Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[hellkat]

I feel your pain.

I've got ORDINARY shopping to do, but the shops are full of grabbing panicking barging ignorant wankers.

I hope the rooves of their collective shopping malls spontaneously combust and collapse inwards causing huge and painful life-changing internal damage to each and every one of them. And their squalling over-indulged brats.

Not today but yesterday it really annoyed several of us to see large amounts of fly tipped rubbish out and about in the countryside.If it takes a journey to drive out into the middle of nowhere,why not take that same rubbish to the local council recycling centre?

I used to help a mate with his own van. He had a light haulage business, mostly working out of an auction house, sometimes doing house moves., We'd also do clearances - charge to take stuff away, flog stuff, then take the rest to a commercial tip and pay someone to get rid of it, but then the powers that be introduced licenses and my mate stopped doing it, cos he is a cash in hand kinda guy and it wasn't his main job, basically honest as the day is long as long as it's after the autumn equinox

this means that those left doing house clearances are either completely legit, or completely not legit, the cash in hand economy of blokes doing some jobs on the side whilst disposing of stuff properly has gone

[Diggs]

The only bloke I know who does house-clearances has a conviction for sitting in a tree looking through bedroom windows. I don't know where he takes his rubbish, but I do know where he throws his muck....

dad used to do a few house clearances and a bit of rubbish removal

until the council started charging £30 to tip on the nearest trade waste site

this was 30 miles away so 60 mile round trip +and van expenses

so that was now 50 quid to remove waste before he even made any money himself even more if it was heavy stuff and needed a extra person

the local pikeys will do it for twenty

I have to have a tip permit for my van and car, there is ANPR on the gate and if an unpermitted vehicle rolls in, the tip
blokes have pagers and they get a text of your reg and come over to ensure you respect their rubbish tip authoritah.
Usually no permit means sling your hook and your vanload of crap in the nearest lane if you are a typical caravan utilising
nomadic traveller. The laybys and lanes round here get targetted often by such delightful folk.

Technically I'm not allowed to chuck trade waste and in the van I always get the beady eye on me, permit or not.
So I'm just constantly doing up a part of my house as far as they are concerned, got all the plasterboard offcuts and a
few bags of general rubbish to go from the pole studio job. I get 12 tip visits per year per vehicle, and if they want to get
bolshy about it, a 10 bag limit per visit. So I like to try and get rid of as big a vanload as I can hurriedly slung off before
the 'what's in the back' brigade turn up.

A bloke in the park pulls up behind the dog and I, walking at our usual slow pace, on his shitty mountain bike.
There's grass either side of us so he can easily get past but he starts ringing his bell, yes, a fucking bell.
The dog isn't moving out of the way because she's as deaf as a post.
He carries on with the bloody bell until I turn around and ask, 'Doesn't your mountain bike cope with flat grass?'
I could have got out of the way but bollocks to him.

That thing women do where they are all nicey nicey with each other and anyone else in range even though they hate each other. Its frankly wierd s#1t. I hate it. It's twisted negative behaviour. But because its women then it's labelled "feminine whiles etc"! Bulls#it! Its just grim nasty manipulative and creepy. Its probably responsible for more problems in society throughout history than we will ever be allowed to consider. Totally grinds my GEARS!!

[hellkat]

No its not.
Its called being polite and non-confrontational.

Why would we say "Fuck off out of my trolley, you donut-thieving pie-eating bitch"
When we can say "Excuse me, I believe that was *my* dozen bag of Krispy Kreme donuts that you just put into your trolley, I'm sure you must be mistaken".

Life is stressful enough without having to be honest about what ugly shitboxes we believe most other human beings to be.

After you pig fucker
No no, I insist, age before beauty you neanderthal munter.

I mean how does that sound?
Its not a nice way to behave, is it.

Be nice.
Save insults for really important handbaggings.

People getting angry about the new Star Wars Film. I'm a huge fanboy and I loved it. I have no problem with people not liking it but some people are apoplectic asif they are owed a film they like. Actual full grown adults having tantrums/signing petitions/declaring it has 'Ruined' Star Wars. The original films are still there, no one has taken them away from you.
