General Yellows Forums Room 101

[Yellowmania]

Cretins who drive at 35mph on country roads and still manage to brake on every bend.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

You've reminded me:

People.

People that say "can I get" rather than "can I have".

 

[Yellow and blue]

People that say "can I get" rather than "can I have".

Dick heads on scooters,deliveroo bikes,and even more dickheads on their phones with f**k@@g great over ear headphones on just walking straight across the road in a world of their own,absolute moorons.

 

[Cartman]

I could literally write pages and pages haha but some of my main ones:

• People who ride the left lane(I know different in UK as far as this goes haha) which is supposed to be the speed lane but they drive slow as s**t and you cannot pass them
• People who think they are good singers but in reality sound like a one-legged bitch in heat(I am talking about here)
• People who like to preach at me. If you are a hardcore Christian, ok cool, but don't preach to me about how I live and act all superior while doing so
• People that get an attitude when you don't find something interesting that they find interesting. No I do not care to hear how great your stamp collecting is going or the proper way to make an apple pie; apples taste like ass anyway

Etc.

 

[mooro]

Exhaust munching death carriages....

....aka those bloody trailers some people tow behind a push bike with their child in...

In theory this is the most important and valuable thing one will ever possess in your life (the child not the bike) yet these people are happy to deposit them on a plank of wood, under a flimsy plastic cover, at a height which is a blind spot for drivers of many high-fronted vehicles, yet perfectly pitched to inhale all exhaust fumes, all with just a flag the size of a dairylea cheese triangle to attract attention

People.

Plagiarism.

 

[OxfordYankee]

People that say "can I get" rather than "can I have".

People who say “can I have” rather than “may I have”.

 

[OxfordYankee]

I moved from a rural location with few people because my wife and I wanted to be nearer to civilisation. However, what I’ve discovered about civilisation is that I hate everyone who walks near my house, parks near my house, is in the general area of my house or can be heard from my house.

Oh for foresight.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

People who say “can I have” rather than “may I have”.

People who say "may I have" instead of "canst thou bestow upon my person".

 

[OxfordYankee]

People who say "may I have" instead of "canst thou bestow upon my person".

You’re still asking about ability rather than permission, though.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

I hate British people using Americanisms.

 

[Chris on a Bike]

I hate British people using Anericanisms.

I hate illiteracy!

 

[Sarge]

I hate British people using Anericanisms.

American spellings of English words are one of my (many) pet hates

 

[Chris on a Bike]

Journalists who write they have "reached out to" someone for a comment.

 

[m]

People who think ambivalence and apathy are the same thing.

*a**e.

See post about British people using Americanisms!

 

[derek]

Club initiatives that don't quite hit the mark.

Trivial example: listing ten songs by "British" bands for the 10 Minute Takeover and including The Killers .

And while we're on that point, why not include Oxford bands who are actually fans? Candyskins, Ride and Supergrass for a start, Beech Rd stalwarts. I'm sure there's more up to date bands I'm not aware of too.

 

[Oxford84]

People who stand in doorways to have a conversation.

Twats that dont signal on roundabouts .

Twats that dump their fast food rubbish just outside their car door instead of using a bin.

People going 40 mph in a 60 mph road and then still dont like it when you try to overtake them.

To be fair, and I only realised this recently, @Cartman / Goob is an actual American!

People who stop in the middle of the street or middle of supermarkets to have chats.
Mothers with prams prime offenders.

I hate that we live in a society where some people think it's ok to chuck rubbish out of a moving car.

Once had an altercation with a school kid who casually threw a used can of coke into a tree area on the side of the street. Maybe I've got anger issues.

 

[Londox]

Has anyone mentioned single file pub queues yet?

 

[Concretebob]

FoSB and all their little acolytes.

 

[SamLongSlidingTackle]

1) Social media and the narcissistic tendencies it has brought out of people.
2) Plastic bottle tops that are attached to the bottle.
3) 5 day work week.

 

[SamLongSlidingTackle]

I read it's because people (late teens) who lost out during lockdown haven't had the chance to get used to/or have seen the normal bar 'queuing' etiquette.

 

[Essexyellows]

Well amazing, your picture shows that cyclists are using them and not the roads . No issues then. Complaining for the sake of it

Nope the majority of cyclists seem to prefer using the city centre roads despite said paths........... I can`t fathom it as I do a bit of cycling myself (no lycra).

 

[Essexyellows]

May I add............... folk at a till that seem surprised that that is the point at which you pay and start fuffing about trying to find their cash, card or mobile phone, in the latter case keeping people waiting while they open their app or generally mess about.

Be ready to pay!

I work retail can confirm. It’s like a big suprise to them to pack and pay

 

[holdsteady]

People who moan about trivial things.

And this thread, because on yesterday’s drive back to Oxford, for the first time I noticed how many people don’t signal, must think you have to pay a charge every time you use your indicators, not just when they are changing lanes but even when they are in completely the wrong lane at busy, major roundabouts like the Holywell interchange and cutting across cars exiting onto the M4.

 

[mooro]

Continuing the indicating theme...

....the ones that really frustrate me are those that only indicate AFTER they've done the thing they are going to do - most often leaving a motorway or major road, but only indicating once they are on the slip-road....

... this therefore requires awareness that an action is needed and a conscious decision to take that action, but doing so in a totally futile and unhelpful fashion....

I'd just prefer it if they didn't bother - at least then I can just assume they forgot or are too lazy - rather than actively doing something completely pointless

It annoys me far more than it rationally should.

Bars are mostly designed to be wide so we can spread amongst the bar. Giving someone a knowing nod of "you were here first mate go for it" is a viral part of what it means to be British.
