Little things that annoy you.

Not talking about major things just the things that makes you ask why? To start it off why do they put handles on doors you have to push to open. You can't use it but you still try or is it just me.

[bearded bloke]

The handle on the push side is there so that you can pull it closed on exiting the building/room

[Glutton4...]

We already have a 'Minor Rant Thread' for these 'little' annoyances!

Here ya go - this'll keep ya busy;

I was just there as well G4

[Glutton4...]

People who drive in rain or at dusk, or both WITH NO RUDDY LIGHTS ON!!!!! One of which, was an AA Learner with an instructor beside them at 7pm FFS!

Drivers (with lights on, so presumably that makes it ok ) who 'just keep right on going' - despite their road being the minor, and 'my' road being the main one. I ended up pulling over on to the right-hand side, on a blind right-hand bend, as the idiot pulled out in front of me. They ended up skidding about six car's lengths in the wet slime before coming to a stop. There's a reason Ma Nature gave you eyes. PILLOCK!

I made no rude gesture (not that they'd have seen if I had, as it was nearly dark) and I didn't sound my horn, so why did you see fit to follow me and drive slowly past, glaring at me as I pulled on to my driveway? Good job you didn't stop and open your window...

I'm still ruddy seething. Not for me, or even my ruddy car - I had the Dogs in the back.

I can understand having a handle if you need to pull it shut and dont mind those. Its the ones that shut themselves so no need for a handle. My office is full of them and you feel like a twit when you try and pull them open.

Ah,IIRC the Fire Regulations say they have to be fitted to self closing doors in case the closers fail,we need a chippy or an H&S officer for more input

[Glutton4...]

Either it's available for Rent, or it isn't - make yer ruddy mind up.

The fact that my car won't let me move it without my seatbelt on. I always always wear my seatbelt but if I want to reverse off the drive so I can Hoover the car I don't expect to have to put my eat belt on to do it.. Especially as you don't legally have to have your seat belt on to reverse!

I annoys me at least once a fortnight.. Less in the winter.

And also, talking about fire regulations. Which bright spark decided to make every fire extinguisher red?

And why is that the doors into coffee shops push inwards; your hands are empty then. But when you've got your mitts full of hot take away coffee cups you suddenly find you have to pull the door to get out?

Come on you lot - Miss Whiplash may no longer be here to do the 'thread-shuffle-and-merge' thang, but someone will merge it...

The coloured bands tell you which to use

[veggiechicken]

I haven't passed my test on "merging" yet - you'll have wait for a real Mod to come along

Would that be me then?
