people who step on the back of your shoe and dont apologise.
and people who dont use caps correctly

People who think my dog stinks

School drop-off parents. Your child doesn't need you to loiter and wave for three hours through the classroom window. Go home. Go to work. Go anywhere but please stop waving through teh window. You only said goodbye 30 seconds ago and will see them in a few hours.

GentleOtter · 28/06/2008 16:38

People who cough in your face without covering their mouths.

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 16:39

People who don't accept that their dog stinks of dog. It's a DOG. ALL dogs stink. Accept it.

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 16:41

Snotty kids. I realise all kids get snotty noses, but please wipe your child's greenies off his/her face, especially when playing with 'communal' toys that other kids will be touching.

lol at this post.

Gotta agree with the pet love thing. I hate it when people treat their dogs like babies.

Countingthegreyhairs · 28/06/2008 16:54

people who walk slowly

websites with thumbnail sketches saying 'click to enlarge' and when you do the picture is exactly the same size

children dressed in purple (I know I'm sorry )

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 16:56

Boys with long hair. Boys with shaved hair. Somewhere in the middle is just right. IMO

Twinkie1 · 28/06/2008 16:58

People who pour the water on teabags as soon as it has boiled singeing (sp?) the tea and ruining its flavour and people who add milk before removing teabag therefore leaving horrid scum on top of tea once milk is added!

My body for not being at least a stone lighter and impossibly toned and tanned - am going out tonight and fell a bit crappy!

People with dirty houses - just clean them!

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 17:00

people who chat incessantly on their mobile. Do you really NEED to be having that conversation while packing your groceries in Sainsbury's one handed?

People who pack their groceries, then have to dig around for ten minutes looking for a purse or wallet. They knew they were going to have to pay. WHY HAVEN'T THEY GOT IT READY?

OracleInaCoracle · 28/06/2008 17:00

people who put the milk in before the water.

boys who wear their jean halfway down their bum.

girls who wear too tight, too low jeans with thongs!

in fact hate that lilac colour everyone painted their bathrooms in a couple of years back too

people who use the word 'picky' instead of 'difficult to please'

posh chocolate that's meant to taste ten times better than Cadbury's fruit & nut but doesn't

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 17:01

women who wear bras that obviously don't fit. It can't be comfortable and the four boob look is truly not flattering.

women who don't wear a bar fullstop.

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 17:03

people who have their televisions or music on really loud.

stillovefoxes · 28/06/2008 17:04

Middle class teenagers who try to talk like 'Gangsta's'

Love2bake · 28/06/2008 17:05

I LOVE loud music!!!

lucyellensmum · 28/06/2008 17:06

people who eat loudly revolt me

Love2bake · 28/06/2008 17:07

people with hic-ups.

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 17:07

People who don't wear an anti-perspirant.

meep · 28/06/2008 17:08

am with you on that one lucyellensmum - that sort of smack squelch smack sound they make - ugh ugh ugh!

goingslowlymad · 28/06/2008 17:09

websites that take forever to load when I am in a hurry.

Mum2BabyRoo · 28/06/2008 17:11

People who don't indicate when driving
Sneezing
Sniffing
People who talk with their mouth fill
People who say they will call and then don't

lucyellensmum · 28/06/2008 17:14

men (boys) who strut around (with or without staffordshire bull terrier) without tops on - i don't want to see your puny body thankyou very much - uuugggghhh

lucyellensmum · 28/06/2008 17:15

the sound dogs make when licking their balls (espicially when DP and i are trying to get romantic )

filthymindedbolshevixen · 28/06/2008 17:16

the fact that dh will not put things out for recycling (we have kerbside collection).
And the odd time he does remember to not chuck out a bottle, he will never wash it out!
