The Simpsons annual Treehouse of Horror airs in November now (and has for a long time) because Fox has the baseball rights. The openings have taken jabs at this a few times, including one where Kodos and Kang, in an effort to make baseball more exciting by fastforwarding it, end up collapsing the universe. Remember when the Graham Norton ad played on the bottom of the Time of Angels cliffhanger?I remember hearing about that being a thing, that a ton of people complained and BBC apologized for it? I remember it because I remember that I was amazed that a channel over in UK actually listened and responded to people complaining about that--those ads are normal here, and no amount of complaints seems to stop them. Drives me crazy. On his show Graham Norton apologised and displayed an animation of him being exterminated by a Dalek. One of my TV peeves is squeezing the credits while the promo for the next episode/show plays. Another is the sheer amount of "reality" crap. At least Masterchef and the such should require a modicum of talent, but when you have shows playing on personalities you wish something genuinely good had been made. You get some truly ridiculous concepts that you wish had remained concepts. |

People who walk their dogs off-lead, particularly if it's an excitable and/or vicious one. It's very annoying if you're walking past or across a field with your dog and suddenly another owner's dog comes running towards you, or just taking your dog on a casual stroll down the street and a dog appears from nowhere yapping. You don't know if that dog is aggressive or just wants to play, and if it's aggressive then you're faced with the possibility your pet getting hurt because someone else's irresponsibility. Usually it's an owner on his/her phone ignoring what the dog is doing too. Probably why there's dog poo in on the grass verge sometimes that hasn't been picked up. Occasionally you get these dog owners who tell you off in the street for keeping your dog on a lead and 'restricting their freedom'. Yeah, restricting it to keep others safe! It would be nice to be able to walk dogs without a lead but if you do that you don't know where they might go, miss picking up their business, accidentally scare someone with a phobia, cause a dog-related injury to a person or animal, or your dog may run onto the road and get run over. I wish some dog owners would realise that with great power (IE a dog) comes great responsibility. As a (hopefully) responsible dog owner, this annoys the f*** out of me too. On that subject, bagging dog poo up and hanging it in a tree. Wtf? If you are just going to leave it hanging around (no pun intended), you may as well leave it un-bagged. It's not hard, you've already done the hard work by bagging it up - go the extra bit and put the bag in a bin! Rant over... Cheers Tony |

I wish some dog owners would realise that with great power (IE a dog) comes great responsibility. Preach it, brother: my dog has some anxiety issues (great with people, not so good with other dogs he doesn't know really well) so whenever we go out he's always on a lead and kept well away from others. On more than one occasion, I've had free-range owners complain that because he's growled at their yappy who got inside his comfort zone without me being able to ask someone to back up a little, I should be more careful with him. Those owners are clueless. They'd be the first to blame you if their dog attacked yours, even though it would obviously be their fault. |

Addendums: - When I'm trying to listen to someone/something, and someone nearby is coughing--just once!--every 30 seconds. I understand it's not their fault, but christ it's annoying
- People who 'yell yawn.' Lock that s**t down, it's annoying

I would add that cats should be micro-chipped and licenced too with mandatory collars designed to stop them leaving their owners property......might just save a few million garden birds a year and stop the bloody things taking a dump in my garden.......  as you have probably guessed I am not a big dog & cat lover.....hehehe  |

Cheers Tony Perhaps some of those people are tying it to the tree so they can pick it up on the return journey rather than walk around carrying a bag of poo for ages (i.e near where I live there's a 2 mile path down to the beach with no bins apart from either end, many people walk their dogs down there and I could understand not wanting to carry it for that length of time), not saying I agree with it but at least they had the decency to pick it up and most of the bags are biodegradable (and I think I;d notice if a tree was decorated with dog bags) , so many people just leave it lying there, they are fine with it until they tread in it... |

Cats may stretch themselves across your leg. |

Well you'd think so, but to be honest there's a tree that now looks like a poo shrine (there's so many on there)  . I love dogs (more than humans ), but not sure that dog licences are the way to go. I still remember the old licences, and it was very difficult to police those who didn't have them. You'll never fix the minority  Cheers Tony |

People who put apostrophes where they don't belong.
People who refuse to respond to a message, a phone call, a text, an email, but then proceed to complain when others do the same to them.
