Ooh, yes; people who seem to relish other people's misfortune. My MIL is like this-we call her 'The prophet of doom and gloom'!

JamieLeeCurtis · 01/02/2011 19:52

mis-pronouncing an H, apixie

Teachermumof3 · 01/02/2011 19:52

'Haitch' = the 8th letter in the alphabet.

You might recognise it as 'aitch'.

aPixie · 01/02/2011 19:54

Oh I see. I kept saying it out loud and thinking eh?

I thought it might have something to do with 'H' but though I would ask to be sure. Blush

People who park cars/vans/skips/sodding wheelie bins over the whole pavement so you have to skoot out into the road with buggy. Have only really noticed how annoying and inconsiderate this is since having a baby and now wonder how people in wheelchairs get on. It must be infuriating!
People who have 13 year old 'children' in p&c parking spaces.
Following tractors on long windy roads with no where to overtake.

Bumble - I feel your pain. Our neighbours have just moved to Sydney and post regularly with photos of their mansion and pool, tales of trips to the coast etc, weather forecasts, his fab job involving worldwide travel and so on. Bitter, moi? Hell yeah. I look like I'm sucking on a lemon.

BurnAfterReading · 01/02/2011 20:09

shouting from the bottom of the stairs - walk up and ask me, or wait until i come down.

up their own arse people (e.g. BIL commented that his friends were nice, poor but nice - what an arsehole)

bosses who pick at the really silly things that mean nothing and won't deal with the actual important problems

People who leave dogs barking all day and night in the back garden...take them for a walk ffs!

Sorry to go off the subject, I may even start a new thread but wouldn't you agree that it's much easier to list the things we hate than the things we like??

I realised this about myself when asked which famous people I admired - I immediately listed the ones I hated, and I had to think long and hard about the ones I actually liked...

Look out for new thread about things that make us smile....

LollipopViolet · 01/02/2011 20:10

right now a group/site type thing on facebook called 'earthy motherhood' which is all about bf/cloth nappies and ap, stuff like that. without going on, providing information about the risks of vaccinating children is one thing, making personal attacks on parents who do is bloody bullying and i'm so furious about this. yes, i have already left the group. phew

drivers behind me that bully me at roundabouts. i want to get home alive - they should have left earlier!!
