What grinds my gears:

Latin music - it’s just uncoordinated banging and high pitched guitars. f***ing noisey and it’s impossible to distinguish one track from another. You cannot do ‘English bloke’ dancing to it and generally women found at Latin bars look more like Ronaldinho than Gisele.

Cyclists - just because you have bought a bike, some unflattering Lycra and a bell, which you fold up on the train and then cycle the long distance from London Bridge Station to Minories, does not make you a) Tour de France King of the Mountains, b) environmentally conscious, or c) not an ageing, boring bellend. Plus the aforementioned items do not give you the freedom to ignore road laws.

Local supermarkets - dirty, full of cheap food I do not wish to buy and staffed by congenital idiots.

Ticket selling websites - it is easier to purchase yellowcake uranium than two tickets to Cypress Hill at Brixton. You need an hour to get the opportunity to buy a ticket and then a a limited time frame to close the purchase. If you haven’t previously registered, forget it. You will have to start again and let’s hope they deliver your tickets as if you have to ask for the tickets to be redelivered, you will find instructions more complicated than Einstein’s theory of relativity that need complying to in order to get your tickets.

What grinds your gears?

World Cup related.

Players running on to the pitch from the subs bench to celebrate a goal. If I were the ref I would book every single one of them.

Vuvuzelas. I thought that they had been banned but they were back for the Spain Iran match

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Nitpicking.

There is a good example of what I mean in the Tommy Robinson thread:-

This is where you lose your argument. There is no ‘extreme poverty’ in London. Most people have a roof over their heads, access to education and healthcare.

‘Extreme poverty’ is orphans growing up in Gurgaon under motorway bridges.

Get some perspective.

'If you are left wing you are uneducated'
'If you are right wing you are a racist'
'If you dont agree with me then you havnt done enough research'
'If you dont 100% agree with me you are part of the problem'
'We are the only people that see the world as it really is'
'I am the only person here that hasnt been brainwashed by ...'

Lazy stereotypes achieve nothing, I see it everywhere and its really difficult to have any kind of discussion because of it...

Have to make it clear that this place is miles from being an example of that, this site is full of balanced and well thought ideas compared to other sites!!!

The horns sounded great at Spain 82 in that Italy v Brazil match Brazil managed to not get the draw and gave the match and tournament away.

Loads of things on the road. Mainly women. I just typed manly women and I mean them too, well mainly actually.

Texting, smoking while manoeuvring, holding everyone up, school run s***, parking in stupid places, recently on the side turning of a t junction.

British people who don’t understand their own language or what you’ve said and think you’ve said something else. Eastenders type bullsh1t.

People that don't indicate while driving.
People that walk along the street like a zombie staring at their phone with no awareness of what's around them.
