So, are there any groups of people you tend to ascribe to the yuck pile on the basis of a single behaviour or look? No need to justify it, or recognize it
Here's three of mine
1) Cyclists anywhere other than roads: self-righteous twats, totally up themselves. I've taken to calling out any who cycle on footpaths, or ride furiously on shared (with pedestrians) routes. Their indignation is a sight to behoId. I let them know that there's an articulated truck somewhere with their name on it and their head under its wheels.
2) People who smoke or vape tobacco in public: look, I understand addiction as well as anyone, but getting addicted to an insecticidal neurotoxin that provides no high beyond alleviating withdrawal symptoms is a bit pants, and insisting on sharing that with other people is just foul and hateful.
3) Anyone standing on my doorstep with leaflets in their hand. Fuck off.
4) Anyone displaying tatts and piercings. Self-mutilation never been my thing and I find it hard to see how anyone can go in for it, especially paying someone else to do it. Just use a carving knife and be done with it.

Oh, and anyone who thinks that the fragrant air of a suburban (or indeed city) garden full of flower would be improved by the addition of some kerosene and charred flesh. Soulless cunts.

Aaaaah, cyclists. Let me go on. My city has been promoting the use of bicycles greatly and there are now bike paths everywhere, including right ouside my door. Fine. On teh surface it's a good way to lessen the unnecessary use of cars. But there are a few problems of course. In no particular order: 1) Hey, moron! A bike path is not a racetrack. Show a little respect for others whose path you are sharing. Idiot. 2) Since when don't cyclists have to obey traffic signalization? If cars and pedestrians and busses and whatever else have to stop at an intersection because the light is effing red, what makes you think that this does not apply to you? Moron. 3) OK, so other cyclists are not moving fast enough for you? Maybe you should have left 5 minutes earlier, huh? That still doesn't mean you can just then take ownership of the sidewalk on one side of the bike path or the street on the other side, weaving in and out at will. You want to do some exercising? Fine, but I'm not seeing too many aerobics classes or weightlifters in the middle of the busy street. Moron. But I will admit that I could go on about pedestrians and car drivers as well. The fact is that most pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers are absolutely fine and respectful of others. There are exceptions in all categories and those make the rest look bad. I guess we've grown used to stupid drivers over time to a certain extent, but, at least here, with the more recent proliferation of urban biking, we're still in the Wild West. Oh, by the way, I saw one such moronic cyclist earlier this week, flying down a busy bike path on a busy shopping street, suddenly unable to weave back into said path by going through two demarcation posts after veering off in order to speed past a normally travelling small group, hit one of the damend posts and go flying off his bike. Lucky for him, these are pliable plastic posts and he was wearing a helmet and proper gear, so he was able to pick himself up, red faced. ALthough I was glad he was not seriously hurt, I do hope he at least suffered a few heavy bruises that should serve as a reminder of his foolishness. But he'll probably not learn anything from it, mentally blaming the turtles on the path for his misfortune. MORON! |

It's funny how at one time (non-native) tattoos were a real signifier of outsider authenticity. Now most police I see have full sleeves done. I just assume they are white supremacists.
Anyone with a huge gas-guzzling truck for no apparent reason can get rightly fucked. I see them all the time. They aren't hauling anything except their lazy, stupid asses.
The same goes for people driving obnoxiously loud, supped up racing cars with stickers on the windows proclaiming 'Locally Hated'. Although I do appreciate them advertising their ignorance.

Amen to that and I include all overly gas-guzzling vehicles in that. A friend's son bought a lovely house out of the city (because he could almost afford the luxury if he did so well away from his daily job). He bought himself a lovely muscle car to make his travels more enjoyable for himself. Now he's constantly bitching about the heavy traffic and the ever-increasing cost of gas. Fuck off you little bourgeois. You asked for it. I feel sorry for his kids who will not-by-their-choice grow up amidst such values. |

We should be encouraging more cyclists and cycle ways. You need to worry more about the e-scooter explosion.
Proper cycle lanes for both is a good idea. As a former keen cyclist the attitude of drivers towards them stinks.

