People who lick their knife.

That's made me think of one I dislike intensely - people who hold knives like pens.

Or just use their fork in their right hand, usually in the manner of a spoon. Often Americans but creeping in more and more here.

When you are standing in line (usually in the post office) and the person behind you stands so close you can feel their breath on your neck. Then when you shuffle forward a bit, they shuffle forward. Then you shuffle forwards a bit more and they do too, and every little step you take they follow.

You're not going to get to the front of the queue any FASTER!

Oooo I feel a bit better now :rotfl:

On the tube / buses

• People in the tube who have forgotten to bath / wear deodrant.
• Men who push small children and old ladies out the way to get a seat.
• The people who tut when you sniff, then give a look of disgust if you blow your nose.
• I pay £2000 a year to get to work, how much does your bag pay?? Shift it.
• I pressed the stop button, why are we passing where I need to get off Mr Bus Driver? In a rush are we? We'll perhaps if you hadn't help up the traffic in both directions for 5 min while you had a natter with the driver of the No 8 we would be on time.

The street

• Spitting
• Dropping litter
• Texting without looking where you're going
• Laptop bags on wheels, if you have one make sure you can control it
• Kids walking 4 wide on the pavement when your trying to get past
• Chicken wings everywhere

Small Shops

• Please look me in the eye while you're taking my cash I dont care how interesting your text is.
• I require you tell me the total amount of my goods, you cant be bothered to put prices on your stock, you have the till, I could get the over-inflated price of your shoddy goods, but I am not just handing over a £10 in the hope I'll get some change.
• 50p for a 1st class stamp (not illeagal - shocking!)

Big Shops

• Moving stuff around every week
• Not usuing the same measurement so you can work out if the 500g is cheaper than the 1000g bag as they are labeled at per 234g and per 973kg
• When bag packing the bread does not go at the bottom

In general

• Text speak
• People who say "init"
• Chappy at work who has Friday afternoons off to go to prayers but tucks into a bacon butties at any given opportunity
• Swearing in front of children
• Christine Bleakley
• Those "Hi have you reclaimed your PPI" recorded messages 5 times a day

I have a lot more but really long posts pi** me off too.... Whoops!

I lick my knife, click my knuckles (and neck!), use my fork like a spoon, pick my nose, leave clothes on the floor where I take them off and drink from the milk carton. Sorry!

My pet hates are the 99% of people who inhabit a slightly different time stream from me, where it takes them twice as long to do basic tasks such as:

* Cashpoints: Card in, enter pin, press maximum of 2 more buttons, take cash. This takes 25 seconds. Why do some people take minutes at a cashpoint, reading the screen like its a novel?

* Paying: I am in a queue, I have the item I wish to purchase in one hand and my method of payment in the other. The transaction will take maximum 30 seconds. Some people go to a till and when they are told they have to pay it is like a big surprise. Only then do they reach into handbag to get purse, and root around for money.

* Banks (particularly at lunchtime when I am in a hurry): I only ever need to go to a bank to pay in a cheque. This takes 30 seconds. Why are the people in front of me asking about exchange rates, getting a loan, quibbling over a 5p error or paying in a million pounds worth of 1ps?

*Dawdlers: When I am walking somewhere I have a destination in mind and my goal is to get to that destination, so I walk there fast. Very often it is like playing "Frogger" on the pavement having to weave in an out of people who have stopped, had a random direction change, are wandering aimlessly or are simply just slow. There needs to be a fast lane for pavements!

whats that?

I think my biggest online pet peeve is people who type in capital letters all the time! Yes I know they are necessary on occasions but must you tell me you HAD A REALLY GREAT WEEKEND THANK YOU :mad:

In general however I have a bit of a list:
* People who change the subject halfway through a conversation
* People who can't type in basic English sentences
* Drs/Receptionists/Interviewers who assume I filled in a form incorrectly and swap my first and last names round (I know how to fill in a form with my names in the right boxes thank you!)
* Customers in work who speak to me like a 5 year old
* Cyclists who think traffic rules do not apply to them
* Pedestrians who cross the road without using the perfectly good crossing designed for that very purpose
* People who post pictures of their baby bumps on facebook everyday
* Men who use the phrase 'We're pregnant'
* People who say they 'caught pregnant'

Have to agree with 99% of these, have to confess I prefer diet coke and do ....too....

Also:

Habitual liars. If you going to not do something, just say so, don't come up with a million excuses as to why you wouldn't and that its going to be your next priority.

Drama queens. Stop thinking the world revolves around you. It doesn't.

People who don't take responsibility. From dossers who sponge off the state with no intention of paying society back, to people at work who pass the buck at every opportunity, to people who don't clean up after themselves.
