[Archived] RANT

[Mike E]

Corrected for you Mike.

Indeed drog haha. That's when my hi-viz comes in handy. Someone litters in the street and you shout at them in a hi-viz, they pick it back up about half the time.

Nice to see psychology theories of obedience still work

Not so much a rant but something I don't get, people around here wave at cars stopping at red lights as if to thank them. Why? It's the law. You might as well thank somebody every time they don't punch you in the face as they walk past.

Zebra crossings I can allow for, but red lights? Don't understand that.

Oh dear. Upset by people thanking their fellow human beings. Manners and courtesy are a dying art, I'm afraid. Please don't discourage those who do still have a bit of good will in them.

I'm not really upset, it's just weird. Do you thank people for stopping at red lights?

Subs who arent ready to come on when the manager asks them. They look around for their shirt (why this isnt on, god knows). Then they start taking chains etc off...WTF, why would you wear jewelery when your on the subs bench

Have a word with Rochina. He had to take his earrings out before coming on Saturday!!

If thats true then thats pathetic.

Well it certainly looked as though that was what he was doing. We sit about 15 feet from the dugout.

Might as well if they are just temporary ones cos I understand they are only advisory and not enforceable. Permanent ones are a different matter.

In that case have a word with the manager! He should jump on them for that..... all subs should leave jewellery and phones in the dressing room ......... unless they play for Stoke City.

To be fair most people these days seem to think amber means accelerate and Red means put the pedal to the floor. I can see why they say thanks when one actually does as it's supposed too.

Depends if they eyeball me I suppose. Probably not but if I was the driver and someone thanked me, I wouldn't necessarily be @#/? off about it.

[DE.]

They're permanent red lights Gord.

As I said I understand temporary lights or zebra crossing because they are plenty of tossers who completely ignore those... but even the drivers often look confused I haven't seen it happen anywhere other than here either. A simple folk living in simple times, I guess.

[Mike E]

People who say 'Oh never mind!' if you mishear them for the 3rd time. Ignorant @#/?.

[Tom]

I'm one of those people I must admit

It doesn't help that I mumble though

Mumblers are also terrible sorts

[gumboots]

Must be very frustrating Michael but then they probably don't realise you're deaf, and if someone with full hearing does that to you then it's usually a sign they are not listening and therefore people get fed up.

Cretins who applaud when the plane lands

Hahahaha so so true

That fanfare that Ryanair play....ugh. Must admit it was nice to have a northern sounding pilot on a recent Jet2 flight better than posh and pretentious pillocks who probably bang the stewardesses.

Gb: It's quite often people who don't know but I still find it incredibly rude. Even when it happens to others it infuriates me, but it may just be my bias getting in the way.

Tom: Y'what?

Not so much a rant, but I can never get my head round those Essex/Chelsea programmes. Are they scripted, with actors? Are they dim members of the public made to act out scenes based on their lives, or are all the relationships, arguments etc. written for them? From the adverts they show it all seems very stilted and odd.

I can't get my head around the popularity of the shows, let alone how they're constructed. The only real explanation is that the vast majority of people in the UK are @#/? stupid. I try not to judge, but come on...

[Guest Norbert]

Well there is that too. Harry Hill's TV burp is the only show I liked on ITV. ITV 2 is rubbish, and ITV 3 is endless repeats of Midsomer Murders and Poirot.

People who refer to a person's age as a way to try to win an argument like Stuart did to Jim on the "Hang em high" thread. Pathetic.

Stay out of this, old man!

Thanks for the backing. Us oldies have to stick together.

Add to that ageism in all its forms. The BBC in particular is guilty of this with regard to female presenters.

Supermarkets. I don't like what they do to my wife. She's normally a sensible person but put her in a supermarket and she goes in to a sort of hypnotic trance and starts buying stuff we don't need. For example, we have a cupboard in the kitchen that's full of every type of cleaning product imaginable - for floors, baths & sinks, toilets, leather, glass, wooden floors, ovens, kettles, computers, gadgets(?). We've got more than one of some cleaners. Some get used but some have never been opened. Now, if I'm pushing the trolley and we've been in the supermarket for a fair time, I go and check out without her knowing. When she discovers me sitting down near the checkout she gets annoyed but at least I've saved some money, although she's often then willing to pay for her latest cleaning product herself, which we've then got to find room for in a bulging cupboard.

Noted but I prefer the younger female presenters myself.

No you stay out of it southern non attender.
