people in hummers and SUVs who think they rule the road. they come up a few inches behind you to try and intimidate you. my reaction is to slow down and piss them off even more. i got hit on the interstate by a hummer a few months ago. the woman was trying to get in my lane. the only problem was: i was there!so she just sped up, cut in front of me and pretended nothing happened. BITCH!
also, people who drive along the shoulder instead of waiting in traffic. sometimes i straddle the shoulder so these assfaces can't get by and have to wait in line like the rest of us. GOD DAMN BUTTMUNCHERS!
Erm.. keeping up a jam night at my local for absoutely NIL pay,just the love of playing bass,with 2 drummers and a guitarist with strangers jumping up on stage to join in,to have some cunt who's only been in 3 weeks,take over the fucking night,and take over bass duties and vocals the whole fucking night. There ...rant over.
Anyone fancy getting together another JD tribute band?
Just the fact that, out of all the Crew Trainers at my store, I'm the only one that does NOT have a brown shirt.
Regular Crew - Red shirt. Crew Trainer/Manager Trainees - Brown Shirt.
And I'm the last *official* Crew Trainer in my store, and EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHER TOO knows that I'm a Crew Trainer. Been one for the better part of the almost 5-years I've been working at the store. And they can't even bother to call up one of my two Supervisors to check whether she's got a shirt in size SMALL, since everyone else wears Medium and up, so that their last Crew Trainer standing actually gets her damn shirt.
I feel like the actual odd one out because, while I don't have my brown shirt, Joel [the store manager] has me wearing my tie to work. That's all fine and dandy and what-all but, HELL-O!! he said the shirt was supposed to be in Monday, and that was LAST WEEK when he told me this. It's Thursday now.
Sooo... where. the. fuck. is. my. shirt!?
I swear, working at McD's tests the hell out of my patience!!

Your 2nd comment is PROBABLY the most IMPORTANT anyone can learn.......then you DIE!Thanks for your effort!
Drivers changing lanes abruptly, sneaking in front of a big truck and then immediately hitting the brakes; I pity the day when your misguided calculations don't work as planned and you wind up in the ditch; not hurt of course, just as a reminder to use your fckin' head when driving!
Guys that sit with their legs spread open on the trains.
People who lean on you whilst sleeping on train (I don't care if you sleep, just please don't lean on the person sitting next to you!)
Women that use the mirrors to do their makeup, when there's people standing behind them to wash their hands in the lavatory.
Certain pronunciations (I'm not talking about regional differences!) of English- 'noo-kyu-ler' for nuclear, 'eye-rack' for Iraq, 'lie-barrie' for library, 'pitcher' for picture, 'ruff' for roof, 'axe' for ask, 'major' for measure......etc etc etc
Books that have translation errors- For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story 'Babylon Revisited', one Japanese translation mistranslated the word 'damn', as 'sex'. 'Damn' isn't a synonym for 'sex', as far as I know. However, a different translation of that same story by Haruki Murakami had corrected that error.
Also, in the Albert Camus novel The Outsider (published in America as The Stranger), the Japanese translation mistranslated a segment where the protagonist says something about wanting to kiss a man, it said 'hug', instead of kiss. However, two different English translations (one British edition, another an American edition) had the word 'kiss', so I presume it's supposed to be 'kiss' and not 'hug'.
Rising cost of living in Japan (inflation)

