What really gets your goat?

[308rws]

Politics - career politicians, the number of politicians in this country, politicians who don't/won't answer direct questions, politicians who don't reply to their constituents or on behalf of their constituents, politicians who haven't got a clue what is going on, politicians lacking moral values and standards, lack of holding poor performance to account ... or, maybe it's the British Democratic process?

BBC journalism ... how long have you got?

Professional dog walkers with free running dogs they cannot control. Dog owners - who cannot recall their dog, who cannot or will not control their dog in public, who don't clear up after their dog when appropriate, who encourage aggressive behaviour in pet dogs.

With apologies to our US cousins ... default US English spell checkers.

Folk who have been involved in fieldsports for a year or two who think they know better and more than those who have been involved for a lifetime !
My real pet hate though are those amongst us that participate but would and do throw others under the bus to suit their chosen path in fieldsports thinking their's is superiour

Excellent post

Shooting and incinerating pigs rather than putting them on the shelves of supermarkets as sausages. And against a backdrop of families with a need to visit food banks.

The term: "Practical Shotgun", when it should be "Combat Shotgun".

Excellent post

Like this kind gentleman fairly local to me that complained about the noise from a once a month clay shoot that I used to help out on - 3 ish hours on a Sunday morning. Turned out to be a keen pheasant shooter, sadly the clay shoot is no more

Or c*ntgunning. Ruined one of the iconic rifle ranges of the world to satisfy a bunch of morons who live in a fantasy world-and not a good fantasy either.

People who have no consideration or care for others and treat the world as their own and their own garbage can.

And bullies.

And predictive text, spell checkers, and too small font size (those who recently started needing reading glasses will understand).

I totally agree

Americans who think less than 50 guns in their collection leaves them at a disadvantage

As for other posts I will have to check the ignore list...

This really happened? Yes the concept gets my goat.

I think that’s happening because there are a few steps between being a pig and being a sausage that can’t be completed at the minute.
No farmer is going to dump livestock at a total loss unless theres no choice.

People.

PAINTBALL, that encourages people to think that pointing weapons at other people is acceptable and normal.

 

[Bavarianbrit]

Empty energy & beer cans and ciggy cellophane wrappers just thrown away. The few truck drivers still in existence who are hogging the middle lane when it is empty in the left lane.
Skunk smokers wafting everybody with their farts.

Yes, that's a good one!
"Integral" is another irritating word, as in gardening catalogues that advertise stuff like "watering can with integral spout". wtf?

Holistic.

Why in the **** every shooter/hunter/stalker in the media is taking a holistic approach is beyond me. What the hell does it even mean? Prime culprit is Byron Pace, used to have a great podcast, now just a mire of bull**** and misery about the end of the world.

That and David Attenborough.

Oh and "Regenerative Agriculture" basically what every small family farm has been doing for the last 500 years.

was always fun to bung a few in the freezer before the stag do to be fair. One of them in the thigh meat always slowed up the runners

Feed them at a loss?
