[nigeninja]

Here's my pet hates at the mo,the ***** cat dolls new single,instead of singing I want to be with YOU they sing want to be with CHEW,why cant they say YOU it rhymes just as we[:@]ll

Oh and being a white goods engineer I get offered loads of cups of tea,so its "do you take sugar, no, oh sweet enough then, you know and they say it like I've never heard it before , no just 20 million times before[:@]

 

[MonkeyFooty11]

My dad used to sell white goods so he got;

"... I've already got a dishwasher.....My husband!!!"

more times than he could bare.

I hate i when the manufacturers of egg mayonaise sarnies don't bother to tell you they put cress in it too

I'd like to buy them a beer one day, then tell them what else I put in it []

 

And when supermarkets only sell the diet/slimline/tasteless version of anything [:@]

[quattrokid]

Tv ad's for car insurance always state, "Try ********** for your motor insurance we COULD save you £££'s..."

 

always could, or may or might or, never actually gaurantee to, oh ****** it, !

[Matt2000]

i like pets []. i don't like that song either

[Stefan(2)]

Owwww, so many!

1) Caravan's

2) Horse trailers

3) 45km/u "invalid" cars on a 80km/u road

4) belgium/france drugs buyers (quite a pest around here)

 

I don't like the song, but... , when watching that video clip... i get over that quite quick []

[theshopkeeper]

Have watched the video (http://www.bestvideocodes.net/bvcasx/*****...s-stickwitu.asx) still irritating though.

Almost as irritating as their last song (the answer to their question seemed to be "rather not, thanks!").

----

Pet hate, discussed at length with Twinset before in the forums as I remember - Creamy Mayo in sandwiches by every shop going - I HATE CREAMY MAYO.  (And M&S  don't like "cool yoghurt"  in "No Mayo" sandwiches).  I'll starting a new sandwich range - "Fat B*****D", has to include butter, proper cheese and have no less than 600 calories a round!

[MikeT]

Andy, i gotta agree with you, fat free should also be called taste free...

theshopkeeper: Hahaha, i'd buy " The Fat B*****d " Sounds nice!

Pet hates.... I'll go with Chavs.

[steviedee]

i personally hate people who are "tommy toppits" as in when you get chatting whatever you've got or done they have always been faster got better and think they know way more than anyone else in the universe. as in if i got a fast car, his is faster and better. it makes you wanna run up to them and slapp em with a big plank ;-)

also hate supermarkets especially on weekends the people who think they firkin own the store.....grrrrrrr i feel the trolley rage grippin me right now. next timei go shopping i'm takin mi grinder, let see em take the whole of the aisle when there trollery is a tangle mess of grinded metal []

[nzl60]

I have to agree with 'tommy toppits' I hate them with a vengance however not quite as much as those b***dy electronic phone messages that call your home line and say 'Congratulations you have won 20billion airpoints if you sign your life away with us'. Closely followed by 'Is the 'bill payer there...' by a real person. I have snapped and abused these people (even though its not their fault they have a horrific job...no wait...technically it is, anyway I digress) more often than I care to imagine and no matter how often you ask to be taken off their list you get called the next day without fail.

We would get 5  or 6 of these calls every week.

Ba$tards[8o|], they always get me away from something that is much more omportant like my RC's []

Chavs are a neverending source of amusement, I actually dont mind them because they are so ridiculous...though if I ever actually talked to one that opinion might change [li]

[jozza]

Mmmm, Fat B****d sandwiches sound nice. I'd love to see that range in Tesco []

 

My pet hates that I can think of:-

Apostrophe's used in the wrong place's. That really bug's me.

People who can fire up their nitro car with one pull on the pullstart, then run it all day without any problems. Whilst I am struggling to get my Savage running for more than 20 seconds before it stalls!

Small cars (1:1) taking big parking spaces.

People parking on double yellow lines at the top of my road so pedestrians and drivers are blind at a dangerous junction. Surely they could manage to park a little further along the road and take a 20 pace walk to buy their smokes?

Drivers slamming the brakes on and slowing to 20mph when they see a speed camera in a 30mph zone.

People who popup a message in Messenger the second I go online. And then say nothing more. I often get a whole load of messages saying "morning" or "hiya" when I login, have to clear them all before I can do any work (well, TC browsing anyway [])

There are probably a load of others, but those are what I can think of without really thinking about it..

[Tinno]

Old ladies (and men) who, when you are just walking along behind them, just stop, in the middle of the pavement, for no apparent reason, not going anywhere... they just stop.

And... come to think of it.  mothers (and fathers) with small kids, and / or pushchairs who think they own the pavement, take up the entire path and proceed at a snails pace, and never in a straight line Jeeesh!!!.  They always come out on a saturday, mid morning, when the town it really busy, and the streest are packed.

By the way. I have two kids, and I have got so hacked of with other people doing this to me, I now make a point of doing this to other people.. If you can't beat em [] Join em.

