My wife says I moan a lot, and she's probably right! But, as I tend to hate most things human, that's not a surprise. So, I thought, I can have my own moaning slot here instead! :)
Today's moan is - Lifts!
Why do people press both the up and down button when they want to go up or down? They stand there for ages, tutting and cursing that the lift is too far away and then, when they do finally jump in, they tut and curse again because it's going the wrong way! To put the cherry on it, they get off on the floor above or below the one they caught the lift on! My message to these people is USE THE SODDIN' STAIRS!
Then, you get your nutters. They get in the lift and pace, hum, gibber, slobber and/or shake in a nutty manner. I feel like saying DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING SNAP! or OH, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! but instead I just hope they're going to get out on the next floor. My favourite is when the lights go out in the lift and it turns into a free Alton Towers ride, complete with people freaking out and/or being sick. Why, why, WHY?!!!
OK, I feel better now. Anyone else here get miffed with lifts?
-
I hardly ever use lifts so I can't say I've experienced any of those things. There are very few high rise buildings in Peterborough.
-
Exactly, bunch of 'tards.
I could moan about shopping and how inconsiderate tossers just stop in their tracks to gawp at some pile of useless over priced junk in a shop window without even considering the most fundamental of highway uses, look behind you.
The another annoyance is the "Family" shopping trip where they all line up taking up all the space leaving no room for you to pass. Even when they are aware of you, they make no effort to allow you to pass, utter ignorance.
Other people that annoy me are people who expect me to get out of the way when I am wheeling a push chair that often loaded down with shopping, not that bloody thing goes in a straight line and is impossible to manouver, these t**ts expect me to move out of their way when it is far easier and more quicker to have them go around me. Simple road users highway code... KEEP LEFT YOU MORONS.
@dt, you got any more rant material?
-
Oh, yes, more rant material on the way soon!
-
I can't abide people who park on the pavement. As a non-driver, I do a lot of walking and can't believe the ignorance of some people who think it's ok to park in any place, regardless of the consequences to other people. The other thing I hate is drivers who park alonside dropped kerbs, making it difficult with people pushing wheelchairs or pushchairs to get off the pavement.
This morning I have been into town to do some shopping and order some flowers for a funeral. There is a street along the bus route into the town centre that has double yellow lines along its length so that buses can pass each other. That doesn't stop lazy-arsed people parking 'just for a few seconds to use the cash machine/pay in some money/pick my grandmother up'. I was held up for a copnsiderable amount of time whilst in town because of people parking where they shouldn't and causing danger and disruption to other people. There are ample amounts of parking space but these people are just too lazy to walk a few yards and too mean to pay a few quid to park responsibly.
-
Its those bloody people who come on websites with nothing to do with their gripes and start foistering their whines upon us like we gave a shit.
-
Exactly paul. I had a bloody good whinge about the americans and how they were trying to extort money from me. Well I kicked up a right political storm in a tea cup over that.
Not about to write a blow by blow account but we were legally correct, the americans were interfering in the "democratic" process by blackholing our severs. I still as yet had no apology from either the Baracuda Central networks or sister company Emailreg.org or the American government. Bunch of pig headed arrogant tossers.
If the shoe was on the other foot, I am pretty damn sure I would have been railroaded like Gary McKinnon is currently being. Anyway, I kicked yankie ass, saved myself $20 and made allot of political noise about it and hope to hear our objections tabled in the house soon. Try and put a stop to these amrican companys scamming UK citizens.
It really is a cheap scam to pull on people, forcing them to cough up $20 to email a government department in the UK... FFS.
Barracuda Central have basically installed themselves as the "Authority" and "Police" of email and internet. Sorry, they are a "Private Business" who are breaking the law in what they are doing, we have proved this and hope some good will come of this for UK citizens.
-
My moan today is unfit fatties wearing gym attire.
I've worked it out. People wear tracksuits because they don't need ironing. The ugliest thing I see when shopping is people who have no intention of ever exercising wearing trainers and clothes that are really only made for the gym.
