights, red my way. A huddle of pedestrians waits at the kerb. Lights remain red for ages, no traffic on any of the other roads of the crossing; pedestrians don't move. The instant the light turns green, some fucktard will lurch out in front of the traffic, choosing the only moment when it is dangerous to cross, as the perfect time to cross.

Re: Little things that irritate you
In fairness, I was on my bike and I thought those 2 cyclists were both bellends. Riding like dickheads makes it harder for the majority of us who are (mostly) sensible - pisses other road-users off and causes accidentsJohnny Byrne's Boots wrote:Different form of chosen transport:- bellend

Re: Little things that irritate you
If it's a single click then it's usually the starter/solonoid - if it's a rapid clicking then that'll be the battery. It is on motorbikes and I've had both go on mine.r99c wrote:Setting off to work this morning, turning my key and just getting a constant recurring clicking sound :shock: Battery?

Spending the last day of your holiday chasing around Piraeus because some twot has 'dipped' your wifes bag and ****ed of with her purse and it's contents. Then getting to the police station and finding others worse off who's passports had been lifted.

Re: Little things that irritate you
Cheers, figured it ought to be the battery because surely if the starter motor was knackered there wouldn't be continuous clicking.

politicians using non-political things to make a point. Case in point, Corbyn congratulating the England cricketers yesterday on twitter but then finishing off by having a moan about it not being shown on free-to-air tv

Re: Little things that irritate you
Lorries on the A14 just swinging out and spending about 5 mins overtaking each other, particularly in the zone where it is banned. I get when you’re driving for days that the 0.1mph makes a difference but I saw about 5 near misses today alone between Cambridge and the M6.
Re: Little things that irritate you
The North America region and doing fixtures the wrong way round
West Ham vs Chelsea is West Ham at Chelsea so away not home
I bet loads of tourists over there book tickets to away games thinking it's a home game

Avocados that have the consistency of rubber when opened but feel like they are ripe beforehand.
