Yeah, because every fething cyclist is the same, just like Americans and non-white people (aka terrorists, amiright?).

There are a certain type who stubbornly choose to ride on the road even when there is cycle path like 3 feet away. It does give the impression that they are being annoying on purpose.

Then whoever says they hate byciclists should say that they hate that particular group - I find assuming all byciclists are like that very offensive, just like I'm sure a lot of people will find it offensive if I'd say I hate Americans because they're fat and racist (which isn't true, either).

I'm confused, are you talking about bikes or motorcycles?

I'd say bicyclists refers to people riding bikes

Just checking.

Those electrical bikes get close to motors, though! Annoying things.

Personally I'm fine with bikers, but most motorcyclists annoy me. Many modify their bikes to be louder, so much so that NY had to pass a law against it . The people around were I live seem to not understand the rules of the road or common decency.

Also people who militantly love dogs and hate cats. It might just be my own experience, but I swear people that love cats are indifferent to dogs, but people who love dogs always seem to hate cats. Why?

Edit: I will add people that can't write legibly, with poor cursive being the worst. Take the extra 5 seconds to write your note/letter so the other person can figure out what the heck you were saying.

So your left handed? What about computer equipment. Don't you have to get specially made Keyboard/Mouse?


Back OT. People who talk to me when I'm annoyed

Yep I'm a lefty, and no I've always used a mouse with my right hand and typing has never bothered me either. I guess you just get used to some things, though there is plenty of stuff that you still can't get around because it is just legitimately made for right handed people (scissors, those chairs with flip up desks, etc...).

Edit: And wow yeah I forgot about guns in general, the slide release on handguns is always made for a right handed person's thumb, it's real weird for a lefty. Mag releases tend to be right handed on plenty as well, like the 1911 and Beretta. Bolt actions are always backwards, and I guess unless you're in the military (I am not) this isn't a big deal but the fire selector on most assault rifles is not ambidextrous (at least M16/M4), though it seems like there are more manufacturers putting them on both sides now.

For me... whether I'm annoyed by how loud a bike is depends on the type of bike it is.... If it's a crotch rocket, "racing" bike, then I'm annoyed as feth when they shift down to make their bikes scream... It's bloody stupid. If it's a chopper/cruiser type, I don't mind it, because I rather like that more guttural roar from an engine. On the plus side, if you can hear them, then you should be able to look for them and thereby not run them over.

Maybe this is me growing up with a Hells Angel as a father, but I love loud, obnoxious bikes

When people ask me why I need a gun.

By loud and obnoxious, and love... do you mean the chopper/cruiser type (harley's and the like)... or do you also like the whiny sounding "crotch rocket" crowd as well?

People who ride crotch rockets are also the type who drink light beer from a straw. Crotch Rockets are not bikes, they pretend to be bikes.

Mark this day Dakka... Hotsauceman and I actually agree on something

On the subject of guns: People thinking guns are a human right or something. Or some holy gift from whatever they believe in.

300 threads on "How will the latest edition of rules affect my army?" when the new rulebook isn't even out, yet.

Let a month pass and digest the rules, people.

This will be long...
Children
Birds near my house
Cats near my house
Nice neighbours
Unpleasant neighbours
People being too close to me
People touching my stuff
People not putting my stuff back
Almost any kind of layout change
Rain
Sunlight
Snow after people have been in it
Things being out of order
Being told to put things in order
People making movies based off books and changing too many things
Twilight
Things with the same problems as Twilight
Everyone talking about the same thing
People talking to me about sports
The idea that sports and celebrities have any kind of significance
David Camerons face (I admit this is weird)
People who focus solely on the negative side of things
Incorrect spelling that's corrected by Autocorrect.

I think that's enough.

Europeans that don't understand how the US Constitution works or how important it is to our country.

Teenagers that think they know everything.

Kids in college that think they're actually adults.

Interns that spend 20 minutes sending you a BS email about how they can't make a fix to a webpage, with a lame excuse about how it won't work right, when you know it will and it would have taken a whole 2 minutes to just do it and rather than wasting 20 whining about it.

I think he's talking about bicylcists. Bikes are bikers.

Bikers vs. bicyclists, Bikers auto win!

Byciclists organisations are way less criminal. Much better for the environment, too.

My number one pet hate on dakka.... PEOPLE WHO WONT TAKE MY MONEY! Now this may seem weird but when you are talking about buying miniatures from people and you are basically finalising thins then all of a sudden communication stops it drives me up the wall! I understand tha important things can crop up as im sure we have all been there but when it is four or five people in a row and all within the exact same time frame it drives me insane! If anyone can see this and had been in the finishing stages of a deal... TAKE MY MONEY! Other than that just about everything annoys me hahahaha

When you drop something, and it seems to disappear.

This is an ongoing annoyance mostly experienced at work which I needed to add it to my budding list of trivial hate (right next to Prius drivers).

Bathroom talkers.

You know who you are but you need to know that what you do is WRONG. Please do not try and carry on a conversation with me while evacuations are being conducted. I am not interested. Anything more than a "hello" or, possibly, an "excuse me" (if you have to navigate around me) are the only acceptable utterances you can make in a bathroom setting. The weather, sports, weekend plans, or any other inane public topics that are shared in break rooms, elevators and hallways are not welcome when I am near the porcelain throne. Treat the bathroom like a fething library and shut the hell up.

Late last week I had a co-worker leaving the bathroom as I was entering. I made the mistake of making eye contact with this co-worker and so I gave him a cheerful "hello" on my way to the stall. I received a friendly "hello" back as I closed the stall door and figured the exchange was over. Oh no. Oh hell no, this guy had a lot more to say! Mr. co-worker-man proceeded to linger in the bathroom to have a conversation with me while I was in the stall. WTF? Worse, there were other people in the bathroom who had no interest in being subjected to two strangers' conversation while they were doing their business. This guy and I share similar work orbits, so I couldn't be outright rude to him, and was put in the very awkward position of having to quickly and politely end the conversation so I could go about my task in the stall. It didn't end quickly though, he kept talking and not picking up on my verbal cues to end the conversation. Feth you, co-worker guy. Even my cats understand that bathroom time is private time so why can't you? It isn't just this one guy either. There are a number of dudes zipping around my place of work who seem to treat the bathroom as a break room and I just don't understand why. Why Dakka? Why?

This.... Ad on the guy who will take the middle urinal in a 3 urinal bathroom (and the other 2 are empty). Also the guy who takes the stall/urinal directly adjacent to the one I've gone to when there are other options available.

Man Law dictates that when possible there shall always be a minimum 1 urinal/toilet between you and another man, when available.

Agreed on all counts. The 1 urinal/stall buffer zone is crucial and should be honored whenever possible.

Have a break, have a gak chat.

I mostly do not care about spelling but when I see someone spells the words dying, tying or anything like that like this "dieing". Drives me nuts.