-
Like the Chav over the road from me. She walks around in Gym kit, never seen a Gym in her life, just a fashion thing I suppose.
Yep, she is 100% genuine uncut chav alright.
-
Does she wear those huge creole earrings from Argos?
-
Don't you know it, the sort that looks like those "Towel Rings" from the 70's.
To give you the full picture, Blond hair, flat as a bread board, Speed freak thin, wears skin tight chav gear, loopy chav ear rings, sports gear, croydon face lift... When she wears skimpy bra tops, she looks like a walking xylophone... *shudders* I am not saying anymore because I don't want putting off my dinner.
enuff to complete the image?
-
there's one on every estate with a gob on it the size of a house.
-
Always got a fag (Cigarette to our american visitors) on too.
-
Is she one of those multitaskers who can push a pram, eat a sausage roll, talk on the phone and walk the staffordshire bull terrrier/pit bull all together?
-
Yup, they got a Boxer and I'M sure they call it Tyson.
Oh yeah, they even have the beaten old ford transit too..
-
This whinge of the week has turned into cringe of the week.
-
Well lets face it, Chav mums are always on topic for a slaggin off.
Chavs make Pikies look like god fearing hard working honest folk...
-
Yup, they got a Boxer and I'M sure they call it Tyson.
Oh yeah, they even have the beaten old ford transit too..
I know someone who is uncomfortably close to my brother who has two children, one called Tyreese (female) and the other Tyler (male). Both of the children have ear piercings (they are 4 and 18 months respectively) and their lifestyle is indescribable. I am afraid they really bring out the snob in me.
-
Her kids names... do you see a pattern?
Oldest kid == Tyrone
Middle kid == Tyler
youngest == Tyree
The dog == Tyson
-
Christ, I never intended for this! Looks like I opened a can of worms. Now, for a proper whinge - property shows featuring rich tossers with nothing better to do!
You've seen the shows on the TV, where a couple of rich idiots want to buy their seventh house, either here or abroad, and they need the help of a 'property expert' to show them a few des res's. Oh, and they need it to be televised! Why? I couldn't give a toss! I can just about afford dinner for a month, and the last thing I want to see are these smarmy, smug gits flashing the cash whilst 'umming' and 'ahhing' over various mansions and/or villas. Who is it that WANTS to watch this crap? Do they spend an hour pawing the TV and the rest of the time depressed?
I have an idea. Before the get to visit such palacial paradises, I get to set man-traps, explosives and stuff. Maybe get in a few nutters with weapons to liven things up. Now that's what I call entertainment!
Who's with me?
-
Well when I watch these shows I often see people touring a foreign country for a week looking at villas with pools then at the end they never commit. It is always "We need to go home and discuss with the children."
-
Yup, shows like that are made for people who already have and for those that aspire to be that far up the "Property Ladder"
I can not get over the philosophy that :-
.: a car
.: your house
.: where you live
.: what job you do
.: how much you earn
- is a status symbol, a measure of how far up the snob scale they are.
Utter bollox.
-
I think we should return to the class system and keep the oiks in their place.
-
I second that.
-
I think we should return to the class system and keep the oiks in their place.
What do you mean 'return to the class system'? It never went away. The government just want you to think we live in a classless society as to confuse everyone as to their place in society.
-
@DR T... Exactly, we all live in a state of discombobulation.
-
OK, new week, new whinge! Today - old people!
What is it about elderly folk? They moan and moan about various bodily parts not working and the price of <insert consumable here> today, but watch them when they're off to the bookies/pub! They'll knock you out the bloody way!
Then, they moan about younger kids having no manners! Oi, 'stones' and 'glass houses', grandad! They spit, throw their litter on the floor and push their way past you in the shops. You open the door for them and they just walk past, no thanks, no nothing!
I think they're at their worst in a checkout queue. The number of times I've been nudged up the aisle by a moaning, disgruntled geriatric is countless. Their main weapon of choice is a shopping trolley, which they use as a battering ram. It's like they want to keep up with their food whilst it's going along the conveyor. Like I'm going to nick it!
