Beau Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Had a quick think and have come up with 5 things. I'm sure I'll think of others as this list really didn't take me too long (but I did used to live near Tunbridge Wells so perhaps that explains it! ) I may have to come along and change some of them later as more occur to me! People who talk on their mobile phones whilst driving Committee meetings Parents who don’t strap their children into the car properly Unnecessary packaging Competitive parents who push their children Love Mrs Irate from Aberdeenshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 All of the above! Plus: People who throw their sweet wrappers etc out of cars while they're driving along Fly tippers and others who dump rubbish bags and mattresses People smoking in cars with young children Banks that suggest it costs them £35 to bounce a cheque... Intolerant people who make lists of their dislikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I agree with lots of the above but here is my list!! People jumping red lights Bad manners Lack of discipline The indiscriminate letting off of fireworks Uneven and high pavements-my mum had a really bad fall today because of this.

Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 People who chew gum with their mouth open and talk to you Kids/adults who keep their hoods up indoors Older people who do not say thankyou when younger people are polite to them eg. hold the door open Parents who do not bother to wipe their children's nose Never getting through to a human being on the phone and having to endure inane music interupted by a recording telling you that the company/business is extemely busy but really values your call..... AGh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Oh gosh I feel my legs being slapped!! - My teenage children do (or did) wear their hoods up - its apparently cool or at least it was - I think we've moved on now I got caught going through a red light at 12 MPH - 3 points and a £60 fine - was indecisive in a strange area with 7 in the car, loads of luggage and didn't know where I was going!! So I went and faced the consequences. I've had firework parties - not on the 5th and probably not indiscriminate!! I always eat in the cinema - my excuse is that if I don't get loads of sugar - I fall asleep - I have done this so many times that my children ban me from going with them in case I snore or dribble!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps I ought to take a red bull in with me. Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hip Hop music Trick or treating Pull-up's People who ignore road signs especially in bus lanes. If the exclusion times are 7am to 10am, I can go in it at 5 past! Slugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Spitting - Vile Adults who sneeze and cough without making any attempt to put their hand/hanky over their mouth. I was in a shop recently and the girl sneezed and coughed, all the while scanning my purchases. Lucky they were all in packets/boxes. Complete strangers who say "Cheer Up, it might never happen". Its none of their business if I'm feeling miserable. People who try to push their way into a traffic jam after speeding up the inside lane when I and everybody else have been sitting in the queue for 10 minutes. The people who let them in get on my nerves as well. Christmas shopping I just hate all those bodies coughing and sneezing their way through shopping centres with all the added noise, heat, and flashing lights. That felt good to have a rant G.

Inge Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 people who talk on mobile phones while being served in shops or supermarkets.. Call centres ...you end up going round in circles pushing numbers on the phone often ending up where you began or put on hold for ages running up your bill listening to some really terrible musak. slugs and snails impatient drivers waiting around at airports having been told to book in hours before a flight and have it delayed.

mundia Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 arent we a grumpy lot then?? well here goes then. strawberries (Im alergic so why should anyone else have them?) ants (what are they all about?)

catma Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Not sure i can reduce it to 5 - 5: Drivers in SE15. Specifically. Those who do not recognise that putting your hazard lights on does NOT give you permission to park on the DOUBLE red lines. THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON AND THAT REASON IS TO LET ME PASS BY WITHOUT LET OR HINDRANCE. 4: The saturday morning 7 am dustbin collection. 3: The Royal mail postal delivery service. In SE15. And Postwatch. Who clearly don't. Watch the post that is. 2: Wedgewood for deleting my china pattern only 3 years after introducing it and me deciding to buy it on the grounds it would be around for a while then. Like my mothers which existed for at least 2 centuries before being deleted. It's not fair. IN AT ONE: Call centres linked to ICT support/BT/british Gas, well all of them really. See blogs for fuller rant. Enjoyed that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
