    :mad:BAD TIME KEEPING!
    OMG, I literaly go INSANE if someone is late, my pulse goes up and I think Im going to explode, even typing it here is making me get mad!
    I would rather be 2 hours early for something than 2 mins late:mad:

    Yup, this really gets on my wick too. My OH and I are forever having fights about it! I have just learnt to accept that he will never be on time now.

    Another one is if we are going out and he is coming from his to mine to pick me up, which is about a 20 minute trip, I tell him "call / text me when you're leaving so I can make sure I'm ready". he never does and it drives me CRAZY!

    People with misspelled tattoos. I followed a girl around TK Maxx over the summer who had tried (and failed) to have the latin "Vis Unita Fortior" at the top of her back presumably in honour of our local football club. Instead her back proclaimed "Vis UNIT Fortior". I did wonder if she realised...

    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.

    Spot on! Those are too of mine too. Every single lunchtime the roads are full of oldies, the supermarkets are full of oldies - PLEASE people, I only have a short lunch break, give me a chance to get stuff done!

    On a similar vein, what absolutely infuriates me is trying to get an appointment with my GP either before or after work. I have to wait at least 3 weeks to get one of these time slots and when I get there, the waiting room is full of retirees and SAHM's for whom a mid afternoon or mid morning appointment would be fine. But no, they take up those precious few appointments outside of working hours that every working person is competing for. It's so unfair! :mad:

    Oh, and as for those people who abandon their trolley at the end of the aisle in supermarkets? Start putting random large items in there. Nothing small that they wouldn't notice and end up paying for, but something large and obvious, like a 24 pack of loo roll. It's very amusing to see their confusion when they come back to their trolley and find something in there that they didn't pick up. They begin to doubt whether it actually is their trolley. :D
    Cruel? Possibly. But they shouldn't abandon their trolley and cause obstructions! :rotfl:
    You had me at your proper use of "you're".

  • Ooh another one.

    When stood behind someone at McDonald's who orders a double extra large McWhatever with extra this and a side of that and two extra cheeseburgers and a chocolate muffin... and then coyly asks for a Diet Coke to go with it, as if that in some way mitigates the vast orgy of consumption that's just been ordered in food terms. Highly irritating.

    Or they might just prefer Diet Coke - I do.

    Yup, me too. I often worry when placing my order, that someone will jump to the conclusion that I think the Diet Coke cancels out the burger!

    Similarly, I find coffees made with whole milk to be a little too rich, so I probably irritate people of that disposition with my order of a skinny latte with sugar-free vanilla (tastes exactly the same, so why not go sugar free?), often accompanied by a cake or pastry.:D
