Spitting on the pavement. It's disgusting! If you do cough up, how hard is it to spit it down a drain, rather than on the footpath where people will walk through it?

When I'm Queen of the World people who spit on the street will be shot on sight. It's probably the thing I hate most in the world, it literally makes me heave to see big gobs of spit on the pavement. It's disgusting, unhygenic, rude and downright nasty. I especially hate it when people make a massive production of heaving a big gob of spit out. It's just vile.

My pet peeve is being interupted when talking. Its just plain rude.

There is a woman at work who constantly does this, if I am talking to someone else, she has even tried to interupt phone calls..if she has something to say then by god she will say it....I could wring her neck.

I like this thread Here's my list in no particular order

1) People who spit in public places.
2) People who block the aisles in the supermarket for a chat.
3) The word chillax! :mad: This has to be the most stupid "word" I have ever come across.
4) People who say they will give more than 100%
5) Text messages that are all text speak. A few BTWs or LOLs I can cope with but an entire message just looks like some kind of code I have to crack. My sister is 10 years younger than I am and sometimes I have to read her messages three or four times to understand them.
6) People who shorten my name when I've just met them. I don't mind friends and family doing it but if I've just introduced myself as xxxx don't immediately shorten it to xx as if we are long lost pals.
7) People who hug everyone including people they've just met and those they don't like.
8) In fact two faced people in general. If you have a problem with someone tell THEM not everyone but them!
9) Rude people
10) People in customer service roles who don't give the customers 100% of their attention.
11) People who treat those in customer service roles as if they are beneath them or as if they are their personal servants

Ok I'm going to stop now

People whistling.
Drivers in the wrong lane on roundabouts.
People who say 'skelington' instead of 'skeleton'.
People who say 'scotch people' instead of 'scottish people'.
Dog owners who think it is ok for their dog to jump up at you or approach you. Dog owners that walk in front of their dog, so that they can't see when they have pooed!
Dog poo in bags hanging from pram/buggy handles -eurghh!
People that can't be bothered to push their used shopping trolley so it stacks and takes up less room.
Knuckle cracking.

My DH carries a handkerchief. I hate it!

My pet peeves.... :rotfl:


1/ people at work who park across the middle of two bays deliberately which means everyone else has to park further back.

2/ the woman in the green Hyundai coupe who obviously owns the roads round here, she pulls into the main road from side streets, stops at the paper shop then indicates to leave without waiting for a gap in traffic.

I know where she lives, one of those days I'm going to go round and tell her what a $h!t driver she is!

3/ family members who post political tosh on fb, wish they wouldn't some family members are hard enough to like some days as it is, lol!

4/ people who walk their dogs and SWING the dog poo bag, and it's even worse when they're using colourless and transparent bags because they're cheaper than green dog poo bags, yuk!

Still loving this thread!

I forgot the following:

1) Public loos with no hook to hang your bag. When installing a loo does the cost of a hook really break the bank?

2) (This is a biggie) Mums who bang on about how gifted their children are. I really can't understand why the country is in so much trouble, and why our education system has such a bad reputation, when there are so many gifted children out there...
Your child is perhaps able, not "gifted" - only a tiny percentage of people are truly gifted. Plus I don't want to hear about it!

Someone used to do that at my old place of work to "protect" his Carrera from door dings (Lots of posh cars in the car park, so his wouldn't have been an envy target). Eventually people took exception and two of them turned up in their beater cars one day and squeezed next to him, leaving about 1/4" gap between the cars. Still parked that way when I went home that night, don't know how long they remained there, but he never parked like that again.

Someone else said this already from a Facebook perspective, but following it up...

I don't mind the use of 'LOL' as an acronym, as it does stand for 'laughing out loud'. So I don't mind it as a standalone statement:
"My cat sneezed today and made herself jump! LOL!"

But I hate the incorporation of it into a sentence as if 'lol' is a word, which requires no punctuation around it whatsoever:
"My cat sneezed today lol and she made herself jump lol!"

At the very least, a comma, please. It does rile me!

People (at work) who leave the toilet in a mess and rather than cleaning it up with the toilet brush that is RIGHT THERE beside the loo, just shut the toilet lid. WHAT THE HELL?

People who say "me and my husband" rather than "my husband and I". Presumably they were vacant during the 9-11 years of compulsory education in this country!

Women who are constantly fiddling with their hair.

People who can't hold a knife and fork properly. No, the fork is not a shovel and the knife is not a scalpel!