Anyone else hate any of this?
-
Well where I live you have to guard your shopping on the conveyor because they are right cheeky b'stards, if they see something you have and your not looking and they want it coz they forgot to get it off the shelf, they will nick it and put it in their shopping.
What's more, the cashiers say Eff all.
This is not only restricted to your conveyor shopping but also your basket or trolley. I can see the day soon when shopping trolleys will come with covers to stop pilfering out the basket, mainly because people are such lazy so 'n so's that they think that they are being clever.
I have caught two people to date that have tried to pull this stunt on me and in both cases they have ended up red faced over the issue.
-
Elderly folk are ok as long as you don't get the one who pi**ed themselves sitting next to you on the bus.
-
You should work the hospital I do. You get used to various smells, especially in the passenger lifts, of all places!

Nothing like sharing your thoughts with your fellow passengers...
Ask the cook to cut down on the Egg Custards, Figs and Prunes, it may help.

Have you been ok since you got those incontinence pants?

Two of the Queen Mother's corgis were sitting side by side talking about her sad death.
"I'll miss the old girl though, won't you?" one asked the other.
"Yea, I'll miss her, but at least we'll stop getting the blame for pissing on the sofa".
-
OK, what can I rant on about today? How about reality TV shows!
Who watches this stuff anyway? I remember back in the Dark Ages when Big Brother first hit the screens. I watched it out of curiosity and thought that, as a social experiment, it was quite good. I never realised they were going to inflict it on us yearly, tacking on a 'celebrity' version! Anyway, it opened the floodgates for all kinds of reality nonsense.
The only reason people watch this stuff is just in case someone 'accidently' gets their norks out, surely? Who watches in the mornings when the cameras give us hours of people sleeping! Yeah, that's entertainment!
I'm definitely down for a Battle Royale or a Running Man type of show! Hell, give me the heavy weapons and I'll hunt 'em down myself!
-
I agree, I watched about 3 episodes when it first came out, out of curiosity too but quickly saw it for the pile of that it is.
None of these reality shows are "Reality" because the cameras are present.
WTF is that one about islands about? I pray for a Tsunami to over run them, soon put a stop to that bloody nonsense.
Fishwife TV I call it.
-
WTF is that one about islands about? I pray for a Tsunami to over run them, soon put a stop to that bloody nonsense.
Is that Shipwrecked? My wife got addicted to that, but because it was so unbelieveably over the top and it has, er, buff guys in it.
-
I have not got a clue, how many of them are on the island or how many are like that program?
What gets me is they all have one thing in common, NOTHING INTRESTING TO TALK ABOUt, you can take whatever comes out of their mouths as utter bull.
I find taliking to a brickwall more stimulationg than watching some brain sucking drivvel on TV. This is one of the reasons why I download programs I want to watch off the internet. Then I get to watch what I want, when I want and as often as I want and I do not have to put up with crap like "Reality" shows.
-
I really enjoyed the show where they put a group of carefully chosen people on that Island off the Scottish Coast and encouraged them to form a community. It was a year-long experiment and Bruce Fogle was one of the contestants. I thought it was very interesting.
I also quite enjoy Wife Swap but I don't like Big Brother or I'm a Celeb type shows.
-
I like Wife Swap but not he USA version.
-
Next we will be seeing a reality show for swingers.
-
There's been several documentaries on them.
-
why are all swingers so hideous, and generally very old? you never see a good looking, young swinging couple.
-
They always have orange tans and kaftans.
-
@wjp666 - they do exist.
My Ex's friend went that way, on the swing route.
I have never seen the appeal of swapping partners like collectors cards. Sort of makes my skin creep. Fortunately I have never seen her friend and my Ex broke off her friendship after she invited my Ex and me to "A party" meaning a swing party.
IMHO swingers are not right in the head. Sorry to any swingers who may exist here but thats my Humble Opinion and I am sticking to it.
-
I've always wondered how swingers love each other. Shouldn't we be discussing this in the 'other' forum?
-
Schhhhhhhwing!
