Its always the idiot with 5 items of handluggage sitting right at one end who rushes on first so he can hold up everyone trying to get to the the other end of the aircraft while he fills all the overhead bins with his ****.

You're right. They should lighten up! The world is full of *****/scum. Whingeing isn't going to change anything. (Apart from raising your blood pressure )

I don't call it bitching, I call it educating. When scum is doing something scummy, I tell them and make them look like an **** infront of everyone.

They need to learn.

Anyone who isn't scum will probably see it anyways. Trying to point out what scummy is to scum is like pissing against the wind

That's very defeatist Claire...

obviously you get those who just give a torrent of f***'s and c***'s back... but even if you don't change their behaviour it is worth it to give them a share of annoyance right back! The angrier they get the more rewarding it is!

Then there are those who know they are in the wrong and are obviously embarrassed at what they are doing... that is rewarding too!

Might change something. If you point out a scum's scummyness it might make them a little more self aware the next time they are acting like scum (unlikely I admit, but worth a try). I also find it lowers my blood pressure...

True - but he's a pikey, not a 'scum'. There's a difference.

Ever notice that if you make a factual point correcting Pete's incorrect/misleading arguments that he can't deny or argue against...he completely ignores it?

Maybe worth investigating further - it's a tough nut, but I'm sure we'll crack it

Outrageous!

Its because of people like you, who don't stand up for yourself, that the scum think they can get away with what they do. Every time you are held up because some piece of scum wants to squeeze another £5 of petrol into his car he is stealing your time.... he is stealing a piece of your life, life you won't get back when you are on your death bed.

Make them pay for what they have taken!

So how many miles can you wring out of a tank of petrol then Pete? More than most I'll wager...

Kinell!!!

I will stand up for myself when I am offended - but to be honest, waiting my turn in a queue patiently doesn't bother me!

What about the person waiting behind you - maybe he thinks the same about you? Because he wants to fill his car and is cursing you (like you are the person in front of you) makes him scum too because 'the scummy bastid won't wait his turn'.....

Seeing as it was dead at my local filling station, I filled it up and as opposed to the normal 30 litres I normally go for when only adding 1 bottle of octane booster...and to my surprise found that my car held 60 quids worth of juice

Under 2 years ago it would have been full on 45 pounds
Inflation if thats what you can call it ..... is a bummer, it made me that mad that I proceeded to waste half my tank of fuel in 40 miles on gas guzzling madness

Still when the petrol has gone there will always be the boffins of the world running cars on potato peelings

Nor me... if there is an acceptable reason for a queue being there. People panic buying fuel is not an acceptable reason in my book!

What about the person waiting behind you - maybe he thinks the same about you?
Well he'd be mistaken, as I wouldn't be putting £5 worth in my car. In fact I wouldn't be queueing for fuel at all!

Because he wants to fill his car and is cursing you (like you are the person in front of you) makes him scum too because 'the scummy bastid won't wait his turn'.....
Indeed it would make him scum, and rightfully so!

Not for longer than a couple of minutes, no. If there is more than one car infront I drive off and go elsewhere.
