Seriously think everybody should have to put a disclaimer of who they support in their signatures. That way when people claim to not be biased we can just see the truth.

What's really swimming pool me off is people that I'm subsiding on bills (because we are family and live together) telling me that it's only X amount for certain things I can't afford to pay for because I'm spending 3/4 of my pay on the bills they should be paying for.
If they actually got off their bum and contributed to the household, I'd be able to afford the things my parents somehow feel obliged to buy for them.

I think some Australians will relate to this part

KEVIN RUDD

Creates a mess in this country and then pretends he is a new man and is back to save Australia from the baddies that are the Liberals who kept this country going strong for so long. Makes up a heap of BS and spreads them over TV and the media. Plus he has seemed to have brainwashed many young people to vote for him and other students at school are telling me about what a hero he is and how the opposition will destroy this country

The current music industry.
Didn't realise how far the music industry had slipped until I went on YouTube for about an hour last night. Listened to Green Day, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Queen and some other music and it made me think; What has happend to the music industry?

People at my school
It's term 3 now, and we have had the same timetable schedule since Jan 31. So don't ask me what class we have next every 5 mins. How hard can it be to remember for crying out loud!

Also, I don't like my name been shortened. Sorry, if I wanted to be called a shorter name, I will tell you. However until then please call me by my full name.

First World problems
People who can't respect our teachers and have their phones out complaining that someone unliked their photo or how the internet is slow. Seriously get real and SHUT UP!

The fact I miss out on so much stuff without Facebook. I know I should get it blah blah but ain't nobody got time for that. I guess I'm better of without it, but still it makes life hard sometimes especially with the ladies.

The school swim team
They come into the school weight room on 2 of the 3 times I'm there per week. The gym is small as it is (because we have to have a dance room next door even though it is hardly used) and then when I'm working with my PT, they come up to him and ask him the stupidest questions. He then loses concentration on my workout even though I'm paying him, which isn't his fault because it is his duty of care. Also they don't understand personal space or that when I'm lifting and doing a circuit please don't get in my way. Also they make so much noise, whine and just be negative in general, it frustrates me so much. I'd rather listen to the music playing before they walked in thanks. Also they steal the weights I'm using, because and I quote "we are high performance athletes, and we got priority in this school gym". No sorry you are not high performance, you bench only 30kgs and eat McDonalds and other rubbish and also the only reason you are in the swim team is because you have to pay for all these special lessons and blah blah blah before you are even considered. So don't tell me you are a high performance athlete when you spend half your time talking rubbish and that even though I'm not part of the swim team, I can out swim them.

This ends my rant for now. I try not to complain to much, its not a nice quality but I'm seriously fired up ATM.

I so agree. There are some posters in the main forum that go all out in support of a particular F1 driver & seem to have a lot of hate for another F1 driver &, when that is pointed out, they then come out & say they don't actually support the driver they are carrying on about. It is so frustrating cause you know it's not true

I sympathise with you about the gym thing. The place I go to isn't the largest place in the world but it is the most annoying thing when these prats walk into the place and do nothing but talk sh*t while staring in the mirror doing bicep curls with 10kg dumbbells. I mean seriously their back does more of a workout than there arms and they think they're the next Arnie!! Oh and they're untidy louts!! They use a weight, then leave it on the floor for somebody else to tidy, inconsiderate morons!! I got extreme pleasure watching one of them trying to bench press 50kg and they could barely lift the bar! I have no problem with people who come in, use the stuff properly, clean up after themselves and leave in peace but I have no time whatsoever for these wee sh*ts!!!!!! Rant over

I keep getting NSIS errors on my desktop whenever I try to download and run any .exe files on that machine. It will install .exe files downloaded from other computers and copied across, which is weird. No idea how or why it's doing it, and it's really annoying me.

Been involved in a debate for the last few days over Gibraltar with some Spainish members of another forum... These guys happily admit they'd like to see 'all measures' used to resolve the issue... Aka, the military brought in..

