To be driven mad by....

Nappies - could I just say that those children on your profile page are very lovely and, if they belong to you, you should hire them out as 'adorable children to rent' and if they don't (and you just cut some pics out of a magazine) then whoever they do belong to is very lucky

My tax burden.
The amount of time I spend doing admin for the Govt instead of earning real money.
The DVLA being unable to tell the difference between my very ancient off-road vehicle and the shiny one that I drive everyday.
Banks who are still charging over the odds for 'unauthorised' overdrafts.
Peabrained management who insist all the staff sit in offices from 8am til 6pm, thus putting a burden on public transport and their families.
Government 'focus' groups that cost millions.
Murdoch's crappy media.
Pointless celebrities.

I'll shut up now. I'm really grinding my teeth!!!

"- middle lane drivers (FGS MOVE!)

• mariah carey - now I know she's not an action but just being alive is annoying enough
• doctor's receptionists demanding to know what is wrong with me before they give me an appointment (when you're an MD love I'll tell you)
• wonderpets
• skinny people moaning about their 'enormous stomachs etc' give me a break..."

LOL dances!
middle lane drivers are sphincters, the lot of them!!
mariah carey - here here (tho the funny dancing redeeming her is a point. the one id really do for would be that canadian one... whats she called? titanic bird, ooh, i could strangle that woman)
dr's receptionists - yes!! who dies and made them god???
wonderpets however, you are wrong about. wonderpets are BRILLIANT
skinny people and their tunnies - lol. well, comparatively speaking... (i am one of these people. (sort of anyway, am a def size 12 now and pushing next size up in some stores... not that i care!)

She needs some fresh air IMO! A nice walk to and from the school would sort her out a treat!

I try to rise about it all. If I allowed my inner grumpy old woman to get out I'd never get her back in again

On the subject of mums not getting out of the car at school. I confess to doing that in the mornings but I never park on the chevrons - I'm usually just late for work. DS's new best mate's mum doesn't get out of her car at school - ever! If the boys decide that they want best mate to come to our house I have to go out to the car to see his mum. Which piddles me off a little. But actually she does have a little one plus 3 other kids and I do wonder if she'd suffering from PND a little as she seems to be struggling a little atm

People who let their dogs poop on the pavement, grass etc. and dont clean it up.
NO IT'S DIGUSTING -especially the ones who let the pooch poop in the MIDDLE of the pavement then just walk away!!!

People who walk in the middle of the path very very slowly and dont leave you room to get past so you have to drag along or walk in the road.

• Have trained my 3 yr old to ram his pushchairs into the backs of their legs!

The stupid parents who park on the zigzag lines outside the school, same ones everyday, god forbid little johnney should have to walk more then 10 steps.
Have taken down various number plates and reported them to the police. It is after all an offence to stop on the zig zags.

Mothers who stop to gossip in the middle of the sumermarket alse or street blocking everyone with their prams and buggies.
Sorry guilty of this one myself!!

People who leave their shopping trollies in the middle of the alse and wonder around the shop, to retern with an arm full of shopping put it in the trolly and go off again.
Maybe its their only form of exercise!

Kids on heelies.
saw one little kid go ar$e over t*t in a pair - poetic justice since the little shit had been terrorising the grannies in the supermarket

Young people who dont give up their seat for elderly people on buses. -
Annoying but what can ye do!

People who talk through the whole film in the cinama, (if you want to talk go for a meal instead.)
Very annoying - have been driven more than once to tell someone to shut it during a film

People who tell you the ending of the book you are only half way through.
Sorry guilty of this one myself

Shop staff to busy chatting to each other to serve you.
Pet hate - if you want to gossip go hide amongst the clothes rack or in the freezers - if you are at a till you should be focussed on the general public.

People who put their feet on seats, or their bags, shopping ect.
Once gave up my seat for an older person on the bus who then proceeded to put their shopping on it.!! Took the shopping back off the seat myself and sat back down!

OOh, girls I want you to be proud of me. I was in Next this morning and the two blokes behind the counter carried on talking while they were serving me until eventually I said 'you know, it is rude to keep talking while you are supposed to be serving a customer' - they looked so surprised and the bloke serving me said 'sorry madam' straight away to which I said 'fine, but it really is annoying'
HA! Cheeky b*ggers.

It's on Nick Jr for pre-schoolers. My 16mth DS loves it, and so do I! (but it is quite irritating I suppose for some people but not me).

No, I disagree - the wonderpets are fab and love them (and they are on right now ). And Mariah is also wondeful (because she's clearly mental and thinks she can dance). But middle lane drivers are a nightmare, and so are doctor's receptionists 'is it an emergency?' - no coz then I'd go to f-ing A & E, wouldn't I, you stupid cow!!???

Now sing this together, Baby penguin, we are coming to sa-ve you, the wind is blow-ing, it's blowing ha-rd, this is serious....Linni, Tuck and Ming Ming too, we're wonderpets and we'll save you.... (thought you'd appreciate that!!!!)

OK - my list (in addition to Kimi's)

• middle lane drivers (FGS MOVE!)
• mariah carey - now I know she's not an action but just being alive is annoying enough
• doctor's receptionists demanding to know what is wrong with me before they give me an appointment (when you're an MD love I'll tell you)
• wonderpets
• skinny people moaning about their 'enormous stomachs etc' give me a break...

Oh I am a miserable arse this morning!

Well, don't diet too much coz it's bad for you . Whereas eating cake is not (and one day I will prove it!) Good on you though, and it's a good incentive to be sponsered (because if you give up noone will want to pay up!!!! )

Hooray! I thought I'd killed the thread by being skinny!!! I may be a skinny minnie but I'm not keen on obsessive skinnies that don't eat cake or drink whole milk and push their salad around the plate before saying 'oh, I am really stuffed, I couldn't eat another thing'.

I'm skinny but I keep my hips and elbows tucked in! (they bruise easily! )

Agree with all those except heelies - I love them and would buy a pair for myself if I weren't too damn old.

Greensleeves: we're calling our baby Jonny, and I'm hoping he'll be reasonably little as he's due in three weeks.

Can I add a specific London niggle: skinny girls who stand with their hips & elbows pushed out on the tube escalator so you can't walk past them. Overweight people make an effort to make room - skinny girls are oblivious.

oops, missing!

Kimi, you know, I have always felt I was missig a twin and now I've found you . I love you too!

NO - vile.

Yes - say excuse me, and shove past.

NO - they're idiots and need educating on road safety...not that they'll take any notice, cos they think it won't apply to them.

Yes - we've probably all done it at some stage.

NO - tell em to take the trolley with them, lol.

Yes - but then my boys haven't discovered heelies and tbh I've yet to see any in action around here.

Yes - blame the parents for failing to instil some basic manners into them. (well the parents get blamed for everything else).

NO - tell em to sod off to the cafe instead.

Yes - I'd forget anyway.

NO - tis RUDE.

NO - again tis RUDE.

I am definitely turning into my mother, a fact that I'm proud of, lol. (disclaimer my mother has been dead for 8 years and everyone remembers her with a rosy tint, lol)
