To ask what really fucks you off?

I know I know I was asking for it- going out in the car on a Sunday; 'Sunday drivers'... As I was sat/stuck behind yet another slow, overly cautious (shit - IMO) driver it infuriated me that she left a car sized gap between her and the car in front of her. These selfish twats idly trundle by just as the lights change leaving whoever was stuck behind them (and their massive unnecessary gap...) stuck at the lights. I curse them. What and/or who really gets you mad?

People who call themselves their pet animal's mummy or daddy
People who say looking after their cat or dog is the same as taking care of a child
People who feed their pets human food, and then attempt to feed my dog with their own fucking food
And then they get annoyed when she won't take it.

Open chiller cabinets in supermarkets that make the place so freezing staff have to wear quilted jackets in summer. Good job my blood is boiling. What kind of logical or economic sense does it make??? !!!Confused

Easily flummoxed cafe workers with a computer says no attitude.
The other day I asked cafe worker for a hot chocolate with a double espresso poured in (made it clear I was happy to pay for two drinks) She was utterly bamboozled by this request and spent ages telling me why she could not do this. So I asked for the two drinks separately and just before she put them on the tray she asked if I wanted her to add the espresso to the hot chocolate!! Confused

People who drive right up my arse, gives me the rage.

If you want to kill yourself fine but don't involve me.

RaskolnikovsGarret · 09/08/2017 04:36

People who walk through a door you have held open for them, without then holding the door for the next person passing through. I am not your door man/woman.

user1497863568 · 09/08/2017 04:46

People who accuse whole groups of people they happen not to like of being terrorists ... just because they want to.

ArDali1 · 09/08/2017 04:51

DogCatMouseCheese yeah no I'm talking about the ones who do it on perfectly dry conditions , not on country lanes, and on very wide roads with plenty of space, in London, there are bike lanes with their own traffic lights.
I am a considerate and patient driver, and never overtake bikes if there is no space. But some people on bikes that I've seen use their mobiles! So that pi**es me off

Mittens1969 · 09/08/2017 08:46

Also, people who allow their dog to shit on the pavement and then don't remove it. I'm constantly having to watch where my DDs are putting their feet on the way to school. Angry

zoflora nope. Although I have found that people who accuse others of tailgating are usually the slow as shit drivers hesitating under the speed limit who piss most people off. I think they call that projection.

wink if I'm walking my dogs and see another dog owner leaving their dog's poo behind I offer them one of my dog poo bags 'in case' they have run out. They always have one on them and then proceed to do what they should have done... Twats

I agree that there are annoying and dangerous tailgaiter but if you drive on an A road and when you look into the rearview mirror there is a queue as far back as you can see with cars pulling over into the other lane to see what is going on at the front then you really are driving too slowly and should pull into a layby and let other cars go past.

@IDoDaChaCha, I know a lot of responsible dog owners and they're always the ones who get most annoyed by such behaviour. I really don't get at all why there are some who don't, it's just so lazy. There's almost always a dedicated poo bin not far away.

Mittens it's just gross leaving piles of poo everywhere. I even object to horse riders doing it. No, I don't care if people think it's ok because horses eat hay- they still poo shit...

OP posts:
Mittens1969 · 09/08/2017 15:08

IDoDaChaCha, yes re horse shit! I have to watch out for that on the school run as well. Pavements are supposed to be for pedestrians to walk on, and I am absolutely sick of having to warn my DDs not to step in shit!

Mittens we're a dirty country by first world standards. Littering, leaving shit everywhere etc. I'm especially seething when I see broken glass from alcohol bottles in the street presumably dropped and left by some thoughtless pisshead... Grrr...

People who drive across a roundabout, then stop before exiting, reverse across the roundabout and then turn left into a one way road and stick two fingers up at me when I beeped my horn at them as they drove into the one way road! Angry

user53592952153 it's such a shame the Tories have hacked away at police funding so much that we hardly see the fuckers any more. I'd love to see someone get pulled for shit like that.

Yeah, especially it was just down the road from the local closed police station.

People who pretend to be your friend when they have ulterior motives. Two categories: 1). Women who secretly hate you and take pleasure in anything bad that befalls you 2). Men who just want to shag you. Can't people just be honest?! I wouldn't bother being friends with someone I didn't like and if I wanted to have sex with someone I'd just proposition them not pretend to be their friend for however many years it takes for them to have a weak moment and look at you the wrong way for 1/3rd of a second...

user53592952153 add 'closed down police stations* to the list... We are one step from The Purge. In fact, govt should just declare it so I can get on with ridding the world of my downstairs neighbours... Grin

People who leave broken glass in children's playgrounds, and unfortunately also needles left by drug users; we don't generally take our DDs to the playground nearest to our house because of the risk of them falling in the wrong place.

KatharinaRosalie · 09/08/2017 16:18

Quacks. All kinds of alternative therapy peddlers who claim that doctors are in it for the money and never to trust big pharma, while at the same time trying to sell you their energized chrystals and unicorn tears for 96 quid.
