The other one I don't understand is at airports when the gate opens right opposite the bar or where there are hundreds of comfy seats, why everyone gets up and rushes to get into the queue when they all have allocated seats anyway. So they stand queuing (edged right up close to each other and virtually next to each other :-) ) for ages just to be the first to take their seat in cramped conditions whilst we enjoy our drink in the comfort of the bar until the last few passengers in the queue go through, walk freely on to the plane and spend 30 mins less in cramped seating conditions.

oh well each to their own

Never understood this either!

Also, I don't get how it can people can spend so much time blocking up the aisle on a plane. There's only a certain amount of time you can spend putting something in the overhead storage!

Heathrow do it by class type first, saves a lot of the hassle.

and while we are on the subject,we go to Turkey every year and the legroom is non existent and 4.5 hours gets a bit uncomfortable so it really bugs me when the food comes around, you pop it on your tray and the 5' 2" ignorant  b**tard in front reclines their seat giving them negligible extra benefit but stuffs you up completely. The missus spent the whole flight back last year with her feet pushed against the woman in front to force her reclined seat back  lol

Bus and tube strikes.

There have been about 7 in the past two years in London. There are 3 bus strikes due within the next 2 weeks, ****ing joke decision by egotistical arrogant union twats trying to be the next Bob Crow.

Couldn't agree more. If they don't want to work a shit job for shit pay they should have tried harder in school. Tube drivers already get paid way too much and bus drivers in London are mostly miserable malicious *****.

The whole concept of reclining seats which impinge on the space of the poor passenger behind is nuts.

Either have everyone lying down (I've often thought that on long haul flights they should put us in a tube and gas us unconscious) or no one.

Reclining seats on planes must cause more passive aggressive rage than is healthy for the world.

Going to be controversial now but

 

1] OAPs who CHOOSE to go shopping of an evening / weekend when it's already packed, more inconvenient for them in any case, and they struggle around holding everyone up. Why not go in the day when we are all at work, and the shops and the buses etc aren't packed. Saying that I have shopping home delivered these days but when I'm old, I'll surely be making the most of shopping off peak for my sake and everyone else.

 

2] perfectly able people who take ages filling their bags at the checkout, and have to put every last item into a bag with military precision and then the trolley before rooting through their bag for ages to find their purse, asking 3 times how much, despite it being on a screen right in front of them, getting 22 vouchers out, and fiddling through their change to get the exact amount before realising they don't have it and just handing over a load of notes anyway. Then upon getting change, take ages to put it back into purse and then purse into bag whilst the rest of the queue eagerly waits with false smiles and murderous thoughts :-)

 

3] And finally, people in a queue behind you who think that by edging right up close to you so they are literally touching you will get them served quicker.

 

Cool - feel better now :-)

 

lol - I like that Jack Dee sketch where if the person behind you in the queue is annoying: 'Y'know that baton with 'next customer' written on it? I pick it up and say, "see that, that's you and I'd like you to wait *throws baton back into supermarket aisles* over there."

If you only have hand luggage like me a business trip, and a taxi waiting at the other end, you want to make sure you don't get your bag put in the hold on a busy flight.

Women are secretly all sick bastards. Two films that women go mad for are Fifty Shades of Grey, which is about a rapist stalker, and Dirty Dancing, which is about a paedophile who abuses young girls at a holiday camp.

Other ladies favourite films:

Pretty Woman - Emotionally frozen businessman uses sex worker

Titanic - Rich strumpet cheats on her fiancee with low life who snuffs it.

Thelma & Louise - Cougars dispense lynch mob justice

Women are sick.

Footballers wives/girlfriends on Twitter. In the past week I've saw Albrightons Mrs tweet celebratory stuff that Pearson has been sacked. Yesterday you've got Vardy's Mrs tweeting "clueless" Schlupps Mrs just argues with anyone on there.

Now they've got a right to an opinion but surely it doesn't help putting it on a social media for everyone to see. I certainly wouldn't want my girlfriend writing stuff about my manager at work for everyone to see.
