just driven past 2 women power walking and one of them had an IPOD on. How rude would you have to be to invite your mate out power walking and then listen to music all the way round instead of talking to them!! Wierd!!
I once sat in the cinema behind 2 teenage girls who both had walkmans on all the way through the film - now that is just bizarre!!
sorry - just needed to share!

Its not anything that really gets in the way of my life, but the thing that bugs me is woman who are still standing at the school gate chatting at least half an hour after the kids have all gone in! I can't understand it, why don't you just go home with each other and drink coffee together!

My mum asked me to go on holiday with her to keep her company as she had no-one else to go with. It was ferry and coach to Italy and I get very travel sick. She spent most of the journey (all of the ferry crossing) with her ipod on, reading magazines and eating the snacks she'd packed herself..... (while I sat there like a wally feeling sick..)

Dancingtina - I don't think the 2 powerwalking women thing is either that rude or unusual. I know of women who go out running in pairs for safety but who listen to music because they find it helps motivate them. Afterwards they go to the pub to chat I agree the teenage girl thing is bizarre - obviously too much pocket money for their own good.
God I must be having a good day, I can't think of anything that is bugging me,(apart from 3 flies that keep buzzing around and landing on lo's toes).

Bucketsofdynomite i agree with you. I hate it when my dp puts all the dirty stuff in the washing up bowl unrinsed instead of leaving it on the side,so i then have to take it all out the bowl to fill it with water and rinse off the cups and plates etc. Its petty but annoying.

OOh Scatterbrain, I have just posted that on a thread for the first time ever!
I hate the "for sale" threads and especially the ones who link to they stuff they are selling on Ebay and yes I know I don't have to look but there could be something I do actually want to buy.

And then when they have washed up, they like to remind you all week by saying 'well i did wash up on Monday' and you wanna say 'well i [email protected]*king wash up everyday so stop going on about it, what do you want a medal!'

GGRRR!! I'm with you, Icing! My DS and DP both put their plates, cups, cutlery into the sink, only for me to remove them and stack them neatly with the other mountain of washing up that no doubt i'll be mug enough to do.
My biggest bug with DS is not bothering to wipe the side down after filling it with bread crumbs (after toasting) and spilling a pound of sugar over the side because he cant put his 5 teaspoons of sugar in the large hole that is a cup!
Oh and people at work who USE YOUR MUG without asking your permission!!! I HATE other people using my mug at work and some bloody snobby lawyer used it the other day right in front of me FOR HIS TEA!!!! I felt like staring at him and saying "Nice cup. Do you mind?" and demanding he give it back to me!
