Chucky Mama Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) In My Name Is Earl, Earl has a list of people he has wronged and it committed to righting these wrongs, assisted by his big dumb brother Randy....Now, I am compiling a list of things that really annoy me that need to be stopped. I am assisted by Ellie my dappy daughter. So...My Name is Rach starts here. Please feel free to add to my list! The List So Far (things that need to stop) Children that are old enough to walk being pushed around in pushchairs - (I have seen parents pushing their school age children to school in puschairs!! ) People using the word generally instead of genuinely People driving straight over mini roundabouts (OH made me put this one in but is actually doesn't bother me ) Texting whilst driving Shopping trollies that don't steer Volume going up during TV adverts Being offered store cards when shopping and then assitants being rude to you when you decline People that say pacific instead of specific Parent who let little children scream all the way through the school play or church service Plastic on cucumbers TV newsreaders that say hyperthermia instead of HYPOTHERMIA (hyperthermia =hot, hypo=cold) during reports of things like sea rescues ..........

hillfamily Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 people who don't say thank you when you open a door for them, step aside to let them through or when you're in the car and let an oncoming car come through cold callers at the door or on the phone who take offence when you aren't interested in what they are selling.....I didn't invite them to call......so don't call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 People who say "Should of" instead of "Should HAVE". People who use "Absolutely" as a solo word at every opportunity. That's my start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 People who say 'basically' before they tell a fib or admit they don't know the answer to what you are asking I drive straight over mini roundabouts I count myself as told and will cease immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Arrogant drivers in general, especially those who just have to overtake when it isn't safe to do so even although there are about another 20 cars in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Folks who use their mobile whilst driving - i just keep my hand on the horn until i get their attention! People who push their babies around the shops in car seats - they were designed for the CAR!! (I wouldnt want their childs back problems in years to come!) Weeds. I hate weeding so weeds just need to stop growing in my garden - NOW! That will do for now, im sure i'll be back later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 All the above (except mini roundabouts - I don't go straight over but don't go round properly ) People who overtake on the inside People who park lazily in carparks, squint or over the lines Programmes on TV which tell you what happened before the break (I KNOW, I WAS WATCHING IT ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I hate............................... Sales assistants who hold a conversation with another sales assistant while serving you. People in cars who don't indicate, or who don't acknowledge you when you let them out or past. Those idiot drivers who just STOP to let someone out of a side road - its really dangerous & stupid. People who chat in the cinema or mums who let their children run up & down the aisles People who sneer at the choices I make.If I want to read a certain paper I will, & nothing you say will make me change my mind. People who assume that because I am fat,I am lazy,greedy & goodfornothing. People who assume that beacause my husband is a builder & very 'handy' that he will fix their houses/cars in his spare time,for no charge. People using mobile phones when driving. Cold callers. Foreign call centres Bigots, racists,sexist & homophobes. S"Ooops, word censored!"s.Sadly I live in probably the s"Ooops, word censored!"biest town in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
