6.30am, very dark and wet on fast very busy motorway.
People driving poxy, silly petrol guzzling 4x4s or people carriers that are much higher up than my modest, economic 3 door car. They get right up close and lights are so effing fancy and bright they nearly blind my poor tired eyes - drives me mental and Im not sure I can take any more- and the clocks have even changed yet.

Same category, people in fast cars thinknig they car come right up behind you and bully you into moving into another lane so they can get past- regularly ignoring the fact that said bullied driver is unable to move over/ go fasts due to an obstruction
or slow driver ahead.

poeple who put their rear car fog lights on. Do they not realise HOW BRIGHT THEY ARE???

I have never known it foggy enough for rear fog lights and I have been driving for 24 years! BAN THEM (fog lights not drivers...although that would make the roads nice and quiet!)

we regularly need them here but I hate people who use them unnecessarily they probably don't realise they can be fined for misusing them.

GiraffeYoga · 27/10/2010 21:42

Ooh yes. Worse I think are those who use front fog lights as a fashion accessory. Twats

borderslass · 27/10/2010 21:43

or those who think there spot lights stupid friend

kelly2525 · 27/10/2010 21:45

Everything at the moment

Noisy eaters

Slow drivers

Children

Old people

Midwives

Bastard men from hell who impregnate you then fuck off leaving you to get on with it

Stupid fucking women on the TV programme i have on

Friends who dont have the fucking internet, but can afford it, either turning up at my door or asking me at work to "put the internet on" and search for something for them

Im just a little bundle of joy arent i?

Shodan · 27/10/2010 22:06

DH's noisy eating and his inability to remember that it drives me insane.

Dh asking me fifteen times if I'm alright just because I'm not smiling (I have one of those faces)

Anyone asking questions/making demands of me before I've had breakfast.

My mother. In so many ways, but mostly her way of lauding the meagre efforts my brothers make on her behalf and ignoring/forgetting the ones I make.

People who can't understand why I like solitude, peace and quiet on a regular basis.

God I'm a misery guts.

9 year old girls being mean to my 9 year old girl.

lanismum · 27/10/2010 22:58

Cyclists that ignore red lights and try and mow me down....

Snoring, from ANYONE, newborns included Blush

curlymama · 27/10/2010 23:08

People who cough and put voice into it so it sounds way more dramatic than it needs to.

Cyclists that don't stay near the kerb, or worse, two of them riding side by side.

MadameGazelle · 27/10/2010 23:16

People in cars being inconsiderate to cyclists on the road

SoMuchToBats · 27/10/2010 23:28

People who blow their noses loudly, especislly at the table. People who chomp their food, or eat with their mouths open. people who are late (unlesss there is a very good, unavoidable reason).

brazenhussy · 28/10/2010 00:16

People who allow their children to interrupt them mid conversation - where do they think the children will learn good manners from if not from their parents?

Children being given such high status in society/by their parents/at school. Stick them back down mines I say Angry

onceamai · 28/10/2010 00:23

MIL, SIL1, SIL1'S children, SIL2, BIL2, SIL1 doesn't can't provide BIL any more because she made his blood boil.

Bad table manners, teachers who can't spell, teachers with poor grammar, PE teachers, scroungers, loud mobile phone conversations, cold callers, health visitors, doctors receptionists, gum chewing, meanness (MIL), ingrates (SIL1 and SIL2 especially).

Oh the list could be endless and bed calls.

jacksmomma · 28/10/2010 00:35

When someone says I'm just being honest when what they really mean is I'm just being a bitch or people who say no offence but then say something really
mean

DH when he has a pee and leaves public hairs & urine droplets on toilet, yuck I hate this.

People who sneeze in shops & you have to walk pass them, could cover their mouths.

People who say "see you later" and know that you won't be.

Dog shit on pavements.

and this saying "We're all in this together" no we're not.

mrsoliverramsay · 28/10/2010 09:45

DH eating as if it is his last meal on earth

DH using my tweezers to pluck his ear hair

DH using my tweezers to pluck his nose hair

DH's inability to close anything he opens

DH's inability to put anything in the bin

SeaTrek · 28/10/2010 09:54

Loud eating noises.

Anything that saves someone a few seconds but ends up causing me a lot more work.

People who are consistently late.

Loads more....

Gillybean2010 · 28/10/2010 11:02

People interrupting mid-sentence to tell you what they did that was similar (at least wait until I've finished speaking!)

DH not being able to close cupboard doors after him

DH's over-the-top cough

DH's ability to cook (Super Noodles don't constitute dinner, in my book) and his subsequent puzzled look when I tell him this

I'm with Egg on this one...Jordan

People on motorways that think that because you have a small car (and they usually have a hulking big 4x4 or something), you are not entitled to overtake, and must sit in the slow lane all the time - the fast lane is for their use only!

Loads more, but I think I might sound bitter and twisted. [hwink]

MrsGhoulOfGhostbourne · 28/10/2010 11:24

Ebayers who clog up the post-office queue @ lunchtime with a massive IKEA bag full of tiny parcels to laboriously post while asking detailed quaestions about postage options on each one.
Old people who clog up queues @ lunchtime when they could shop any time.
SAHMs who clog up Starbuskes with their buggies, keeping their poor tethered toddlers in high chairs with a muffin to keep them quiet.
Adult cylcists riding on the pavement Kamikaze cyclists riding the wrong way down a one-way street - and the twatty gvt who made it legal - legal but still lethal.

saltyair · 28/10/2010 11:34

Spitting. So, so disgusting.

Noisy eaters.

People who overtake queues of traffic in the outside lane and then try to push in at the front.

People who drive at 45mph on a straight, national speed limit road. And then continue to drive at 45mph through a 30mph village zone.

DH eating Muller Fruit Corners. He slurps and gulps, licks the lid AND the carton. He has one every evening and it makes me want to stick my spoon in his eye.

DH leaving his laptop bag on the bottom corner stair, JUST out of the way so we wouldn't fall over it but still IN the way because I can see it.

DH leaving all his coats on the newel post at once but still insisting we don't need a coat hook on the inside of the downstairs toilet door because we should always hang our coats in our wardrobes.

Nothing else. I'm a very tolerant and live-and-let-live person.
