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

Oh this is cleansing.
Mine are:
drivers who don't acknowledge you've let them out ;after needing numerous flashes before they notice you!)
Ride children with more rude parents who chastise them with "stop that you'll hurt yourself" rather than stop being an annoying little git and behave yourself, you're annoying everyone!
Closer to home - DH insisting on a certain programme being watched real time then taking a 20 minute call through the 30 minute episode rendering it impossible to watch (because I got interested in it during the first 10 minutes!)
I could go on for ever.
And breathe .......

TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt · 02/11/2016 18:43

HGV drivers who try to overtake on uphill stretches of dual carriageway...only to find that they can't go any faster than the crawler they're trying to pass, and clog up the whole road.

And people who don't indicate on roundabouts. Ignorant t**ts.

riceuten · 02/11/2016 18:47

People who press the bell on the bus more than once when the light up sign clearly says STOPPING

Is that a thing - everyone where I live rings the bell twice, and doesn't look to see if it's already rung?

Also, people going 1 or 2 stops will insist on sitting at the back of the bus and then walking slowly to the front, only after the bus has come to a complete stop.

Tapandgo · 02/11/2016 18:48

People who talk while their mouth is full of food
People who flick their hair constantly - get a (hair) grip
People who sniff constantly ( gross)
People who talk so loud you are forced to listen to their conversation
People who shut their eyes while talking (usually in affected accents)
People who think their kids or their dogs are automatically lovable to everyone else
Smokers who block entrances to pubs/shops
People who let kids run around in cafe's so you have to navigate around them with your tray
People who let dogs out to the street to ' do their business' while they stay inside
..,,,,,so many..... so little time

The80sweregreat · 02/11/2016 18:50

Public transport in general. Grumpy bus drivers when i am being nice!

People in aisles who have a lovely natter but nobody can get past them.

The contraption that hold up slippers and shoes in shops on the rails, can i put them back in again? Can i fuck ..( big sorry to all retail staff as i neatly place the shoes on the floor..and run off! ) must be another way..

Bastard snoring partners!

Emmageddon · 02/11/2016 19:01

People who have acrylic nails with glittery tips. They just annoy me for some crazy reason. Have them red, pink, blue, black, green, like union jacks if you want, just not the glittery tips.

People who wear fake eyelashes that are so big and heavy they have difficulty opening their eyes fully, oh and those magic marker HD eyebrows, especially on very fair people.

Being asked 'who did your spray tan?' when I am Italian and olive-skinned by nature.

WildRoses · 02/11/2016 19:01

Oh my God! Don't even get me started on this. Any form of bad manners winds me up but in particular eating with mouths open. Dss knows it makes me want to punch something so does it as loud and as obnoxious as he possibly can. Dh eats with his mouth open so I'm trying to train my 3 dc to be polite with table manners whilst my 3 dsc eat and behave like pigs. It's a constant battle.

The80sweregreat · 02/11/2016 19:03

Flynn, can sympathise. Sending mine to the doctor its so bad!

Onlygingergothinthevillage · 02/11/2016 19:03

People (& it's usually men) who don't blow their noses in a hanky instead choosing to expel snot out of their noses into the pavement.
People who sneeze/cough into their hands in a shop but carry on picking things up as though they didn't have germs all over their hands.

Mine all seem to be germ related, it's that time of year I'm afraid!

Alleycat1 · 02/11/2016 19:11

Other people...

Threepumpkins · 02/11/2016 19:17

Saying 'pacific' when you mean 'specific'

Not acknowledging - not even a nod - when I pull over for you to pass on narrow roads

Family groups walking ten abreast with three buggies in the pedestrian areas of town

Confusednotcom · 02/11/2016 19:17

People who stand glaze eyed and vacant as their supermarket shopping is put through the till then when it's time to pay look in their handbag REALLLY SLOWWWLY to find their purse and then take AGES to find their card/cash in it when they could have got it ready WHILE YOU WERE WAITING YOU PLONKERS!!! And breathe.....

HTD2013 · 02/11/2016 19:41

People (usually tourists/non Londoners) who walk along busy London streets and then stop dead in the middle of the pavement right in front of you with no warning and no indication of if they are going to move off again. Fuckers

People who spit in the street.

People who say 'that's so gay!' and genuinely don't see what's wrong with that sentence.

CheeseBadgers · 02/11/2016 19:53

People who smack their teeth together - or worse squeak them together - when they eat.

Do fuck off Yvonne.

nicolachristine · 02/11/2016 19:56

People who do not use proper names for people or objects: "Mum" rather than mother (excluding the actual child of the mother in question).... I know, you can now heap your scorn on me

Clarabellb · 02/11/2016 19:58

Use the back of MY seat to get their fat arse out of their seat on a flight!

winterinmadeira · 02/11/2016 19:59

People who don't say thank you when you hold open a door for them or put their hand up as acknowledgement when you let them out of a junction etc when in the car.

Constant Sniffers, snorters or coughers of any kind. This time of the year is the worst for it. Get a flaming hanky!

And breathe...I do feel better for that it has to be said.

coffeeandbubbles · 02/11/2016 20:07

People who don't indicate on roundabouts. Usually BMW or Audi wank*ers.

People who don't say thank you when you hold a door open for you.

People who don't seeem to understand personal space.

CeciledeVolanges · 02/11/2016 20:40

And people who pee in the street in London, then it trickles down to the road and is obvious and disgusting.

bikerlou · 02/11/2016 20:43

People who put dead matches back in the box :-) Ahem.