-
why are all swingers so hideous, and generally very old? you never see a good looking, young swinging couple.
Why shouldn't hideous old people enjoy a varied sex life? They can't help being what they are.
-
Tonight on channel 4: Swingers who are mingers.
followed by
My husband's dead but at least he's hard now.
-
Followed by "Roger in the bush", a nature program about African wildlife.
-
Those who protest about something too much are usually the ones that want to try it.
-
No, really, Swingers are a bit grim.
Funny thing is, in all my relationships, I have stood by my woman through thick and thin and even put up wit a violent abusive partner but the first sign of Mr Money bags, there off like a shot... The whole idea of swapping partners really makes my skin creep.
-
Are you saying you were a battered husband? That's bad.
-
In my one relationship, yeah.
-
It's good to hear a bloke actually admitting it. Some women use horrible psychological means to belittle their husbands. I've only ever been in one relationship where it was like that, but I got out of it, thankfully.
-
So often we hear of men being abusive to women but i bet it really isn't that uncommon for a woman to be abusive in the relationship. All abusers should be kicked to the kerb and have wife/husband batterer tattooed on their foreheads.
-
Smack me, Lou!
-
Today's whinge is about people who moan and whinge.
Don't they piss you off? :D
-
Its those bloody people who come on websites with nothing to do with their gripes and start foistering their whines upon us like we gave a shit.
It's all been said before.
-
Lets face facts, as a species, we don't half moan alot, nothings right, this is wrong, thats too much...
This is also mirrored in the news, its robbery, murder, job losses and other crap.
If an alien landed on earth to sample our planet, they may end up topping themselves because mankind is a depressing species and thrives of the misfortune of others.
-
Yay, let's resurrect this!
Today's topic: People with swine flu! Why, when people are being told to keep away from shops, etc., to get their Tamiflu do they still insist on going? One sneeze and it's going into the air conditioning system. No wonder this thing is a pandemic!
Any comments?
-
95% of the public are stupid. this is a proven fact.
-
I seen people in Newcastle wearing face masks yesterday.
-
I've only just got over it and stayed indoors the whole time.
-
when i got it, i immediately went to the pub and breathed on everyone. then i went around licking people at random. on reflection, this may have not been the best thing to do.
-
Are you sure it was swine flu? I reckon not that many people have had the real thing. My friend was told by her doc that she had swine flu but she said apart from a headache, a sore throat and a bit of a temperature she felt ok. She stayed away from work for 2 weeks as the doc said she was not to be in contact with people.
-
Yes, that's swine flu. You don't have to have the coughing or sneezing. There's a lot of confusion over what swine flu actually is, but all you need is a headache and a temperature. My wife got it at exactly the same time as me, same symptoms and everything!
-
That's probably best that you both had it at the same time.
-
I haven't had a good whinge in ages, so I'm going to moan about my cat. Why do their tastes in food change so dramatically? One day, he'll eat Felix Poultry like it was the last meal on Earth and the next day he'll stare at it like you've just served up a dish of crap! Then, he'll muck about, trying to kill various family members, lick bleach bottles, eat twigs, etc. until you serve him something that he does like!
Bloody cats! Why are we their slaves?
(I love him, really!)
-
My cat is 13 and refuses to eat anything but Felix fish varieties. If I run out and go to the corner shop where they only sell Arthurs and Whiskers she will tip her bowl upside down and then plague me all night.
-
MY cats are the same! One week they will eat Felix (in sachets) like starving refugees - the next week they both turn their noses up and we have to go and get Whiskers. They also refuse to eat any meat varieties.
Sadly, our old Tom Charlie died two weeks ago after 'adopting' us for over ten years. He defected from a neighbour's house and moved in with us because the neighbours treated him badly. When they moved away, he stayed with us.
A few days after he died, a shabby stray Tom cat turned up in our garden and has visited us every day since. WEe feed him and fuss him - but he won't move in. He likes being outside. It turns out that four other neighbours are also feeding him so we've christened him 'Sid' after a book my children used to like called Six Dinner Sid. It was about a cat who...guess what he did???
