Originally posted by Willo I believe my dear wife has developed a hatrid for 'Yours Truly' after she said she was 'Down in the dumps' after gazing into the mirror and concluded that she looked aged and frumpy.She added that it would cheer her up if I could pay her a compliment or two. She was not best pleased when my response was "Your eye-sight is top-notch".

When I need a haircut I get out early on a Sat morning to be first in the queue when it opens & that allows me to park in the high street ( instead of Morrisons car park 500 yards away) so I can see when they arrive & open the door from the comfort of my car, lol. Originally posted by martin2412 Don't get me started on barbers ! Last Sunday I was waiting in the barbers to get my hair cut. There are 5 chairs. 3 of them were occupied by 20-something pretty boys who were all having the works - poncey quiffed haircuts, beard trims that were so precise I'm surprised they didn't get a ruler out, and this thing where they put a sticky stick up their hooters then yank it out. WTF is all that about ? All this takes a bloody age whilst I'm waiting for a proper blokes haircut that takes 10 minutes. Young blokes today. They're all a bunch of noofters

To add to my pet hates - Airport drop off charges ( which quite frankly to my mind should be illegal in the first place) & secondly if you happen to forget to pay on the day & remember couple days later the account has already been wiped & you are heading for a penalty payment - I have set up accounts now for both the main airports, Dartford tunnel & the congestion charge just to avoid ending up with penalty charges because I forgot to pay within the designated time -

I have a proclivity to get into a hissy fit when behind a large truck, tractor or some other vehicle which proceeds at slow speed up the hill and for the entire stretch of road and more often than not there are few opportunities to overtake. Truly gets my dander up. Surley "long Furlong" is a contradiction in its self as a Furlong is a fixed unit of length. Also one of my pet hates is people being pedantic.

Surley "long Furlong" is a contradiction in its self as a Furlong is a fixed unit of length.

I hate those apple-caps the spammers wear on matchdays. It's soooo Peaky Blinders, it's embarrassing to watch. And the Fedora. Just because I disengage, I turn the page.

Originally posted by Willo I heard this expression on numerous occasions when I was in Australia a few years ago. Two other pet hates : 1. People who don't say "Please" or "Thank you". 2.

Cyclists hardly ever acknowledge you if you give way to them. That really annoys me.