Agree with all of those, 1 and 3 in particular. Cyclists are an absolute menace for committed pedestrians like myself. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, my time in Berlin was honestly ruined by ignorant cunts zipping across paths, along pavements, coming out of nowhere ringing bells - the sense of entitlement was staggering. It's not just annoying, it's dangerous. Arrogance - or at least the appearance of it - is the theme that ties most if not all the things I dislike together. When people are making one fuck of a racket on a train (as happened today), for example. Or the committed lack of willingness to help that you sometimes see from people who work in shops or other services. And if you want sheer irrational prejudice, then the way people dress sometimes makes me want to throw them onto a rubbish dump. This fucking nonsense of young lads wearing shorts and puffer jackets in winter, for one. |

I don't want to make this all about cyclists, but the thing that annoys me most is the cycling two abreast on a road. Arrogant and ignorant. We're a serious mode of transport, right, but we also have to chat and block the road.
Bikers are my other pet hate. Rules of the road literally don't apply, just because they want to dick around at high speed. How did that come around?

Actual bikers (ie portly bearded tattooed ex gang members on Harleys) are actually very courteous drivers, it's teenagers on Tron bikes that are too fast and powerful for them to handle, that are the dick bags. |

...the thing that annoys me most is the cycling two abreast on a road. Arrogant and ignorant. We're a serious mode of transport, right, but we also have to chat and block the road. Pedestrians do this on sidewalks as well, two- or three-wide, ambling slowly in the sun, scrunching a little bit if foot traffic is coming towards them, a little, as little as possible, and then reconquer the whole width, blocking everybody behind them. Around here, that means I either have to crawl behind them or go around them, veering into the bike path. It's one thing in the Summer when all is clear but in the Winter here? Come on. Be aware of your surroundings a little. Basically everybody pisses everybody else off in one way or another. I'm pickig up my shit and moving to Titan. |

Cyclists ARE cunts. It's not some made up stereotype from bitter motorists. I only started driving again after 20 years a few years back and I quickly realised what folk said was true. It's the entitlement. Arseholes in fucking lycra who think they own everywhere they go. What amazed me was the fact that so many with rarely ever pull over to let you pass! They'll just carry on arsing about at 5mph instead of just doing the polite thing and pulling over and letting you go. Infuriating. I drove the North 500 a couple years back and it was so bad going up a steep hill behind some cunt the car stalled and I had to do a hill start just cos some idiot wouldn't get out the fucking way. They are the worst. Don't get me started on those cunts on those speedy scooter things you see these days either. You could seriously injure someone with those things and they whizz around on fucking pavements. Boils my piss.
People who dress to suit fashion. I just find it pathetic. You know those guys you see these days with skinny jeans, turn ups and a fucking Dexy's beanie? That kind of thing. Are some people really that lacking in individuality? I'll never understand it. See also cunts with lots of tatts or those face piercings or those stupid things that stretch their earlobes that remind me of that fella Sting brought onto Wogan. An ex had those. Daft twat. Also young women who dress like lesbians from the 1970s...fucking dungarees, oversized glasses and a fucking eco friendly bag. Women's fashion has seriously gone to shit.
Folk who chew gum with their mouth open. Just sterilise 'em.
Activists, habitual protestors, eco warriors etc. I just think they are losers with no life who would be better off spending their time on self-improvement thereby making themselves happier. 9/10 middle class of course too.
GYM guys who have lots of muscles and walk around showing 'em off in tight tops. It has to be insecurity, right? And they look absurd. what's that quote about Arnie? He looks like a condom full of walnuts or summat? Yeah, that.
30 and 40 something year old men who are still really into comic books or Marvel or some dumb shit. God just grow up ffs
Middle class women. In general I just dislike 'em and think are the dumbest, most gullible group in our society.

lol!
I dislike the middle class in general, as you know, but so much of the craziness of the modern world is coming from middle class women.