So if you are in Guildford, on a saturday morning, and you see a blake with two small kids, wandering aimlessly up and down the high streed and north street, stopping randomly, and generally getting in the way.  Have a bit of a chuckle to yourself, and say "Hi Alex". its probably me. (its an added bonus if the kids are screaming and crying and you have to drag them around the town, in the rain.)

 

[quincey]

old people who drive big fast cars at 29.99mph who speed up to 80+mph when they see you trying to overtake them?.

kids rideing bikes at night with no lights?

people who let there dogs cr%p every where in the the park then dont bother to pick it up?

kids who see you running a model car and ask the old fravorite's"how fast is that?" "ive got one of them at home and it does 50mph!" "nitros are better!" "that ones the best as its the fastest!"

chavs with there halfords ramraid special's(usually a renault clio 1.2l with 22" rims rubberband tyres painted rear drums sparco sholder pads on std seat belts stereo thats so loud you can hear it 50 miles away and an exhuast so big you could lose your dog up it) who think there car it better than what you've got(then you blow them away in your std run'o'the mill work donkey!

and my biggest pet hate is..

idiots who drive 3" off the rear bumper of you car while they talk to some cretin on their mobile,overtake at the last second,then just after the've got past you indicate to turn right in busy traffic causing you and everybody esle to stop!(they should be dragged from their cars and shot!

I'll look out for you Alex!

My main pet hate is also the plonkers (AKA Barry Boys to my family) that do up their useless cars, completely cosmetically. But underneat the bonet, it'll be the bog standard Nova engine.

One of my other pet hates is people either creeping forward slowly over the line at red traffic lights, or the very millisecond they turn amber, they're off, sometimes they go before the light has gone to amber!

It especially annoys me when lads do up things like Mercs! Fine, do any car, but NOT A MERC!

 

[rajicon]

Big exhausts on an automatic car, (not really a hate, but it does irritate me to think about why, why **** you?)

-Usually they are too big anyway, some actually are worse for

performance on a car that doesnt need it. Just robs it of low end

torque.

I get this all the time but I have now come up with a nice answer for them - mine is smaller, mine is cheaper, mine is more efficient.

I had this not long ago after I had to hand back my old Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck at the end of its lease. We then purchased a new truck but as we were on a tight budget we could only afford a Mazda B2500. Anyway when I get the usual comments about how it isn't as good as my old L200 I just point out it was £7k cheaper, is more fuel efficient and can do all the same things as the L200 and that shuts them up.

Same with our TV, we have a tiny lounge in our old cottage and when our TV packed up recently we just bought a cheap 20" flat panel from Tesco's, it works and it is plenty big enough for our room. Anyone that comes along and says how small it is compared to their 40"+ widescreen I just point out that ours uses half the electric than theirs.

It has really started to bug people now and they have stopped their one upmanship as my onedownmanship kills their arguments.

Here is a few favourites:

'We've got the 3litre V6 L200 which is really quick' - my reply='I've got the cheaper 2.5 diesel which gets twice the fuel economy, tows twice as much and doesn't break down when it's wet'

'We've got a new top of the range 8 burner gas/eletric range cooker that cost us £3000 which is far superior than your old stove' - my reply='We've got a 30 year old coal burning Aga from ebay which cost £750 which provides 24/7 hot water, cooking and heating. The coal costs half that of gas and we have the coal in our coal bunker so it can't be turned off, cut off or price hiked and it still works in a power cut.'

and my personal all time favourite:

'My new Clio has a higher crash safety rating than your old Land Rover' - my reply='Lets go outside now and drive head on into each other and we'll see who wins.....'

Here's another one; Manufacturers that change perfectly good recipes without even telling you on the packaging - M&S have changed their Beetroot in sweet vinegar - only it aint so sweet!

Tastes exactly like all the others now [:@]

Here's what they had to say for 'emselves;

 

Dear Mr Moore,

I am so sorry you've been disappointed with the beetroot that you have

bought from us recently. It was good of you to let us know. Thank you.

As you can imagine, we take the quality of our food products extremely

seriously at Marks & Spencer to try and make them as tasty as possible.

We agree very specific quality controls with our suppliers and we follow

up with regular visits to be sure that everything is up to standard.

I am sorry you feel the quality has dipped recently. We have changed the

recipe slightly, thinking it would improve the taste. However, after a

couple of comments made by customers, our business unit are reviewing

the current status of the product to see how they can improve it

further, This may result in a further change, or taking the recipe back

to its original status.

I have passed your comments on so that they are aware of your thoughts

too. I know that if demand for the old recipe is high, they will be

reviewing the possibility of bringing back the old style.

Kind regards,

No mention of a refund though []

My sister wrote to McCains about their microwave chips - she only got about 13 in a packet. I'll try and find the email and reply as it was quite funny! I'll post it later.
