My list as a starter for 10....

Parking inconsiderately
Not picking up dog poo
Not thanking me when I've pulled over to let them through or let them out of a side street.

Spitting on the street. It's disgusting and there is absolutely no need for it.

Stopping just inside the door of the supermarket

Spitting in the street!

Dirty &%%=-/*+=%*-=%&&% 's!!!!!

Standing in the middle of pavements having a group chat so no-one can walk past
Spitting chewing gum or just gobbing in the street
Smoking in my face at bus shelters
And yes stop leaving dog poo everywhere!

Driving past my child and me at 40mph or more when we are walking along a road with no pavements. It is a 30 zone and I think (and do) slow down to 20 when passing a child and parent as I think there is always a chance the child bolts unexpectantly.

Tailgating - it demonstrates utter stupidity and I think people should lose the vote if they do this as they are clearly too thick to understand even the simple things in life.

caramel i was going to say exactly that

dirty bastards indeed

also, turn off your fricking engine if you're waiting outside school for your child

we all know you're sitting there actually in the car because you're illegally parked and want to make a quick getaway if the police turn up again, but i properly choked crossing the road the other day

spitting
littering
dog poo
driving too fast
driving too close
crap parking
<getting older and grumpy>

Can't think of any off the top of my head that are serious but I wish DP would stop telling me when he is going to the toilet.

"Just gonna go for a wee"
"I don't care, DP!"

Next time he tells me again

I wish people would stop:

Talking to me
bothering me
expecting me to talk to them

Addressing women or a group where there is a woman/women present as "guys". I am not a fucking guy, fuck off with your lazy, casual sexism.

Wish people would use their indicators when driving.

Stop saying, "You must be mad." when they hear I have 4 dcs.

Stop claiming your dc is a genius. It sounds silly even if they are MENSA.

Not cleaning up after themselves (at home and at work)

Putting people down to make themselves feel better

Trying to get on the bus without paying/using expired ticket, and then arguing with the driver won't let them on

Parking over most of the pavement so buggies and wheelchairs cant get through

Not being responsible for their child in a public place

(Can you tell the kind of day I've had)

Farting in a shop/queue and then walking off leaving you in a cloud of stench.

why is 'guys' sexist?
Genuine question.

Posting about the working classes as if they were another species.

Oohhh the parking, don't get me started , there are people round here, especially near the schools that park their whole car on pavements, not just a couple of wheels up the kerb, but across the whole bloody pavement so nothing can pass. Last time I checked the pavement wasn't a car park, especially when the road is wide enough and/or their are driveways. Selfish bastards. Rant over!

using things like Comic Relief as a platform for their hideous racism. Fuck off with that, you don't give money to BRITISH charities either you hypocritical fuckwit.

Smoking over the cash point just before I use it

Oh and people leaving their dog's crap all over the pavements.....

Going on Jeremy Kyle.

I've just realised I've kind of ranted over what other posters have already mentioned, but the parking and dog crap has been particularly bad this week!

*there not their, see I get so cross I can't think straight!

Checkout assistants pausing to read the cover of a magazine they are scanning. Makes me rage!

Patients smoking right outside the door of the hospital I work at so I have to walk through a film of smoke.

My neighbours to stop leaving their blue bins out overnight on really windy days so the whole estate gets covered in their shitty plastic and cardboard when the bins blow over.

People in shops not acknowledging me and continuing a conversation with a colleague while serving me yet acting as if I am FUCKING INVISIBLE!!!!
