Sandhurst Red Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 The best time of year...for Gym based 101s. This week alone, things that have annoyed me: * Mobile phones in the gym * People using equipment but not actually using the equipment, instead sat on it texting/playing games * Gym bags being taken around with them, but no actual additional equipment being taken out of the bag to be used. Store in a locker like everyone else. * People reinventing ways to use equipment or using it in a way that will not give any benefit whatsoever. * Headphone over hoodies. With hoods up... Why. Just why?!? I could go on, but you get the gist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I used it regularly about 20 years + ago, and even now I remember it and know just what you mean! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Sinclair Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Overpackaging of items received in the post (you know the ones, the whole parcel covered in parcel tape which takes an hour to get into, I'm all for secure packaging but that is overkill) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 It may have been mentioned already, but my absolute biggest hatred is people who do those bedsheet banners with things like “happy birthday Kevin” and hang them over roadside bridges. Not the act of doing it - that’s fine, it’s a nice surprise for the birthday boy/girl. It’s when the pricks leave them up there for days or weeks afterwards. It’s like industrial littering and should be treated as fly tipping. There was one on a roundabout by me that had been screen printed and left for six months. And if I ever meet Mr Caolan Feast, I’ll bloody tell him where to go! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in a slightly similar vein, left over cable ties on lampposts when the item that was attached to them has long since gone - anyone else ever been face whipped whilst running past one and not noticing?

slartibartfast Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 i'm getting totally ****** off with ******* Geordie voices on TV, it's the most ugly dialect in Britain, but producers on ALL channels seem to think it's "canny, like". I wouldn't mind, but it's a very relatively small area that speaks it ! You hardly heard it till Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, and Big Brother came along, now it seems every other ****** on TV comes from Tyne/Wearside ! Northern ***** !
