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. Prosecco and ice in pints of cider. British public succumbing to advertising.

People who let dogs run around without a lead.
Waiters/waitresses who come and ask how your food is, when you’re actually chewing on said food.
Barcodes on Creme Eggs.
People who talk during theatre shows/comedy gigs.

Round of 16327 - etc..
Food hates -
Chilli heat/spicy food bores who seem to think every dish must have chilli heat and think those that disagree are wimps, not men, have unsophisticated palates, etc...
The lazy rise of cheese that means every dish must be covered in it - from cheesy chips, every burger,cheesy mash, most shop bought shepherd's pie, and the sneak of cauliflower cheese on to a roast dinner.
The "we don't really do potatoes/roast dinners/meat and two veg" / "we mostly do pasta or rice" / "aren't we modern and sophisticated" types - bore off no one cares.

I notice with interest that so far nobody’s mentioned using ‘of’ instead of ‘have’ after the words ‘should’, ‘would’ or ‘could’ 😀 This and, in case you miss it, Premiership instead of Premier League.

I could go on for ever but I shall start with the half and half scarf. People who push in on Mottram Moor and just generally beer queues etc. I'm just going with mottram Moor what a ball ache. Football it's the lines on offside on var and how in general they've arsed about with the offside rule over the years. Previously it was if the attacker was behind the back 4 offside. Now there's interfering with play. And the fact that ball to hand has gone out of the window. Another transport related one outside of mottram moor the buses in Leeds that sit and wait at a stop catching up time. When they're late your late when they're early no flip side they're late as they sit for ages in headingley. It isn't like there's loads of buses down there (like the leeds version of 192 route). Mixing a couple of replies, Stoke seem to have just got a pen from a clear ball-to-hand “infringement”…

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 who crawl along in the middle lane no matter how empty the inside lane is 🤬🤬

Another transport related one. The eastbound slip road onto the m60 at the pyramid. It's far too short and if you get a daulder in front on you down right dangerous.
Cyclist who jump red lights and give the rest of us a bad reputation.

Equally, Americans who crack jokes about English people not being able to handle spicy food, and showing just how little they know about the UK in 2023

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. They've not been educated not to do it by their parents. My three don't do it. Nor mine. Ever. And I can't recall me ever doing it in my entire life including as a child.

Cyclist who jump red lights and give the rest of us a bad reputation. +1. Deadly. Any entry onto a motorway that is two-laned...A recipe for absolute disaster.
