Petrol prices.
Smokers in car with their kids in the back.
Money for school trips for this or that.

I have a long list but wanted to hear yours.

Uncomfortable shoes!

Are you ME, mamarara?

Actually, I don't have a dog, so, no.

Self-righteous cyclists clad in luminous spandex, dispensing spurious smirks at drivers, and curiously pedestrians too.

People that say define other people as tories

People that take things/themselves even slightly seriosuly

Rude people on public transport. Had a massive rage issue tongiht on my way home.

It was crowded and people just all mass together in no order. But when the bus arrived he pushed his way to the front saying he was first and in physically pushing me out the way while I was stepping from the kerb to the bus, I lost my footing and fell on the road between the bus and the kerb. My ankle's a bit swollen now.

My god he got mouth from me. I called him an inconsiderate selfish fucking bastard and asked him what his fucking problem was given that there about 10 people waiting for the bus and the bus has about 30 seats on it. He said "there's a queue & I was first," he didn't even apologise and stalks all the way to the back of the bus.

At least the other passengers gave him evil comments all the way. It was so funny. One of the guys said "oh gang way everyone, look his lordship is getting off the bus, make way." It was so funny.

I'm in a bad mood at the moment but I hope he gets hit by a fucking bus tomorrow.

^ Sorry didn't explain it was crowded at the bus stop and about 4 buses stop at the one stop. Most people weren't even getting on the bus we were waiting for and he pushes us all out the way.

  • UHT Milk served in places that have fridges. Sheer laziness.
  • Squirty aerosol cream
  • People who write "your" when they mean "you're"

My blood rarely boils these days but it simmers sometimes in the face of

Smokers
Dangerous Drivers
Rudeness
Sweeping generalizations
Smugness

I've now had it with public transport the way I feel now. Old people, pregnant women, I don't fucking care, I will not be considerate to anyone any longer as people are so fucking rude. It's every man and woman for themselves on buses and tubes and I'm joining them.

Maybe i'll feel better tomorrow.

Abuse towards humans/animals/environment. When I see/hear any of it really makes my heart rate go up and fills me with fury that I can't do anything about it.
Then I start blaming myself for not trying to do something about it and that makes my blood boil even more.
I'm not going to live very long...

Then

Celeb/womens/lifestyle magazines, hate them ALL. Reality TV. Politicians. The feeling we are being manipulated into all this crap.

Unpickedup dog poo, especially when I/DS/DP step in one.

Very slow drivers and 4x4 drivers who live in the city get me into (quiet) road rage.

DP being a walking disaster as soon as he gets into the house: all lights on, all doors (including cupboards and fridge) open, never heard of toilet brush, thinks his farts are "quality", never tidies ANYTHING away unless specifically told to, neven finds anything)

My father. Don't get me started or I'll have a heart attack right here.

I'm guilty of that Hoity.[phone in quiet carriage]

Isn't that lazy and scrounging others peace and quiet ?

Just curious.

Dog shit on streets & parks.

And the 'tough' guys who own fighting dogs and don't keep them on leash (oodles around my way)

In Traffic:

Tailgaters
Queue skippers
Aggressive blowing of horn because light turned green a nano second ago and the car in front hasn't moved

On public transport
Sprawling yourself across two seats when there are people standing
Sitting beside me when you reek of stale cigarettes
Leaving fast food wrappers on the seat when you leave

In Shops
People causing unnecessary delays at the checkout
Neighbours standing chatting with their trolleys completely blocking the aisle
Shoppers 'holding' a place in the queue with a trolley or basket while they skoot around buying loads more stuff

On Mumsnet
People bringing their MIL and her faults into every bloody thread
People picking on some tiny petty thing in the Opening Post and ignoring the actual question
People talking about newbies as if they're in the fourth form
Posters telling other posters to 'jog on'.

yes the horn blowing is annoying. I had an old man behind me today hooting me at a roundabout. Would he rather i had an accident not giving way to the right. so so annoying
