Not been done in a while - random things that annoy you..

Stooooopid, ignorant, people who watched a woman and her friend using a wheelchair struggle onto a non wheelchair friendly bus, and in fact push past them to get on. I held back to let her take her time but couldn't help as I had a toddler, collapsed buggy amd shopping to contend with myself. Chuds.

Also, on the same theme, the old bag who shoved in front of me to get on the bus going into town, thereby filling the only possibly space for my buggy with her fecking shopping trolley. Then sat there watching me struggle to collapse everything and get on the bus.

The fates.

Heres mine........

I hate it when the bottoms of my jeans get soaked - eugh

I hate it when my cats kick bits of cat litter across the wood floor in the hall and I stand on it when I get up in the middle of the night etc - ouch

People who stop dead infront of you

I hate using relying on my over draft two weeks into the month becasue ive over spent, yet again.

I hate periods, cramp, pmt, hormonal/emotional issues!

I hate when people call 999 ( I work in a 999 call centre) and ask for an ambulance and the first question asked is "What is the address of the emergency?" 98% of the time they answer with what the emegency is. Why dont people listen and then they shall receive help quicker?! (with the exception of those in a real life or death situation, I understand its hard to concentrate when your panicking)

I hate doing 12hr nightshifts constantly.

I have the name thing too, just because my name sounds a bit like Morgan, doesn't mean it is!

and as ever, middle lane motorway drivers.

I've read this thread & agree with so many

People who get my name wrong, in spelling & pronounciation. It's not hard grrr

Cyclists who go through red lights & don't stop on zebra crossings. I wanted to kick one earlier this week for almost knocking me over

Cyclists who don't wear a helmet, but instead prefer to hang it from their handlebars. I am a regular cyclist and that is plain stoopid

People who walk up escalators & then stop just before the top. If you're going to walk, try to commit to going whole hog!

The Eggheads. Especially CJ who is so up himself

oh dear, I'm sure there are plenty more, but I should stop here ?

Most of those already mentioned.

People who pronounce my surname wrong - even worse when I've just told them what my name is (it's a similar difference to that between Smith and Smythe).

Today - colleagues who send everything to my printer (there are about 20 others in the building) 'by accident' using up all my paper then don't bother to collect it or refill the paper meaning I get an office full of crap and no paper for my own work (I'm on the top floor, said colleagues usually sit next to the stationery supply).

You're right.

I would stab you with any available cutlery. Do you cut your bread roll with a knife, by any chance?

People standing so close behind you in a queue, they are more or less shafting you up the ass---grrrrr-back off!

Where do I start.....

1. Magic trees hanging in cars, espcially with the bag hanging off it.

2. Dog poo or even people that allow their dogs on leads to piss up everything like car tyres etc.

3. people that dip things directly into trays of dips.. that pisses me off especially when they have had a bite ofthe bread stick and then stick the slavery end back in?

4. people that park over two bays

5. not shutting my gate

Right....

My husband slurping his tea in the morning (at no other time does he do this!)

The stupid american woman at Leicester Square Tube yesterday who was looking at the ceiling for some reason and who I tried to avoid walking into but kept moving in front of me and who screamed for the police and accused me of trying to steal her bag....Mr Tube Man saw it and told her that wasn't what happened.

Being conned into thinking I am a man flu widow when in fact I am a Ryder Cup widow.

My house (see also where I live)

The american tourists who made me miss my train last night by getting on the wrong bus and asking the driver which bus they needed to get somewhere and took 5 minutes to understand that where they wanted to go was in fact a 5 minute walk straight up the road.

People (read his family) who ask you how you are and then when you tell them that things are not too good for one reason or another blank you and start talking about themselves.

My husband taking credit for ideas which I have been banging on about for years and which he has stuck his heels in about and now it is the best idea he has ever had.

The group of teenagers stood outside sainsburys just now who sprayed beer all over the floor and I nearly fell on my arse and the security guard who started acting like the Lion in the Wizard of Oz when he told them to move on.

People who don't say thank you.

