Little things in life that annoy the hell out of you...

This

 

People who say the same things over and over again
People who think that because you have a phone you can invent a new language
People who say the same things over and over again
People who can work but choose not to because they know I will pay for them
People who think they can park anywhere on a road blocking all progress because they are picking their kids up from school or fetching some fish and chips
People who say the same things over and over again
People who sit in airports messing about with their itop, lappad or whatever to make it look like they are working
People who have loud conversations about embarassing personal problems on trains
People who say the same things over and over again
People who get in the pub before me and sit on the stool at the bar in the corner

 

People who leave the top off of the toothpaste tube so it all clogs up and goes hard, making it a bastar.d to get any more out.

 

The people who only use the middle lane of the motorway in general; they speed up to the car in front and overtake everything in the left and lane, then refuse to use the outside lane, so you find yourself overtaking them, then when you pull back across to the left and lane, they overtake you again, then hit traffic and slow down, then you re catch them up and re over take them etc etc etc.

 

Text talk like putting "frm" instead of "from"

People who put were instead of where

 

Everything annoys me, especially you set of cnuts.

 

People who watch shitty brother/**** factor just to have a good moan.

 

People who don't use their indicators when driving

People who take several minutes at a cash machine (what can you possibly be doing on that machine that takes so long?)

People who loudly slurp their tea/coffee etc...

People who put a whole trolley of shopping through a self-service checkout machine (this seems to happen every time I go in Tesco Express at Wilthorpe, the other machine is almost always not working and there's a queue at the till with everyone paying their household bills on the Paypoint machine).

Radio 1, and most aspects of the BBC for that matter.

People who walk four-abreast down a pavement and seem confused that they need to rearrange themselves for me to get past when walking in the opposite direction.

How parents seem to think it's OK to cause traffic chaos outside schools at the start and end of each school day. Hunningley Lane in particular is a right ball ache if you catch it at the wrong time.

People who make lists of things that annoy them.

 

People who litter our pavements and worst of all spit. I try not to let it bother me as when I've said something in the past to the school kids that litter near my home it's a waste of time and I end up wanting to throttle them if they get lippy. Also it annoys the hell out of me when the school kids drop rubbish into my recycling bins when they are waiting road side to be emptied. Not had my bins emptied on a few occasions because of this, the bin men left my full plastic and glass bin as some brat had put a half empty tray of chips and mushy peas which splattered everywhere. There are numerous other public bins in the area they could've used. When I rang the school to complain and told them in future I'd be dumping my rubbish on their grounds the head said as least they'd put it in a bin! There's a public bin 10 yards away for the school kids.

 

Women

 

Or people who moan about them and call them **** but you suspect they're secretly watching.

 

To a degree you have a valid point about a certain section of society using such illnesses to work,my favourites the ' bad back'.

 

Agree with all these apart from the BBC .

 

NER!

Why can't I put emoticons on

 

Those people (usually in pairs) who stand chatting in the middle of the path/pavement, then look at you gone out when you're trying to get past.


Young lads who don't appreciate history, and deem anything current as the best.


The fact that when I'm watching summat I like on TV r lass freely talks to me about all sorts of nonsense, yet whenever Eastenders or summat is on I'm told to shush.


R lass leaving the teabag on the spoon when the bin is a yard away.


Whoever it was that decided Stella Artois was now to be 4.8% alcohol. The **** did that start happening?


People who use social networks to tell you all about how amazing their upcoming holiday is going to be, but then seem to still be on social networks throughout their fcukin' 'amazing' holiday.


People who use the misfortune of others to get themselves attention.


Those flies that manage to squeeze their way into your house through the narrowest gap possible, yet then find it impossible to leave through a big fcukin' door.





I'll leave it there. I could be here all day otherwise and as strange as it seems, I do have a life of sorts.

People who let their toddlers walk down steps in busy places like shopping centres,

 

Parents with kids at the school in our village petitioned for a speed camera to be put in because they said the residents were speeding. They did a mobile speed check for a day and the only people they found speeding were parents with kids at the school driving them in / picking them up. Oh, and a local councillor.

Which brings me to one of mine: the ubiquitous use of the word "just". As in "I know I'm not supposed to park there but I'm just dropping little Hortensia off and we're running a bit late this morning as I had to explain to that policeman why I was driving my 4x4 at 50 through the narrow village lanes." Or more generally in exchanges of the form "Please don't do x", "But I'm just doing x".

 

The one I've seen a lot more of lately is, on a road with double yellows, people are parking entirely on the pavement so no wheels are actually on the road. Do they think they've found some magical loophole here? For me this is even worse as I've seen it at a busy junction which completely blocked visibility (probably the reason for double yellows) and I had to basically pull out on blind faith that nothing was coming. Daft thing is if the car had been parked normally on the road I would have been able to see a bit of the road behind the car.

Then there's the double yellows outside the shops at Lundwood which are just completely ignored.
