A circle of Hell unknown even to Dante awaits you I can only imagine the screams emanating from behind those wheels as I then turn right to Stalyvegas 👀😱🤬😂 Then rag it up to the mini roundabout, turn left, rag it back towards Mottram Moor, and turn right at the lights, giving them the finger when you realise they're now 200 yards further up Hyde Road than you are... I may have done this...I may not have.

Football: artificially trying to generate an atmosphere at a match eg the Sweet Caroline nonsense and silly goal music only played for the home teams goals. In media the constant use of "we all" " everyone" eg "we were all gripped by insert programme. Well actually we all weren't because I didn't watch said programme. They are sweeping statements that assume that everyone must like anyone/thing/darling the media deem popular. Most of whom I've not seen or don't know from Adam. Does my head in. Just Sweet Caroline, well Mexican waves too, but it’s the same people, concrete shoes and into the canal And for those who’d let the mobile phone torch wavers off, it’s a slippery slope

Got a driving one...
People who slightly speed up to match my speed, because they can't psychologically handle being overtaken, when I'm overtaking them with cruise control on at 80mph.
And switch it for undertaking. People who slightly speed up when they can see themselves being undertaken.
Also...people who cut a corner without giving you a single thought, not realising that if I had done PRECISELY the same as them (or just not slowed down to avoid them), that they'd be going through the hell of insurance and getting their car repaired, whereas I'd have a courtesy car and my arse wiped for the next few weeks while my company car was repaired. I wish I had the capacity inside me to be a little more gung ho.

People online who have an almost visceral hatred of me when I state my opinion that the Beatles were great, and also are over-rated.
It's almost like I've personally attacked their well-being, their families, and am single handedly trying to destroy their sole purpose in living.

The bbcs coverage of the FA Cup when they try to talk up a game between Premier league u23 and a championship reserve side in front of a half empty stadium. And acting like it's like a shock when the championship side wins.

Football: lad "bantz"
Wider Life:
People who park inconsiderately. For example: too far from the curb, spanning two spaces, half a car length from the start of a parking area so fewer people can park in the section.
Shit drivers generally: tailgaters, middle lane hoggers, people who don't pull away at the lights, people who don't indicate, people who dangerously overtake because you have the audacity to drive at the speed limit only to then catch them at the next set of traffic lights 10 seconds later.

I wish I had the capacity inside me to be a little more gung ho. OMFG the people who speed up when you're overtaking them drive me mad. Especially as they're often the middle lane hoggers I mentioned before. I don't think I noticed it nearly as much until I started using cruise control myself so I know for a fact I'm driving at a consistent speed. I avoid undertaking people like the plague. If someone is oblivious enough to drive down the middle lane without a care in the world they're oblivious enough to not check their mirrors if they do decide to come inside. I always enjoy moving from lane 1 to 2 to 3, overtaking and then seeing them move back across to lane 1 in my rear view after I've done so in front of them.

The champions league and modern European competition.
It was a lot better when it was the champions and a straight knock out as was the cup winners cup and the uefa Cup. Now European competition has been sacriced at the altar of money. Without sounding like a grumpy old man it was a lot better when I was young in this case it genuinley was!

Littering. Spitting in the street. Walking to the bus stop for work the other morning two young lads stop outside my local newsagents, one is drinking from a large costa/McDonalds style cup, there was a bin literally less than two feet behind him but instead of putting it in that he decided to launch his unfinished drink into the middle of the road. I could feel the rage building inside me & in my mind I felt like getting hold of the scruffy scrote & shoving his head in the bin but being as there was two of them, who were half my age & twice my size I didn't fancy a kicking at 7 O'clock in the morning so instead just got on the bus in a very bad mood. Lost count the amount of times I've been sat in a McDonalds car park & seen cars parked in front of the bin only for the occupants to wind their windows down & just chuck their rubbish out of the window........boils my piss completely.

My three don't do it.

Football: Predictability of the FA Cup, round 1, cue non league team on tv and the BBC without fail have as their thumbnail a picture of a small boy holding a foil FA Cup trophy. (This is bad enough). Its the lads first and probably ever game at the ground and come round 3 both the media and said boy will have forgotten all about that club/level and be focused on a 3rd round game between two mid table Premier league clubs who usually put out a weakened side.
In life, when supermarkets move all the stock from the usual aisle to end of a random aisle as its "on offer". The amount of times I've thought they're out of stock is infuriating, particularly if you're in a rush and only going to few aisles.
