Does no one think anymore?

[Wanttofly]

I am having a bad day.

Im fed up of the following:

1. People leaving the pub at night shouting and waking up my baby. The pub is near house is it too much to ask that people think that they should not shout as there may be children asleep in the houses?

2. those stupid recorded phone calls offering debt advice? They call in the afternoon and wake my baby and there isn't a real person on the other end I can shout at for waking my baby up.

3. people who shout at their dogs to be quiet when it barks. Not only is the dog waking up the baby, but so is the person shouting. If they want quiet why are they shouting?

4. people who drive at 40mph in a 60 zone but upon entering a 30mph area they continue to drive at 40mph. Why is speeding in a built up area with more potential hazards ok when it clearly isn't safe to go fast on a more open road?

5. people who park on the pavement blocking it so you have to go on the road with your pushchair to get past.

6. people who point to their wrist when asking the time as if I wouldn't know where my watch is.

OK rant over.

Anyone want to add anything else?

People who don't pick up their dogs' poo.

Spitting.

Cyclists who swap between being a vehicle and a pesdestrian randomly with no signals.

Drivers who HAVE to overtake me because my car is flowery.

Smokers who hold their cigarette at pushchair level.

Automated cold calling every 15mins when the baby has just gone to sleep.

People who drop litter.

and everything that has already been mentioned!

People who have flowery cars and expect to be taken seriously

I have that sort of car (butterflies instead of flowers) but I dont expect anyone to take me seriously

I thought my DH was the only one to bypass the dishwasher and put the plates on the worktop instead!

I literally laughed out loud at what Morloth said re: wanting an AK47 and a rooftop!

Working in retail, I detest people who decide to come into the shop 2 minutes before closing wanting to do a long-winded/complicated transaction.

I hate when people seemingly refuse to use deodorant in this warm weather on public transport.

I hate when local schoolkids throw away their mostly unfinished junk food on the floor/near my front garden just yards away from a bin.

I know there's far more than immediately comes to mind at the mo. Love this thread!

JDidn't mean to kill the thread * sigh*

it mite seem the wrong way round but i really hate cars that dont let you cross the road when its raining! im standing getting wet and you're in a nice warm dry car...let me cross!

Cashiers in the supermarket who put all your shopping thru at breakneck speed, make no attempt to help you pack any of it and then bark out the total while you're vainly trying to open a carrier bag.

My fave supermarket cashier was one who was so rude he didn't so much as grunt thru the whole transaction and stopped the conveyor for several minutes (I do not exaggerate) while he read a newspaper that I was buying.

People who park on the pavements outside the school.

People who live at the end of the school street but still take thier cars to one gate, drop off one kid, drive 30 yards to the second gate drop of second kids and then turn around in the middle of the road and then drive home.

My neighbours friends who park thier car directly behind the neighbours who's car is in the driveway, resulting in the entire pavement blocked so I have to walk on the road around the transit van owned by said neighbours. This annoys everyone on the street. There is a bus shelter directly opposite so it is doubly dangerous.

People/kids who throw rubbish into my garden.

People who deliver crap through my letter box then JUMP up the small wall, walk across the lawn and step into my flowerbed to get to the pavement. THERE IS A SODDING PATH!!! USE IT!!

I agree with pretty much all of these, but will add one more...

people who try to push their way into the lift when the doors open while you're trying to get OUT of it!! this happens all the time.. I actually stopped the people doing this last week as they wouldn't move to let us out and told them (ok, in a rather condescending voice I will admit)"you DO realise that if you actually backed the fuck up, we could get out... ? it's not rocket science!!"

Poor DH. Don't think he'll ever go there with me again...

being called "love"

people who sit in the pushchair designated areas in buses and pretend you and your sprog are invisible, which means reversing over their feet a few times and then parking the buggy in their lap before they move

neighbours turning their tv up after 10pm

tripping over shoes by the door as dh and dc find it impossible to locate the shoerack next to it

dh insisting on torturing us with his crappy 1980's taste in music whenever we drive somewhere

when there is one person on a till, 20 customers waiting and 5 employees standing in the back having a chat about their weekend

Being called "love".

Coldcallers of any sort- for the same reason as the OP- they wake the baby, or me, or disturb me, or interrupt whatever I was doing.

Couriers who cannot be bothered to find the house and pretend they have been (particularly infuriating when they say "I left a card". No you did NOT. If you had bothered to check where we live you would have seen there is a locked gate and about 100 mt between it and my door).

People who talk loudly, especially at 11.33pm on a Friday night, when I would like to sleep (note time of post).

Random call centre people who want to address me by my first name. We did not go to nursery together...

People who swear, especially when swearing used as punctuation, and not in response to annoying stimulus. Particularly swearing in writing. Why?

Und so weiter, und so weiter, und so weiter...

People who live in the same road as a school and then whinge about the traffic.

this thread is ace!

have gotten the litter thing into perspective after visiting india...

but the people who collect their dog's poop in a little bag, then considerately leave it behind on the street, on a wall, in a tree/bush?????????????
AT LEAST IN THE OPEN THE RAIN CAN WASH IT AWAY!

"but the people who collect their dog's poop in a little bag, then considerately leave it behind on the street, on a wall, in a tree/bush?????????????"

Often do this when on a straight out and back walk (rather than a circular route). Picture this - dog takes a crap 5 minutes into the walk, you know you will be coming back that way in about an hours time on your way back, sensible thing is to bag the poo and leave it somewhere where it won't be squished and retrieve it on your way back...rather than pointlessly carry it with you, reeking gently, for the best part of an hour

People who don't GET box junctions and then beep at me when I won't go into it and make them late for their oh so fucking important place to be. Every fucking time I get to one. Fuckers.
