Ah I normally make my own posts for rants... I already had a go at motorists. Okay I actually have one... why are people generally compliant? Every time something goes wrong, prices go up and if they get fixed, prices never go down. There's no protest, we just accept it. People even order immediately or feed scalpers. |

If you're driving at 70mph on a road with a 50mph limit and you almost wipe out 3 mornings in a row by cornering on the wrong side of the road putting another car into a gateway or leave the ground coming over a blind brow you might want to think about slowing the fuck down or handing your licence back ya prick.

Years ago when Vat was added to hot food a local supplier who also owned a chippy reduced the piece of a bag of chips to 10p but charged for salt and vinegar which was mandatory. |

That explains my recent chipper experience! If you only go to a pub once every few months, you could notice an extra fiver missing from your pocket, it's insane. |

Not the most passionate rant ever but...
I commute a few days a week. I often get stuck in traffic for maybe 15-20 mins on the dual carriageway and a disproportionate amount of times when I look in the rearview mirror, the person behind is nattering away at length on the phone.
Bear in mind this is 6.30/7am... who/what the hell are you talking to/about at that hour. Is it work related and it can't wait until you're there? Is it a significant other you can't go without hearing from?
I understand people need to make/take calls every now and again for various reasons but the sheer amount of full-on conversations going on at that hour of the morning just baffles me. |

Are they on the phone with it in their hands
The amount of drivers that do that even when their cars support hands free is frightening |

The phone held while driving does my nut too.
But no these are handsfree, full-on lengthy conversations at 6.30am, a time when the mere sight of people around me has me in foul humour never mind having to engage with them... |

I pass 30-40 people every morning walking to work between 5 and 5.30 and at least half of them are chatting on the phone. So much so that many of them just walk across the road mid conversation without even so much as a glance.
Even allowing for the fact that most are probably foreign nationals who could be speaking to someone at home it's still only going to be between 6 and 6.30 there so I always assume that all across Europe there are people walking to work chatting to their mates in Ireland and almost getting run over there as well. |

What about if a foreign national is talking to someone abroad who's a few hours ahead ....so all talking to each other just before starting work |

I have no reason to complain today. I feel really good today. The sun is shining, it’s warm, and the sky is clearsuch. I have more energy than usual, and everything just feels easier. It is amazing what a bit of sunshine can do. It is just one of those days you just want to enjoy while it laststhat lifts your mood. I am just really happy and I enjoying it. |

Citylink, which apparently has a policy of always selling a ticket to one guy who will be talking on the phone all the way between Galway and Dublin. 🤬
The catering industry conspiracy which has the waiter/waitress lying in ambush until I have my mouth full to spring out of hiding and ask if everything's fine, the answer being along the lines of "hmmbmhffmbhffgh..." with accompanying head bobbing and hand gestures. I swear... Every. Single. Time. 😭 |

People who sit on their motorbike and try to put fuel in. Then get pissy with me because I won't authorize the pump. Come into the shop with their helmet still on mumble stuff at me. Telling me I'm an idiot and it's perfectly safe to put fuel in while still on your bike. So I should be authorizing it.
Well actually I want to keep my job so I won't be authorizing it while your still seated on the bike. If u have an issue take it up with the company! Or even better get your fuel elsewhere!!
Perfect day to come have a nosey in the forum |

People generally give me reason to rant daily. I'd support a cull.
A big annoyance atm is that we all have to listen to what people are looking at on their phones. Surrounded on a bus, the noise can be incredible. So bloody rude.
Oh and why do young fellas have to walk around with their hand down their pants?

Thank you for the safe space to rant Bog Man.
I live on the edge of a rural village. The field behind got cut two days ago, then lifted and bailed and tractored away. Yesterday, with a line full of fresh washing out, and it fully fucking dry (I just hadn't got round to bringing it in), the farmer decided to spray putrid shite all over the ground on a slightly windy day. My laundry had to be all re-washed and tonight I'm having go dry it in the tumble dryer as the air outside still has a strong odor.
The joys.... |

People walking 2 or 3 abreast and expect me to step into the road or into the mud so they don’t have to move and break their conversation for a few seconds.
Even when I’m walking with someone else, they never get out of the way, it’s always my group that ‘gives way’ 🤬 |

Public transport edition!
People eating loudly. People eating at all! People talking on their phone. People talking at all. People playing music/tik tok on their phone speaker. People wearing their backpack when packed. People who put their feet on seats. Youths! (Not all of them). E scooters/bikes during rush hour. People invading personal space when there’s no need. People breathing on you. People who move between carriages. People who leave their rubbish. People who don’t have their card ready to boop despite being in a queue waiting to boop cards. And my ultimate, transport leaving before the designated time.
I’m sure there’s more |

And another one....those people who are surprised that they have to take their belts etc off when they get to the top of the airport security queue having watched everyone before them for the last half hour. |

Can I add, people who are queueing at a bank machine but struggle to find their bank card when they reach the top! |
