Angry Ram Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Spent hours on trains in London today.. One thing really got on my nerves.. People who wear socks that either don't match their shoes or trousers.. Grey trousers, red socks and black shoes ffs. Some people should just be put down.. Better for all of us.

JoetheRam Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Socks should match trousers, not shoes. Shoes match with your belt. Anyway... Folk who type work e-mails in comic sans or bauhaus or some other bullshit font. You work for a FTSE 100 listed company, have some standards. Should be a sackable offence. See also; use of smileys. Sending birthday cards/christmas cards/new baby cards/new job cards/driving test pass cards to work colleagues. Our office has about 30 people in it, so it's someone's birthday every other week. Worse still is the inevitable "collection" envelope that gets passed around. This guy is on 70 grand a year - why am I putting in a couple of quid because his wife is having a baby? Big birthday, leaving after serving more than a 5 year sentence, retirement fair enough. The rest can ********. Remastered video games. Nothing screams studio with no new ideas/cash cow than the release of the same game with slightly enhanced visuals for fifty five quid. Children in Need. Wogan, and Lenny Henry? Need I say more.

Just a nod of the head would suffice, not asking for a tip or anything. I once said exactly this to a good man I once knew. He replied that if I was stopping in order to be thanked that I was doing it for the wrong reason. I've never forgotten that comment.

By stopping, I'm acknowledging I've seen someone waiting to cross, a courtesy if you like, an acknowledgement of that courtesy shouldn't be too much to ask should it ? That said, I once held a door open for the person following me into a department store, it happened to be a lady who told me she was quite capable of opening a door for herself. The older I get, the more I prefer the company of my dogs to some people. Wolfie, angieram and Ewe Ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older I get, the more I prefer the company of my dogs to some people. I agree, people do lots of things for lots of reasons but saying thank you or just a nod or a wave costs nothing. I consider myself a conscientious driver and often let people out in front of me when safe to do so and I will never get tired of a thank you wave or flash of the hazards. It's not why I do it but it is still nice. Chester40 and Pearl Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 20 hours ago, Tony Le Mesmer said: I think this is an etiquette thing. Because drivers are expected to stop at a zebra crossing then people just automatically cross without realising it's even socially positive to acknowledge. Unlike if you were just kindly flashing to let someone cross at some random point on a road under no obligation to do so in which case acknowledgment IMO is essential in order to keep my faith in human nature.

Animal is a Ram Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 People who can't drive through floods properly. Low speed, high revs. and don't fecking stop! This is swiftly replaced by smug mode when my little Yaris defeats a BMW 325i. angieram, jono and McRamFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The modern use of random by those of a somewhat more tender age. Random will always mean to me what it always has.

Have you noticed the interest rates some of these loan sharks charge? Tiny blurred print at the bottom of the screen. Some of them are 5,000% or even 7,000%. Eye-watering. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
