    Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    Just wondering what some of the things are that really wind you up.

    My main one is probaly people being late as in my line of work i hate people turning up late as it can mess up as whole day.

    My other one is when people drop litter. It winds me up so much.
    When you either take it home with you or put it in the bin. I hate t when people drop it when theres a bin not 10m away.

    - People who aren't punctual.
    - Loud chewing.
    - People who disagree with me, but I'd put that more down to being a bit stubborn.

    I'm sure there are plenty more, but if I start adding I don't think I'd stop!

    This.

    People that skip queues (especially at bus stops) also people cycling on the pavement, and really poor spelling/grammar.

    Oh and poor customer service.

    Re: Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    People who use the word brought when they mean bought, especially those that actually say it and not just those on forums or through typo's.

    Muppets who can't read road markings and end up cutting you up on round abouts.

    People who cancel last minute after you left for the meeting place or venue or those that just don't show.

    Sales people who just don't get the message when you tell them no.

    Loads more but its annoying me thinking about it

    Being put in a situation where I expect people to do one thing, and they go and do something completely different!

    (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/)
    (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=)
    (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(")

    Re: Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    Oh, one more from me, something that happened on my way home from work tonight.

    - People who overtake trucks approaching crossroads, especially when I'm coming out of a road at said crossroads and am then forced to dive up the road directly across from the one I was coming from (I was turning right) so that they don't plough into me at $silly mph.

    Predictably, I don't think I was at fault, there was plenty of a gap for me to get out in front of the truck, but this chap overtook in a rather fast car - he was travelling at quite a rate of knots when he went past me!

    Re: Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    People driving towards you at 20mph+ in narrow roads, even after you've slowed down to a crawling 2/3mph so that you can both crept past each other to avoid touching!

    Waiting at a crossroad for x number of minutes waiting for a clear opening then a horde of people crossing the road in front of you, even though there's a traffic light 5m away, or they copuld easily walk behind the car and pass there!
    Woohoo now Assistant Manager!

    There's a lot more to 'saving the planet' than cycling up a busy road in winter with crap flashing lights, no hi viz clothes and no road sense.

    Re: Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    Got a few!
    People that have the television up so loud that it hurts, movies.. fair enough but I'm pretty sure I now have Strictly Come Dancing burnt into my eardrums.
    People that don't close their mouths when they eat and make odd noises!
    People that can't sit still!
    People that continue to ask questions about a movie you're both watching for the first time!
    People that don't show up or are overly late!

    Aah, my list could go on and on..
    Sure sign that I'm getting old ):