Realized that while I still marched around the neighborhood ranting at top-lung in my combat boots and drawers, that I ran out of good rantable ideas.... need to refill the brain bucket with a few more before making tommorrow's assault upon the population....
What pisses me off?
The fact that I was born 10 years too early to benefit from the mp3 revolution. And ebay and Amazon, and the consequent huge drop in the price of music.
Young folks today, pah, don't know how lucky they are! Getting to listen to such a huge range of music and pick the non-crap stuff. In my day we had to pretend to ourselves that the record we just paid our highly limited music budget on because some twat in the NME liked it wasn't in fact complete crap and kid ourselves we liked it. Or pretend that the one track we'd previously heard wasn't in fact the only decent track on the album. (OK, quite possibly that was just me for having shite taste in the first place.)
But Gawd, when I think of the ludicrous money I spent on buying poxy cassettes (cassettes for Christ's sake! what in the name of God was I thinking?! I want to get in a time machine, go back and slap some sense in to myself). I seem to remember they were often as much as £15, probably more than £20 in today's money). Or vinyl which, no matter how carefully one stored it, always seemed to have developed loads of pops and skips the next time you took it out of the sleeve. I've never been one of them vinyl obsessives, vinyl was rubbish, good riddance to it (though at least Factory seemed to use much better quality stuff than everyone else, and um, Saville's work looked nicer on full size sleeves, but that's about the total case for the defence really).
And then I bought the sodding things all over again on cd!!!! Which were of course insanely overpriced thanks to the record industry's legally _proven_ cartel practices.
What's even more annoying is that I only finally started buying cds a couple of years before mp3s came along.
I reckon we were the generation the music industry price-gouged more comprehensively than any preceding or following. It's why I have bugger all sympathy for record companies, even when they objectively actually have a point about illegal downloading. I hope the bastards all go bust. I'd consider accepting having no more new music EVER just to get revenge on the buggers!!! There's enough old stuff I haven't listened to yet to keep me going. And New Order have jacked it in anyway.
I'd almost consider downloading music by bands I hate, purely to annoy the greedy music industry bastards (that means you, Metallica! Though I'd draw the line at actually listening to the downloads).
The worst of it is, having such a huge investment in cds means I now feel obliged to continue buying cds, because downloads burnt to cdrs just doesn't feel like the 'real thing' to a geriatric like me and 'cos if I were to admit I struggle to tell the difference between cds and mp3s I'd feel a mug for spending so much on the things while everyone else and his dog downloaded mp3s for free. Its the 'sunk costs' fallacy.
Oh, plus there's a twinge of conscience about ripping off the artists.
And I'm running out of space for cds. If I had it all on a few DVDrs of mp3s (or flacs) I'd be able to fully open the door of the living room.
Having got that out of my system, I do wonder what on earth is going to happen to the music industry, given that illegal downloading now seems to be almost universal. I still buy cds, but it feels almost like in paying for music I'm voluntarily giving to charity or something. I wonder if the 'In Rainbows'/'Ghosts' thing is the way of the future? Will that approach work do you think?

You know they have got these new things called mp3 players to play yer mp3s on so you can toss out the cds and make room for things like girls in yer living room!
Er, that was, like, an exaggeration for rhetorical effect. But I am gonna have to either stop buying them or get rid of a load. (We get less space each here than you Americans, by about a factor of 8)
When on your birthday, the new KVM switch (lets you juse one keyboard, mouse and monitor with multiple PC's, my old one doesn't do USB, and my new PC ONLY does USB so....), that you paid a fortune for "next day by one o'clock" deliver....doesn't weigh in. THAT pisses me off, but not as much as the fact that Royal Fail's parcel tracker said "on it's way, will be with you by the guaranteed time", then at one on the dot changed to "errrm, yes we are delivering this sometime".
That'll be cuntin monday then!
Grrrrrr
Monty, yer a postie, how much do they pay out for breaking their guarantee?

There's also PARCELFARCE too you know?
If it's Special Delivery,the sender should get a full refund on the postage at least.
Yeah to get to yours for Saturday,they would have had to pay £2 extra,so it'll be Monday now. Sorry Doc!
People who lie all the time and expect you to accept their bullshit and that you should respond with your lies and bullshit. And then they react with continued bullshit. It's a game. I play poorly, so it pisses me off.
People who complain all the time just to complain. The whole point is the complaining. It is stupid. Complain for a reason. Oh well, we all seem to do it.

