The Victor Meldrew thread...

[GhostOfDixie]

For all those over 30 at least, and you know who you are.

What winds you up about modern life. Just one thing at a time.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

Kids on trains with crap hardcore blasting our of their mobile phones, very unmusically.

I know Victor Meldrew, and I am only 28

I wouldn't say it wound me up as such, but I was at the Isle of Wight Festival yesterday, Muse were playing, it was all very nice, except I was surrounded by middle aged people, must have been proper mums and dads (you know the sort) and they were dancing, badly, to Muse. All seemed so very, very wrong.

Having just read the Mary Sunshine thread I'm going to have to add:

Women who wear next to nothing when they go shopping that really should wear a tent or something of volume to cover up their unsightly bulges rather than squeeze into an outfit that hasn't fitted them since they were getting cartons of milk given them each day.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

I wonder when the cut off point is when you can stop liking Muse? What if they do a Stones and keep on going? Is it wrong to dance to a Stone song when your 60?

Its a thin line though, or sometimes a thick one.

Funnily enough the Stones are playing tonight. It's not so much old people liking contempary music, it's the dancing in a style that only old people seem to feel is in time or in anyway resembling the beat that they're listening to. It'd be like taking your mum to Goodison and her spending the entire match shouting "cooee, go on number 9" or something equally cringeworthy. I appreciate that they mean well, but no, they really shouldn't

nasty overhang, i can only imagine they have all been hypnotised and actually believe their clothes fit them well.

idiots.

 

[SuitsBlue]

95% of television, its just [Poor language removed] and i cant stand it.

adverts, everywhere. Bruce, how is/was the isle of wight festival "branded"?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Heavily I think that's probably half the problem. The older generation have the cash and festivals these days seem about extracting as much of it as possible.

 

[Neiler]

Buggies in shopping centers AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

Oh and people who leave there trolly's in the middle of aisles to have a wander and check which variety of beans are the best purchase.

 

[chicoazul]

My hate. People who walk very slowly and take over the whole of the sidewalk, they dont move even if they see youre trying to get past. Usually the French.

I also hate the French.

I hate people who wait for the total bill in the Supermarket before getting their money out and sorting the loose change.

I hate people who blame everything on everyone but themselves. Blame/compensation culture.

 

[Gazdalf]

Old people that stop dead in front of you(normally in liverpool city centre) and then make it look like it is your fault for bumping into them

 

[Gazdalf]

Old people that don't say thankyou when you hold the door open for them and then complain that no-one has any manners nowadays, "not like it was in their days when respect for your elders meant everything" [Poor language removed] OFF PISS SMELLING [Poor language removed], HOW WOULD YOU KNOW, YOU WERE NOT [Poor language removed] OLD BACK THEN





oops, I will get off my soap box now,
