What things annoy you in others?

[breeze]

Thought I would start another interesting thread, this morning while out with DS, I got stuck down a road where a taxi was picking someone up, I must have waited 2 minutes, only for the taxi driver to drive off and me noticing that 4 doors up there was a space that he could of easily parked into. This drives me nuts.

Also when you are waiting for a lift and the lift button is alight, someone else will come and press it, sometimes over and over again, thinking that doing so the lift will come quicker. This also applied when you are waiting at a crossing with several other people, and someone comes along and presses it ahhhh.

Any other out there?

people who sit in the middle lane of the m25 doing between 50 and 60 mph.. then flash their lights at you when you overtake them?!?!

Jim jams - mine is opposite - oh she will have a lot of love to give and be a happy child - well der - only cause we put the effort in and when she is not hungry/teething or does not want a nap and is over tired.

People who have to have the last word on a thread and won't let it lie !!!!

eh?

whoops, should have read:

eh?

Custardo!
I have another dislike ... boy racers with the 'boom boom' speakers in their cars and exhaust pipes the same diameter of a dinner plate ...
I absolutely hate it when I see footballers on telly or anyone else for that matter spit ... It makes me feel sick and I think it is disgusting ...
I very rarely feel critical about other mothers BUT there is one thing I hate ... when people let their toddlers walk around with gunge coming out of their noses without wiping it .... YUK YUK YUK!!!

People who use up all the mother and baby parking spaces without any child in sight - particularly other mums and dads with baby seats minus any child .
People who look disapprovingly at me when my child is having a screaming fit in public. I am not a bad mum - just a harrassed one.
Zingalong - my dd loves it and so I feel guilty switching it off - doubly irritating me.
Aaaaagh - feel better for that moan, can get on with the day now.

Scatterbrain and Enid

People who snort their snot - makes me cringe and also people who sit on the train / bus or whereever pick their nose, pretend to forget about it and then chew their nails (where they have hidden their boggies) - sorry if this puts you off your sunday lunches!!!

Chiccadum !!!!!

Cheers - ruined another f***g day for me !!

Scatterbrain, It might get better

People who don't drive who seem to think that car owners have all the time in the world to give them lifts even if it means going in the opposite direction. And that your car takes fuel that costs nothing.

custardo - my mother is 72 and would probably say the same thing about manners except she would be referring to young people. BTW I don't necessarily think she is right.

People who look on in astonishment as ds splashes about in a puddle getting wet and muddy. Why does nobody let their kids do this anymore?

Little girls with hardly any hair that is pulled tightly into two 'spring-onion' type bunches, usually with spangly elastic bands.

What is southern takeaway food?

Brilliant Custie - we're on the same wavelength !!

had a whole load of misanthropic things to unload about "fair weather" playgrounders after this pm's trip with ds - but feel much better now you'll all be relieved to hear!

eulalia , southern takaway food is crap thats what it is, they cant cook chips, no hollands pies they dont put gravy on anything and look at you like your from another planet when you say " yes dear put the feckin peas OVER the chips its not a hard concept"

not said it on another thread but welldone you scummy you have really done it - and kept same too

do agree with the puddle and kids comment - iused to get people ( mainly mother in law and other tutting relatives) complaining when kids played out in the rain ??? - it wont kill them you know - in fact as they get older kids stay in when its sunny and play out when its cold?

ks - wernt you at london meet up? if it was you thought you looked quite normal you know..coinsidering

and have to admit to everyone now - i dont really recycle - i just loved being on a high horse - never been so high before - i loved it

Latest, Recycling is bad according to swedish scientists... unless it is very light in weight. Definitely not paper or aluminium etc.

Feel much better now.

Men with receeding hair lines that pretend that they havent, they grow the back and drag in forward, Totally gross. Give me a bald headed man anyday.

sorry, you can't have mine breeze

Elliott, Shame , saying that I have one a home too

Umm...people that say recycling is really bad for the environment....the people that bought every last bottle of water in Sainsbury's last thursday...the weird woman who stood in said queue with FIVE torches in her trolly.....Northerners who've never been to London...conspiracy theorists...anyone who voted for Ken Livingston for mayor...ANYONE that believes ANYTHING the Daily Mail says..

Lil - you've just reminded me of another one: Londoners who ask me why I don't have a Northern accent when I say i come from Norfolk (nothing against Northerners)....also the person at Which? who said that reusable nappies may be worse for the environment than disposables.

...and the (British) person in the local shop last year who bought all of the remaining bottles of water (about 20) despite the fact that the water in the area had been completely cut off and there were at least 5 other people looking for water in the shop. Actually, in that situation, the shop-keeper annoyed me too.

Lil - how about Londoners who've never been oop North?

My DD2 has a fairly broad Lancs accent and visited a (holiday romance) friend in Herts - her accent was mimicked, with an edge, the whole time she was there...

(Anyway we can't afford to breathe down there!)
