Things that annoy you

[MCR247]

What annoys you? I know there probably was a thread of this, but I thought it might be better to start a new one

One from me:

When people think that if other franchise (XC) ran a certain route (Liverpool - norwich) that they would use different stock (Voyagers)

Anyway, your turn

 

[francisoldfield]

people trying to force their way on to a train when passengers are still allighting.

and the way that were not "passengers" anymore but "customers"

and SWT's 450's on long distance journeys.

better stop there before my blood pressure goes up!

 

[ainsworth74]

The view that if Wrexham & Shropshire ran all the TOC's that they would all be as good as Wrexham.

That we have Train Managers rather than Guards.

[Donny Dave]

I get annoyed by this person. Always causing chaos on the railway when I'm out and about.

Oh for Gods sake dont start this bull again

 

[Donny Dave]

You shouldn't worry. Just had a MSN conversation with someone who's just fallen for it hook, line, sinker, fishing net + the works !

Seriously though, there is a certain photographer out there he does seem to attract chaos and disruption where ever he goes, and I have been caught up in said disruption a few times.

 

[NSEFAN]

People who can't take responsibility for their own safety, be it working or travelling on the railways, and who blame others for their own stupidity.

The prey of no win-no fee lawyers that exists nowadays to back up the above people.

hate - Celtic FC

Quality! There's not a team like Glasgow Rangers, no not one........................... etc etc. I don't really get annoyed, more irritated , just things like middle class people thinking they're upper class, bad manners, misplacing items, girlfriend moaning, nothing really exciting.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I hate - Sky, Piers Morgan, Trams, Chavs, H&S, Buses, Unbelievably Thick People, New year (Whats the big deal?), Religion, The X-Factor, Britain's got Talent, TV, Celtic FC, School, Maths tests. Glad I got all those off my chest

Indeed i wasn't!! Went my first European away tie at 7 years old. Got into Elland Road some years afterwards too in 92.

 

[Jordy]

People who sit opposite or next to you on an empty (or fairly empty) train, for no particular reason!

The worst culprits for this were the BBC, who when Virgin lost the XC franchise to Arriva, showed lots of footage giving the impression that Arriva would be bringing their pacers over from Wales!

What annoys me right now? That lying ******* Qamar Khaliq.

 

[Failed Unit]

Personal stereos where I can name the tune when the person is sat the other end of the coach.

 

[thefab444]

Station staff who interupt automated announcements for no good reason.

Unless its Led Zepp, Iron Maiden, The Who or The Eagles, in which case this type of behavior is actively encouraged

That annoys me so much

'I hope WSMR bid for the EC franchise as they will bring back loco hauled and will have table seats everywhere'

Yeah that's the twit.

People aren't really that stupid are they? Rolling stock isn't my stuff, but I know that would never happen. WSMR are so good because their network, is neat, tidy, and limited service, because of this, there on-board and customer service is exemplary

People have said it mate, like the other day someone said XC should run Liverpool - Norwich because they would use voyagers! Yes, because they have loads of voyagers, and if they did you would just get more overcrowded trains because 1 more would be out of service for repaints!

The DfT. Can they not do something so XC has to use all of its HSTs even if that means XC or the DfT having to pay for the bogie checks or whatever

I dont have a problem with my grade changing from a Operational position to a Management position, but what i am concerned about is if you want me to be a Manager i want a REAL Managers salary and not my Guards salary, otherwise i will stay as i am thank you very much.

However getting back to subject what i hate is the constant name changing of jobs in this country to me a dustman is a dustman, a bus driver is a bus driver, a road sweeper is a road sweeper, a ticket inspector is a ticket inspector a Guard is a Guard get my drift.

lol Thats quite funny... he's made a right arse of himself now that rail enthusiats have disected his story and lies etc

If you look again, you'll notice that the guy is a right ugly winker (alternative spellings available)

What you said in your second paragraph is what I meant, not an actual change of job, just a change of name of the same job.

I can't remember the last time I caused chaos on a train. And I'm not that ugly, am I?

You live in the land of roundabouts and concrete cows so that probably explains it
I think it may be sending me slightly mad too!!!

If its asleep please don't wake it up because it isn't worth the ear-piercing screaming