Yet they call the UK warmongers for the fact a naval task group is pausing in Gibraltar while passing through to an annual exercise...

BBC Athletics coverage. I've had to listen to 15 years worth of them going on about poor sprinters being good talents while running 10.5, and James Dasaolu is our fastest sprinter for 20 years, and he barely gets a mention because they are too busy getting into a frenzy over Usain Bolt

Oh yes, especially the Arnie no hopers. I agree with you completely about those who come in and do the right thing, but unfortunately they are now the minority.

Haha nah, my comment was in relation to the discussion on the previous page about shortening names. I don't mind if my username gets shortened here, but IRL, I don't like my name shortened.

People that read half a thread and then make rash assumptions. I mean c'mon, it's still on its first page!

This is one that I've found in F1 forums, but it appears elsewhere as well.

Calling drivers, or other widely known people, by their first name. I see no issue in doing so in fan threads and in lighter subjects concerning the driver in question (I do sometimes use "Kimi" in the driver-specific thread), but if you're trying to make a point in a discussion, calling a driver by their first name makes you look incredibly biased, no matter how valid your point may actually be. This is found more often with some drivers than others (and outside F1, it's the same trend with certain people).

I find this especially amusing in political discussions, but as I read F1 forums more than political ones things like these have really started to annoy me. It's just that using first names often goes hand in hand with heavy bias, but when that's not the case, the person making a good point may find him-/herself being taken less serious than usual - or am I the only one? Call me overreacting, but it's the little things, such as this and your/you're, that can make or break a point.

Using first names of F1 drivers is especially annoying if the poster, in the very same post, uses last names of other drivers thus creating a contrast. For example "Petey has done very well in turn 95, whereas Johnson-da Silva has really messed up his braking points"...
Abbreviating drivers' names (Said Johnson-da Silva being SJS or SJdS) is fine to some extent, as long as it isn't done without exception.

My apologies if there actually is a racing driver called Said Johnson-da Silva.

I think you could be reading a bit much into it!

As you said Kimi is often used, as is Seb, but it's not just first names you should be looking at and nit taking a post seriously. You do need to read the entire post and see if the poster is using first names for every driver mentioned or just for a certain one, that's when you can tell bias, otherwise it's just the posters style of writing.

I disagree completely. I use Seb Lewis and Kimi. But Grosjean Hulkenberg and Perez.

I dislike Seb and Kimi. Love Lewis and am a big fan of the other 3 mentioned. The reason I use Seb Kimi and Lewis is because we so often hear them referred to as that and many others on the forum use it so it's just become natural I don't think it's any sign of bias-ness.

I think most people probably use: Seb, Lewis, Kimi, Fred...

For the rest it's either last name of a mix of either first or last (e.g. Jenson or maybe Button...)

After once calling Grosjean RoGro in my dad's company all the drivers are now shortened that way. SeVe, LeHa, JeBu, FeAl. All kinds of fun!

I do it out of pure laziness.

Seb is 3 key strokes, Kimi 4, which on a blackberry is a considerable saving.

I think the use of first names can lighten the discussion a bit. Admittedly I do it myself but the one thing I do dislike, and try to cut out of my posts, is saying a first name for one driver accompanied by a last name for another.

For example, Mark beat Vettel. Or Seb beat Webber.

Other than that its all good IMO.

Loud kids.

Kids between 4 and 10 who have to shout everything as loud as they can when it is a silent place.
I dont mean when they need to be heard, just when talking to another kid a foot away

You can add screamers to this too

Moby, don't move North! The closer you get to the Arctic Circle the closer you get to twenty four hour daylight in summer. Ask me how many kids are out playing in the streets at 3 am. in my neck of the woods.

You can add loud adults and loud adolescents to the annoying list also!

LOL I can imagine My mum always said be home by dark, would have loved it.

