What REALLY annoys me is people who drop litter.

I live across the road from an open-all-hours shop, which is great except for the litter louts. They buy cans of drinks or packets of crisps etc, and by the time they reach my corner, they have consumed the contents, so what do they do :?: They throw them down in my front garden, or lob them over the fence into the back garden. Some even go to the trouble of wedging the empty cans neatly into the privet hedge. If they can make the effort to do this, why can't they make the effort to put things in the bin which is only a few yards away down the road :?: I have to go round every day picking up all the litter. Ugh :!: Revolting :!:

hu joan,

living where we do we sometimes get a windy spell and people littler tend to always come in our garden or either that they dump it in our garden too, so hubby picks it up and puts it back in someone elses garden usually the ones who resposible, for example we had a problem with a cat and doing something unplesent in our garden and it took a while before we found who's cat it was and where it lived and now if it does anything we simply give the owners it back in there garden, or if that dont work we give it a fright, dont seem to come round when we around

The general lack of manners nowadays. Oh that really gets my goat. Drivers who don't thank you when you give way although the onus was on them so to do, people who sail thro shop doors held open by me, on my crutches, and don't say a word - I always say 'thank you' for them, people who make others' lives a misery with loud music, dropping litter, drinking and shouting in public, moronic youngsters - Oscar Wilde was so right, youth is wasted on the young, the slack-jawed gum-chewing twerps who seem to be everywhere . . . . the list goes on. Hell is other people.

Now, my neighbours. Two teenaged daughters and one lumpen son, now in his early twenties, the offspring of two sisters who share the house: not a sound. If they are in the garden and I go to bed (our bedroom is at the back, one of the sisters is my hairdresser's assistant) no matter how early, they go indoors. No loud music, no shouting, the only offensive thing they do is have a Chinese on a regular basis and make my mouth water. Having said that, lumpen boy's mates are a bunch of . . . . .

My neighbour's on the other side: he and she are both quite young, late thirties I suppose. One son, aged 13 and quiet as a mouse. They have just begun acting as foster parents to another 13 year old lad, who could not be placed. He adores his older 'brother' and there is the occasional sound or two, but nothing after midnight. How lucky am I? Terraced living could be hell. There are some lovely people in this world and they should always be mentioned. DD

People who go out into the countryside to a beauty spot and then throw litter everwhere I mean why?,, people who let doors slam in your face when your right behind them or don't say thank you when you hold it open for them, que jumpers and lane dodgers on motorways, also rubber neckers on the same, also que jumpers when I'm in the pub which isn't often these days.
Oh and last but not least those strange people who pick up their dog poo in a poo bag and then for some strange reason leave it hanging in a tree or on a fence, again why!?.

If you want to beat the queue in a pub mellman, talk like Anne Robinson. People cannot bear the nasal, screechy quality to her voice, they want you out the way, you get served first. I learned this tip from a voice coach, and it works. DD

Groups of disaffected kids hanging around causing trouble and trying to excuse it by saying "there's nothing to do".

We are lucky enough to live in a generally nice area, with more amenities than you can shake a stick at.

One night last summer a group of about 14, very drunk teenagers, congregated in our normally fairly quiet road at about three in the morning (I just happened to be up and looking out of the window) and, for some unknown reason they decided to kick down our neighbour's garden wall. One or two started and the other joined in like a pack of kids possessed. It was horrific to watch. I called the police and, to their credit, they turned out fairly quickly. They contacted us again a couple of weeks later to say that they had found the culprits - and it seems that they had all spent the evening at the local school "prom" - (leaving do for 16 year olds!!!!!). What made me maddest though was that the police lady said "they're all nice kids really - it was just a bit of high-jinks". Mob mentality more like. And apparently their parents were "horrified" to find out what had happened. What I want to know is why parents of 16 year olds don't know where their children are at 3 in the morning!!!

There, feel better now!

I have thick curly hair, but it's not manageable. I would love to have straight up and down hair that does nothing but lie flat. I know the fashion for hair now is to make it BIG, but I have spent a good 30 years trying to calm mine down and refuse point blank to let the hairdresser give it any more volume! Talk about the grass always being greener...

I get away with queue jumping in pubs by not going to the bar and having all my drinks bought for me It's easy when you know how and helps if you wear a short skirt.


But things that annoy me is people who can't even say please or thank you and pass on this stupidity to their children. Our neighbours are particularly annoying at the moment, as are the so-called teachers of Punjabi at our temple. I've stopped taking our girls to Punjabi class because they never run the classes on time (EVER), keep the children late, give them far too much homework (I'm talking about a good 4 hours' worth here for an 8 year old) and have criticised my girls for having their hair cut (Sikhs aren't really supposed to cut their hair). I firmly believe religion is a matter of personal choice and refuse to be indoctrinated in this way or subject my kids to this. Then they wonder why people don't bring their kids to the classes.

And breathe!

Joan i am so with you on this one. They make such an effort to upend things such as for Sale signs and carry them down the road to chuck in someones garden but cant pick up an empty packet of crips or plastic bottle to carry home.

My OH annoys me never helping round the house. Sometimes he gets up really early in the morning(cos he hasnt been busy during the day like me and he is not tired) and does nothing! He leaves all the washing up etc to me and then says I ve been up since 6 o/c like Im supposed to feel sorry for him.
And i hate the way he stretches across the sofa,flat out feet over the end. He knows I hate it. Its like a smack in the face while i am hurrying around doing all the housework with achey joints!Grrrr!

Cold callers either at my front door or on the telephone. I've just made a sign for the front door telling them to Buzz Off! ...but nothing can help with 'random' dialling computers on the phone. I do wait for 8 rings before I answer if it is someone who knows me then they give me extra time to get to the phone.

Grrrrrrrrrr Legs :x

Luv Cris who has only just woken up from armchiring and must get busy :shock: xxx

cthornley

grrr continual incompetence by people who continually pronounce how much work they do and how important they are! yes I have one particular person in mind here sorry.
Unnecessary rudeness....how much effort does it take to say hi?
People who say they are coming to something and then don't turn up or apologise for not being able to make it.
lateness...my hubby & family drives me nuts with this
Friends and family who only bother to phone when they want something....
ok i'll stop now before I annoy myself

Hi Babycham,

you ve got me started now. I do the teabags in cups which he moans about but as he doesnt wash up whats the problem? The reason i leave teabags in cups is cos i havent time to wait for the tea to brew as life is one big rush.And yes he says hes doing something like gardening when hes chatting or staring into space etc. The worse one is when he say hes looking after the kids when hes actually on laptop or watching TV and hasnt even checked on them!The fact he is in the vicintity qualifies as looking after them. Its always me who has to sort out any problems that start even if hes in the next room!

Elizabeth .... my husband is the same and had the cheek to say on the return from our holiday, ' you know what i think i'm actually quite a hands on dad' !!! Thankfully for him I was in agony from being cramped on a plane otherwise i think i would have hit him
