chocchick Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 There's mobile phones when you're travelling and someone's phone keeps going off again and again and again with a really embarrassing ring-tone as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 What reaally annoys me is if I'm with someone and they answer their mobile phone for a non-urgent call and then bang on about nothing for an age whilst I'm sat their feeling like a spare part.

motherhen Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I don't like inconsiderate people - it takes so little time and effort to be thoughtful and I can't understand why so few people are considerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Blue Sky Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I hate grammatical mistakes too. A notice went up at school from the PA about a fundraising event recently, and it said that "Parent's are welcome" and "Drink's are available". I mean, REALLY! At the school gate! Next time they do that I will go along with my bottle of Tippex and sort it out for them. And on the subject of "whatever..." - my daughter called me a der-brain! I nearly spat my teeth out I was so outraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I can't bear people who chew gum with their mouths open - yuk! My other big bugbear is people who can't walk around a shop without having to talk into a mobile phone all the time. Grrrr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Mrs Blue Sky, I can only commiserate. I hate spelling mistakes. I passed a sign in our local Travel Agency. 'Flights to Gernsey' This was a properly printed sign and it is not the only one I have seen. I have seen things such as 'tickits' on the same window. This is absolutely appalling and there is NO EXCUSE we ALL have spell checker PS I have a seven year old who can spell better than that and knows how to use spell checker if she is unsure. NO EXCUSES P PS i wil stand dowen of meye sowp bocks now hand go hand joyn dan for an ice glas of whine P P S The other thing I hate is people who say haitch instead of aitch.

Mrs Blue Sky Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Even worse than people talking into their mobiles is people talking into their Bluetooth earpiece - pacing about the place importantly talking away to themselves. And it's never about brain surgery or hedge funds you notice, only sandwich fillings or the school run I also REALLY hate men who energetically snort back phlegm making piggy noises instead of leaving the room to get a nice hanky. Some of them also GULP afterwards. That is so disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I can't spell and I'm no good with grammer either so I'm probably not too popular round here I have just recently finished reading Lynne Truss's, Eats Shoots and Leaves and found it hilarious The follow up book, Talk to the Hand isn't quite so good but still worth a read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Even worse than people talking into their mobiles is people talking into their Bluetooth earpiece - pacing about the place importantly talking away to themselves. And it's never about brain surgery or hedge funds you notice, only sandwich fillings or the school run Just to get some of those who are addicted to talking incessantly into their mobiles or bluetooth thinking. Individuals who have psychiatric problems and hear persistent voices are sometimes taught to manage those voices, and the need to reply to them, by talking into a mobile or earpiece. So, is that someone ultra important who can't be dragged or away from their phone conversation.... or someone with health problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially van / lorry drivers on the motorways and the "yummy mummies" in their clean 4x4s doing the school run.

Hellcat Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I hate.... Old people who think they ahve the sole rights to the aisle they are in at the supermarket, and then stop and chat with their friends who are coming up the opposite way, causing me to have to ask to pass, and then they glare at you with that 'b** off, i'm a pensioner' look. also, old people with disabled badges parking in the parent and toddler parking spaces in the car park. I can't park in their spaces, can I? in fact, any one with a disabled sticker who isnt really in need. My mother can't get one, and she can't even walk any more... getting to hospital in the middle of London is getting to be a real problem but she doesnt qualify because she doesnt have desability benefits, as end stage cancer is not considered a disability...oh really... Rant rant. Probably offended loads of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rant rant. Probably offended loads of you. I completely agree Helen - especially this last bit. I don't qualify for disabled parking either because I don't receive any benefits. I can walk fairly well now but still can't cope with steps, slopes etc. I can't get in or out of a car easily either and need extra space to open the door as wide as it will go. Twice I've had to ask complete strangers to move my car out of a space because someone has parked so close to me that i can't get in my own car. Until I applied, i didn't realise that receipt of any benefit entitles you to a disability badge. I sympathise with you Helen - having to park in central London now you've started me off............
