[*]people stopping suddenly in front of me

I hate this one too. I always try to move out of the way or manoeuvre around people in the city centre as much as possible but when someone stops dead in front of you you don't have much time to recover.

Worst is when they turn and look at you like you were trying to mug them.

5) The way the TV is on normal volume for the actual programme and when the ads come on it goes so loud everyone is scrambling for the remote to turn it down

I forgot about that one, that really gets on my norks

I agree with quite a few of these lol.

My main one is seeing men/women of any age walking down the road swigging from a can or bottle of beer. I'm sure they think they are the epitome of cool but it just makes them look like idiots.

Men/women who have just left a club but decide to empty their bladders in the nearest doorway. I'm sure the last time I went into a club/pub they had adequate toilet facilities!

That made me laugh! :rotfl:

Moot

- Litter
- Dog dirt in public areas
- The House of Commons when they jeer and mock. They sound like a bunch of five year olds and they don't represent me!
- Middle lane drivers.
- People who suddenly stop in the street for no reason and then give you a dirty look if you almost walk into the back of them.
- Drivers who hit your car and drive off without saying a word.
- Call centres
- Avios
- Neighbours who are quiet all day and then put really loud music on at MIDNIGHT!!! You know who you are.

Thats just for starters there's plenty more. I must be a right miserable *******

Brilliant, never heard "do lally tap" before! However yes pedantic people get my goat too, sadly I encounter people with this lovely trait on a daily basis!

:rotfl:Well what this thread has proved is that we are a nation of malcontents and irritated people. I'm nodding away to most of them as well:p

In no particular order, my pet peeves are as follows:

• Lazy english/text speak. I am 30 and sometimes get texts from my brother (19) that I am sure are written in a foreign language (for example: hey sis cld u rng me bout sat m nt sre m gnna b abl 2 cme rd thx - this is an actual text received last week, surely writing it out properly is not that hard with predictive text )
• At DS's school, at pick up time, all parents wait for the kids in the playground. No matter how early you get there, you can guarantee some bright spark of a parent will come and stand right in front of you blocking your view of the door therefore preventing you picking up your child as the teacher has to see you to hand said child over.
• People who stop for a chat in the middle of the supermaket aisles with their trolleys blocking the route for everyone else.
• People on public transport who don't take into account the other people around them. The amount of times I hear teens swearing at each other is ridiculous, it has got so bad recently I refuse to go upstairs on the bus after hearing a drug deal take place on my local route :eek: (I travel with a 6 year old most of the time).
• Coughing without covering your mouth - it's jut disgusting and I don't want your germs!
• Anything involving Jedward :rotfl:
• People who love to turn everything into a competition

That's all I can think of for now, am sure there are more

People who say 'I agree 150%' or 'I give 110%...' no you don't! You can't do anything over 100%!

My top three have to be

1. Cyclists who do not stop at red lights. The amount of times I have seen near misses because cyclists have misjudged the timings of the lights or I have been nearly knocked over whilst trying to cross.

2. Pedestrians not using the crossing provided only yards from where they are standing in the middle of the road wearing dark clothing expecting you to stop to let them cross.

3. Have to agree with many others, lack of manners. The amount of times I have held the door open for people and they have just walked through without a single acknowledgement.


I have been known that if someone is tailgating me I drop my speed to 15-20 mph knowing that they can't overtake, once they have got the hint and backed off I then increase my speed to 30mph.:)

There are so many others you could just go on and on:rotfl:
