Mine is old people driving fast cars slowly. While wearing hats...

FFS, if you can't drive down a dual carriageway at 70 then:

A) You shouldn't be allowed a license.
B) If you are going to drive slowly then buy a slow car and save the money.
C) If you are that cold that you needs hat, turn the heating up.

Now, I know I am BU about this, but it bugs me. What bugs you?

People who allow their cats on their kitchen work tops.

I'm not a clean freak by any stretch of the imagination but considering they shit in litter trays/gardens and then jump up on the work tops for their afternoon snooze in a lot of homes...it just makes me want to sick up a bit.

Mumofaflump · 19/04/2011 13:56

worraliberty Ditto, same as people who share icecreams with their dogs. I mean, it's their choice but ewwwwwwwww.

Ramblers.

Not people who go for a walk but those wankers with kagools, little rucksacks, sensible walking boots and Ordnance Survey maps in clear plastic thingies hanging round their necks. Smug gits.

Irrational, I know, but I'd cheerfully bury them all alive in a silage pit.

doley · 19/04/2011 14:00

worra I know ...vile !

mrspear · 19/04/2011 14:04

Shatners agree with you there! A young girl on the bus today was wearing one of those quilt coats with leggings and white flip flops.

People who cut across your path and then shout at you for pushing the pushchair into there legs!

mrspear · 19/04/2011 14:05

Oh and ADULTS ridding bicycles on the pavement - use the bloody road!

And breathe.

Francagoestohollywood · 19/04/2011 14:10

Lol OP my dad has the same thing for people who drive wearing hats Grin

Cyclists who cycle on the pavement. I live in Milan, I understand that both cyclists and pedestrians like me are dead meat here, but still there is no need to cycle very fast on the pavements. It is also not legal to do so.

Mothers exchanging banalities at the school gate, especially those OTTing re their pfb.

weedle · 19/04/2011 14:12

People who cough and splutter all over the place. Put your hand in front of your mouth you absolute cretin!

People who make that phlegmy snort before they hawk up something sinister. I actually retched as I typed that sentence

Hammy02 · 19/04/2011 14:16

People that don't say thank you when I hold a door open for them. You ignorant tw*t. Equally, if I give you right of way when driving, a little wave wouldn't go amiss.

CinnabarRed · 19/04/2011 14:17

People who leave tea bags on the edge of the sink, rather than throwing them in the bin DP, I mean you...

weedle · 19/04/2011 14:18

Hammy You remind me of DH - he's worse though, he gets outraged if after he does the 'thankyou wave' they don't do the 'you're welcome wave' back!

worraliberty · 19/04/2011 14:20

People share ice creams with their dogs??? Shock

I won't even share mine with the children Blush

hogsback · 19/04/2011 14:23

People who drop litter. People who leave litter on trains rather than using the bins. People who carefully fold up their litter, and ram it down between the seats on trains.

KILL THEM ALL.

Oh, and men who walk around in the street with no top on as soon as the temperature creeps over 15C. Do you realise what utterly crass, classless, ill-bred oafs you look like?

Hammy02 · 19/04/2011 14:29

Oh yes hogsback, people that drop litter should be shot. I just don't understand who the hell these people think they are that other people should clear up after them. There is never an excuse.

grovel · 19/04/2011 14:29

hogsback Please don't kill people who leave newspapers on the train. I am often grateful to them.
You can slaughter the other fuckers however you like.

BurningBright · 19/04/2011 14:30

Bad grammar. Drives. Me. Nuts.
People who are so important, they don't need to use indicator lights.
And raw tomatoes are just wrong. Vile, evil things. With the icky, peely skin and the revolting texture and the guts that spill out all over the place and the smell. [Shudder]

limitedperiodonly · 19/04/2011 14:35

None of these things is unreasonable.

I'd add people who leave washing up to soak in the sink until the water goes cold and greasy.

People who badger me to get out of the house because it's sunny outside when I want to watch the telly.

People who insist on taking tables outside a cafe because it's sunny even if the pavement is dirty, crowded and noisy and you have to squint to talk to them.

People who leave litter on public transport but particularly half-finished cans of drink nestled in the corner of seats.

Also people who impale takeaway boxes on the railings outside my house.

hogsback · 19/04/2011 14:36

grovel but if I've already messily dismembered them, then you can read their paper afterwards. Just as long as you make sure you put it in the bin afterwards...

Although come to think of it, I might need the paper for mopping up.

All of you, for implying that it is unreasonable to be annoyed about any of the above!! I have read this thread nodding like the Churchill dog.

limitedperiodonly · 19/04/2011 14:40

Hammy I'm afraid I'm with Hogshead on free newspapers.

Papers that have been pre-read offend me. If this was 100 years ago I'd be insisting on my staff fetching me an ironed copy of the Daily Telegraph on a silver tray but that's a bit impractical in the rush hour.

As it is, if I need to pass the time on the tube, I bring a book or stare at my fellow passengers.

Hammy02 · 19/04/2011 14:43

People that say 'hees' instead of 'his'. It may be a regional thing but it bugs me. Also, people that say 'waiting on', instead of 'waiting for'.

BringBackGoingForGold · 19/04/2011 14:44

Well, I get narked at:

  • people stopping dead in the street in front of me
  • people crowding in the entranceways at the tube instead of moving down the platform
  • people crowding in the doorways on the tube instead of moving down
  • people who can't use apostrophes
  • people who talk and or/keep looking at their sodding brightly lit-up phone at the theatre/cinema/etc (do not get me started on people who HAVE CONVERSATIONS on their sodding phone in these situations)
  • people who finish the loo roll and don't replace it, or, in public loos, tell you there's none left before you go in

But none of these things are unreasonable, surely??!?

EasterEggsHaveNoCalories · 19/04/2011 14:44

People who stop as soon as they have got off the escalator - helloooo there are people behind you!
