Perfectly reasonable things which you unreasonably unreasonable about

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Names with umlauts in them, unless you live in Germany or nordic lands. I don't mind accents in names, or that funny dot above the i in Irish names, but names with umlauts in get on my tits. Especially Zoë. Everyone can pronounce it when it is spelled Zoe. It is just attention seeking.

at milky coffee breath

Pixie Lott. On the X Factor yesterday. As I was watching her a phrase my mum used to say came to mind - she is "a little madam"

Not as bad as usual, just still annoyed with the stupid Brazilian guy who kept on asking really personal questions (I'd only met him once, and apparently he'd seen me on the tube before) and when I refused to answer (as politely as possible) said "okay. I'll ask you about this properly when I next see you, even if it's on the tube". WHY?!

Ooh, non coffee smelling books

If your shop is anywhere near me nickelbabe, I'd be there like a shot.

Are there escalators in existence that you can actually pass a person on then Coalition?

I stand on the left! But only because I have my bag on my right shoulder and I live in constant fear of it being eaten by the mechanics of the escalator.

Sittingbourne.

i meant - my shop is in Sittingbourne, not that Sittingbourne annoys me!

my dd1 going clubbing - it means I have had to stop and knwo that I can never ever go clubbling again because I refuse to be seen dead in a club with my dd1 in the same venue and also the musci is far to loud nowehredays so I havn't been for a least 5 years now

spittimg footballers who get paid far to much money and then they spit and say yeah

People who call their young sons little man, it gives me the creeps.

Men (mainly) who wear football shirts and think they look cool.

People who think because the team they support are doing well, makes them look good, I've never figured how that works, you don't play for them you knob.

I'm with the non yoghurt lickers too, it makes me feel sick.

Women who are constantly on a diet yet never lose weight.

QuiteFickle - YABVU then

The rule is - stand on the right, pass on the left, even if you have your handbag on the right shoulder.

You're not in London are you? If so, I fear for your life (especially at rush hour)

And yes, there are many, almost all on the tube line, escalators where you can pass.

Eggs, that's it. Eggs are horrible especially when one breaks in the box, you don't notice it and the rest of the shopping in your bag gets covered in snot. It happened to me on Saturday.

QuiteFickle - I think the only place I've seen narrow escalatiors is Westfield - I'm taking the tube escalator as the standard escalator. You can even pass people with buggys on those.

oooh muggg you have reminded me
Men who tell footballers (usually through the TV) how to play - erm he is playing, you are sitting here drinking beer and ranting at the screen

OOh SPB re Pixie Lott - I had a mini-rant with another MNer a couple of days ago about her.

Didn't she love the attention and the power she had over that 16 year old welsh lad. 'I don't see where you will fit in in the industry' - what do you know about the industry, you're 12 . Plus, an industry which can fit in a thick, contrived, plastic soul essex girl with too much vibrato in her voice can surely fit in a dodgy warbler from Pontypridd.

AbsofCroissant - I was trying to remember which side to stand on . I just follow the person in front of me whole avoiding taking in the details of my surroundings when on the tube...

yes that was the particular bit I was thinking of! Also whenever anyone new came out she had to have the first word - little madam!
And I kept thinking of her song (oh yes, I can only think of one, surely it's about time for her to fade back into obscurity??) that has a background of retching men.

Sittingbourne!!

Sadly, Sittingbourne is a) a long way away and b) far too close to the home of knobhead ex who left me to be with "my friend". His family live in Rainham.

Actually, there's a another for the list - My Ex. It's been years and years and many partners ago but the thought of him still makes me unreasonably angry.

People who whistle. All of them. Particularly when they are doing it standing behind me in a queue when there is nowhere for me to hide.

I'm with anyone on milk related things. Seeing someone drinking milk out of a bottle makes me want to vomit.

People who use the word random when it's not really necessary.

The next one is particular to me - the fact that DH will put empty milk cartons next to the recycling bin despite the fact that I have recently emptied it and it has loads of room for said carton.

people who call at work wanting to make an appointment for a scale and polish/to have teeth cleaned,who ask for 'a clean' IABVU but it irks me.

GOML DH/passport - yes I do that too. I would leave it to him as he is a grown man after all, but it's just not worth a trip to the Airport Lost Property/British Embassy quite frankly.

She annoyed me too - stop gurning Pixie!!!

The woman on the news this morning who suddenly had a French accent - her phrasing was 'bad' French too

Women in polo tops - unless it's a uniform. They bizarrely seem more butch the bigger the norks.
