Ah, the joys of being a mum! I have two sons, a 21yr old and a 24yr old, both living independently, the eldest married with a baby and a stepson, yet I still find myself worrying about them, and insisting they text me when they arrive home after visiting me so I know they got home safe! I love giving them random treats which I get told off about in a half hearted way() but I have a great relationship with them both and they ring and visit regularly. Having survived the angst of the teenage years, they have grown into men to be proud of, and I frequently bore people to tears talking about them constantly!

When women win something on the radio or on a phone in show on the telly and they scream! Men never do it, they just say "oh thanks" but women insist on getting hysterical.. I mean, I would say I'm quite a stoic person , but I may say some emotion/excitement if somebody phoned me and told me I had won Ł1 million pounds,but these screechy witches scream when they've just won tickets to a local flower show or a Ł20 voucher for Debenhams or whatever! Rant over

LOL,Rhino it does my head in,I usually have to turn the volumn down as they never know whan to stop and yes they are just as bad when they win something!!lol

Oh this drives me mad too.. PLus people who huff and puff and rant and rave about having to stand in a queue and then when it's their turn to be served, they aren't prepared at all... They get their handbags on the counter, half empty it looking for cards/money/whatever.. It drives me insane! Why not use the time spent in the queue wisely and have everything ready?!

Ooh yes that's really annoying.

What about:
people who stop suddenly in front of you on the pavement so you bump into them- and then you find yourself automatically saying "sorry" to them!.

people who let doors close in your face in shops etc

sales assistants who carry on having a conversation when you're waiting to be served

Car Hire companies.............ggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrr

Haha.. I have a really bad habit of saying sorry to people who bump into me! Strange isn't it?

The sales assistant thing is very annoying.. even more annoying is when they continue to chat WHILST actually serving you! I find that so bloody rude!

Or another thing.. when you say goodbye to a shop assistant and they don't say it back! WHat's wrong with these people for gods sake?!

Cold-calls should be top of everyone's list. Especially when you have an unlisted phone number and have registered with the Telephone Preferences body not to receive them (means someone else has sold them your phone number from a database)

When I'm on-the-ball, I tell the sales rep. I'm registered with telephone preferences so his company is breaking the law with the call, ask for his full name, designation, company address. They usually hang-up before me

Yeah, we did the same Ian.. It was so bad at one point that we just didn't answer the phone between 5pm and 9pm. Some of them are offensively pushy.. My OH eventually had to hang up on one woman as she would NOT take no for an answer.. The cheeky beggar kept phoning back! 3 times she phoned back until she was told to bugger off! We actually complained to the company involved.
We then registered with the telephone preference thingy and knew a big difference almost straight away.. But yeah, your right about how quickly they sod off once you mention it!

[Twilight]

People who turn up 10 minutes before the doors open at a gig and push right to the front, its unfair when you got there like 10 hours before they did :/

He soon bricked it when I pulled up next to him and got out of my car, not so cocky when hes not behind the wheel

Always lol get so many people like that, my brother followed someone 4 junctions down the motorway (out of his way) to his house because he beeped at my brother and swore at him a few times, my brother followed him beeping swearing and got out his car at the blokes house, and the bloke ran to his house lol.

I started on a bus driver the other day to (Add bus driver to the list, wankers) I was turning right on a junction the bus was turning left.. And they need to come out a lot further than cars.. so he pulled out and was literally half a foot from hitting my car before he put on his breaks, i pulled my car forward and undone my window started shouting at him, didnt let him move until i was done shouting lol.

This will maybe mean 0 the non-Scottish FMs..........remember Nambarrie Tea adverts?! "Your call is important to me, sorry to keep you waiting" then pee off and watch TV or make a cup of tea when cold-callers on the line waiting to tell you of quadruple glazing

If I'm not doing anything at the time when phone rings.........

It is quite funny, someone trying to sell you a new kitchen.......you just start off saying you're really intested, let them go on a bit, then start randomly swearing. I apologise that I suffer Toutettes...........let them go on some more , then say I need a pee and could they hold-on 'til I get back...........then just put the phone on the table off the hook for 30 mins

[Twilight]

When people moan about couples kissing or cuddling public. I don't see whats so bad about it :/
