I am sure this has probably been asked before, but I am a new girl here and felt like being nosy!

My pet hates are to name a few -

rudeness
using mobile while driving
litterbugs

I'm sure there are more but cant think at the mo!

I can't abide lateness or unreliable people (and I seem to be on the receiving end of a lot of it at the moment!!)

People who spit

The most distgusting and unattractive thing IMO but others find it totally acceptable and normal.

Pinotmum · 29/10/2005 16:27

People who text while driving above the speed limit towards me!!! People who think they own the road, car parks etc and tell me how and where I can drive/park when I've not asked for their opinions (usually men but I'm not generalising). People who wlak through the door I'm holding for them without a glance and are speedily followed by another 20 people and then when you eventually let the door go someone gives you a withering 'you've just broken my collar bone' look

buffytheharpsichordcarrier · 29/10/2005 16:27

yes lockets your grandad may be an exception
perhaps you could get him a pager?

People who drive right up your backside when you have a flouresant yellow "baby/child on board" sticker on your window.

buffytheharpsichordcarrier · 29/10/2005 16:28

Pinotmum, what you have to say to the walky through the door rude people is:

"Oh don't mention it! Oh, I see, you DIDN'T!"

this will make you feel MUCH better I promise.

Pinotmum · 29/10/2005 16:29

LOL

Posers. I had an ex who was a poser, and gawd, he got under my skin! Such a wannabe.

Parents who dont reply to childrens party invites or if they do just say they are coming, dont turn up on the day, dont phone, dont apologies or explain or anything. Happened to me with a parent from ds's school. Mother didnt reply, so I asked her in the playground, she said definately yes, didnt turn up and then has never said a word to me since. Rude and makes my blood boil

HuggyBear · 29/10/2005 17:17

People who have no backbone - if youve got something to say then say it grrrrrrrr

people who are vain

people who moan about the size of there boobs/thighs/bums only to get you to say they look fine

people whine but wont pull there selves together and do something about it

doormat · 29/10/2005 17:18

harrogatemum · 29/10/2005 18:15

people who ask for advice and then COMPLETELY IGNORE IT!! and go on making the same mistakes over and over again.

spidermama · 29/10/2005 18:22

People who text in the theatre or in the cinema.

Lateness.

People who fail to teach their kids about the needs of others.

People who're apparently unaware of the needs of others (eg in the supermarket.)

People who drop litter.

Oooh. I think I'd better stop now otherwise I could be here all evening.
