Poor Design, that creates work or problems for the user, which could have been completely eliminated if the designer had thought about (or sometimes indeed even used) the item when decreeing how it should be made.

Intolerance, when it makes no difference at all to the lives of the intolerant.

Inconsiderate or impolite behaviour though lack of awareness or care for people around, or an elevated opinion of the importance one’s own comfort relative to theirs.

Re: The fridge playing up on gas. We had this problem a year or so ago whilst touring in Italy, and managed to fix it temporarily by removing the grills on the fridge vents. That seemed to allow the fridge to work in 36 degree heat!
Longer term, a pair of computer fans installed in the upper vent, as explained in several posts in these forums, will give you a switched/automatic resolution!!
Wait!! What? Do you mean the actual grills to leave a hole or the cold weather grill covers? I assume the former desperate measure :)

On and off for many years.
Excessive noise after midnight.

People who refuse to listen to my dietary requirements, think it is a fad, and then get upset when I am ill.

When I give directions which are ignored and we end up in a town centre rather than going round the ring road :) lol

People who are able to travel the world (but mainly Europe) in their motorhomes and moan about their satnav, roundabout, fridge, middle lane hoggers, traffic jams, loud music, now smashing your rear light on two occasions and at £250 a pop cos your so relaxed you don’t pay more attention, now that’s another matter all together! ;)

You can come and park any time next to my van. I will feel relax! Gosh .... do I hate inconsiderate/impolite behaviour! It makes me become rude !

The stupid iriot who tried to do a 3 point turn from a solid traffic jam in the other direction without looking in my direction. I like try to predict the adverse movements of others but this time there was no way I could. It was the first "crash" stop I've had to do in a 3.5 ton van, but managed to stop about 2 metres away. Internal doors and cupboards flew open, stuff flying around. And this (very athletic) guy went crazy, his arms flayling about, face contorted in anger, obscene gestures etc. He had a child in the back! He then completed the turn with spinning steering and drive wheel smoking, and shot off, rude gestures out the window. Yes, it was a black modified BMW, wide tyres and lowered suspension. And my (jaws) dash cam had failed to capture it!!

I feel better for that vent!!!

That’ll be me then!!! No,not the design...I’m a beautifully crafted adonis:LOL::LOL:;).
But certainly intolerant of things that don’t matter that much. And of course an elevated opinion generally!!! As you can tell,maybe. ;):LOL::Grin:

Drivers who honk their horns, and not knowing if it's me or the other several car users to whom they're tooting at.
I also dislike constant kicking of football's in my space.

paint It with oil based gloss paint (stuff that needs white spirit to clean brushes), then just emulsion over it.

Some years back here a bloke 3 in front of me did that without looking & the couple on the motorbike went right through him. The Guardia directing traffic from the football match weren't happy to say the least.

We were on a site in Devon last year. Day one, a couple a few pitches away were playing loud music. We put up with it and hoped the next day would be quieter. Anyway, come the afternoon and the loud music went on again. My husband went over and very politely asked the lady if they would turn it down as it was disturbing us. She turned it down but a minute later her husband bellowed at her to turn it back up, which she did.

He then proceeded to come over to our pitch and rant at us for daring to ask him to turn his music down. He was deeply unpleasant and quite threatening.

What would you have done?
