when people park next to you in a car park, leaving roughly 3 mm between their car door and yours, especially when theres clearly a car seat on the same side!

LUCYJU - just wondering how many children you have. when you say "people who let children stand in a supermarket trolley" whats your solution? i have 2 small children and the supermarkets round here only have one seat

do you suggest i let dd1 run about the supermarket, she could get lost v easily

LucyJu · 17/10/2006 12:19

Nailpolish... it is supposed to be about irrational things .
BTW, have 2 children - one sits in trolley, the other walks (but then , she is 6).

GRUMPYGHOUL · 17/10/2006 12:19

People who wear low jeans that show their thongs (bleurgh)

People who pierce their childrens ears

People who dress their girls in Lolita clothing - tiny skirts and cropped tops.

People who just watch when their children are being naughty and dont tell them off (are the last two irrational?)

Bozza · 17/10/2006 12:22

Agree LucyJo - rather a lot of people have been posting things that are perfectly rational IMO.

I have been tempted to put "people who can't differentiate between what is rational and what is irrational".

nailpolish · 17/10/2006 12:27

LUCYJO
