I too hate websites where the shipping is almost as much as the item you want to order.  I REALLY hate it when you have to go through multiple checkout screens before you can see the shipping cost!

I hate finding small lost parts just after I gave up searching and made a second one.

I hate web sites with "View larger!" links on their product images, which load the same tiny, fuzzy image I was just looking at.

Those must be the miniature or toy ones.

Standard poodles are great.
I had to teach mine to bark when people came to the house.
She never barked when she was outside.

It's a toy poodle - it's my wife's dog and barks at anything that moves with a particularly high pitched sound that really grates.  We also have a deer hound - that virtually never barks but when it does you can feel your chest vibrate ;-)

You'd think so wouldn't you but the poodle seems to be top dog  :shrug:

The deer hound looks intimidating and can easily pull you off your feet but that mostly happens when it's running away from something as it's the biggest chicken you can imagine  :Lol:

Hi

Driving standards

People who don't use indicators  :Mad:

People who park over the white line and take up 2 parking bays  :Mad:

Tailgaters  :Mad:

I'd better stop now cos it may get too much

Cheers

I had to remove a couple of responses due to political comments, let's not go there guys  :facepalm2:


My pet hates?? People who think that there is only ONE right way, theirs. Where as in reality, in most events and choices in life, there are usually many "Right" ways to accomplish a task, and it is up to each person to decide what is "Right" for them.

Oh and Cucumbers, broccoli, onions, tomatos and mushrooms, but then I'm just strange about what I eat.  :lolb:

The fact I can't do my own taxes.

When I'm told what dinner will be in the morning...and think about it all day...only to have it changed when I get home.

Wine dregs. For two reasons...the dregs...and the lack of wine.

Finding out my cocktail onions are gone...and it wasn't me that took the last.

Hair in my food.

The smell of baking and being told I can't have any.

Being told to go to bed when I'm already asleep.

The end of excellent dreams.

Idiots of all kinds...especially when I discover it's sometimes me.

Thieves.

When I give in to going to the movies but am told I shouldn't have the popcorn.

Interruptions.

Topics like this that remind me of all the crap we deal with every day. (That's a joke son.)

Remembering things like being there when we became 50 states, various 'events' in our history, and classic movies...and no one knows what I'm talking about.

I'd better stop. If this were the dinner table I'd get the old "there goes Dad again".

Hi

I have a few of them and most should be posted anonymously. This one just came to mind reading some of the posts here.

Posters not reading their posts before hitting the send key.

I could go on but I'll stop there.

Cheers  :cheers:

I have the most wonderful image in my mind of Carl teaching his poodle to bark. Thanks for that.

Rich, I get the odd tailgater on my rural road. I generally slow down, it's too narrow to overtake.
