Some of my pet peeves:
1) People who will not give learner drivers some space. We were all learners once, and I cannot stand to see someone driving about two inches from the rear of a learner driver.
2) Actually, tailgating in general. Especially when being tailgated and you couldn't go any faster than you're already going because there is a load of traffic in front. I do tend to find at times like this that my windscreen needs a quick squirt of water/screenwash, as bloke with really bad comb over in Merc drop top found out last summerIf I want to go faster than the car in front I will overtake when safe to, or bide my time until I can overtake, they move over (if in middle/outer lane on motorways/dual carriageways)
3) People who do not slow down for horses. Do you want a hoof through your windscreen or something? Is your day going to come to a grinding halt just because you had to slow down for a few seconds? I think not!
4) People who hum in public. I am actually twitching just typing this, that is how much it irritates me. Whistling not so much, but humming, aaaargh!
5) People in supermarkets who cough and sneeze all over the fruit/vegetables/olive bar etc. Well I did want some pears tonight but now I don't think I will bother...PUT YOUR HAND OVER YOUR MOUTH AND TURN AWAY WHEN COUGHING OR SNEEZING!
6) People who spit in the streets. Utterly revolting and uncalled for.
7) People who squeeze their spots in public. Especially on trains. Especially when the contents of the spot then end up on the window.

- people stopping suddenly in front of me
- people talking in doorways
- and i realise this is probably because i don't have any children yet, but parents (and i do mean both mum and dad, so one could have stayed home) taking the whole family shopping, complete with at least one moody sulk teenager constantly getting in the way
- people who ram their prams into your ankles
- Facebook statuses that say something like 'hubby going to shop why i make tea'.
- the use of the word preggers. and the word hubby to some extent but that's used too often so i guess i'm more immune
- people who eat with their mouth open or, slightly more infuriatingly i find, mouth closed but you can hear them chew. so you can't say anything cos they do have their mouth closed but it's still a disgusting noise.
....maybe i just don't like peoplex x

Drivers who don't indicate at a junction when I'm trying to cross the road. I'm left stood there like a wally when they finally pull out and I realise they weren't heading down the street I'm trying to cross. Grrrr, does my nut in.0

oh yuk yes, spitting in public and that horrible gochling noise before the spitting - why why why :mad: ?0 -
I agree with SO many of these.
I thought of another - I have a friend who puts ?! on the end of everything so I always read it as if she's exasperated.
'What are you wearing tomorrow night!?' sometimes more than one set too 'I didn't realise he said that?!?!?!??!?!?!'Proud meowmy of four fuzzy cats0 -
People who leave the “freshness seal” on jugs of milk, alongside people who leave the paper or foil on top of a tub of butter, after they have opened it.0
-
1) A gang of teenagers that think they are hard, swearing, shouting loudly, intimidating, throwing their fish and chips wrappers on the floor, finishing their cans and drop kicking them or crushing them and leaving them.
2) Superiority, the way some people can speak so patronizingly to you and not even know it, making you out to be the stupid one.
3) Dog poo on the pavement, then having to swerve to avoid it when the person with the dog is a few feet ahead having done nothing about it.
4) Being pushed, shoved, jolted in the sales, in a queue and not so much as a sorry.
5) The way the TV is on normal volume for the actual programme and when the ads come on it goes so loud everyone is scrambling for the remote to turn it down0 -