could not agree with you more!
and people that drives these 4-cylinder cars filled with stickers and with the huge fin or spoiler on back of the trunk as if the car would flip-over and go no faster than 60-65 mph. how pathetic! OMG, soooooo funny!
people who borrow your CDs and return it with scratches - that includes scratches in the case and/or damages the circular holder of the CD (whatever you call it)
people who complain too much or complains at almost everything.
Indeed!
What pisses me off is when you're packing £300 quid's worth of motherboard up for a trip back to the makers owing to it being more than a little mental.......you bend 2 pins on the cpu socket and invalidate your warrantee[1].
pissed off (and retarded) Bangor.
[1]socket LGA775, pricless move by intel, sick of replacing processors with bent pins? then why not make the CPU with pads and get the pins made by the motherboard makers. Genius. Trouble is you can FIX pins on a processor, there's not a lot you can do with this "landing grid array" thing once you've fucked it.
People who don't indicate on roundabouts. You're sat there like a daft cunt waiting for a break in traffic,while something of the least amount of effort exerted could have let you know.......that you're a daft cunt.
when the train conductor doesn't communicate upcoming train delays so you can take an alternate route. Also, when the train I'm transferring to takes off as soon as my train arrives. 
The poorly educated who live in 'Western' economies but do nothing about it. There's no excuse - have they never heard of libraries? Internet? Intelligent debate? Bettering Oneself?
Also:
The fat, slow and stupid on pavements. Okay, you may be slow or old, you have my sympathy and I agree that you have just as much right to walk/drive your spazzmobile on the pavement as I do. However, WHY take up the MIDDLE of the pavement with your fat arse/mobility scooter/pushchair so that no one else can get past without having to walk in the road? Have some consideration for others for fuck's sake.
And:
The unimaginative. The only thing that I find difficult to imagine is being able to say that I have 'Nothing to do.' I'm not a four year old. I can manage my time, invent various scenarios with which to occupy my mind and my time. These are the people who will sit there, aged 90, physically incapable, who have very little in life to look back on.
And:
Drivers who park on pavements, thereby reducing the width of the pathway for pedestrians, wheelchair users, etc. They deserve to have their cars keyed by every passer-by. I've seen mothers having to push their kids' pushchairs into the road because there's not enough room on the pavement. Also wheelchair users who've had to do the same, putting their own lives at risk due to thoughtless motorists.
And:
People who cycle on the pavement causing a danger to everyone. The last one who bumped into me got his spokes kicked in and seemed rather indignant that a pedestrian was cross that he was riding on the pavement (not in a cycle lane) and that others had the AUDACITY to applaud...
And:
Dog owners who let their filthy animals shit all over the pavements. The worms contained in canine faeces can blind a child if they accidentally ingest them. The poo should be picked up off the pavement and posted through the inconsiderate owners' letter boxes.
And:
People who put their feet on the seats whilst using public transport. Inconsiderate cnuts.
And:
People who constantly moan about everything as if they're worse done-by than everyone else. They deserve a fucking kick up the arse and to be sent to live in a sewage ridden hovel for two months. THEN they might have something to fucking complain about.
And:
Kiddy fiddlers.Which brings me on to: Michael Jackson. CUNT. Enough said.
And:
Government health warnings. I KNOW it will kill me, stop fucking reminding me.
And:
Apes. How come everyone says that so many species are dying out, yet there seem to be so many of the buggers?
And:
Modern music. All sounds the bloody same.
Don't get complacent. I haven't finished yet...
And:
People who don't get jokes or are too bloody miserable all the time to appreciate them...
But it wasnt a joke was it Chris, You're the person who claimed not be able to distinguish between Interpol and The Fratellis, clearly demonstrating you had never listened to either. A frightening level of ignorance.
i have to say i'm stuck in the past when it comes to music. Please forgive me but a lot of the modern music fails to captivate me.
I'm not silly enough to get into one of your Eeyore arguments Liam, you'll think what you like, regardless...

Not just roundabouts, it has struck me these last few months that no-one fucking does it anywhere anymore. Have seen a few Police not bothering too, which probably doesn't inspire the masses to do it....

Can I add cunts who use bus lanes to undertake to the list of traffic related gripes please. Oh and people who dont acknowledge you, when you let them through, often at considerable effort. Cunts.
This kid really pissed me off last night at work. While taking an order for this family, this 20 year old boyfriend of the daughter starts talking down on me asking "are you going to be able to handle this order? do you get it? are you sure you understand?" wearing that shitty Gatsby hat made from hemp (don't even get me started on idiots that wear that shitty style)...
...swear I could have choke slammed that idiot.... can I handle his order..... he couldn't handle some of the situations I've been under, he'd piss his wee pants....
...good thing I was at work, it kept me civil...

People in pubs ordering COFFEE. Why? If you want coffee fuck off to Starbucks, I mean for fucks sake its not hard to find one. Its hard enough to find a decent drink in Manchester these days without these amateurs lengthening the queue. There is this lad who comes in for the football, always drinking Coffee. Why? Why would anyone drink Coffee in a pub, in the evening, out with your mates watching the football? And he looks like a right idiot as well. And how long does it take to make? Fucking ages, its not a case of boiling a kettle and getting a bit of nescafe out is it? No, is it fuck. Its one of those fancy machines no one has a clue how they work. And they take fucking ages. Its even worse when a group comes in oprdering coffee. Why? Why would do such a thing? its always some poxy art group from the Met (not the real university) coming in for a discussion. When i was at Uni and we had to do group work, if we wanted Coffee, we went to Cafe Muse, if I wanted a pint, we went to Jabez. No one ordered Coffee in Jabez. its not like you cant have a Blackcurrant and Soda or a glass of tonic water or such like. But COFFEE. Its a pub. Not a Cafe.
People on this board posting really unfunny, nonsensical links to stuff, trying to relate it to something or someone, and it just ends up being am total failure. Not just any failure, but a EPIC FAIL. It seems to be happpening a lot this week. Just lots of absolsutely pathetic attempts at comedy which make about as much sense as a certain somebodys comparison of Interpol and The Fratellis. Total and utter FAILURE.

