Title: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 12:51:26 AM A bitchy thread here where we can all have a wee moan about the little things in life that piss our lives off.
Can be poker related or not, let's just try to keep them impersonal. Here's a few to get us going. 1. There's always much more 'Topics' than 'Galaxy Caramels' in a tub of celebrations. 2. People who put the empty sweetie wrappers back in the tub. 3. Folk who pronounce J differently from me (Jai-rhyming with I, instead of Jay-rhyming with Kay) and insist that their way is the only correct one. 4. Films that should have tits in them, but don't. Especially if they're long, dull, French, arty farty ones that I'm only sitting through coz I might cop a nipple or two.

Folk who pronounce J differently from me (Jai-rhyming with I, instead of Jay-rhyming with Kay) and insist that their way is the only correct one. J don't agree :D Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 01:03:17 AM I'm in the Jay camp, my post was somewhat ambiguous. Just thought I'd make that clear.
Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: Robert HM on December 07, 2005, 01:05:32 AM J thought you were but it was a good idea to make it clear, Iust in case.
Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: suzanne on December 07, 2005, 01:24:44 AM Im a Jay girl..i said JAY lol. I thinks its a north/south border thing, im originally from Scotland living in England and unfortunate enough to have a JAY in my postcode which causes endless problems when on the phone trying to spend money I dont have :D
Men/kids who put an empty milk carton back in the fridge. Delivery men who knock on the door when you are in the lav and by the time your knickers are up they have gone. Men who don't wear socks hahaha Old women who think they have gods given right to ram you with their trolleys and barge in front of you. Ooooooooo im gonna love this thread Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: suzanne on December 07, 2005, 01:35:14 AM Waiting for a bus for 45 mins..one finally comes along and the driver drives past waving his thumb saying another is behind which arrives 20 mins later.
Tinned Sardines which have the bones in them. Kids toys that take half an hour to get past the wrapping and twisty thingy and come with 6 pages of stickers. Errrrrr still thinking... Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 02:22:04 AM Old women who think they have gods given right to ram you with their trolleys and barge in front of you. oooh, I hate that too. Sometimes I think old people should be shot at birth. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: The Baron on December 07, 2005, 02:40:48 AM There was an excellent room 101 thread a while back.
My pet hate? Morons (like me) who try and revive old threads!! ;) Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: The Baron on December 07, 2005, 02:50:18 AM Tank, I'm so sorry - that must have sounded like I was calling you a moron. I was referring to myself I swear.
God that looks awful. Sorry mate. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 02:52:38 AM The ;chieften; can take it. He's made of strong stuff, so don't worry.
Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: The Baron on December 07, 2005, 02:54:23 AM Seriously I was taking the piss out of myself for trying to revive the room 101 thread. Crap sense of humour I know!
I know how that post looks but I have never flamed a blondite. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: The Baron on December 07, 2005, 02:55:45 AM I've edited it.

Deal, I wasn't actually criticising. as far as I can remember I quite like things that are fur lined.

Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: Trace on December 07, 2005, 12:36:35 PM I've gone all shy now You don't stand every one up then? Just me! Which actually brings me to what is now my biggest EVER pet hate Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 12:39:27 PM Glad to see we've been keeping it impersonal.
Howsabout.... White guys, over the age of seven, that wear baseball caps backwards. Text messages that get misconstrued, because you can't emphasize the syllables that make it sound like you're joking, when you write something down. I can deal with probs, and soz, but I can't abide poss. Like in "I'll be there as soon as poss" IAPJMUTCPLM - Internet Acronyms people just made up to confuse poor little me. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: booder on December 07, 2005, 01:38:27 PM them crusty boogies that take forever to force out of the nostril, and when they do finally appear , they have about twenty hairs attached ouch!
Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: RED-DOG on December 07, 2005, 01:41:51 PM them crusty boogies that take forever to force out of the nostril, and when they do finally appear , they have about twenty hairs attached ouch! Oh I love those, especially the big "Cornflake" ones, they keep me happy for hours Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: sheight on December 07, 2005, 01:46:05 PM My main hate was shopping in supermarkets, mainly because the missus takes 3 hours to buy nothing. I say was because now my wife has banned me for being naughty…’Result’.
One hot summers day I was dragged like a little schoolboy to my local Asda, it turned into the funniest day ever at the shops. I felt I was being stalked by, well, every bugger and their trolleys. I thought “sod this for a game of soldiers” and started nicking half-full trolleys, casually abandoning them at various parts of the store. I soon got bored with that, but it was payback for the years of trolley rage. I then stalked the Whoops (Asda reduced items) shelves watching the baying bargain hunters scrapping over the reduced/out of date crap and like a man possessed pounced on their abandoned trolley replacing the whoops items with full priced items. Next, those pain in the ass mothers/fathers and toddlers. Would have been pushing it to steal the kids so decided to put KY jelly, condoms and a wee hi glucose sweetie for the brat in the trolley. Wonder if she paid for them. And last, but not least, the Customer Services desk, feckin hate them. Whilst kidnapping trolleys, stalking cheapskates and planting goodies, I called the Customers Service desk 3 or 4 times and using various accents I asked them to let Ivan know that the night out was cancelled. “Nobody called Ivan works here” I was told. I arrived to the front of the Service‘s queue (why does only one person deal with enquiries but another two piss about moving things from one chair to another) and announced that I was Ivan and had they taken any messages for me. The look on their faces was priceless and fair play they took it well. Wife wasn’t to amused though and banned me…. as I said RESULT. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 01:51:54 PM Great post sheight.
Had me giggling. Replacing the whoops items with full priced ones is genius. Don't let anyone tell you different.