Being dosed up on beechams all in one therefore negating the possibility of a medicinal bottle of vino

I am in a foul mood and I am annoyed that I am in such a foul mood on a Friday night!

This one really gets my goat at the moment - motorists who don't thank you when you've stopped to let them through a narrow bit of road (where there are cars parked on both sides and no passing places). It's so ignorant. Would it really hurt you to wave or flash your lights or acknowledge the fact I've sat there for two minutes WAITING for you?!?! Grrrrrr.

People in cars who do not acknowledge me when I let them out.

People who do not wash the cups properly at work and find it too difficult to dry their cutlery.

People who are looking at something in shops and then step backwards. Actually, anyone without the perception of what is happening around them, including car drivers who pull over before looking.

People try and add extra letters to my name to make it sound more posh than it actually is! That doesn't annoy me, it just happens.

People who stop in the middle of supermarket aisles to have a chat and give you a dirty look when you ask to get by.

Parking on my street is a nightmare and what winds me up is people parking too far from the next car. If they just move up a bit, then another couple of cars could fit in.

The mardy receptionists at school who didn't put H2B's call through to my office even though he had just gone to A&E!

Clacton-on-Sea.

People calling brown things like chocolate, coffee, cappacino, fudge etc etc. It's brown and shades thereof.

Irrational I know.

There is a sign on the door of an office in work saying "Inspectors office" to mean the office where the Inspector sits. Drives me bloody potty. I am dying to ask how many inspectors are hiding in there. There is also a large billboard type sign near me for a furniture store which sells sofa's.

Random American voiceovers on British TV ads. You could have the best product in the world but it immediately puts you to the bottom of the list. Last time I looked, I didn't live in the States.

Trendy camera work that switches rapidly between shots or starts off blurry then comes into focus or shoots from a weird angle. Please just hold the camera steady and focus properly! I really shouldn't feel travel sick watching the telly. ?

Credits that either whizz up the screen so fast you can't read them or get shrunk to one side of the screen while a trailer for a future programme comes up on the other side. I wanted to be able to see who played that character/what that piece of music was.

The increasing use of the word 'movies'. When did we stop watching films and start watching movies? Wossy in particular should know better. The name of the programme is Film 2008 for a reason.

Department store shoe departments which put the large sizes on the bottom shelf, thereby making the tall people with the big feet bend all the way to the floor when surely it would make more sense to put the smaller sizes there because the short people with the dinky feet wouldn't have so far to stoop.

Steve Jones on T4. If he was any more up himself he'd turn inside out. ?

The entrance to my local Waitrose. It's so badly designed that people coming in are struggling to get through the same small gap as all the people coming out, whom you can't see coming until the last second.

Gordon Brown.

Being wide awake at 1am mulling over what random things annoy me when I have to be up at 5am... ?

My hair colour is Chocolate. It's one of the things that drew me to it. ?

What do you do about the dog piss though? My lab cocks his leg all the time, when its against a garden fence, car tyre etc.. I always shout <Paul Whitehouse style> Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

He stops, put a wee spay has still come out.

It's not the dogs on lead you have to worry about, it's those free range moggies ?

I've got more:

The Confused.Com ads. Why is everyone over-coloured-in? They scare me.

People who say "Pacific" instead of "Specific."

Odd eating habits - I have a colleague who cuts her food up like she's sectioning tissue.

People who think that evidence is the plural of anecdote.

Ooh this is a good one for me - i get easily irritated by many things, infact i think having worked in central london for 7 years i have v little patience left! sooooo

1 - People spitting in the street - when did this become socially acceptable?

2 - Middle lane drivers - just shift over people lane 2 & 3 are for overtaking only!

3 - signs that say 'do not park (or similar) gates in constant use' - they are clearly not in constant use or they would be in use all the time ie constantly - grrrrr drives me mad, people just can't grasp the english language properly.

4 - people who don't say thank you when you have let them pass, held door open, let them out of side roads etc.

5 - people on trains who play their ipods or similar so loudly you can actually hear what song it is they are listening to depsite being half way up the carriage.

