... and to keep things fair ... pedestrians who think they can just wander across the road in their own time, and all the cars will just have to slow down or stop! ROADS ARE FOR CARS!!!!

Whilst picking up some groceries for today's sunday lunch, I approached the vegetable section in Sainsbury's for some carrots, but stoppped, watching some old biddy 'rooting' through the carrots, inspecting everyone and then tossing them back..
After what seemed an eternity I said: " If you did that in Italy, you've been given a bollocking leaving your dirty mitts all over the vegetables, because who knows where you hands have been!"
The look that 'Mrs Brady old lady' gave me was priceless.

So I nominate old people rumminging through fresh veg really annoy me.

I wonder if this sort of behaviour happens in other countries.

Recycling nonsense - some council prick just left a blue wheely bin in my driveway!
Last year they left a blue box and a green box [I keep coal in them].
I've already got two black wheely bins and a brown one which I've found is good for getting rid of car batteries and starter motors if you cover them with hedge clippings

I don't have a clue what they want me to put in them [or not] and I've no intention of finding out.

Women, who on a scale of 1 to 10, rank about a 3 or 4 . . . yet expect to only date/marry a man who is a 10: good-looking, confident, strong, wealthy, passionate, romantic, and an all-around good husband and father. Yet, she doesn't have to change the fact that she's 300-pounds, bathes twice a week, is missing half her teeth, never works, and never does anything around the house. It's okay though, because she's a "princess".

Drivers who dont use their mirrors before reversing.
I nearly got crushed yesterday with a Royal Mail driver who reversed as i was trying to dodge around some roadworks. He put it into reverse as i was between his van and the road works. Didnt stop to check if anyone was there. Needless to say the stupid idiot looked at me as if i was in the wrong.
He couldnt possibly have checked his mirrors seeing im 6'2'' and was less than 10 foot away. He would have spotted me.

Bloody idiot. Told him that to his face too.

Recently my local council started issuing some residents with red wheelie bins - for what purpose I have no idea.

A former work colleague of mine had an incredibly low (almost non-existent in fact) level of personal hygiene. He'd arrive at the office in the morning stinking to high hell of rancid body odor, he's fingernails permanently had dirt underneath them, his hair had lumps of dandruff encrusted in it, his clothes were covered in white stains

, but the most astounding aspect was that he had no idea that he was emanating such a vile stench. So bad was it that he was called into the Managers office (on more than one occasion) to be reprimanded about his personal appearance.

I'm all in favour of recycling but it's blatantly obvious that some councils have adopted a half arsed way of dealing with the issue. It's hardly surprising that opinion has rubbed off on many people. Our local council is pretty good but you'll always get some jobsworth knob on the van that refuses to use common sense when confronted by a small problem.
They should try to get the public on their side and not go out of their way to create problems.
