You ever wasted time looking at For sale boards on forums and Facebook, etc where people will then write "sold"
Why?????????????????
Why can't they simply delete the advert?

Almost as annoying as people who put general posts in the bike chat section..... ;-)

Well one answer is that interested parties who were actively considering buying might like to know it was sold rather than just disappearing.
Some boards have a format in the title so it's easy to split expired items.
If I was bidding or wanted to buy something I think I'd like to know it was gone rather than simply have if disappear.
Agree with Ducatista, also better 'sold' in the title thread title than in the thread itself. Now that is really annoying!
Simple - you can't delete a for sale ad on here or edit the title so that's the only thing you can do now 😜

Companies/Businesses which proudly display the 'Investors in People' logo plaque mounted on a conspicuous wall in their plush reception area, whilst half their employees (if that is the right word) are on 'zero hours contracts'
Apologies, I have just noticed that this is not the non-bike section and I seem unable to delete the post (probably me). James or admins feel free to move or remove as you see fit.

And double negatives drive me insane!
"I haven't done nothing!"
If you've not done "nothink" then you must've done "sumfink"

Non nodders! Even if I'm having a bad day a simple nod to a fellow biker costs nothing..
FYI if I've ever nodded at you and you blanked me...chances are that I called you a C#@$! :p

I don't know, people who can't spell......
Micheal \m(i)-cheal (http://www.thinkbabynames.com/ending/1/al)\ as a boy's name has the meaning "who is like God?" and is a variant of Michael (http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Michael) (Hebrew), biblical: Michael is the archangel who defeats the dragon.
:p

Loves this thread - really enjoy a good moan. I've got loads of annoying things to share. What about this one for now;
People who say, "I've got a secret, but I can't say what it is." Expecting you to reply with an, "Oh please tell me what it is." I always respond in such instances with, "Best keep it to yourself then, see you later." Lol

God yes. I live by a school so have the school run on my doorstep twice a day. The cars with these signs are almost always the most badly driven. Infact from delivery riding I rekon the only thing driven worse than people carriers with those signs in the back are mini cabs.
Texters, cyclists, most car drivers, most van drivers, most lorry drivers, most drivers....
At work it's those who speak and/or type LOUDLY! Wish I was back on the tools sometimes as you could throw spanners at them.

This one really bugs me when I go shopping. Hate shopping at the best of times. Shoppers who block aisles with their trollies in the supermarkets having a good old gossip. Trollies should be fitted with horns.

I was in Costco and pushed someone's trolley out of the way.
They turned around and said "In a hurry are we?"
Uh, yeah I f*#%ing am actually and I don't need inconsiderate gits like you slowing me down!

People who but in when you are talking to someone else and do not know the full story, then get it all wrong and you have to start over again 😒
People who continuously do 50 on a single carriageway when its national speed limit.

people who do 45 on a dual carriageway and then speed up when a lorry over takes. then they slow down and continue to do 45 in a 30 zone!
Also people who go to overtake on small dual carriageway sections (up hill normally) and only go 1 mph faster than the other vehicle so no one else can get pass!
The highly reflective low level speed limit signs them seem to have put just around every bend that dazzle you at night.
Lycra clad gaylord cyclists. Especially the ones that think it's ok to ride two abreast

As a young lad I was allowed to help put up the Xmas decorations for the first time. I knelt on a drawing pin with all my weight...that made the eyes water !

Nipping off to the local Asda with a bit of a thirst quencher in mind.
Only to find the 1L bottle of Smirnoff for £15 shelf...... empty.....
Russian standard vodka is £10 for 70cl at Sainsburys :D
And so not to be off topic
Cyclists and anything horse related on the roads
Cyclists and anything horse related on the roads
Agreed, I went round a nice tight bend near Netheravon recently, proceeded to hit a massive pile of horse crap and low sided.
how about following a car on a rideout and the car washes it's windscreen.. then you get a facefull of sticky visor smearing screenwash...Grrrr....
I have had to use the car since early SepTember as my bike is off the road.
I hadn't noticed before but, this is what really annoys me.
You sit in traffic at lights or in a quee and people in cars are unwilling to use their handbrake.
They insist on blasting the person behind with their brake lights for upto 5 minutes.
Why are people so lazy?
Grrrrrr.....!
Not lazy just bad drivers, they don't know how to hold the car on the clutch
That's me! I've got an auto and can't be arsed to pop it into Park, just easier to hold it on the brake, super bright LED brake lights as well ��

That is annoying, especially on a tyre that looks like it's got plenty of life left. Fingers crossed your local tyre guys can plug it, looks in right place and fairly clean. You still off to Wales on Crimbo Eve?
You still off to Wales on Crimbo Eve?
I am, I have a spare wheel with an old tyre on it, the thing loses air slowly but should get me up the M4 if I stop and pump it occasionally. I'll sort the holed one out in the New Year, I'm always really dubious about plugging tyres but I think this time I'll just do it the amount of wear left in that tyre would be a shame to toss it and I can't afford to replace it anyway right now.
Seems to be a seasonal thing I had the same happen last year day before I went to Wales and ended up riding there with 12PSI in my rear tyre.