-
As it's a whinging thread, I want to whinge about PEOPLE WHO HAVE BON FIRES ON HOT SUNNY DAYS!! It's been blazing here this weekend. Everyone is in the garden and has washing out. What does out neighbour over the back do?? Has a bon fire! WHY???
The council collect garden waste, recycling waste, rubbish - in fact, anything you want to get rid of. We even have a system whereby charities will come and collect furniture or things you don't want and will make money from disposing of the stuiff for you.
WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BURN WOOD??
Bastard!
-
Nice to have this thread revived. Oldspice I had a cat who started off just like your stray one and eventually moved in. He was always known as 'Roger the lodger'. And I remember Six Dinner Sid - my kids liked that book too!
Quite agree about the bonfires - it's bad enough with all the barbecues going on but at least they smell nice.
-
Ahhh, Roger found a good home in you GC. We miss old Charlie so much - but it's almost as if he sent Sid along as a replacement! Sid is adorable. When you fuss him, he snuggles right up into your arms! He's about the same age as our 'girls' Maggie and Maisie (eighteen months old). They don't like him much. Thye gang up on him! They're usually so friendly, even with other cats. In fact, when Tiger Tom (a beautiful, slim tabby tom) visits the garden, they turn into a right paiur of slappers! But poor Sid doesn't do it for them!
-
WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BURN WOOD??
Bastard!
Turn the hosepipe on him.
-
WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BURN WOOD??
Bastard!
I think this is a primal man thing. Man love fire but too stupid to see washing line, ug! Woman do washing, man light fire, ug! Man eat burnt flesh of animal now, ug!
-
Man eat burnt flesh of animal now, ug!
He cooked your cat then?
-
So, I've REALLY got something to moan about now (I know it's been a while).
A couple of nights ago, I heard three bangs and a skid outside my house. My wife and I ran downstairs to see what had happened, but there didn't seem to be any commotion. Fast forward to twenty minutes later and a bunch of people knocking on the door. I was told to look at my car and I nearly screamed; my wife ran back indoors crying. The whole of the driver side had a great big dent in it! From the front wing all the way to the back door.
The story was that this bastard in a VW Passat came speeding down the wet road sideways (yes, sideways) and rammed my Peugeot 206. He then bounced off, tried to turn around and crashed his back end into a Ford Mondeo just up the road. He hit the other car so hard it half ended up on the pavement with one of its back wheel at 45 degrees!
I've given up with the insurance. My car has a street value of £650, but I have an excess of £650. You can see where this is going. I went to the repair place and they said it would be a sniff under £3000 to repair. Thanks to my mum, I'm going for the repair, but that's only because the car is so good and I really don't want to see the back of it. I can't see the point of blowing the No Claims Bonus.
I bought my car out of our shared savings two years ago. I haven't driven it as much as I would have liked and most of the time it has sat outside the house. Our savings have dwindled for various reasons and I am about to use the last of them for the car. I seriously hope nothing else goes wrong. The only joy I have is that the police have chosen to investigate and if the bloke who owned the Passat cannot prove he wasn't driving his car, the police are going to prosecute him. I'm just so glad there weren't any cars coming the other way or pedestrians crossing the road, because they wouldn't have stood a chance.
Still doesn't stop me from feeling numb though.
-
That's terrible dr - I wish I could do something to help. I hope they find the sh*t responsible and throw the book at him. What a bast**d.
-
hang the b*astard!
-
Something like that happened to my dad, car sitting there, then 20mins later we clicked someone had smash into his car and still drove of down the street.
-
Well, I'll find out later if the garage have found anything else wrong with the car. Fingers x'd!
-
Here we go again. Today's subject is whiney, moany lottery winners. What's up with them?
You know the type. They win the lottery, go for the publicity and then about six months to a year later moan that it was the worst thing that had ever happened to them. Why? They won a shed load of money, can give up work if they want and just about do what they want! But, no, they whinge about how it cost them their friends/husband/cat/guinea pig (delete as applicable) and how their lives are in ruin.
