For people who....

Chew with their mouths open
Bite spoons or forks
Don't turn off the keypress noises on their mobiles. "beep beep beep beep beep" when texting

Unreasonable? I call those basic manners.

What about you? Who would you send to the firey depths of hell?

lighthearted post

Hehe I had this in Devon this year Chips - narrow lane etiquette should be part of the driving test, even if you live in Milton Keynes!!

HannahHut · 01/11/2016 19:24

To be fair I have the keypad noises on because I'm HoH and without it I sometimes don't realise I've pressed a button which can lead to accidentally calling someone.

faffalotty · 01/11/2016 19:26

People who make any noise whatsoever whilst drinking. Slurping, gulping, smacking lips and 'ahh'ing'. Just stop it.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 01/11/2016 19:26

I'm from Cornwall so completely agree with the driving comments! Also poo bags hung on trees. You bothered to pick it up so why sling it in a tree?! Aaaaarrrggh.

Oh, and on that note, people who can clearly tell my DS is shit-scared of dogs, but insist that their lovable canine companion will be the one to 'cure' him, by bringing it closer and closer..... HE DOESN'T LIKE DOGS (look, I'm shouting now...)

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 01/11/2016 19:28

hannahhut perfectly reasonable point. Noted for future.

People who speak with an upward inflection??
People who cannot stop saying so throughout a conversation!!! This really pisses me off.
Drivers that use my driveway as a means to turn round.

Many more but the above more than anything

stubbornstains · 01/11/2016 19:28

chipsandgin
People who go to Cornwall but have never learnt how reverse works, or how wide their car is, or how to fucking drive and sit there in the centre of the road like they have had a frontal lobotomy staring at you when they are 2 metres past a passing place on a lane and the nearest one to you is 100 metres back --then you reverse 100 metres and they sail past AND DON'T THANK YOU.

Oh yes. But also, people who purchase tractors that are ACTUALLY BIGGER THAN THE LANES THEY DRIVE DOWN, and then tow bits of equipment that are EVEN BIGGER, and then can't get down the main street of the village, and have to knock on everybody's door and ask for people to move their cars.....and haven't even got the courtesy to be polite about it Angry.

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 01/11/2016 19:30

Another Cornish resident here!

Just annoyed by all tourists in general during the summer season. Particularly the ones who buy hoodies with "LIFEGUARD" written prominently on the back... um, why? You look a right twat.

Fitzsimmons · 01/11/2016 19:31

People who block supermarket aisles with their trolleys whilst they have a natter.

Tourists who visit the Lake District and go fell walking with flip flops and no idea how to read a map who then end up needing mountain rescue.

Tourists in the Lake District who don't know how to drive into the hedge to pass on narrow lanes.

Tourists in the Lake District who leave litter everywhere after a picnic.

Basically tourists in the Lake District. I know they bring in loads of money but they do my head in.

HannahHut · 01/11/2016 19:31

Vivenne Thanks for understanding :) Oh and people who say generally when they mean genuinely. THEY'RE NOT THE SAME! :@

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 01/11/2016 19:32

People who decide that they're going to sit in the first set of seats they see at the top of the stairs on the bus. And then take ages faffing around deciding who's going to sit in which seat and taking off hats and coats and sorting out coats. Just sit the fuck down and let everyone else get up the stairs first.

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 01/11/2016 19:32

People who say "weary" when they mean "wary"... I've heard this one loads recently!

tellyjots · 01/11/2016 19:32

People who roam about the office shouting into their mobile phones. Twunts.

Imsickofnamechanging · 01/11/2016 19:33

Colleagues usually men, who re arrange their underwear whilst standing up having a conversation, usually involving tugging at pants, Y fronts stuck in the bum. Then shake your hand afterwards.

So many.

People who whilst speaking always manage to get a mouth full of saliva.
People who although shower daily but don't bother to change their clothes. You Clothes smell you idiot!

HannahHut · 01/11/2016 19:33

*Vivienne oops

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 01/11/2016 19:33

typically. Yes! Not only do they look like twats, but it isn't exactly useful to have fifty bloody 'lifeguards' roaming the beaches in the height of summer! I feel a letter of complaint coming on...

Willow33 · 01/11/2016 19:33

People who do not thank you when you give them way.

Willow33 · 01/11/2016 19:34

I mean when you are driving and you give them way, and they don't acknowledge or thank you

bluebeck · 01/11/2016 19:36

Pavement cyclists.

Goldengirl42 · 01/11/2016 19:36

People on trains who listen to music through their earphones far too loudly, so the rest of the carriage is subjected to 2 hours of drum beats. Yes, man with brown shirt 1 row in front of me. I mean YOU!!!

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 01/11/2016 19:37

People who drip around supermarkets like they wish to spend their whole existence there, complete with drippy partner and multiple poorly-behaved children. Get out of the way, it is NOT a day trip, you are wasting minutes of my life that I personally don't want to spend at Asda.

Snowflakes1122 · 01/11/2016 19:37

Queue jumpers here too. Angry

yougetme · 01/11/2016 19:38

I take calls from the public so here goes..

People who ;
hold the phone to their ear so that it beeps and cuts off the speech
have another conversation while supposedly listening to the information they've called for
screech at their partner/kids /dog without shielding the microphone
rattle off their customer reference with no consideration that it needs to be written down
rant and rave and then say " its not you Im shouting at" - no clue who else is on the other end of the phone then.
ask for information and then when its given say " I'll just get a pen to write that down" - or worse ,use the phone keypad to enter number. tht piercing beep can be painful. (and as a side issue why on earth is that a even a feature on phones?)

galaxygirl45 · 01/11/2016 19:39

My biggest bugbear is when you give way or wait to let another driver out etc and they complete ignore you when they drive past. I actually beep my horn now and shout THANK YOU much to my DDs horror!!! Ignorant asshats. And the growing number of women who use the village school in a chelsea tractor they can't fecking reverse or turn round a corner. Do they not have steering wheels or something?? And people who take their wheelie bins in at 11pm or 6am - are they all deaf???!!!

EccentricPickle · 01/11/2016 19:46

People who smoke at bus stops.

Smoke yourself to death for all I care but don't smoke at a bus stop, arsehole! I can't move away from your cloud of smoke, that is making me gag, as I NEED to stand here to wait for the bus. Selfish fuckers.
