Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Yep, I second that, in fact the whole thing about being a celebrity gets on my nerves. There was a time that these people had talent, now any old no Mark is one, trying to tell us how to eat, keep fit, fly, sleep, etc.... Feck off!
Programs to get your average joe blogs their fifteen mins of fame have gone on some sort of TV game show has almost gone, they are being taken over by the so called celebrity people, which changes the whole dynamics of what These shows were about. Not that I watch tv much, films or box sets seem to be the norm lol..... along with sports.

Cagers that flick on the high beams after you've overtaken them.... I mean, whats that all about? You were saw dawdling along under 40mph on a country lane, what did you expect?

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I had that yesterday. Someone doing 30mph on the motorway slip road with no intention of speeding up. I got flashing lights and the horn being beeped as I went past.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Hardly a new vent but i find it amazing how many people drive around on bald tyres. Was in a queue of traffic yesterday and the car next to me looked like he was driving on slicks. You see so many in car parks exactly the same.
Are people really so stupid?

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
The difference between minimum tread depth and totally feckin' bald is literally a small fraction of and inch.....or 1-2mm for you metric types, so I can see why it happens.
I think people tend to go by the tread depth rather than the wear-bars, but that's just a guess.

1.6mm or about 65 thousands 1/16" is our legal minimum for cars.

And it's as low as 1mm on motorcycle tyres.
I change well before then, but not every one does.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I literally have no idea how people do their 9-5 weekday commute. Yesterday finished our meeting at 1715 and I saw drivers deciding a green light nust mean red, 40mph must mean 30mph and a national dual carriageway a driver was crawling along at 55mph in the fast lane. By the time I got home I was so angry at everyone!!

Anti -fooking -vaxxers. Especially the ones that despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary still use autism as an excuse not to vaccinate.
And even if there was a risk of autism from vaccinations I’d still rather my autistic son than a dead son.
Worse than flat earthers in my book.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Two things in one trip to the vets and back this morning.
People who buy dog breeds that clearly cant breathe or who have been over bred but look 'cute'. Been sat in the vets for a while this morning and the amount of dogs who cant breathe, salivate too much or cough as they cannot function correctly is criminal - all the owners seemingly had them because they like they way they look without any care for animal suffering or extending the problem by buying the things
People who park across other people's driveways because they are too fecking lazy to park 10 metres away and walk, you lazy moronic nobbers! This guy got a proper mouthful this morning and then said sorry i didnt realise you lived there Doesnt matter - it's someone's house!
Anyway, apart from that it was a calm and successful morning.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Both of those p!ss me off significantly!! Especially the dog breeding!!!!
We're very careful when we do breed (1 litter from 1 daughter we keep from each litter) to ensure we breed with the best stock possible to avoid possible hereditary problems being passed on

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I’m having a bad week.
Next person that decides to sneak out from between cars in a carpark and walk behind me when I’m mid way through backing out after making sure the path is clear is going to get backed over
That and bell ends that just step out onto a road when there is no hope of making it across before you get to them and completely ignore the fact you’re even there.
I really need to get back on a bike soon
