One thing always bloody annoys me is when you're walking down the road and you've got the sun in your eyes... Regardless if someone is coming the other way, you're always expected to move out of their way, yet every time you've only got a matter of seconds to make the maneuver because you only see them at the last minute whilst they noticed you five minutes ago2

What's a geriatric? A German footballer scoring three goals.
People always say: "You're a comedian, tell us a joke." They don't say: "You're an MP, tell us a lie."
I can still enjoy sex at 74 - I live at 76, so it's no distance.
I'm generally annoyed by people taking threads away from their topic.
IMO his best gag was:
'When I was young I told them I wanted to be a comedian, and they laughed'
...'They're not laughing now'

People who make an offer on your flat, then change their mind a 10 days later and sheepishly admit that actually they don't want it after all, by which time the 4 other people who made perfectly acceptable offers have already found somewhere else so you have to go through the whole poxy routine again from scratch.0

In a seller's market you don't want to be accepting an offer without some sort of non refundable gesture of good faith. It's negotiation after all - terms are driven by whoever has got the best cards. So you can say to the first ones, fine, but it's not yours til we see the colour of your deposit old chum.MrLargo said:People who make an offer on your flat, then change their mind a 10 days later and sheepishly admit that actually they don't want it after all, by which time the 4 other people who made perfectly acceptable offers have already found somewhere else so you have to go through the whole poxy routine again from scratch.

Yeah I was thinking about that afterwards (too late by then obviously). It's not a practice I've ever encountered though, either as a buyer or a seller, although I guess it's down to the individual vendor to stipulate this to the estate agent as a condition of someone putting an offer in.Bryan_Kynsie said:

It seems everybody involved in house sales is a shifty bastard. Estate agents are possibly my #1 pet hate. Horrible people0 -
People referring to a surgery or surgeries.

I think it's from a Michael Jackson documentary. At least that's where I first clocked people talking about him having 'surgeries' as opposed to operations0 -
People who leave £30,000 worth of car parked on the drive or in the road, and fill their garages with empty kitchen units and junk.

When you are in the queue a a checkout and the person in front of you stoops over, looks left and right and cups their hand over the card reader when putting their number in as if they are guarding the crown jewels.

Cash points too. I understand privacy in this day and age, but I've had people look at me as if were attempting to rob them unless 30 feet away. No love, if I'm dressed in a suit in a queue to use the cash points at Charing X in the rush hour on a weekday morning, and I'm standing behind the line that is put there specifically, it's unlikely that I'm going to attempt to rob you.Bedsaddick said:When you are in the queue a a checkout and the person in front of you stoops over, looks left and right and cups their hand over the card reader when putting their number in as if they are guarding the crown jewels.

People who try to prevent their money from being stolen are the biggest arseholes of all.5

Yes fancy following the procedures suggested by the police and the banks for protecting your PIN. And no-one wearing a suit was ever a crook...IA said:People who try to prevent their money from being stolen are the biggest arseholes of all.

I have no problem with anyone protecting their pin, as said I was well clear of the woman. But even if I were a robber, a snooty look of suspicion isn't going to put me off. I just found it strange. I don't know, maybe I look like a criminal and deserve such a sneer of contemptAlgarveaddick said:

Just to put some context to this a woman at the tesco checkout on Northumberland avenue said I look like, and I quote 'Mick from Eastenders'cabbles said:

Fuck it, I did deserve the sneer and over the top dramatic actions taken by this woman0 -
You shield IT to stop the camera that is part of the skimmer from seeing your pin.1
