Ch (charity) + ugger (from mugger) ie

hyacinths
people who phone you just before dinner to ask if you'd like a re mortgage and try to tell you that you originally contacted them!

Timeshare reps in local shopping area - always tell them I live in rented, not married, don't live with anyone then they're not interested.

People trying to flog me heather for £3 a bunch and forcing it in my face when I don't want it.

Ditto remortgage people ringing up just before/during dinner. When asked "Can I speak to Mr or Mrs Goddess?" dh or I answer "Sorry they're not here"

Banks who can't give me a balance because I haven't guessed the right pin number (but answered all other security questions) but will then give my secret password to the pta account to my friend the treasurer(who hadn't provided any id)!

People who can't do something 'cos it's not in their job. Ie. cable engineer who came last week to install broadband and wouldn't fix the telephone box back on the wall.

1.Ditto Mail readers
2.McDonalds - and their film-themed toys for children to get them hooked, but most of all for their truly terrible food!
3.my colleague (w/o kids) who advises me regularly on bringing up kids as well as how to move house, teach etc, she's an expert on it all!
4.some of the new courses in universities
which are so lightweight and unchallenging they waste everyone's time & the students' money(I speak as an ex-lecturer)
5. Jobsworth types as Sexgoddess said
6. estate agents!

Middle of Solihull - busy shopping centre

eidsvold · 02/05/2004 12:53

ohh I am a mail reader

drivers who think they own the road - especially those in bright shiny 4x4 that have never seen mud or some rugged terrain .... who think because they have a bigger car than me they can push me off the road or drive at me from a side street and I will automatically stop and let the in.

People who pull out to overtake you whilst you are doing more than the speed limit on the motorway and then pull back in front of you and drive at 60 mph or less.....

middle lane hoggers on the motorway

people who cannot use manners eg says thanks when you hold a door open for them or let them into a line of traffic

people who phone for anything like remortgage, holiday time share, double glazing, and then get annoyed when you do not want to hear their spiel

medical staff who cannot help but ask if I knew my daughter had down's syndrome before she was born ( implying that no doubt I would not have had her!!)

football yobs ( especially rude 10 year old ones whot hink it is amusing to use onscene language and gestures whilst dad looks on approvingly!!)

the disgusting amount of wages played to football players - one in the premiership gets £92 000 a week

celebrities who use the media to further their exposure/career and then get shirty when the media publish unflattering photos or stories about them

teenagers who think everything is everyone else's fault and the society owes them ....

I sound really intolerant and moany oh well.

BadHair · 02/05/2004 12:59

People who knock on my door to tell me that god loves me and if I donate money to whatever religion they are selling I will go to heaven.

MissChief · 02/05/2004 13:09

would be good if it worked though wouldn't it?

.....I am a shiny 4x4 driver and I don't push people off the road... but my husband does!!

Dh hates BMW drivers - is this autoism?

eddm · 02/05/2004 16:12

I must be really intolerant because I agree with every post Current peeve is Jehovah's Witnesses who won't go away without leaving a copy of the Watchtower even though you are obviously busy with a sick baby ? did I look like I was interested? No.

tanzie · 02/05/2004 20:15

BMW = Bad Man's Wheels! I am shiny 4x4 driver but do not drive fast and do not know how the 4 x 4 thingy works on it either.

McDonalds - we are fat enough

People who drive in the middle lane on motorways

Competitive mothers

Any telesales people

Mormons worse than JWs - round here they start with "May we come in and talk to you about Jesus?" with one foot in the door already. My response (which leaves them slightly open mouthed and you able to push foot out of door) "My religion does not proselytise (can't spell it, never mind) and by doing so, you are offending me by trying to suggest that your religion is better than mine." JWs were also very kind to my Mum when my dad died.

Fat people in sleeveless tops.

Have I offended everyone now?

DP's ex (who is also DD's real mum)
