    Thought of another.

    People who say brought not bought. "I brought it from Top Shop" - No you didn't, you BOUGHT it from Top Shop.

    Texting in the silly shortned version.

    "I wnt 2 skl 2dai n lrnt nwt!" My 14 year old sister adds extra letters to her words, such as:

    Schooooolllll.

    Isabelllllleeee.

    Okkkkaiiii.

    Arrrhhhhhhh.

    I've got quite a few!!

    People with trolley loads of shopping using the self serve checkouts :mad:
    Drivers who use the wrong lanes at roundabouts.
    Waiting at the cash point for the person in front to finish checking their mini statement. You've printed it off for a reason now shift it!

    There's definitely more but these 3 REALLY wind me up.

    My husband who insists on pulling a grubby handkerchief out of his pocket in public and loudly blowing his nose. It riles me, I dont know of any other bloke who carries a hanky and its all a bit 'mummy's boy' to me. The foghorn sounds he emits wind me up even further. Problem is he knows it winds me up so does it all the more. lol

    I can't understand why people don't carry hankies.

    I'm on a roll now :D

    I realise I'll probably get flamed for this but nevermind! People who don't work who go shopping at lunchtime or a saturday morning. The amount of old people in town at 1pm is a nightmare! Once I've retired and have a choice of when to go, I certainly won't choose when all the office people are running around trying to fit everything into a 30min lunch break.

    Also, people who wander off from their trollies then tut at you when you move it out of the way.

    People who can’t grasp the difference between “lose” and “loose”, is it really that hard?! :mad:

    If you lose weight your belt gets loose, so you move the buckle to the next hole, and the two holes represent the oo in loose.

    Or, if you lose weight you measure the loss in pounds and stones, or kilos, and all of those units have one o in them, like the one o in lose!
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
