That irritates me a lot

I get really irritated at little things like that actually.... And definitely people who follow you too closely in a car.... To the point where I can't even see their number plates! Ridiculous.

Also if I'm following someone and they're driving soo slowly like 25 in a 40, obviously lost, and they feel it necessary to not indicate when they need to tunr off, slam on the brakes all at once and then maybe they'll swerve round the corner if it's the right turning. And it's be my fault if I rear-ended them

Deep Breath..........

Drivers who put fog lights on when they don't need to (and leave them on).

Drivers who hog the middle lane in rush hour.

Supermakets who insist their staff say "would you like a club card?" - no (thank you) if I did I'd ask for one.

Supermakets who insist their staff say "would you like some help?" when I'm a 6'1" able bodied man buying a 4 pack and nothing else - yes please, what's 4017.65 x 23.72? - it's been bugging me all day! Poor checkout staff.

Incidently I believe there should be one checkout labelled, "Men Only, Cash Only, No Trolleys, No Kids, 10 items or less and Strictly No chitchat!" in all supermarkets.

The new BBC weather format.

People who spell difinitely "definately" - think definitive.

Windows auto update rebooting my PC when I don't want it to.

Channel icons on telly obscuring the picture.

Unloading the dish washer - I would have 2 - when one was clean I would take a cup out of it, use it, then put the cup into the other empty washer.

That's better I think I'll have a nice cup of tea and a sit down now.

P.S. I learnt to pack bags after watching mummy when I was little so I never have squashed bread. yipee!

Tell you was really gets my goat. Numpty drivers like the 4x4 brigade all in the fast lane doing no faster than 60-65 mph and constantly staying in the lane all the way through their Journey.

Next - The gimps who undetake due to the idiots above.

3 - The old people on the Motorway doing 40-45 mph holding up traffic.

4 - Speed Limited trucks trying to take over other Speed limited trucks. Listen you gimps, your both limited to 60 so theres no point blocking 2 lanes with your trucks while you race/try to overtake. Mostly occurs on the A1 when its a dual carriage way thus causing traffic to tailback - Sainsburys lorries seem to do this more than others....

5 - Numpties that don't indicate when moving lanes etc - Oi get a brain, indicators are not for your benefit, they are a way of "signalling" your intentions to other drivers. Sorry 2 fingers and 'effing a lot doesn't count as signalling. usually applies to White Van Man and the fraggles who are on their mobiles while driving.

illegal immegrants that come to this country, spounge off the welfare state then commit the most heinous of crimes... how often have I seen on the news (though I admit there's lots of other stuff going on) a certain criminal 'muhamed muhamed' who came to britain 3years ago now charged for hit and run/assault/rape/murder...and then DOESN'T get kicked out of the country!!! wtf? I'm gonna round me up a posse and stand at the dover sea port...


oh and this govenrment putting up loads of cameras everywhere, why? its cheaper and more effective to have police patrols.

and wtf about not being allowed to take photographs in almost every london open space? paranoid about terrorists (ok Ill give them that) and paedo's...well, I'm neither and what if I want to take a picture in trafalgar square of some pigeons? I get my camera confiscated!! nuts!

That reminds me actually, the other day when me and my dad were driving somewhere, there was an emit with their headlights on full, in the blazing sunlight. ARr grhgrhgr!!!

[bujinkan-ka]

On the subject of excessive light, I hate it when the sun comes out just after it's been raining. The light rays bouncing off the wet ground BURNS MY EYES.

I also hate it when I find two parking spaces occupied by one car. I find that it's mostly drivers of BMWs that commit such a heinous crime.

Count me in your posse gets on my wick 'an all illegal immigrants

[Dougal]

You guys would not like to live down here then, apparently we have one of the highest concentrations of illegal immigrant populations in the UK.

Its kinda scary when you go for a kebab alone and there's a group of liek 15 people talking a language you don't understand and looking at you like you're a bug.

[0iD]

Illegal immigrants & thieving scumbag Pikeys! grrr!

[Elmo]

strong, common, neddy glaswegian accents. i was born and brought up in glasgow, i've lived here 19 out of 21 years and i've managed to not pick it up. Yes my accent is scottish but it's by no means broad glaswegian. The sound just irritates and grates on me. The long drawn out nasal vowels. ARGH!

you want illegal immegrants, HAH! they all live across the road from me! 400 of the god damn things! they get into the country, sponge off the state, get given fully furnished flats, then proceed to SELL their furnature (including freezers and televisions) to buy... wait for it... A CAR! yes folks, they get free bus and train passes, yet still feel the need to have a car, for which they have no liscence for. BUT NOT ONLY THAT! They THEN go on to have babies.... lots of them... and of course, once one baby is born here, they can't be deported. Yet they cant work either, so, these illegal immigrants are getting more benefits off the state (including free college classes to learn english) than the poorest single parent family of 6*!

It gets to me! GRRRRRRRRR!





*may be a slight exaggeration...

yes, i argued with a landy.

Technically though, if it's a Green Road, the cars have just as much right of way as you. Over here we have a "Public Rights of Way" map, with all the roads (ie where you're allowed to drive a car if you can get it up there) in orange - and all the footpaths and bridleways in white. Got one in my Landy - and I have used it a few times to silence ignorant fools, indignant that I should be driving along a clearly marked and legal road. Even if it is 4 foot deep in mud.

painted nails, be it toe or finger

painted nails, be it toe or finger

why? Even a french manicure?

I think some colours are ghastly on nails, and i think chipped nail varnish should be a punnishible offence, but nails that just have a french manicure look fab and classy and a lot neater than some people's nails are normally!

I have my toenails french manicured they look a million times better than without! I hate my feet, but something that makes them noticibly tidier cant possibly be a bad thing surely?