an example
Shit Football pundits and commentators. Actually, this isnt limited to Football, but a lot of sports. At the top of the list was Ian fucking Wright, but he's fucked off. (Watched ten minutes of Gladiators tonight, again, FAILURE). All I can is thank fuck our game tomorrow night is on Sky. Motson is clearly not in complete control of his mental functions, Lawrenson is so unfunny and ignorant he'd fit right in place on this board, Lineker is a smug git ("Missing you already Sven" well, we fucking were missing him when we couldnt beat Israel, Macedonia, Russia or Croatia, werent we. fuck you). Hansen is past caring. Jonathan Pearce is a novelty act who needs to remove himself from the proverbial backside of West Ham United. Mark Bright is just a geek. and thats just the BBC. I mean for fucks sake, ITV, the supposed leading commercial station in the country, has, for ten years now, had Clive fucking Tyldsley as its main commentator. His squeaky voice, he fucking constant tak of "that night in Barcelona" and "that night in Istanbul" and other suck bollocks. No one cares you fucking twat. NO BUYS~! Andy Townsend are somehow still employed, when any rational thinking person would have binned them long ago, preferably in Andy Townsends tactics truck.
And its not limited to them either. Look at tony fucking Cascarino. A man so stupid he didnt know what country he was from! for some reason, his anti Sven bias (oooh... World Cup qaurter finals... bad!) led him to predict that Man City would get relegated! Thank fuck for Martin Samuel because otherwise the Times sports coverage would be unreadable.
What's this scary phenomenon of wearing pyjama bottoms to go to the fucking supermarket. The lazy bastards.

Give 'em a can of that instant shit in a can that's got a heat widget that heats up the coffee when you pull the ring.......then get them away from the fooking bar!

Don't have to worry about wasps yet, til we get a Summer for first time in a couple of years.
Nick... that reminds me. Sanctimonious ex-smoking cunts. Like the West African woman who said I was disgusting for polluting her air in the open High Street the other day. My response was not for this forum. And to the Community Wardens, trying to book me for dropping a butt, til i got in the van and fucked off. I'm awaiting the knock on the door on that one.
One year on, and these cunts think they have some sort of superiority complex over us. The revolution will not be televised.

Quite, and when she said that it was disgusting, was she standing by a road with cars polluting the air? (Not that I have anything against cars, btw - public transport is shite)
Erm...
Which reminds me, time for another smoke!
TV Chefs.
Delia fucking Smith. Drunken Whore. Knock on the door a few weeks ago, special delivery, its Delias new book which my mam has ordered. "How to cheat at Cooking" (Christ knows why this has been ordered, considering I'm an excellent cook, so is my step dad, and my mums at least half decent) In this book, it tells you how to make, amongst other things, a chocolate cake using INSTANT MASHED POTATO. Not withstanding just how WRONG the very concept of Instant mashed potato is, who the FUCK eat this shit? And the recipe book is full of this shit, using the fucking worst or pre packaged and prepared ingredients. I grow my own fucking vegetables. And I'll be fucking damned if i'm letting any of my veg go in any recipes of unadulterated shit that this drunken whore is selling.
And its not limited ot her. Gordon fucking Ramsey. How this man has conned the world into considering him the greatest chef on Earth, I'll never know. Great Chef? No, he just swears and shouts a lot. Has anyone else noticed than in any of his programmes he cooks absolsutely fuck all. And he's a liar. Who does he think he is going on nationla television and pretenidng to go hunting for swordfish> "I feel like fucking Action man" well, you're a liar, you're a scam. And yet he gets rewarded for this, while great, great Men like Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall just get ignored. You want to feel like fucking Action Man, go and raise a herd of cows and taken them to slaughteroir go hunting for lobster, and catch a conga eel, and then be filemd killing it. Jesus Christ, if TV isnt shit enough these days without people knowing whats GREAT like fucking Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall.
Didn't know Hugh had gone hand to hand with a conger and won, my but he is a man indeed!
Never thought for one second that GR was a good chef, but that kitchen nightmares program amuses me.
Comedy. or lack thereof.
How come if I want to watch a decent Comedy I have to watch UK Gold or whatver obscure Digital Channell Desmonds is on>? Adrian Edmonson, part of two of the fucking greatest TV shows ever, is now reduced to doing some shite on ITV. While the BBC's main comedy is MY FAMILY. The most unfunniest comedy since barbara polluted the airwaves on ITV a few years ago. The best comedy this decade has been The Thick Of It, (buried in the schedules on a Channel no one eatches) or The Vicar of Dibley, and even that was a reunion. Pulling isnt funny.It does however, have nice women (which was the same reason coupling was watchable). The last truly funny thing to come down the pike was Green Wing. Where are the truly classic comedies like Men Behaving Badly, Only Fools and Horses, The Royle Family, Father Ted, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Porridge, One Foot In The Grave, Yes Minister, Drop the Dead Donkey, Red Dwarf etc etc. Its fucking bullshit that this country is inept at producing a decent sitcom these days. If i want towatch something lighthearted for a change I have to go to UK Gold. fucking disgraceful.
Cash in the Attic, in particular, and other programmes designed to entertain the unemployed and white cider drinkers in the early morning.
Why is Lorne Spicer a cunt? Partly because she presents Cash In The Attic, a show designed purely for the entertainment of unemployed chavs and people so terminally stupid that their brains have given up on higher functions entirely and are just concentrating on autonamous functions. Partly because she has the dress-sense of Elton John circa 1974. Partly because of her fixed grin, fake laugh and cold, dead eyes. And partly because she's the sort of cunt who will happily stand in front of a camera and recite whatever shit is put in front of her, no matter how badly written it is, or how much it makes her look like a smug, supercillious, pudgy-faced cunt.
I'm not even going to START on Jeremy Kyle.

