PH, "You dont want to know" when we asked for the answer...

But seriously, yes I want to know.

Ladies' toilet cubicles that don't have a hook to hang a handbag / coat / whatever. The ones in public 'conveniences' are the worst. Do they think women want to put their bags on the floor amongst all that grot?

I throw my coat over the door, but handbag really is a problem.

IF there's loo paper, one could put some on the floor and stand the on it, but it would probably get wet.

Throwing the coat over the door has the advantage that you can signal that the cubicle is occupied - those kind of toilets only rarely have locks that actually work!

On the same topic: PH: loos where you have to climb over the loo to open/shut the door, and those hot air blowers for "drying" your hands.

and if everything was OK until then, you get out and find they only have 50 paper towels left and all of them are on the floor.

I didn't say "you don't want to know," I merely asked for clarification that you did.

In any case, WPSBUA means When People Speak By Using Acronyms.

This isn't a petty hate as such, but I just passed someone eating a baked potato topped with curry and cheese. What's that about? This comes from a baked potato stall which is open every day, so it's a choice from their meu.

when I'm driving to work and the lights next to the sliproad onto the autobahn are red... the eejits that don't close up so the cars turning right can get onto the autobahn.

Curry and cheese on a baked potato? Nommage!

I'm getting really sick of people who insist on slamming their brakes on instead of just slowing down gradually when I'm driving on the city bypass. The knock-on effect of everyone else having to brake does more harm than good, but these twonks just can't see it

Been noticing an increasing trend of people parking their cars on the pavement. Not parallel to the road, but right ACROSS the pavement. It's very annoying if I'm jogging because it means I have to step out into the road. It's been pointed out to me that if someone is pushing a pushchair they'd have to step out into the road too and put themselves and their children at risk. Is this illegal?

At least you can see the car. This is a real problem for people who are blind and also wheelchair users.

run over the car making sure to stamp on the roof

PP,

"This is a real problem for people who are blind and also wheelchair users."

In most cases these public menaces drive wheelchairs made by Mercedes.

I like having chicken curry, cheese, beans and garlic butter in baked potatoes. Not sure whether other people like it or not though

Pingu, I´m with you there.
Sedret tip: find yourself an eatery where they don´t pack all of it into one potato. Or have the blacksmith hobnail your tastebuds.(Might school food have beaten him to it?)

People who appear to be incapable of following clear, simple, uncomplicated instructions, and instead go off on irrelevant tangents, all the while whingeing about how they don't understand any of the tangential stuff that hasn't anything to do with the aforementioned instructions

Man, ain't that the truth! I know at least one of them...their presence turns an eight-hour day into a week.

- your boss, KB? Manly .

Not my boss - a co-worker brought in to "lighten my workload". It's only the humour in that idea that keeps me sane!