OMG LMFAO Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: RED-DOG on December 07, 2005, 02:24:22 PM We bought the "Whoops", or out of date items for many years out of necessity, we still buy some because there is nothing wrong with them and we hate waste
Remember those less fortunate than yourself Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 02:28:18 PM Spoilsport!, fair point though.
Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: AdamM on December 07, 2005, 02:30:10 PM my biggest pet hate, people concentrating on the negative aspects of the world around them. spend more time celebrating things you love and the things you hate fade into mild annoyance.
Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: thetank on December 07, 2005, 02:52:12 PM That would be easier if I were getting some.
To that end, I'm off to Aberdeen for a day or two. Behave yourselves, see you soon. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: Heid on December 07, 2005, 03:14:28 PM Hating stuff is very negative, and takes a lot of energy.
I am generally too lazy to really hate anything, I do distinctly dislike a few aspects of my personality, so I suppose they count :) Also, coconut, celery and nougat. Lap dogs, O' Hare Airport and crane flies. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: londonpokergirl on December 07, 2005, 04:50:55 PM i'm with you on that one Heid
Celery allergic to the damn stuff (pass sick bucket) spiders people who work in customer services but are rubbish at it and haven't got a clue Jh Js its a bugger of a hand to play and seem to always get spanked no matter what 0:-) erm...... can't think of any more but i'm sure theres loads Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: mikkyT on December 07, 2005, 05:02:49 PM 3. Folk who pronounce J differently from me (Jai-rhyming with I, instead of Jay-rhyming with Kay) and insist that their way is the only correct one. You won't get me to change!! J-eye sounds very camp, tbh. Jay is how you pronounce it. Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: tikay on December 07, 2005, 05:30:07 PM Pet Hates? There's not much in life I hate, but plenty of things irritate me. Automated Telephone Reply Services. Try ringing Travelodge to book a room, & listen in amazement to "if you want this/that/or the other, press 1/2/3"..... Ladies in shops & supermarkets who NEVER have the money ready, despite being in the queue for 20 minutes. Then tery go to all 17 compartments of their purse to find the right one. Then they pull out the coins 1 at a time...... And examine both sides of each coin..... Registering at a Hilton Hotel. I'm fascinated by how many key presses they make in the computer. What ARE they doing? I just want a room! Baseball caps worn backwards. Actually, that amuses me more than irritates me, particularly when done by "grown-ups". They think they look cool. I think they look plain daft by trying to look cool. Asking for a meal - say fish & chips - & being given salad with it. Woollen clothes. (They make me itch). Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: sheight on December 08, 2005, 03:47:43 PM We bought the "Whoops", or out of date items for many years out of necessity, we still buy some because there is nothing wrong with them and we hate waste Remember those less fortunate than yourself Sorry, Red dog. I too, buy the 'Whoops' items, hence being in Asda at the crucial 'Whoops' time (early evening). I would have picked a prank on anyone that day ;ifm; Sorry again mate :tikay: Title: Re: O/T Pet hates Post by: RED-DOG on December 08, 2005, 05:39:53 PM No probs, well said. Sorry if I was a bit quick to criticise but I always worry about the underdog (must be a canine thing)
