Any kind of unfairness, from being shortchanged at the shop, to the world's unfair distribution of wealth.

Rude people, especially people who are supposed to be service-minded, e.g. bus drivers, shop keepers, waitresses etc.

Men going on and on in the comment section of internet newspapers about how oppressed they are - no matter what the article is really about. Example: Article title 'So-and-so many thousand women are raped in wars every year'. Comment: 'Why does the feminist media always focus on women as victims, women can rape people, too, you know.'

People going on and on in the comment section of internet newspapers about how everything is the socialists' fault. Also no matter what the article is really about.

Cruelty to animals/children/people who can't fight back.

Mess/dirt that isn't mine.

People who say 'it's just a dog'.

And many, many more. I'm evidently the negative person making your blood boilGrin

Celebrities who have to have a huge glitzy bash to raise money for charity with gourmet food first class entertainment etc can't they just write a cheque ? Actors who talk about their craft and think they are god simply because they can act then complain about how hard it is . X factor , basically four extremely rich attractive people bullying and humiliating people who are maybe not as blessed in the looks/talent department just to make themselves even richer . Hair extensions the idea of wearing someone else hair makes me feel a bit quesy especially since doing some research and finding out that women and children in poor countries have their heads forcibly shaved because it can make a tiny bit of money just so people like cheryl cole can have super long hair to advertise shampoo with making a fortune. Noisy eating and spitting . People who ask me if I'm going to have another baby when ds is only six months old and recoil in horror when I say I just want one then sy you'll change your mind .

Jareth that link is funny

annoyingdevil · 02/02/2011 11:18

People that say "end of"

People that lack empathy, I realise they probably can't help it, but why do they end up running the country

duchesse · 02/02/2011 11:21

A sense of entitlement: one of the most bovine emotions ever, stops people from considering anybody else's point of view, makes people behave like twats. Some people have rather too much of it imo.

Quenelle · 02/02/2011 11:25

People who drive with their fog lights on all the time.
Injustice.
Coathangers that intertwine themselves.

It's a fairly wide-ranging list.

meantosay · 02/02/2011 11:26

Noisy neighbours
People who use the bus lane and then cut in at the top of the queue
People who think they own the lane they're driving in and won't let anyone else in
People who go on and on and on about their job as if they're inventing a cure for cancer or something

Human beings.

simonedeboudoir · 02/02/2011 11:33

Hypocrisy
Smugness
People who don't use apostrophes correctly
People who walk too slowly
People who say "should of" instead of "should have" etc
Badly behaved children
People who drive 4x4s and go on about worried they are about global warming

Judgemental people (but not judgey people. judgey people are fine Wink)

clevercloggs · 02/02/2011 11:33

those who have never worked a day in their lives and never intend to, yet are "entitled"

idiots who dont know where the lights switch is in their cars and poddle along in fog almost invisible

TimeToStartACHEEKYDiet · 02/02/2011 11:37

drivers driving at 15mph on a 40/50/60mph road

ignorant driver who dont know how to use indicators

people who dont say thank you

people who are just generally ignorant.

Dogshit

meantosay · 02/02/2011 11:42

People who let their kids run around restaurants shouting and screaming and then wonder why 'we dont welcome children in restaurants in this country.'

People who show you 140 photographs of their holiday in Spain

People who open windows without asking if anyone minds (or ex colleague who put big sulky face on if anyone dared ask him politely to close it after several hours of turning blue.)

shergar · 02/02/2011 11:44

Constant automated messages on trains - like we wouldn't think to take all of our personal belongings with us when leaving the train unless reminded to do so by a very posh woman every thirty seconds.

(On a train right now & it's driving me batshit!)
