People who cut trees down. I don't mean dangerous, decrepit, leaning over trees. I mean perfectly good ones that look nice and aren't causing anyone any offence.

Poor trees Sad

People who use their hands to eat when cutlery is conveniently placed right next to their plates, for example using fingers to get rice on to a fork.

People who stand inches away from my face to talk to me really annoy me, unless we are having a pow wow or kissing back the fuck up

People who have no spatial awareness in the queue in supermarkets. I'm claustrophobic and hate it when me and my trolley are boxed in.

Oh And those who chase their food around the plate with a fork. Knives are a very useful invention.

Perfectly able bodied people (with no children/suitcases etc.) standing still on escalators, as if their legs don't work. Stop being so lazy!

Ah now jewels I have an invisible impairment and walking on an escalator would be very destabilising balance-wise. So yup, guilty. Soz*

Aren't you meant to stand still on escalators?

It annoys me when people stand still blocking the escalators so people who might want to get up faster, but standing still itself seems fairly normal.

The whole point of escalators is so you don't have to walk up the stairs. So yes I stand still, unless I'm in a hurry.

Mine is people sitting on the outside seat of a 2-seater on a bus when they're going a lot further than the next stop. Or, if really fenestra-phobic, just don't wait to be asked in a crowded bus, move to one side so folks can sit down. And don't tut when I have to move you again when I'm getting off the bus - it was your choice to hog the outside seat.

ignorant women who think that just because they are in their 40s they can barge past the pregnant woman on crutches on the bus to get the last available two seats and put her shopping on the spare one refusing to allow me access Angry

Today, the crowd of 5 people (all adults) who tried to pile onto the train before my DD and I got off.

I am the most placid person ever but it boils my piss and when it's my DD (yes okay, she's taller than me but still my child) that is pushed out the way, my inner tigress will roar.
"Let us off the bloody train first eh?" , we were at the doors to step off so hardly delaying them Hmm

McFat I agree. Seats are for bums not bags. And no excuse for barging past anyone to get the last seat.

I stand on escalators (on the proper side) and I have a monkey keyring on my Kipling bags.
