What do you hate?

[MidnightFlyer]

We haven't had one of these in a while. I'll get you started:

Celtic FC, ITV, the Labour Party. Anybody else?

 

[N Levers]

People with Usernames formed of a 4 letter name followed by a single vowel followed by a even 4 digit number divisible by 1005


Kidding

 

[strange6]

Harriet Harman, hypocrites, backstabbers and the smell of fish

 

[ainsworth74]

The heat!

 

[strange6]

The heat!

especially if there's fish about

 

[GNER 373]

Kerry Katona, Katie Price, Jade Goody and all other talentless 'celebrities' that are just people like everyone else but have the ability to act like total ***** and be lauded by the idiotic 'general public' in this country- in fact people who idolise such 'heroes' are even worse! Also most of the British press and again the 'sheep' who fall for such sensationalism!

Boils my....water!

good quote from a good man


I hate nimby;s especially the ones that stopped the wind turbines behind my house on an old coal mine in a muddy brick filled field.

I hate people who slag stuff off without understanding (railways is one of them)

The media. Sterotypes and posh people at uni who look down there very stuck up nose at me.

by the way thats a very shortened version :P

 

[90019]

People.

People.

Hahaha!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

National weather broadcasters who say.....and here in the South-East

Class 142 Pacers.

Chavs and chavettes.

 

[Eng274]

People who don't understand the necessity of H&S in the rail industry, and those who can't even read a departures board properly - one of my mates needed to be told that his train wasn't calling at "Manchester Airport, Haymarket, Lockerbie, Carlisle...." they're different colours and size text for pete's sake :roll:. Heart of Midlothian FC. Tourists who walk at snail's pace.

This.

On the flip side, (not arguing your point at all here) I loathe the many SMEs out there who claim silly amounts of public funds for useless "green" energy products, such as shoddily planned/designed wind turbines of 30cm diameter on the side of buildings - in a built up area, where winds simply do not exist to ever pay for itself.

The Edinburgh trams. thankfully the councillors have finally waken up and smelt the asphalt, and realised that maybe the population should be polled to decide the outcome of the project - I do not have it in me to grant them a 'hooray'.

The american coffee culture that has been embraced too readily over here. Perhaps it's because I'm a tea drinker and can't understand the glee in having a range of coffees containing varying degrees of heart disease/diabetes. (I like mine's strong, with a spot of milk, no sugar if anyone's making )

Inconsiderate dog owners, people who leave full rubbish bags in the stairwell which attracts vermin.. I am otherwise a joyful character when these things don't grind my gears!

 

[Kernowfem]

Ill mannered people, spitting, idiot drivers, (those in the minority of) photographers who make rail enthusiasts life hell by tutting loudly, telling you to move and barging you out of the way like you have no right to be there.

Animal and child cruelty, tennis and the smell of beer

 

[ralphchadkirk]

People who think a heart attack and a cardiac arrest are the same thing.

Is that it Ralph? Blimey....any more laid back you'd be on the floor.

Makes me look like a whining old bag

Yep, that's it really! Nothing much bothers me - unless I'm in a bad mood!

 

[LE Greys]

• Arrogant idiots who think that they are the only person entitled to an opinion (or as they call it, fact)
• People who will never admit that they are wrong about anything, even when arguing that black is white
• Anyone who thinks that money can buy status
• The free market
• Useless electronic systems that replace what a simple mechanical control could do at a fraction of the cost
• Heathrow Express (because they charge exorbitant prices for using their branch. Nationalise them!!!!!!!!)
• Arriva Voyagers
• All types of Desiro
• 90% of cars
• Personal stereos
• Prolefeed media
• Any music that cannot be played without speakers
• The idiot who (wrongly) called me a "faggot" the other day because I was wearing a hat

 

[T163R]

People and kids. Muahahaha.

 

[12CSVT]

1) People who think it is acceptable to hurl abuse at railway staff just because their train is a few minutes late

2) People who parachute their way into railway management positions without having worked up the grades (no wonder half the mangers these days don't understand how the railways work)

...and buses, especially when the timetable is a work of fiction and you can never tell where they are going (like the driver today who had his destination blind blank)

 

[Hydro]

Everything. Utterly everything.

 

[Flamingo]

Passengers who think that their lack of preparation is my problem.

 

[Hydro]

Oh, something that really gets on my tits is people who press their faces up against the train window to look inside when we stop. 1) I don't like being gawped at, and 2) they get the wrong impression that all I do is eat sweets and watch TV programmes on my laptop with a surprised expression on my fizz. That only happens when we stop. And sometimes when we're moving.

I know the feeling. For some reason, whenever I take a break at the MHR to have a cuppa the same set rolls in, and the impression all the traincrew get is that I sit around drinking tea! Actually, that may be partially true though...

 

[Yew]

the village of Ravenshead, the fact that there is no English parliament, our fractured and broken railway system (seriously, go for a 'Big Four' arrangement, or a 'British rail arrangement') and Napier Turbochargers


Oh, and pacers, and how EMT skimped on their super sprinter refurb

 

[ACE1888]

Ex Wives..well dislike mainly...
Rangers FC
'Cool Dudes'
People who think they're better than everyone else(and try to let you know the fact)
Bull****ters
Derek Pringle (the worst Ex England cricketer EVER)
Politicians
Seagulls (Rats with wings)
Rap (and any other sh*te music)
'Nuff to be going on with tonight....

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Some more for mine:

• Burnley
• People who use the word 'lol'
• The '' smilie
• Travelodges
• Steam engines
• Booking office clerks who don't know where Welwyn North is
• Light rail
• Communism
• Luton
• Rugby (the sport)
• F1

and how EMT skimped on their super sprinter refurb

It's not that bad!

Rangers FC

I think you'll find that you are outnumbered at that level on here

 

[ainsworth74]

Sorry

Though I didn't actually press my face up to the window more sort of stood a feet away or so from the window and looked in...

 

[Hydro]

That's alright, there are people who properly press against the window, with hands framing around their faces to block the glare. I turn around and nearly soil myself in surprise, and they just keep staring in! One day I'm going to walk around in my underwear with a "What are you looking at?" expression.

Some more for mine:

Goodness, communism to light rail! Surprising that you hate light rail, it is not really practical to run HSTs around pedestrians!!
Trams are a vast improvement on buses....
