urban irritations - what are yours ?

[alphabetsoup]

• when there's a run of pay and display parking but someone parks their Honda Civic four feet from the end of the bay then someone leaves another four feet before parking their car etc...so there's lots of wasted unuseable parking space and no room for anyone else.
• shopkeepers who thrust the bag/ your change at you while your hands are full (and the shop is empty apart fronm you so it's not as if the next customer is waiting)
• people who leave their shopping trolleys in parking spaces in carparks rather than walking 20 yards to put it back in the proper bay
• pavement dawdlers

Dog poo on the pavement or in grass verges.

Dog shit

People who walk side by side on pavement despite someone (me) coming toward them and I'm expected to walk in road/ grass to get round them.

people who have those 'R U 2 close' signs on their cars and who insist on driving everywhere at 15 mph - yes I am too bloody close cos you're going too bloody slow!

People who drive at 45 mph on a 60 and who still drive at 45 mph when they go through a 30mhp

Weirdos who talk to you at bus stops, even though you are wearing headphones.

People who don't say thank you when you've held a door open for them.

rats
people smoking whilst they walk in front of you (I know i am a bit unreasonable on this one,...)
people who are out late and seem to forget they are walking past peoples homes and SHOUT AND SCREAM (argh)

oh yes and on doors
people who let them slam in your face
