h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Following a rant in the office just now, I thought that I should provide an outlet for all the times you want to say "I hate it when...".

Here goes....

I hate it when you go to the loo and someone has cleared their throat and left a huge glob of phlegm in the urinal which won't go down the plughole. Gives you something to do though

~Greebo scurries off feeling sick~

Me hates when me reads something that makes me scurry off feeling sick... ~sorrowful grin~

Computers maliciously refuse to do what is well within their power and - WORK!!!







I feel cleansed!

Dammit, you could have warned us first. Now I have that picture in my mind.

Sorry about that Dharmesh, but when you cough it up it has to go somewhere...

I hate it when the H2G2 database decides to give up and go for a cup of tea when I'm half way through writing an entry





By the way, dharmesh, you don't often post anything, but when you do, it's a corker

Now quick folks, post another 15 things you hate, just to get to the next page

Talking of urinals though, I hate it when you go for a p**s in the pub and some a*******e next to you blatantly takes a look at your knob.

I reeeaaallly hate that one.

You jinxed it!

I just got signed out!

I hate it when you accidently iron a crease in something you are ironing (however lightly) and it becomes the most stubborn crease that no amount of ironing afterwards seems to put right.

... you have an itch on your back that you just can't reach....

...when I go for a shower in the morning and find my lodger's hairs blocking the plughole.

...when I finish my shower in a morning and find my *own* hairs blocking the plug hole

Yes but your own aren't so disgusting are they? Also by the fact that you found them presumably means that you remove them yourself

No... it means I'm going bald. (You know it's just not funny if you have to explain it)

Ahh, soz

cyclists in London think that traffic signals don't apply to them and plough through pedestrians trying to cross on Pelican crossings. I used to feel sorry for cyclists as I felt that they had a rough deal with car drivers etc, but I stopped long ago when I realised that they were for the most part just as selfish as the afore mentioned car drivers.

...pedestrians who think they can just swan across the road on our campus without looking to see if bicycles or cars are coming. Especially when even when they see you, they just stroll anyhow.

I use to feel sorry for them but they're just as selfish...

Orcus I was talking about red lights there - can you just explain to me why they don't apply to cyclists?

Oh and the reason why they swan across? Cos they know that according to the Highway Code they have ultimate right of way!

Awww Abi, don't be angry
I was only gently teasing...

Of course they do. But the rules of the road also say that pedestrians shouldn't scare the crap out of oncoming drivers by just wandering out in front of them without looking.
This does persistently annoy me almost every day around here.

They may have the ultimate right of way is preferrable to potential injury and death is it?
