When you want tips on how to live with R-CPD but you just hear about Botox all the time. There is no way I am having Botox. You can live with R-CPD if there are cheap and easy and helpful ways to do so. Botox isn't on the NHS, is expensive, can come with side effects, and just turns you into a constant burper, which I don't want to be. I'm too bashful for all that.

People who come on WP just to make personal attacks at members for not being logical enough.

One of my pet peeves is when someone starts using claims of racism to support their insane bs. I don't care if they are black, white, yellow, red, or something else. Anyone of any race can be a total idiot and it is not racist to point out their ignorance and stupidity.

A similar pet peeve of mine is when people bring gender into an argument. Say an argument about something unrelated. Then when they are losing they cry "misogynist' not only does it derail the argument it also makes me have to explain why nothing I said was a personal attack against women in general.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the member who started the other pet peeve thread.

Jet Skis. And drones. In fact any past time that creates a lot of noise that only one person is getting any pleasure out of.

Enlightened centrists.

Teenage girls who laugh at me when they see me with my walker.

It annoys me that when most people around here get in their cars, the first thing they do is start the motor. Only then do they sort out their papers, check their phone for messaes, and put on their sea belts, before driving off. When they stop it's the reverse; switching off their motors is the last thing they do!

One gang used to go out on the town, and on their return, they'd park outside my window and yak for 20 minutes or more, you've got it; with the noisy deisel motor still running!

Why do they do it? What purpose does it serve other than to waste money and contribute to noise and fumes polution?

A related peeve is that, whenever I pass a stuffed rubbish bin, it's alwys half full of plastic bottles, cardboard, and other recyclables (for which the appropriate bin is usually within spitting difference).

When so few herd humans are so disinclined to make the least effort to lower their carbon footprints, does the race deserve to survive?

Pet peeves as a bus interior cleaner:-

When people shove their trash down the sides of the seats

When people spit their gum out at their feet so it's on the floor, or when they stick their gum on the back of the seats or the windows

When parents let their kids put their sticky dirty hands on the windows

When teenagers write graffiti on the walls and seats with a permanent marker

When people unpack something they bought and just leave all the packaging on the bus

When people spill their drink everywhere

When people throw up

When people take one sip from a bottle of drink and leave the rest (we're allowed to keep left food and drink if it's unopened)

When people leave hats and usually just one glove (we have to hand in clothes as lost property even if it is just one glove), so we have to keep going down to the office to hand it in, which takes up time


The way humans aren't really any different from wild animals. If you clean up after wild animals at the zoo you'd be cleaning up a lot of poop. Humans may not leave their poop behind but they still leave their trash behind. At least animal poop is natural waste rather than plastic.

To play devil's advocate, at least plastic doesn't smell like s**t or spread E. coli. :P

We're kinda like those hippos that die because they pollute their water source with endless waste.

At the very least, we're no brighter than they are.
