What annoys you about plastic bags? I was just about to start off with dogs and plastic bags..
I have grown to hate (and slightly fear) all dogs! Every time I take the kids to the park or the beach (ok, the beach is a very occasional thing; look at my location!), dogs spoil it for us. Dog owners annoy me too..
I can't stand the noise of plastic bags..
And my last pet hate (for this post anyway. I have quite a few) is people who stand (usually women) in long queues and make a right spectacle of themselves; huffing and puffing and hopping from one foot to the other, tutting and looking at their watch, and then when it is their turn to be served, they get their handbag on the counter, pull everything out looking for their purse, then rake about looking for money or cards and then take ages putting everything back in!! Why can't they get everything ready whilst standing in the queue??
That's just a few of mine for just now :)

*catches sight of untidy cushions out of corner of eye* aaaaargh

I found this really funny - as it is so true! :joker:

the "their" "They're" "your" "you're" thing only annoys me when I do it myself
People who make horrible sounds when they eat drives me crazy
people who don't say thanks if I hold a door open for them
People who have to insult others to get their point across
Drivers who don't indicate before they turn

oh Niamh, you just reminded me of my main one.. Can't believe I didn't put this before anything else; People who eat with their mouth open and/or noisy eaters. It makes me feel like screaming at the best of times but noisy eaters + me with pmt = a possible jail sentence. :D

I remember serving a customer at work who was happily chomping on a sausage roll whilst talking to me... There was little flakes of pastry flying out of her mouth towards me.. Nearly gave me the boak!

-People who dont look where they are walking in town (especially around christmas).
-People who can't drive, it boggles the mind how some people got lisences.. (and with niamh on the indicating.. its not a hard thing to do!)
-When technology fails, its prupose built to do something and it messes up so bloody often.
-Dropping food off my plate by mistake, once its left my plate i cant eat it lol.
-People that dont wash their hands.

Niamh. 01-06-2010 09:47 AM

When I miss a call on my phone and it's a private number, it drives me crazy for ages wondering who it was

setanta 01-06-2010 09:47 AM

This one drives me insane - the self service tills at the shops and individuals who wheel up a trolley full of groceries and proceed to hold up the whole queue when it would have been faster for them to go to a cashier. I honestly will never understand why they do that. So many people with more than 10 items use the bloody things and it's ridiculous.

pinkmichk 01-06-2010 10:19 AM

agree on the people not indicating and also those who blantantly ignore the zebra crossings in town
teeth grinders ugh such a horrid sound
people who dont pick up their dogs mess
people who walk really slow in the middle of the path
people who stand having a conversation in the middle of the aisle in tesco
when i get woken up before the alarm by stupid texts/calls
private numbers

Stu 01-06-2010 10:39 AM

Car horns. God I hate them. It's not going to speed the traffic up, it's just going to piss everyone in audible range off. I always feel good walking casually and without stress along a road where grown men are being reduced to tears inside their machines.

InOne 01-06-2010 11:01 AM

People who don't say thank you when you hold the door open for them.

Kerry 01-06-2010 11:38 AM

Ignorance
Wasps

WOMBAI 01-06-2010 11:42 AM

People that slow me down - when I'm in a hurry!
Rude, ignorant, aggressive people!
People who rate themselves too highly!
Bad habits - picking things!
Loud, noisy people!
Queing!

ButterflyGirl 01-06-2010 11:47 AM

When a big line of people take up the whole pavement and don't move out the way till the last second. Learn some manners!

Kerry 01-06-2010 11:48 AM

Queues

Oh god yes. Those kind of people deserve to be shot in the back with a high calibre rifle.

God yes, I get that almost every day! Or equally annoying is people who let a door close in your face. It used to amaze me how many people wouldn't hold a door open for me when I was out with the pram.. or the amount of people who would see you struggling with a door and a pram and not offer to help.
I offer help to anybody I think needs it! It's nice to be nice...

Kerry 01-06-2010 12:04 PM

People revving engines/boyracers

Stacey. 01-06-2010 12:31 PM

When you actually go out of your way to do something for someone, and you don't even get a 'thankyou'.

Jordan. 01-06-2010 12:35 PM

- Messy work space
- When you have an itch that you cant reach
- Been woken up early
- When your cup of tea turns cold :(
