Curiosity got the better of me. There was a short youtube clip. FFS people actually watch that for entertainment :confused::eek:

I'm the same with Steve Martin and also the only female actor from the North - Sarah Lancashire.
Both rubbish.

Sorry to be a dense old fogey, but who exactly are they?

You are not alone !

As I get older I am becoming like Victor Meldrew. People just annoy me. For example..

People who stop to chat in the middle of the pavement or a supermarket aisle meaning I have to walk around them

People who walk around not looking where they are going as they are looking at their phone so I have to move out of their way to avoid walking into them. This happens at Palace a lot in the concourse or leaving the ground when they slow down to text.

Drivers not indicating at a junction or roundabout.

People talking loudly on their phones on a train. They always start by saying "I'm on the train". Don't I ******* know it the whole train can hear you!

Plenty more I could add. I need to go and live on a desert island somewhere

I'm with you on all this!

Walk right through them middle of them saying "excuse me!" really loudly.


Stop right in front of them and pretend youre sending a text message and let them walk right into you.

Follow them, pull up alongside and tell them very politely that you think the bulb has blown on the indicator.

Join in the conversation.

The grifters may be an exception to that rule

I don't think it's getting older, I think we're increasingly surrounded by self-centred ****wits and exhibitionists who aren't taught basic manners by their parents.

Agree but I think getting older makes tolerance levels smaller

Probably why I feel a violent rage every time I hear a certain phone advert on the radio (O2 I think), in which some stupid lady shouts 'laters bye' at the top of her voice. If it's followed by the pathetic NatWest advert with Alison Hammond I might spontaneously combust. Why is it everything is so dumbed down these days?

Selling a car (my old campervan) privately for the first time.... getting right peed off with the ludicrous responses now. Actually lost sleep over one cantankerous dealing at the last failed hurdle yesterday.

The amount of dogshit on the pavement and in parks these days. I know most owners are fine and clear up after their dogs but there are quite a few who don’t. Seems worse since the pandemic, I guess more people have dogs now.

I've put this on here more than once :p

Lucy Liu reached the Victor Meldrew Point* yesterday

*The VMP is the age of Richard Wilson when the first episode aired on TV (19,537 days old... or about 53yo)

Heathrow not putting enough people on security this morning.

It’s usually the arse holes that take their dog out in the dark when less people are about to see them and also the one’s that have their dog off lead and walk about 50 yards in front of the dog so they don’t have to look when the dog is crapping,
I’ve even see two idiots walk their dogs while on mobility scooters the poor dog has to trot everywhere and I’ve even seen it poop whilst running to keep up

Agree that the amount of dog turds everywhere is annoying. I'm a bit sick of telling the kids "look out for dog turds!" when they're running around a park, it should be a clean space for everyone, not a convenient toilet for selfish dog owners.

What about the twats who pick up the turds and then hang the bag on a convenient tree branch or chuck it in the bush by the side of my house. Like someone said, they probably do it in the dark so that no-one has a pop at them. Selfish twats.

Exactly this. In my local park you often see poo bags hanging on the fence for the basketball court or the shrubs nearby. Scummers.
