"The things we hate"

saw this a while back on another forum, and just thought it might be good here...

like: motors who speed up to overtake you and suddenly turn left, got to be my worst at the mo....

Surface rust on my bb.

Hmm, there are plenty of things about riding in London that piss me off, but I suppose we must all think that the pros outweigh the cons. That's why I started a 'things we all love' thread on that other forum.

yes, your are right, i nearly got side swiped this morning, so wasn't feeling very loving, and the english do like to moan ;^)

It's all good, hate away. Just as long as you love to hate

amplified whispering at the end of tv adverts
badly made macchiatos
nodding donkey fluro commuters in low gears who move infront of you at red lights

+1 to that had some guy doing that this morning he was wobbaling all over the place.

MrSmith: I echo your last two points (although 'cino not macchiato) but don't have a TV so dunno about the first one.
What else.. Letsee.. airfares to Australia, airfares to anywhere at xmas (especially Australia!), waiting for clothes to dry in cold weather, changing skidded out tyres knowing I should just stop fscking around and save the rubber, all cars within 20k of London, all cars with one passenger and no goods on-board, people with more money than me, having no showers at work so I have to sponge down and change in a toilet cubicle, surgery, shite Aussie beer, football (AFL and soccer and bum sniffing), people who steal stuff, taxes, property prices, property talk, taking 3hrs to get 10k to Heathrow by pubic transport, tight undies, english people correcting me whenever I pronounce anything like an Aussie, my own lack of motivation, the lack of pancakes in London, bendy buses, airport security procedures, mess (even though it's my fault), the fact that I have 50 things to do at work and yet I'm typing this huge list instead! I think I should stop now.. maybe see someone for some professional help.. ;-)

you're pretty stressed for a hippy!

i think hippy has singlehandedly covered this whole topic in one single rant....;^)

I am 'the' hippy not 'a' hippy. There's no peace with me - it started as a long hair/stoner look thing.

Oh, I didn't even mention the tube, or waiting for buses, or.. or.. :)

i dont agree with the bendy buses.....They're FREE!!!

I sense much anger in you.....

Oh and I hate paying for bendy buses and then watching 20 other people get on with swiping their oyster cards.. ;)

Shit.

Pretty much. I'd say it was one of the greatest websites of all time.

Something similar happened to me. My life flashed before my eyes.

I crashed into the back of one. Drunk.
It came out of nowhere, honest.....

potholes, pedestrians and pillocks

Camfskingpag headsets that never stay tight, saddle sores, not being able to watch pr0n when the gf's around, people who think they're faster than me, people who are faster than me, the fact that i should be in bed now but i'm typing this crap and i'm gonna be even sh1ttier tomorrow because of it, having a memory like a sieve, being the sexiest guy on the planet but remaining faithful (i slipped that in for some light humour yeah? success?), wanting to drive a ferrari at 300kph but not doing so because i'm a 'bike person', picking fscking grapes for cash, leg warmers that fall down, hard drives that fail, pop music, r&b, c&w, pidgeons, brain disorders, paying over-inflated prices for concert tickets on ebay off fsckers that were never going, looking like a dag when i ride because i don't like doing the rolled up jeans hipster thing and am more roadie than trendy, stuffed toys (that aren't mine), excess packaging, not having a recycling bin, junk mail, damn! forgetting to swap trashed tyres phew! but realising your doing a tt on your road bike tomorrow so it doesn't matter..

I don't hate anything. I am totally lovin' it.
