That's horrible. We don't let our cat anywhere but the back garden while we're out there for fear of other animals, or things like traffic and pricks who want to film themselves kicking animals or similar.

What sort of dog was it?

Oh I thought you knew the owner but realised your neighbour was helping. If they can find it and the owner hasn't been making sure it's contained they can probably do something about it and hope they do.

I have dogs and that sort of thing pisses me off as people then tar all dog owners with the same brush.

Staffie. I know they get a bad rep when looked after properly there isn't a softer dog. My grandparent had a couple and they were lovely. My neighbour was doing his garden and heard a commotion so stuck his head over the fence and noticed what was going on and jumped over to pull them apart. I heard him shout else I wouldn't have had a clue what was going on. To be honest I don't know him so my first thought was to wade out there effing and blinding at him! But he's sound, he even came out with a torch to help look for one of the other cats that had gone up a tree scared and then got stuck!

I don't mind cats but wouldn't have one for that reason, I'd be worried about when they didn't come back and being hit by a car etc

All depends on the owner and how they have been brought up (or not in some cases).

One of the neighbours has got a cat that must only go in their house at mealtimes and overnight, it's always wandering around the area even a few streets away. I'd never be able to rest easy

Unfortunately the wife loves cats. Over the years we've had some bad luck with regards to having children and it didn't look like we would get one so she ended up with 6 cats. The remaining 5 are now terrified, usually they are never more than a few yards away and we didn't see 3 this morning at feeding time. The wife is now pregnant and it's stress she doesn't Need!

How do you enforce that? My cats both go out but luckily we back on to a bit of a nature reserve and live in a cul-de-sac. I do worry about them encountering dogs but there aren't many on my estate apart from a couple of yappy Chihuahua things, which the cats would take the piss out of.

She was a rescue cat so is naturally scared of most things, when she'd occasionally try jumping up on the fence we'd be on her like a shot so she doesn't really try to escape any more, she gets 15 mins in the garden and then comes back in. I'm too paranoid to leave her out there without keeping a beady eye on her at all times

I have two cats and don't let them out because we live near a busy road. I've never worried too much about dogs though because cats are far faster and nimbler than them but I suppose if they're off guard and get in the jaws of some bastard dog then they're done for.

I would have killed the dog if I had the chance. Screw driver to the brain or shovel over the head. Nothing messes with my pussies.

Middle lane knobheads. Move over to the left! Same as people in the outside lane for no reason.

I'm a middle lane knobhead if the inside lane is heavy with lorries and there's room for me to move back into lane one but I know I'll be back out again in 20 seconds.. Constantly changing lanes I think is dangerous, but I take your point, particularly with third lane, which is a place I rarely visit.
I hate it when you're on an A road doing 60 and someone wants to get past and they hang out half way across the white line right up your backside.

Depends on the duration. If it’s someone with a very clear distance of road in the first lane, then move over. But overtaking a convoy of HGV’s whatever, only a mentalist is weaving in and out. It’s happening too much now, officers are turning a blind eye to undertaking because sometimes folk are forced to doing it.

Those meat and fish packs where you pull open from one corner. Never works for me so end up using scissors.

Nothing wrong with your first paragraph if you are constantly over taking.
The issue comes when someone is in the middle lane for no reason whatsoever.

I think they genuinely think that they can sit there doing 75mph as it’s too fast for ‘the slow lane’. I’d ban anyone doing it over a period of more than 2miles.

People who can't be arsed to look after their dog. One got into my back garden yesterday and killed my cat. It took my neighbour pulling at the dog and me kicking it in the face for it to let the cat go and even then it took a lot of hefty boots. I've never seen such brute force, if it had gone into a garden with a kid playing it would have killed them without a doubt.

When someone needs a favour and asks you by saying "would you like a job?" or "you don't fancy cleaning the car out do you?" etc

They might as well say "You're a c*nt if you don't say yes to this question"

Parents and partners are keen purveyors of this technique, usually when the recipient is lazing around or obviously not being helpful.

My old ma-in-law used to do that. She would say "I need xxx doing" before then asking if I had time, could I help... But the first part always made it sound like an "order"...

People who announce things on social media
When they get replies they reply to them all saying "We must catch up soon"

When the slices aren't arrange like in the image below, but when the slice on the bottom is the first one you come to when opening the packet where it says open.
