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

People who self pity

Peter Andre

Dog shit

TootAndCommon · 01/02/2011 20:49

massive 4x4s in tight urban areas
massive 4x4s mashing up bridleways in the countryside
massive 4x4s parked nose to tail in the village blocking out the gorgeous views they came to see
4x4 drivers who don't see that it is other people's right to think whatever they like of 4x4s - they have views based on their own experiences.

That'll do for now!

Oh, and the ConDems ill-thought out badly planned prematurely implemented cuts.

NobdieIAm · 01/02/2011 20:50

People who just blah on about themselves all the time
Boasting
Exclusivity
Making in jokes in front of people that aren't in on it, and not explaining

MrsWentworth · 01/02/2011 20:50

People who can't spell or punctuate.

People who say 'haitch'.

Anything to do with "celebrities".

Beards of any description.

The Guardian (why did beards make me think of the Guardian, I wonder?)

Day nurseries.

Left-wingers.

People who feed their children in supermarkets.

People who let their children run around in restaurants.

4x4s (except my father's Land Rover).

Judgy-pants people. Grin Grin Grin

SpeedyGonzalez · 01/02/2011 20:52

Self-absorbed chatterboxes who are bad listeners. I have to bite my hands to stop myself slapping the feckers.

Janos · 01/02/2011 20:54

Whistling on public transport (hanging is too good)

Actually, whistling in general

Child abuse

Cruelty to animals

Jobsworths

Bullies

Cat hairs

Professional victims (woe is me, life is crap)

sungirltan · 01/02/2011 20:56

i forgot about 'haitch' - give me fecking strength it drives me insane.

is it possible to be tory and non judgey then? (looks confused)

Mists · 01/02/2011 20:56

PMSL at the list with "Peter Andre" then "Dog Shit" Grin

TootAndCommon · 01/02/2011 20:57

Union Carbide
Non-dom bloody politicians and tax dodgers
The Vatican's failure to be sincere in addressing past atrocities, from failing to condemn Hitler to tardy and inadequte response to paedophiles

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 01/02/2011 21:06

Anyone who interrupts me by saying "can I just stop you there?"

People not listening with an open mind

Negativity

Paying £15 pound for a tiny bog standard chicken.

People seeking praise for the banal and obvious.

This is all in the time frame of today, BTW. Will get onto poverty, oppression and world injustice after I've had a brew and cooked my tiny chicken if that's ok?

KenDoddsDadsDog · 01/02/2011 21:13

Forgot about supermarket creepers.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 01/02/2011 21:18

Randoms who ring the reception number at work and then proceed to give me their entire life story, making sure not to leave out any information when they could just say 'can I speak to Jill please'

SpeedyGonzalez · 01/02/2011 21:19

People who walk so close behind you that if you stop, say, to pick up something you've dropped, they practically crash into you and then whinge on web forums about people who stop in the street. Eejits.

People who try to squeeze past you because they're incapable of saying "excuse me". Eejits.

The Pope.

MrsWentworth, what's wrong with people feeding children in supermarkets?

Frizzbonce · 01/02/2011 21:19

People whose big barking dogs come hurtling towards you or you child, and the owner says: 'He's just being friendly!' Makes me want to take out a gun.

Lack of empathy

Anyone starting a sentence with: 'I'm not being racialist . . . '

Jan Moir of the Daily Mail. Vile poisonous woman who writes mean spirited attacks on basically anyone famous. 'Are you thinking what she's thinking?' No we're fucking not.

Amanda Platell. Even worse than Jan Moir!
I don't think there's a single woman that she actually likes.

Katie Hopkins. 'Tells it like it is' my arse. Ghastly attention seeking tory scum sucking married man nabbing cow.

Actually the thing about the above three I really loathe is they seem to hate women and we've got enough men around doing that job thank you.

SpeedyGonzalez · 01/02/2011 21:20

X-posts, Jareth!!! Quelle coincidence! Grin

JarethTheGoblinKing · 01/02/2011 21:20

and 40mph drivers. Doesn't matter where they are, if it's a road outside a school or slip road up to the M25 - there they are, plodding along at 40mph.

NobdieIAm · 01/02/2011 21:22

the expression " Oh my Days "

iwasyoungonce · 01/02/2011 21:23

Queue jumpers. Both people in shops etc., and people in cars.

Angry
JarethTheGoblinKing · 01/02/2011 21:24

I think you need a new name then Speedy Wink

I mean the people who are just marching along, and then literally stop dead and turn on their heels, and wonder why they walk into me.

singingsoprano · 01/02/2011 21:26

People who have long, intimate conversations on the bus. I am not interested!!
The Daily Mail.
Bigots.
People who talk while they are eating. Yuk!
The ConDems. That'll do for now.

Fantoosh · 01/02/2011 21:28

This old sod queue jumped me in the baker's todaY. He darted forward and gave his order before I could say anything...then while the woman was putting it together he glanced back at me to see my reaction, saw me glaring at him and flushed. I went up behind him and gently rested one of the buggy wheels on his foot knowing fine he would be too self-concious to move away. He was scarlet! Quite right too - chancing old scrote! Angry

I hate queue jumpers too.

Also:

Those rollaround fringes all the young thangs are sporting these days. Makes me want to punch them.

SpeedyGonzalez · 01/02/2011 21:28

Yup, that's me: march then stop! Definitely Speedy! Grin But why on earth do you walk so closely behind? In a crowded space I can understand it, but you do realise that were you in a car you'd be blamed as the careless driver behind? Grin