TBH, I have no problem with kids playing, 99% are fine, its just the one who has a foghorn for a mouth and it is stuck on full volume.

I end up mixing it up when discussing. One moment I'll call them by their first name (All drivers), next I'll use their initials and then I'll use their surnames. I have no idea why I do it.

Got a new one (Again)

Idiot kids who tare through town centers on motorcycles as fast as they can and completely disregard traffic rules or pedestrians. Part one.

Part two
Coppers who flag ME down and proceed to lecture ME on what they have just seen irrespective of the fact that
A I have no idea who the kid is

B they are on a 'scrambler' that sounds like a mad chainsaw, while I am on a BMW touring doing 30mph and you can not hear it when you stand next to it.

C they were far closer to the idiot than I was and it is their job to stop idiots who are probably not old enough to even get a license, let alone insurance, not mine as I have both.

I feel particularly annoyed as I was probably as tiddled at the kid as they were, bit I then get the blame for it

Thinking I was fairly quick at typing only to discover my typing speed is about 55-60. Ah well, practice makes perfect, huh?

I can only beat that when I'm typing angry tbh.

Then I make a load of mistamkes.

Betting ads.

They are everywhere. All the time, every channel/youtube video/you name it.

It's getting very annoying now

Yeah I do much of the same, I don't have a certain pattern in using first or surnames or initials. I also think most people who don't refer to a driver with their last name do it because it is easier. I do say Kimi even though I'm no fan and I do say Schumi and I didn't like the guy at all as driver.
But calling someone you don't know personally or is ranked higher by their last name only is actually disrespectful towards that person. We should say Mr or Ms. I would like to be called by my first name too not my last name even if it's a person I don't know really well.

Being sent an email at 3am about a job vacancy only to be told it's gone by 9am :/

My new smart tv required a £25 wifi dongle to access the internet, and now having bought that, the sodding wifi won't connect.
It says that it's connected to the router, the IP, Subnet, Default gateway, DNS, and broadcast addresses are all correct, but it can't ping the update servers.

When your train is delayed and you miss your changing connection - especially when it's not the most popular route.

A journey that should have taken me 1 hour 50 took nearly 4 hours on Saturday night!

Garages that double as mini supermarkets.

You can't get to the pumps because people fill up and then spend ages browsing for bits and bobs.
When you do eventually get your fuel, you then have to spend ages in a queue, standing behind people with full shopping baskets, and there are never enough people on the checkouts anyway.

I go to the garage to buy petrol - I just want to buy it and leave.

Regarding driver names, I mix and match between first and surnames all the times. I'll call Lewis Hamilton either "Lewis" or "Hamilton" or his full name or "Sir Lewis Hamilton, 7X WDC".
I mostly refer to Kimi and Mika by their first names because my spelling is rather poor and I mess up their names and I'm too lazy to check or learn them properly.

I don't like the Alonso "Fred" one too much so I don't use it. I think I mostly call Alonso by his surname (ignoring the full spannish version obviously). I don't ever call Rosberg or Hulkenberg Nico for obvious reasons. I'd never call Mark Webber "Mark". He's always "Webber".

JB is often JB, sometimes first name, sometime surname, sometime Jenny.

I think as long as it is clear who people are talking about that it is 6 and half a dozen. It can be a little bit fun or silly and I'm all for a little bit of fun or silliness every now and then. Or if I'm in a bad mood I hate you all...

Definitely this.

Along with those who, when they come back to their car with a queue behind waiting to get at the pump, faff around for ages sorting out their hair, then putting lipstick on, rather than just moving off the pump to let others on.

The women are no better.

Yup. That's why I love the petrol stations back home, the guys put the fuel for you and you go, no stupid delays what-so-ever.

Rude Self-service tills in supermarkets that don't have any patience...

My local one just allows people with fuel only to jump the queue if they don't need change. Which is pretty awesome for them.
