What things irrationally wind the hell out of you?

[ElfOnTheTopShelf]

I HATE listening to the BBC news in the morning, when the news readers say "its is EXACTLY half past six" because I always end up shouting "IT IS NOT!!" because it surely can never be EXACTLY unless they string out the sixxxxxx until it is exactly that time.

I get annoyed when people talk about the coins and say that the Queen is on the FRONT of the coin, she is on the back. Because if you were looking at all the pictures of all the coins, you'd put the Queen down to see the pics, therefore she is the back of the coin. And its only "heads and tails" because its a picture of her head.

When I'm really stroppy, I get annoyed at the Kool Kids sign near my house. If they wanted to use alliteration, use Cool Children, surely?!

So... what gets your goat for no reason

This thread not making the round up

Men who wear their trousers too short. That little strip of sock really annoys me.

Teenagers who wear really tightpants...but they still manage to have a baggy bottom??? and they wear a belt... wtf???

Socks pulled up with shorts and sandals.

any socks and sandals combo is wrong on adults!

I'm with ScottishMummy on the Scotland thing. Every survey I see (including ones on here) will list every piddly little county in England, and then "Scotland". The north of Scotland couldn't be more different from the central belt, and yet they all get lumped together. Grrrr.

people trying to advertise crap parenting sites using multiple threads , hang on - maybe that's rational?

Butterfly, or even worse they will say "Houndslow" like we all know where that is and then say "Glasgow, Scotland".

Queuing at the airport, and some motherfucker stands there and doesn't fucking move.

Now, I know that in the great scheme of things, the not moving isn't gaining anyone a single, fecking, second ... but have they not heard of psychology????

Move it. Push your bags along, you bastards.

Ahhh!

Good!

People who are supposed to be serving in shops who totally ignore you while you are standing there waiting so you have to wait for them to finish their conversation before you can pay.

the silly sods who wait for the bus outside Enfield Chase station - which is in Middlesex for our Scottish MN's

They crowd the pavement instead of standing in the bus stop, which is fine, but then they watch me pushing my pushchair up the hill towards towards them and don't move... much safer for them to take a step back into the bus stop than for me to step into the busy road but they just stand there looking at me and get pissed off when I politely ask them to move.... freaks!

most considerate,i know all about enfield now.wegies do this too random free form queuing,blocking the pavement.then all herd forward

ooo yes kittydotcom - I hate that and I usually end up walking out of the shop!!!

DH putting the knives back on the magnet in the wrong order...

Having to organise and then survive THREE kids birthday parties in one month - yes, yes, our own poor "planning", however this is irrational thread, so it irrationally bugs me, so there!!

All the plastic merchandise tat given at said birthday parties

Own DS2, birthday boy today, not joining in during his own blood party, aaargh, why oh why do I bother!!

i hate kilties with a vengence! - not to be confused with men in kilts(phwoar), they're well sexy, but the dolls that are sold as tourist gifts!hate them and the "jimmy"hats with the fake ginger hair on them! i mean wtf???? its just down right offencive!

i also hate the word wiegies! scottishmummy .....are you east coaster?

No I'm from Glasgow.hey wegie is better than soap dodgers or other colloqualisms

Self service tills in supermarkets.

I should just not use them; instead I think, "oh, that will be quicker", and then get increasingly wound up as the damn things
fail to scan or flash up with that silly "bagging error" alert thing. Grrr.

lol @soap dodger

christenings in a catholic church
survived one yesterday - booooring and so, so long

People who look at me like a crazed freak when they find out I am returning to work full time in ten wks after having my second child. Do they think im doing it cos I want to?? I really want to be a SAHM but its actually impossible for us!!!
Its a sore subject to me at the moment!