I have the answer. GIVE ME THE BLOODY MONEY!!! I guarantee I won't whinge and I won't go to the papers saying it all ruined my life. I will give up work, buy all those luxury items I've only ever been able to dream about and go on holiday to exotic places. What's to moan about?
Makes my blood boil, it does...
-
it's on a par with celebrities who whine about being famous.
-
Exactly, they chose that life through buying a ticket or launching themselves down the road of fame. As they say, live by the sword, die by the sword!
-
If i won the lottery id remain anonymous.
-
but wouldn't you want to gloat? i know i would!
-
Gloating only ever leads to a world of pain!
-
Now it gets controversial...
Adulterers who hide behind superinjunctions whilst the other party has to take the crap. What's that about? Are we saying that it's now OK to have an affair if you're rich because you'll be able to buy your way out of it? I cannot believe this is even law! I understand that it takes two to tango, but that does been both parties taking the fallout and not just the one who can't afford anonimity.
I suppose Ryan Giggs was one of the ultimate family man professional footballers; that's at least the image he wanted to protect. Then he decides to hide behind a lawsuit whilst Imogen Thomas takes the aftermath. How manly of him that he couldn't own up to his mistake and has now made himself look a prize pratt! Don't even get me started about the guy wanting to sue Twitter!
I say that you commit the crime, you do the time. Simples!
-
careful, dr.t, you're gonna get sued!
-
Yes, me and the other 8,000,000 people. Bring it on!
-
I know it's thread necrophilia...
...but this is my thread AND IT'S STILL HERE!!! I'll have to think of a whinge!
-
Go on then... there must be something.
-
OK, what about the bloody sun! >:(
I'm like everyone else who wanted it to be a bit warmer after the cold weather we've been having. So, after the aforementioned cold weather comes a bloody HEATWAVE! What is it with the weather in this country? Too bloody hot or too bloody cold!!! Honestly, I can't wait to see the back of this one, which, incidentally, should be next week once we've had a massive storm.
Then, I bet, it'll get cold and bloody rainy again!!!
-
I love hot sunny weather, but now it's stopping me from doing anything because it's just too warm.
I have allotments to tend to, but once it gets to be 11am it's too hot to be out there, and I can forget all about digging or weeding or anything like that.
I am going everyday as early as I can and watering all my veggies so they don't die and then coming home. :(
-
The heat is truly kicking my ass too. Don't feel like doing anything. Actually, having said that, went ot the beach today and the sea breeze made it very n ce indeed. But the moment we stepped back away for the wind it was baking again.
Oh, and just had a thunderstorm here. A sign of the air clearing, I hope.
-
They've apparently predicted thunder for tomorrow and then the downhill spiral!
-
Bring the thunder!
-
Oooh a storm. Really?
Oh yes please, a rip-roaring storm to clear the air and plenty of rain for my poor thirsty garden would be lovely. :)
-
The atmosphere today is so much better after last nights storm. Actually had a good nights sleep for a change.
-
Well personally I love the hot weather and haven't had a single whinge about it. Don't mind rain at night though, as I love thunderstorms.
-
Hoping the predictions of a massive storm tonight come true.
-
No storm for me yet and I was looking forward to it. We haven't even had much rain. My front lawn looks like I planted Serengeti grass.. :(
-
We had a massive storm on Tuesday morning that lasted over an hour!!! I put the blind up and watched the show.
-
I was woken at half past six this morning by the most enormous clap of thunder, right above my head. It sounded like the sky had split in two. Then it rained, for 3 hours. No more thunder, no lightning, just rain.
After 3 hours it was all over, the sun came out again and we were back to being warm and muggy again.
Still, three hours of solid rain will have done the garden some good, so YAY!
Just wish there had been more of the storm to see, I love them.
-
Lotsa rain last night. I guess that was summer then? Still, did the flowers good.
-
It's been really hot here again today and not a sniff of rain. I think we've still got some summer left yet. ;D
-
Got caught out in a very brief but torrential downpour earlier. This is never a good start to the summer holidays.
