Also people who (usually theatrically) decant water from their perfectly serviceable drinks bottle into a vessel at their desk. Who do you think you are, the fucking queen? On a similar note - if you're inside, and not doing fitness work, do you really need one of these?  |

Or shaking those protein shake bottles with a ball in the middle of the day.

Just use a normal water bottle you fuckers. |

Runners who, whilst waiting at traffic lights or other crossing jog on the spot as they wait for a break in the traffic. Dorks!

Runners who just steam ahead down footpaths and expect others to move out of their way. I normally just stop moving and make them run around me.

Cyclists on pavements annoy the shit out of me. There's one who seems to get the same train I do, and always gets stuck behind me on the narrow pavement. Can't hear the fucker coming over my headphones and he doesn't have a bell, so just clears his throat and says "can I get past now" in an annoyed voice, so I have to practically jump into the fucking hedge to make way for him.
I should really just tell him to piss off and use the road like he's supposed to.

Our local main street has a shared cycle and pedestrian way. It is a great big wide pavement that should have no problem accommodating all users who wish to use it and yet, somehow, there's always people arguing about rights of way and such.
Some people - regardless of the current method of transport - are just arseholes.
This shocking revelation has been brought to you by dogbot, stater of the absolutely bleeding obvious.

Not sure if it annoys me as much as I just find it perplexing, but people smoking while cycling

I used to smoke a joint whilst going on a bike ride when I was younger.
Probably one of the stupider things I did in my youth. Great feeling though and only used to do it on a trail with a helmet on and nobody around.

It reminds me that this morning I saw a dude- black hoody, balaclava, no helmet etc come absolutely belting out of a road with a red light for it and fly into moving traffic on one of those e-bike/pretend m0t0rb1ke things which have the speed regulators removed whilst looking down at his phone held with the non-throttle hand. That lad is going to smash his head like a watermelon if he ever hits a car or crashes. Kudos for his multi-tasking while moving at speed, i guess... |

I don't get the love that Five guys burgers get in the UK, they are overpriced and tbh you can get a much better burger in tons of places in the UK now. (I do like the fries but they have cut down how much you get now)
Their burgers are not much different from some kebab van/greasy takeaway place but you get people acting like its great burger ever

Whilst nothing special I think they're definitely a cut above burger van/kebab shop standard, it does depends where you are really, there's still plenty of places where the choice isn't great, they're also very convenient if you want food on the go as opposed to formal sit down affair in which case they'd never be my choice. |

I have not been much to the UK since moving back here at the start of the year but my new home town has loads of good places in Cambridge. The indie one that use to be only in 2 vans, now have place in the city centre but the seating is more five guys than restaurant, iirc their burgers are the same price as five guys or just a little more
Even Honest burger here is a good (the double smash burger is so good) Flat iron have amazing bearnaise burger, really want a one of those now

I like five guys. The thing that winds me up is the fries tsunami.
You aren’t giving the impression of ‘free’ fries by slinging them into the bottom of the bag if they cost a fiver a portion. All you’re doing is offering no choice but to buy more food than you actually want and putting a third of them into a small paper cup. It’s the dumbest fake value add going.

I like Five Guys quite a bit. WOuldn't go there every week but eveyr month or so, absolutely. and personally I do think there's a noticbale positive difference between their burgers and those elsewhere.
It's the drinks where the biggest mark up is. Something like £4.30 for one of their self service Coke machines, but then you'd rarely need multiple refills anyway.
Take that out of the equation I'm comfortable with the price.

Drivers who lean over towards the middle of the car when driving, steering with one hand on the wheel, and drivers who have the seat back tilted so they can only just see over top of the steering wheel.
