I fucking hate 13 year old kids on scooters, thinking they own the fucking streets.
Cutting off cars, blocking sidewalks, swearing and yelling loudly across the markets.
I sometimes really hope one of them get hit by a fucking car.

I fucking hate adults in cars, thinking they own the fucking streets.
Cutting off cyclists (like me), swearing and yelling loudly at cyclists for no apparent reason.
I sometimes really hope one of them get hit by a semi-trailer.

I'm a cyclist and I fucking hate other cyclists. Cutting off cars, sneaking up behind me and overtaking me without a warning ding, going through red lights (which I see all the time) and then bitching about the rudeness of cars who happen to be in the car lane and not expecting a bike there as well.

I'm a pedestrian and I fucking hate seeing cyclists and car drivers all over the streets cutting eachother off, sneaking up on eachother, overtaking eachother, dinging their bells, causing accidents, swearing, yelling and bitching.

I agree. A a lot of cyclists are complete cocks on the road and give us all a bad name - namely the try hards in their Lycra and gelatine crotches. That, however is no reason to fuck with innocent cyclists.

Don't get me started on cycling - Though it's people who don't know how to use the damned roads that piss me off in general, no matter what vehicle they're controlling. Hell, some of them aren't even controlling a vehicle! As well as losing count at how many near misses I've had, I've also lost count of the amount of dipshits who've stepped into the road infront of me without paying attention. I'm just glad I've installed an air horn on my bike, it works wonders.

I still wish there was a way of separating cars from bikes here in the UK though, like they do on the continent. But I think I've rambled enough about that in other topics.

I need to pass my driving lessons soon, but I have a feeling I'm going to hate driving more than I hate cycling.

I think there's something wrong when someone over the age of 11 uses a scooter. I've seen people in my school that do it, and they're the same cunts who think they're the hardest kids in the area. If you want to make yourself look "tough" get a better vehicle or walk to school like the rest of us.

I've noticed that nearly 100% of the time when a chav is riding by me on a bike he will instantly pull a wheelie as soon as he gets in line with me. I really don't think they bother to do them when no one is around. I just don't look at them because it's unimpressive.

^ When people do that to me, for some strange reason, there is a 50/50 chance they actually fall off and skid along the tarmac, or a 40/60 chance they fall off and then sorta collapse double over upside my leg. Then you have to fight the urge to kick them and actually help the dumb fuckers up. Arseholes.

And on the topic of scooters, fucking, fucking scooters, I know sixteen year olds that on occasion still come to sixth form on the bloody machinations, they. Are. For. Five year old's. End of story. with that being said when I get a go I fucking love them.

Yeh like those, then again, some 50cc mopeds look equally as disastrous, you have to be really careful when you buy one so you don't look like a pizza delivery bloke.

All of this traffic discussion has reminded me about one of my major peeves, that absolutely no-one else (aside maybe from Taco and Cloverfield) will be able to relate to.


The company who runs our tram network recently spent millions putting these posters up around Melbourne, handing out fliers, and putting ads on TV warning people to be careful crossing the road and to look out for trams. It's a waste of fucking money, as people are generally careful crossing the road anyway, and if they're not careful when there are cars about, a campaign warning them about massive, loud, clanging monstrocities won't make much of a difference.

On the other hand, at least once a week I will see a car zoooooooming past a tram when it has its doors open and passengers are stepping out. In case you don't know, that is not only very dangerous, but it's blatantly illegal too. People get injured and killed all the time with that happening. But they don't put on any ad campaigns because when that happens it's the car driver's fault and not the tram company.

You have the Croydon Tramlink and a semi-decent underground system. Tramlinks in London where space is limited would cause further gridlock.

When I went to Melbourne, I got on a tram for the very first time and wasn't expecting for it to take off so fast. I wasn't even holding onto anything while I got sent down to the ground by the sheer force of it taking off.
I hate the things.

I watched Big Brother once, there was a guy named Jay who put a sock around his giblets and proceeded to shave his arsecrack in front of the living room mirror.

Some guy wanted a hair cut and Jay cut it for him... with his shaver. I laughed. Other than that, Big Brother does nothing for me.

Big Brother was so boring in Australia. The only thing remotely amusing about it was the 'Friday Night Live' gameshow associated with it and all the house's members. I liked seeing them get thrown around like ragdolls on some of the challenges.

Big Brother may now be on Channel 4, but I still have people asking me if I saw it last night. Apparently it was "really good" last night. Big Brother is never really good. I'm pretty sure I'd be irritated by 99% of the people in that damn house.

I'm so glad Big Brother has more or less faded into obscurity now even if it's still being made - What a shit concept for a TV show. I never understood what was so fantastic about it and for a little while I thought I was the only one who intensely disliked it.

Then again if humans were featured in a zoo exhibit, this is what it would be like I suppose. I still don't see the appeal though.

---

It's days like yesterday (trying to get to an appointment, bike chain snapped while I was in the middle of nowhere and some parts of it flew into the bushes, resulting in a long walk home and a missed appointment) which remind me of something else that often makes me really angry: Sod's law (or Murphy's law). "What can go wrong will go wrong" is the statement - All too often, I get days where lots of unrelated things go wrong at the same time. Who else here has re-occurring problems with that?

Also, who else is pissed off with the spell checker in Google Chrome not giving you the right corrections when you misspell something? This failure is made more annoying by the fact that you can often search for the misspelled word in Google to have it come up with the correct spelling immediately - So why can't the browser get it right?

I don't know if it's possible in the UK, but in here, you can actually buy Big Brother 24/7 for about 40€ and you get to see everything that happens in there.

SERIOUSLY? Who the fuck would buy it?
