People that walk about with blue tooth hands free ear pieces on ALL of the time

Some people do this to avoid having their phone snatched out of their hand, apparently its quite common. Other people do it to look like a !!!!!!, obviously :rotfl:

This is on my list too.

Last week in the supermarket, a man tutted loudly and asked "Do you always listen so intently to conversations that have nothing to do with you?". :eek:

I have to agree that I was indeed listening intently, as I was trying to decipher what on earth this man was trying to tell me, having started suddenly started nattering away beside me whilst we perused the tinned veg! :rotfl:

It was only when I saw the blue flashing thing on his ear I twigged.

What really gets to me is when someone sits next to you on the bus and when it comes to your stop instead of standing up and stepping back they step forward so you have to try and squeeze past them. It just makes no sense!

Absolutely pathetic - grow up girl, being disabled is nothing to laugh about and does not make you a second class citizen. Adding a wink does not make your post any less disrespectful to my daughter.

Listen here, girl...(!!!!!!?!)

Being disabled does not afford your daughter or anybody else carte blanche to behave as they wish and to hell with the rest of us.

I wouldn't run headlong into someone from behind on the pavement and expect them to move out of my way (assuming that they're also psychic and know that I'm coming), so why should someone riding a scooter on the pavement think that they can?

Anyone that wants to behave like that should get off the pavement and onto the road, where it's still not polite to drive at people, but at least they'd be more likely to come of worse in a collision.;)

I completely agree. I'm a fairly 'fast' person myself and can't stand dawdlers and people who get in my way, but I equally can't stand people who rush around in a completely unproductive manner! Add to your points:

- People who get up way too early on the train. We're MILES away from the next stop. If you want to stand up for the next twenty minutes then knock yourself out, but you look like a knob and it's not going to make the train arrive any faster.

- People who get their keys out when they're half a mile away from their house/car. Yes, fine, have your keys ready as you approach the door, but why do you need to walk down the entire street jangling them about, as if to say, "ooh look at me, I have keys! To my own door! I know how to open it and everything! Shiny shiny! I AM AMAZING." Just go away.

I do the last one as a safety precaution, especially if it is dark. If I am in a multi-story or the middle of a fairly empty carpark it definitely feels safer to be able to open my car right away, rather than be fumbling for keys if something did happen. Also, if it is cold I want to be able to go inside straight away and not be stood outside for longer than I have to!

Don't know whether it's already been mentioned, but my pet peeve is the safety lids on tablets, bleach bottles, etc.

I can never open the darned things, they drive me demented.

Oh yes - that's fine! I didn't mean sensible people I'll get my keys ready too. But I'll just keep them tucked in my hand or in my coat pocket. It's people who make a massive song and dance out it that bug me, like they're trying to show off that they're about to go inside a particular house or get into a particular car. No one cares!

My daughter, who, when we get near her car unlocks it, then says, you've got 30 seconds to reach the car or it will lock again and you won't get in.
She does this every time.

Running trailers for a programme during ad breaks when the programme I'm watching hasn't finished. As if the ads themselves aren't enough of an intrusion, they put a programme within a programme.

Oh yes another one. Putting the first chapter of the next book at the end of the book I'm reading. Always make a point of never reading it.
