1. Able-bodied people who get a lift to the first floor. Lazy barstewards. Very often fat, and this is one of the reasons why. You've also slowed down my journey to the 4th floor with your laziness.
2. Slow walkers - particularly those who are slow because they're looking down, tapping away at their phone. Can you not leave that thing alone for 5 minutes while you walk along the street? Sometimes I feel like grabbing it and throwing it on the floor.
3. Cars that are waiting to join a main road... but stick out into it a bit, forcing me to cycle round them (and potentially into traffic). Fookers. Wait until there's a gap.
4. People who send me emails saying they want to "reach out" to me. Are you drowning? If not, fook off.
5. Pedestrians. Especially the ones who can't grasp the concept of a red man. It means don't walk in the road, fookwit.
Pronouns: He/Him/His.
"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."
1 - This becomes worse when you have kids, you go shopping and have to get the lift because you have a buggy and it is full of lazy people who opt to do that over even an escalator! Spending your day waiting to get up to the top floor in Debenhams so she can look at babyclothes.......
2 - Very London, but I agree. If you are going to walk slowly don't take up the whole pavement
3, 4, 5 - Meh
6 - People that park in parent and child spaces without kids, or with old kids - so selfish. Feel like I have to call someone out on this everytime I go to the supermarket
1. People who start a sentence with "I'm often asked". Never happened.
2. People who go to the gym, stand around the weights with other people standing around weights and then sip a protein shake before going for a sauna.
3. People who STILL drive in the middle lane of a motorway. Normally older drivers with hands at 10 to 2 and concentrating hard.
4. People who do not thank you for holding a door open for them.
5. People who put their bag on the seat next to them on the train then huff and puff when you ask if the seats taken.

1. You don't actually know whether they're able-bodied or not - how would, e.g., a cardiac problem or cancer necessarily be manifest? #HiddenDisabilities
3. Sometimes you'd be stuck till Christmas if you didn't push out a bit for a right turn where you're waiting to join a very busy road across 2 heavy streams of traffic. At the same time, I don't expect people to give way immediately, it's where you've been waiting 5 mins+ that's the problem.

re 6 - Where I live there is a retail park which only has about 6 or 8 parent and child spaces. It has loads (over 50) disabled spaces which only about 10-20% are ever used. sometimes a disabled person has parked in the Parent and child space "because it was closer to the shop they were going to than the disabled spaces". They are about 5 spaces further down. I could understand it if the disabled spaces are miles away, or are always taken, but they aren't
Also parent and child spaces are used by parents who have 14+ year old children......as well as people who think just because they have a child seat in their car that counts as them being allowed to park in there. A real annoyance of mine haha
The lift thing is annoying with kids in a pushchair as there isn't any other way up and down. However, the lifts are usually at the back of the shop so people do need to walk further to get to them haha
Regarding driving, I hate drivers who are right up your behind even when its obvious we're in a queue behind a slow vehicle (i.e. a tractor) and its not easy to overtake or the other end of the spectrum where people stop at every roundabout.....!
If this thread was to let off a little steam, you've done that. Thanks OP! haha

6. Had this before, but driving a short wheelbase Landrover with large dog in back, all my food shopping has to go in front passenger footwell & seat, which means bringing trolley up the side there for the heaviest bags. Ordinary spaces just aren't wide enough to do that. I'm reg. disabled , can't lift heavy stuff but don't have a blue badge as can walk over a mile.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
