What I dont get - Selling items on eBay for £1 - why??
Wow, you must not think a lot of people. You assume over 90% of people do the wrong thing.Originally Posted by David_D
As to your question, I use the proven sniff method. I smell all the bags until I recognise which is my dog's s**t. Genuinely, I don't see many bags hanging in trees/bushes. I must just be fortunate that the dogs owners near me act as they should.

Me too - thanks!
Ok something I genuinely don’t get: people walking down the street with their phone held out in front of their face facing upwards, talking into the end of it, possibly while on speaker. I see it all the time. What the hell are they doing?
Don't understand it either and its becoming more and more common and therefore more and more irritating (to me anyway), maybe not anti-social but definitely irritating. Do they not realise I've no interest in whatever dribble they're spouting loudly to each other.
I don't understand why so many people flock to the likes of starbucks / costa etc when there are plenty of generally better independent coffee / tea shops much more deserving of peoples custom.
Philip K.Dick , if you haven't already read his work.
F.T.F.A.
Iain M Banks's culture book are fantastic. I'll check out the SF Masterworks series
No idea.
She's the one with dogs. :)
There was, to be fair, only the one when we came back.

Beat me to it!
They look ludicrous and self important, quite a feat.
People who go outside to take or make a phone call when there is no need to. Fair enough if you have a house full of people, but the guy opposite me lives alone and comes out and stands in his front garden to use his phone. No signal in his house or just a total prick. Given that he also does that holding it in front of him thing I’m guessing total prick.
People who visually intimidate me when I'm making a phone call to my life coach from my front garden. I'm going to have to find a new safe space.
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
Apprentice syndrome.
I used to see someone do it regularly on my commute but wearing Apple headphones so the mic was on the headset anyway, very strange.
Or the bloke the got it the wrong way around, decided to watch porn on his laptop on the train, but Bluetooth didn’t connect & it was loud enough for him to hear over the headphones, very awkward!

Women tennis players - they make these freaking squeaking shrieks every shot. I even saw one today do it while feathering a drop shot.
Freakish behavior.
Go down the woods and stand between all the poo bags hanging from the trees
Guilty as charged!
I go in to my garden to make calls when WFH.
It’s more to stretch my legs, have a change of view, get fresh air, get away from the screen.
I don’t hold it in front of me but I am a prick.
Apparently a social development from "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" - where the viewers require to hear both sides of the puerile discussion for it to 'make sense'.
Load of arse!
Why do lesbians like women who look as much as possible like men? Not a dig but a genuine thing I don't understand. Surely being a gay girl means you fancy girls? I know a few and they assure me it's about being attracted to the femininity but their girlfriends still look like boyfriends to me??
I think you have to be a fan. The fans are more 'we' than the players. The players are transient, but for the fans it's a lifetime commitment.
Yep horrendous
Amateur, try asking why they wear strap ons, that'll get you some interesting responses...
Yeah, I'll probably skip that question. You wouldn't mess with some of their girl/boyfriends!
People who indicate right and then left whilst going straight on at a roundabout.
???
Oh god. Started something there
People who never signal...

Older retired folk who go shopping on a Saturday morning when half the employed population are doing the same.
Cars slowing down to exit a motorway junction from a mile back. Don't slow down til the slip road, it's what it's for! if you must maybe slow to the speed of lorries i.e. 55mph, if you go slower, the trucks pull out into the middle lane and that's how tailbacks start.
Cyclists !!

Throw cushions, WTAF are they for?!!!!
One summer several years ago, when wired headsets were still the norm, talking on the phone like that was the done thing over here among the upwardly mobile, the cool kids and reality show wannabes. There always seems to be a summer fad among these people. Sometimes it’s a piece of clothing, sometimes they all wear keys on a string around their necks. Once it was the need to carry an Evian bottle in the hand, and this in the land where tap water has less contaminants than any bottled waters.
I can understand the need to be fashionable, but I still won’t understand stupid fads.
Robert Heinlein too.
Couriers and food delivery drivers who ‘park’ in the middle of the road to deliver when there’s a perfectly good space extremely close even adjacent to where they have ‘parked’
Same thing at the council tip.
C'mon Possu, I bet you carried a boom box on your shoulder in your youth?
Nope. I was the kid with a leather trench coat and a sixties mix tape in my walkman (well, really a Panasonic) when hip hop was all the rage. In other words I looked and was a ludicrous prick, but I was a nonconformist.
or the mothers/fathers who pick their kids up from school and then go to the supermarket.
for an easier life for me and yourself, Why dont you go to the supermarket before you pick the kids up ?!
People who throw litter, whether this is in McDonald's car park or the beach or anywhere else.
In the case of McDonald's, there are bins at various points. It is mind boggling to see bags, wrappers etc casually dropped from an open window.
Visiting Weston Super Mare recently, it was annoying to see plastic water bottles, a beer can or two and discarded masks.
We as a family take our rubbish home if a bin cannot be located readily. It's not that difficult.
Tattoos.
SUVs. I recently spent 1,800 miles in one and couldn't understand why it had to be so far off the ground and so big in general. A weight of around 2,300kg ruined the experience of driving it fast (and it can go very fast). Even 500kg less, 18" shorter and 12" thinner and it would have been a fantastic family car. After all that driving all I could conclude was that people want them to look down on everyone else. It's certainly not beause they like driving.
"A man of little significance"
I reckon their work hours are adjusted to pick the kids up, not stop work 2hrs earlier to shop. BUT - in effect, they are eating into the kids' time, rather than their own?
Raising kids is not about making things easier for me and you. It’s about teaching them stuff, like how to behave in a supermarket, how to choose the perishables, how to calculate prices, how to wipe one’s own arse etc. I find it’s a lot easier to do when the kids are with me. Pre-covid I took my kids with me shopping whenever I had the chance. Time with kids is not all fun-fairs and parties. It’s more important to show them (not tell them) how to cope with the menial, dull everyday tasks.
................ and carry all the heavy stuff.
Why we don’t have heated toilet seats with lots of buttons like they have in Japan.
On occasions you have to pick up the kids first and then do your shopping. If you do shopping first and buy a tub of ice cream, that will be a milkshake by the time you pick up kids and arrive home.
But I think the real issue is parenting. My kids know they are expected to behave and be mindful of other people.
We have travelled long haul on flights from when my children were only 8 months old. It was a case of ensuring the kids are fed and nappy changed. The biggest task is keeping them distracted and engaged sufficiently that they fall asleep.
One flight, fellow passengers remarked how they were surprised that my son was quiet throughout the whole flight.
This is my approach too.
Maybe they have a job ?
Why my current insurer (car, house etc) …send me a renewal quote 20% up on last years price despite my 30th consecutive claim free year…forcing me to shop around only to find a quote lower than my expiring premium…and when I inform them i am leaving them they subsequently offer to match the quote to stay with them….
Can you add not touching everything in the shop, not picking their nose then touching everything in the shop, not slouching along the shelves as they move from aisle to aisle touching everything in the shop.
Thanks.
Surely that applies for adults as much as it does for children
I can't wait to get out of a crossover/SUV and into an estate. The current car was her choice, this next will be mine.
She had a crash before and her legs were quite cut and bruised. Since then she's wanted to be as high up as possible. Thinks the same crash again would mean the other car's bonnet would go under her rather than into her. Not true of course but good luck winning that argument.
