Two diverse ones:
The modern PC use of the word "challenging" instead of "difficult".I guess it was first used in schools so as not to upset the little darlings but it's now spread everywhere,used several times in every news bulletin.

Speed bumps...OK some are justified but there are some in my vicinity,on the public road, that are vicious to the extent that even going over at 10 mph feels too fast.
I'd like to get whoever designed them and make him drive over them at 30 mph a few times and laugh at the damage caused to his car...and his back!!

Some great ones here.

Agreed about poncy coffee. I want a "small" black strong coffee. Not a "grande" or what ever poncy name there is now, not iced as its fecking coffee, with cow milk, no croissants or other sh1t or I would have asked for one and no you cant have my name.

Although there is definite sport to be had in giving a completely spurious name to the barista, who than has to shout "skinny latte for Bojangles" or some such....

Overuse of the word "totally" and even worse when people shorten it to "Totes".

If only we could swap out the pint glass he's holding and replace with a Starbucks triple grande fudge packer surprise ( available until 31st December at participating stores) with the name Insufferable Twat emblazoned on it.

BMW satnav "in X hundred yards, keep right".

Hmm, I'm on the motorway, in light traffic, and the first rule of the road in the UK is keep left.

Why would I want to keep right ?

Useless.

What we need is a system for cars driven by fucktards : "there is a BMW approaching, keep left".

Especially ones that block an entire lane of traffic one way. What the fuck is that all about... certainly can't be great to have all these cars idling unnecessarily!

In the morning if I'm going to the office i pass through a number of villages with these and the queues that back up (thankfully in opposite direction to me normally) are crazy.

And I'm sure I read that there's now a number of studies showing that speed bumps have cost more lives than they've saved over the years due to slower ambulance and emergency vehicles, and an increase in pollution and particles in the air due to increases braking and accelerating.

Here we go part 2
Hose pipes that kink.
People who feel the need to read the menu out loud in restaurants. I can fecking read!
People who say to my wife 'you're so lucky being slim' she's not lucky she runs and cycles 100's of miles monthly and takes care of herself you fat bastards.
People who smoke, you are killing yourselves and you know it, but here's the rub for me, we will have to pay for their healthcare until they slowly fade away.
Drivers who overtake me when I'm cycling then immediately turn left.
Drivers who shout while I'm cycling 'pay road tax' really.........
Fat people who just cannot loose weight no matter how hard they try. Lying greedy bastards.
Dog owners who buy a puppy, don't socialise/exercise it, then moan when it's out of control and fat.
People at work who wear lanyards to support under represented groups. Look you are just trying to get promoted, stop embarrassing yourselves and get some work done you left wing waste of space tossar.
All the fat people who will be in the gym in January, who will last a few days after a few pathetic attempts at working out. Go back to the sofa fatty and put the plastic weight back on your way out.
People who criticise the emergency services, military and medical professionals because yes you are an expert in all of those complex fields and clearly life and critical decision making comes so naturally to you. You yes you should be president of the world. Fucktard
Why do the press interview the biggest fucktard they can find in a street when a murder occurs. With the classic line. ' nothing like that has ever happened around here before, it's a nice neighbourhood' Really it's in Birmingham are you blind and deaf! Oh yes and they are usually fat and have peado glasses on.
People who walk around the supamarket guarding their groceries like they are gold in case someone nicks them. You don't own them yet, why walk around with it glued to your hip. FFS
I'm done for now.

I think there's a theme here......

100% on the Road Tax one - neither do you, you stupid, lazy fat fucktards, it's VED and it's about how much your vehicle pollutes, which in the case of my bike is 'not at all'. Morons. And besides, my good bike cost more than your beige Volvo or chav-tastic shite-heap Corsa with its stupid dustbin exhaust and 0-60 in two weeks performance....

And breathe....

Anyone who eats on a train. They should also be shot in the face. Or if you eat crisps on the train you should be shot in the testicles.

People who 'swear down'. What is that? Looking at the pavement and muttering profanity?

Pigeons. Pineapple. Passwords. PEOPLE.

...wow I feel better for that.
Shooting in the testicles is all to quick, whereas crushing, well one can take ones own time and ensue that pain is extended.

I was watching one of those extreme police response programmes last night.

Ex-con, just released from HMP for kidnapping, known to the police for drugs offences. Overtakes on a long straight road but mis-judges the relative speed and distance of oncoming traffic. Hits the cars he was overtaking and the oncoming vehicles; rolls the car into a field and into a tree.

He survives. No-one else seriously injured.

So...??

A branch of the tree went through the car and castrated him. Both testicles.

Now that's a lesson well learnt.

I almost wish bikes were included in the tax banding to shut the morons up. And when it is included, oh luck the yearly tax is £0 because there is NO EMISSIONS.

I hate the fact that Idiots who claim this car tax nonsense are the ones who drive dangerously near cyclists becuase they feel they don't have a right to be on the road.

While we are on the subject then....

Cyclists - who you overtake and then when you stop at the lights they squeeze down the inside and get to the front so you have to overtake the tw*ts again

Self righteous t*its who think they are special because they go to the gym so they can tell everyone....

People who complain about others using the NHS but indulge in running, cycling or other sports that could just as easily result in them being a long term burden on the system....

Those that cant see there are two sides to every argument

In a similar vein to the above.

Fuckwits that go out in the hills without decent kit, without any planning, that have the gear but no idea, etc... that then need rescued by SAR or Mountain rescue because they are utter fuckwits and should not be allowed out of the house.

People actually get rescued that are wearing fucking flip flops!

Oh and adults that do not wear cycle helmets when out on their bike etc, you find the odd fuckwit on trails without a helmet, however they do get a firm talking to about being a fuckwit.

Cyclists that do not use lights or wear bright clothing etc, if you are hit in poor visibility, it's your fucking fault - Darwins.

Horse riders that wear brown, dark green jackets etc and not high viz - fucking idiots.

Drivers that do not slow down for horses - utter fuckwits and oxygen thieves.

Lack of a death sentence, there should be capital punishment in the U.K. I don't care if we have the odd innocent going down, such is life, just means we can get rid of some seriously warped individuals. It would mainly apply to those warped people. Screen them on TV, with Xfactor for new executioner or pick how they die. Would recoup plenty cash.

Religion. Especially the one we mustn't mention.
Remainers telling Brexiters they made the wrong decision. Errm, do you not understand what democracy means ?
The group who must also not be mentioned vacating the field or wherever they've parked their caravans / untaxed vehicles leaving a huge mess behind that the local taxpayer has to sort out.
People who cant differentiate between the use of have/of (already mentioned)

Festive cheer to all not in the above categories