I can't remember what line of work you're in but if it was food, I hope you gobbed in it!
Yep, food for the time being, waiter at a microbrew resturant... not one to do anything to anyone's food, though I've thought about it on occasion... if I were going to do something to him, I'd prefer him to know it, like grabbing the back of his head and slamming it into the table... but not worth loosing the job over...
Actually what helped most was he reminded me of my brother-in-law when he was a younger ass... turned out a great guy... (unfortunately he passed last year)... so just kept in my mind I was dealing with him and it helped me keep my cool.
People who backtrack and claim they were only joking.
Oh and Victoria Beckham, as always, obviously.She's really beautiful, apparantley, inside and out

How come if I want to watch a decent Comedy I have to watch UK Gold or whatver obscure Digital Channell Desmonds is on>? Adrian Edmonson, part of two of the fucking greatest TV shows ever, is now reduced to doing some shite on ITV. While the BBC's main comedy is MY FAMILY. The most unfunniest comedy since barbara polluted the airwaves on ITV a few years ago. The best comedy this decade has been The Thick Of It, (buried in the schedules on a Channel no one eatches) or The Vicar of Dibley, and even that was a reunion. Pulling isnt funny.It does however, have nice women (which was the same reason coupling was watchable). The last truly funny thing to come down the pike was Green Wing. Where are the truly classic comedies like Men Behaving Badly, Only Fools and Horses, The Royle Family, Father Ted, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Porridge, One Foot In The Grave, Yes Minister, Drop the Dead Donkey, Red Dwarf etc etc. Its fucking bullshit that this country is inept at producing a decent sitcom these days. If i want towatch something lighthearted for a change I have to go to UK Gold. fucking disgraceful.
the thick of it is genius. coupling was NOT watchable. pulling is brilliant - utterly hilarious. at last a sitcom that gives lie to the myth that women aren't funny.

No. Seriously. What myth? I seem to remember Victoria Wood being quite funny, and popular a few years back. And what about Caroline Aherne? and Kathy Burke? And Arabella Weir?
Just because the likes of Jenny Eclair are all over telly on those nostalgia programmes, doesnt mean there is a "myth" that Women arent funny.
I mean women in general. If anybody were to meet my friend, she is without a doubt the funniest person I've met. Sharp humour, very witty and usually has us rolling round the pub.
There only myth that exists is the the one constructed by self pitying feminists believing that there is a myth that everyone thinks women are unfunny.
Of course, if people are believing Christopher Hitchens when it comes to Comedy, then these peole shut just be sectioned.
The times I've laughed my arse off at Absoultely Fabulous, French and Saunders, Fawlty Towers, The Royle Family, The Fast Show, etc etc obviously dont count.
hitch didn't invent this line, it's a long-standing - if commonly derided - cultural assumption that he used as the basis for his piece. find it hard to believe you've never come across it before.
i feel sure women all over the world thank you for your chuckles at said shows, and breathe a huge collective sigh of relief that the battle for equality is therefore obviously won.
What a bizarre conversation. I'm stunned that anyone would suggest that funniness was gender-specific.
It isn't, and that's that.