6 - golf umbrellas in central london - infact anywhere that isn't a golf course - usually carried by short businessmen.

7- tourists standing in the middle of pavement, tube platform, top/ bottom of escalators etc

8 - don't even get me started on cyclists in central london - the number of times i have so nearly been knocked over by cyclists on the pavement, going through red lights, wrong way up a one way street, through pedestrain only areas, across zebra crossings etc etc - why do they think the hgihway code does not apply to them?!! really really drives me mad.

9 - the bloke next to me at work generally but particulary calling me 'caz' - i haven't been called than since i was about 14 (am now 31) and no one calls me that ever.

10 - bus drivers that appear to be on a mission to get from one end of the route to the other in the shortest possible time regardless of whether this involves picking up or dropping off any passengers or allowing those on the bus to stay on their feet!

just a sample!!

Shop assistamts that carry on their conversations while they are serving you and the ones that look really miserable - i know the job isn't exciting but when I used to work for a suprmarket on the till I was told to smle at the customers.

People asking or telling me that I should have a baby soon now I have been married a year (we are ttc but that is none of their business) and when I say I'm not drinking when we go out I get comments about being pregnant - even though it is a well known fact I very rarely drink!

Colleagues that when ever someone mentions something they have been through it, done it seen it but ten times worse!

That's a start I'm sure I will think of more

I have this one, but my even more irrational one is when I have already pulled over because the obstruction is on my side of the road, and then the person coming the other way stops when it is quite clear I am letting them through, and it's their right of way. If I go I can hardly bear to wave at them because it annoys me. I think IABU though ?

People that don't understand mini roundabouts. They work the exact same way as the normal size version!

People at work who say 'Oh, are you having your lunch?' when I am sat at my desk, reading a book and eating a sandwich. Well duh.

MrSC snoring at night time. We go through phases and we're in one at the moment apparently.

Sky Sports News. I don't know why it annoys me so much, possibly because it's MrSC's default channel if there's nothing particular on.

I'll be back with more no doubt.

People that don't signal properly on roundabouts. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! The amount of time I have wasted staying put because someone is still signalling right but actually leaving the roundabout. I'm sure that if people signalled properly the would be less congestion and pollution, or at least it would be quicker to cross a roundabout.

Those that think they catch a cold from the cold or a draughts. Yes, the cold is cold, but it does not have magical viral properties. Wearing a scarf will not magically protect you from a virus numbnuts.

People that believe old wives tales must be true because everyone knows they are true. If I know that its not true and everyone has not been asked if they know its true, then technically you cannot claim that everyone knows X to be true.

Winnie the Pooh and Tigga. Eyeore and Roo aren't too bad though. I reserve judgement on Christopher Robin and the rabbit character.

Tooth grinding - gah

People that move/maul food around with their unwashed hands and when you are in a situation where you have to eat it out of politeness ?

Huge spots that you can't even squeeze. What's the point of them?

Firsty it has to be people who wander across the main road without looking, collage kids mainly who just walk out expecting people to slow down for them!! many a time ive slammed my breaks on to avoid knocking one of them over with my babies in the car!!

People who think its ok to let themselves in through my front door without knocking or think its ok to reach through and take the chain off when its on!!!(the outer front door as i have a middle one which not always is shut) this really annoys me!

Supermarkerts on a saturday.........nightmare!

Also people who go on and on about the same thing,come on now its getting boring!?

Car drivers who do not indicate,is it so hard to let someone know you are turning or pulling over.NO then do it then.

Customers at work who lie,thinking i will fall for it.Yesterday one customer said we had a sign on a different floor advertising half price food in the cafe.Did they think i would not ask them to show me the sign.

People who think when the sun comes out it means the children can play out even when it is 7am on a sunday.

People who ask me if i work at m&s when i am wearing a shirt and jacket with the logo on.I do not wear the uniform because it is flattering,i bloody have to.

People pushing in while in a queue,why are they so special that they think the queue of people will allow it.

Car drivers who do not let on to say thanks when you have let them past a gap.

car drivers on motorways that do not let you on while you are on a slip road.They stay at the side of you.
