I've thought of another one (well two, actually).

Private jets

Helicopters when not used for safety/healthcare etc reasons - for environmental reasons and because they are dangerous when they crash (eg accidents in Glasgow and in Vauxhall, London). They are needed for air ambulances etc, but not for pleasure flights.

Yes I wonder how many people fall over each year due to these leads. The other week I saw a dog tying itself up around a cycle-calming bollard on a shared use path as well - they're not great for anyone.

Those bloody electric scooters. I'm disabled and cannot walk very fast,and twice in the last couple of weeks,I've narrowly avoided being hit by one because I can't jump out of their way,as they expect me to.

My mum says that someone was hit by one in her town a few weeks ago and quite badly injured. The guy was known for being reckless and going too fast on it. Hopefully he will be prosecuted. People do need them, but they should not be able to go faster than 4mph (I know that makes me sound like a man with a red flag and early cars, but they go on pavements, so should go at walking pace).

Greed with specific respect to the bottlenecking of wealth and the legal obligation firms have to prioritise shareholder profits over fair deals for customers, staff and proper investment in infrastructure. Greed would also cover banning trying to make a profit out of what should be services - so all transport, health, education, cleaning and street maintenance.

Litter dropping. I fucking hate the thoughtless scumbags with every inch of my being.

What is a gammon???

Current negative term used by left/liberals for ultra-traditionalist right-wingers, especially middle-aged or older white males (though plenty of people outside these categories could be called gammons!), who stereotypically go red in the face at the thought of anything happening now that wouldn't have been accepted in the 1950s.

People who nick my parking space. Bitter nah 😥

(nb. This does not cover everyone who is the right age to be a baby boomer. This is about the mental attitude that is associated with Boomers)

Cigarette smoking OUTSIDE in public areas?? You can piss off, you threw me out of the pub, where the fuck do you want me to go now? Down the drains??

Yes please, thank you. I would like smoking to done down drains. Or to be fully banned.

TooManyPJs · 20/07/2022 15:32

Smoking outdoors (out of your own house).

People burning stuff in their garden, especially on hot days. Fuckers.