Actually I think the funniness gene lies in the left testicle

Gigs.
Well, things at gigs. Firstly, KIDS. Or indeed, anyone under the age of 21.
Back in november 06, me and my best mate Andrew were down the front for Muse at the MEN. muse are incredible live, and if you have any clue at all you will know that people arent just going to stand down the front bopping their head or tapping their feet. what do i see after two songs? I see some little bitch crying her eyes out because its too rough. I've never seen anything quite so PATHETIC in all my life. and its not like this just happens at Muse gigs. When Morrissey did the Apollo two years ago, there was this girl in the queue on her own, said she'd seen Morrissey before, big fan etc etc. During first of the Gang to Die, which was the FIRST song, she was carried out crying. What on earth do these people expect?
And its not even limited to kids. Some bitch has taken it upon herlsef to set up This website because she got pushed a little bit when in the front row for Brian wilson at Glastonbury in 05.
If you cant stand the heat, its not a case of getting out of the kitchen, its case of dont be a fucking moron and go in their in the first place. If you dont want to be pushed around a little bit, then go and get a nice seat in the MEN and watch Katie fucking Melua.
Kids at gigs: Shouting out for the most obvious of cuking songs all fuckming gig. Yes, Muse will play Knights of Cydonia, stop fucking shrieking. And no, I will not move so I can watch you and your girlfriend make out all gig. Whats all that about anyway? Going to a gig and then not watching any of it because your too busy attempting to lick your girlfriends tonsils? You see these dickheads all the time (well, you do if you go to gigs regularly, so that rules out 95% of out American members!) and they look really smug, with that look on that face saying "hah! look at me I'm going to get laid tonight" and i just want to say "listen son, i dont care, your putting on a substandard making out show, you've paid for two people to be here, no one gives two pieces of crap about you, and as soon as a fast song comes on, I'm jumping into to you and knocking you over you cocksucker" seriously, people go to a gig not to watch it. Why? What are these people thinking? Stay at home, save your money. No One cares.
Speaking of which. Whats with some blokes creating an exclusion zone around their women? Have you ever seen anything quite so SAD in your life? I cant remember what gig it was, i think it was Franz Ferdinand a few years ago where I saw one guy holding the crowd back like a security guard, while holding onto his missus. what a sad cunt. You see it all the time these days. You just want to go up to these people and tell them how foolish they look.
Aye , during Doves' set at Manchester V Cancer 2006 this snotty "indie" girl kept moaning at people in the mosh, telling them to stop jostling and shoving around.I was pushed from behind a number of times and couldn't help but be pushed into her a couple of times which she took very badly Fuck sake , IT'S.A.FUCK.ING.MOSH.PIT !

I forget which gig in Rocktober, but I'm sure it was one of the Glasgow dates, I jostled to the front for the start and got a spot right in front of Hooky. This girl turned and gave me a dirty look, I think she'd been there from the support acts. Then, I think they launched into Ceremony so I started getting in the spirit of things and she started pushing me. I was in such a good mood I let it go. Then the next song she was making it obvious that I was doing her head in. I asked her 'why are you here if you don't like your space being invaded?', she put her head down for a bit. Then ten mins later she turned and shouted something to me and I finally lost it and told her to fuck off.
And she did.
I'm not usually so aggressive but for Gods sake, why go in the mosh pit and not expect to be shoved about?

Absolutely!
I'll always remember the group of teenage girls standing near the front for the first Versus Cancer gig. Me & Ally had deicded to go to the front, but these girls started complaining because I was tall... Erm, okay, go in front of us then...
They didn't even last one song!

No sympathy for those that are adult enough to move about, like say at a concert. But what is with the fucks go to child areas (like amusements parks, zoos, etc.) that are really tall, and stand right in front of my kids so they can't see the event going on. Usually these people have no children at all, and give such an attitude when I ask if my kids can get in front of them.... as if my kids are disruption for them... and for fucks sake, these are kids events, not something adults should be so childish over....
Not content with ballsing it up on their own, U2 recruit Arcade Fire to truly get the timing wrong. Bongo's fault:
