What they presumably mean is it's hand made so why don't they say so.

The same as "hand cooked" crisps. How did they cook them by hand? Surely they would either not be cooked due to hands not being hot enough, or the person using their hand would be severely burnt!

People with dogs.

Not all people, don't get me wrong, but people who don't pick up after their dogs or who let them run free along canal paths until you almost trip over them (4 dogs and 2 people on a section about 1m wide) and then suggest you might want to slow down. It's a PEDESTRIAN footpath arghghggh.

Over the last week, I've developed a propensity towards biting my lip when eating. Every time I'm eating I do it at least twice and it's really starting to smart. And what's changed over the last week? Have my lips gotten bigger or my teeth gotten stupider?

Putting the washing machine on then finding a nomad sock in the bedroom

This is not irrational at all...

However, having organised a meeting and contents for said meeting in a specific way (it's addressing a rather delicate issue), only to have the person that was supposed to be working with you on it, completely change everything (my meeting is tomorrow), and then proceeded to advise all of the attendees of all the specifics... THE WHOLE POINT OF THE ****ING MEETING WAS TO CHALLENGE CURRENT PROCESSES!!! Why prepare people who are now going to turn up with pre-conceived ideas....

I now have to re-write a whole presentation.... I'm going to kill him. I really am. Why couldn't he just let me just bloody get on with it... :mad: :mad:

People who attempt to multi task whilst driving and are clearly incapable. Stuck behind someone yesterday who was doing the 50mph-60mph-50mph-55mph-50mph-60mph thing on a clear open straight bit of road. Simultaneously repeatedly weaving from the solid white line at the left of the road to the broken line in the middle of the road. They kept leaning into the middle of the car trying to do who knows what, then... started brushing their hair whilst looking in their rear view mirror (this lasted a good 30 seconds)!

*rage*

The lack of sex education in Bristols schools. (and yes I know parents have to take some responsibility)

People who try to kill me when I'm out on me bike.

I was trundling down the right hand lane of 2 lanes coming up to traffic lights & some **** in a silver Corsa just pulled out of his lane without looking & without indicating, He only broke because he heard me shouting

+

I duly followed him to the next set of lights & abused him, I then accepted his apology & went on my merry way.
