Unfounded Irritations.

Robert Peston. He does (as current lingo would have it) my head in.

Drying myself after a shower.

Greenfly.

Dogs barking incessantly (and at probably nothing) at unsocial hours (and even the social ones, come to that).

People who don't know what the flashing orange lights on the front and side of their car are for. YOU know where you are going, I bloody don't. Would it kill you to tell me? No, but it might kill me that you haven't and I make the wrong choice of maneouvre. Oh I see, that would be my fault. Clever.

Dust.

Idiots in supermarkets, sometimes the customers, sometimes the staff.

Me being an idiot in a supermarket (and elsewhere, for that matter).

What gets on your wick? (Apart from me, obviously.) DD

Bomb-proof packaging – especially that protecting bomb-proof contents.

Recorded message phone calls.

The M62

The tiny sticky labels on individual apples.

Synchronised swimming or, as someone once called it, formation drowning.

not seen greenflies for years! arent they extinct?!!

Ankyspond · 21. Sep 2011, 17:12

Oooohhh DD you do know how to get me started on a rant:

Rude people
My brother in law who left my sister with two children recently
Show offs
People without compassion
Politicians
Idiots in shops (or anywhere for that matter)
Toilet brushes
Stupid drivers
Me when I get on my own nerves

Too many others to mention. Xxxx

The way they do a recap after each commercial break on some TV programmes. Why? Have we got such short memories that we can't remember what we saw only a few minutes previously?

Eamonn Holmes ( Ugh!! )......and his smug wife :roll:

Ant and Dec ( highly irritating :roll: )

Litter louts

The man across the road who constantly blocks my drive with his car, despite having a drive and plenty of room on the road.

Doctors who speak in a condescending manner.

Doctors' receptionists who think they are gods.

Snobbish or pompous people ( can't bear them :!: )

The woman in the shop across the road who keeps talking on her mobile phone while she serves customers ( and in a foreign language too, so she could be saying rude things about everyone and we wouldn't know :shock: )

Ironing

Junk mail

Services charges of our block of 68 flats is 25k a year, ad we got council care takers that cannot recognise dirt when it is in front of them. 4 of council people call after complaining about it, and pointed out the dirt to them . which was actually in front of them and they could not recognise it. Did my time and effort make a difference ‘NO’ dirt still there and more of it, supervisor could not care less.....

Lifts not 10 years old very dirty and care taker cannot see the dirt or does not want to clean it. He cannot understand me as he speaks a different language. Must be the best job in the council as no one checks what has or has not been done. :?: :?: :?:

tjt6768 · 22. Sep 2011, 04:10

The vast majority of the afore mentioned. Especially Mr scum supporting homes and his horrible home wrecking wife...
They take smug to a whole new level..

Uneven towels on a towel rail, yes, just like sleeping with the enemy!
Dirty chrome, especially taps..
Students
Cyclists
Faux anarchists who live on scaffold structures that don't know how to wash.
The idiot tax dodgers that build scaffolds structures for the leftie loons to live on
Facial piercings..
Ignorance
Litter

Many many things.....

suzygirl · 22. Sep 2011, 06:14

Just the thread for me today!!!

The way the volume goes up during commercials

People who park in disabled spaces when they are not disabled, just lazy

My constant yo yo weight which results in a wardrobe full of clothes too big or too small :???:

Constant drilling and banging from next door

My slow body :oops:

angie1973 · 22. Sep 2011, 06:33

Wonderful idea! Here I go!!!!!

Politicians, politicians, politicians,

People who walk around on their phones constantly in a dazed state as they can't leave them behind, even for ten minutes.

Idiots in supermarkets (I'm with you DD). Those who also leave their trolley's abandoned in the car park.

People who don't indicate (also with you DD). They drive me nuts, so much so I don't give way to people who don't. Drivers generally with bad driving manners, no need for it. You are in a killing machine, use your brain.

High shelves that discriminate against the vertically challenged (i.e. me)

Snobs

That size 10 black dress that refuses to fit me - darn thing!

Adverts on the telly

Doctors who just think you need to 'get over it' and you really aren't in any pain.

Mustard - and whoever discovered it.

My next door neighbour who thinks she owns the road.

People who spit on the pavement

Lousy dog owners who allow their dogs to poop and not scoop. Not the dogs fault, bad owners!

Ohhh I could go on, but won't!

julie47 · 22. Sep 2011, 07:34

I agree with all whats been said plus

Dustbin men who can not be bothered to put the bin back in the place we left it. Outside our house. In stead they wheel it to the wagon and then after emptying it let it roll to where ever it wants to stop.

All so the recycling dust men who wont pick up the plastic bottle they have dropped while emptying your bin.

People who just blatently let litter fall to the floor

3 for two offers making you buy more

Cats that roam the streets and use my garden as their toilet.

Unreliable people

Standing in a queue when more tills could be opened.

Waiting

Untidyness

I think I should stop now dont you

Great one DD,

People who don't ring you back when they say they are going too.

People who have the inability to say thank you when you hold the door for them..Manners costs nothing..

Weeds coming back in my garden no matter how much weed killer i put down.

People tapping by me.

When OH or kids are talking to me while i am on the phone talking to someone ..

Dirty taps..i like them too shine..

Messy towels, they need to be folded and placed properly.. lol

Bullys

Someone who talks to her mate/co worker while serving people

When they ask you if you want a bag for your shopping.." er no i'm gonna carry it on my head!!! cause i want a bag"

Getting to the phone and it stops ringing

Getting to the phone and it's an automated message or someone selling something

Car alarms going off on the road and the owner is nowhere to be seen to turn it off

Litter bugs

people who don't pick up there dogs mess

I could go on

tjt6768 · 22. Sep 2011, 08:16

One in a million :???: Surely there are more psychos than that

I also hate to see toilet rolls.with a partial sheet dangling down... :x
I've got to tear it off if I'm using it or not... Lol

Picture/photo frames that aren't straight.

People who have labels sticking out... Obviously it's the label that annoys me not the person but I've been very very tempted to tuck in the odd label in my time...

Sorry Joan have to correct you,uneven towels also irritates me so Tony is now a man in 500,000!................ : smile:
(on the subject of towels what does irritate me is when someone puts a paper towel roll on the holder so it unwinds clockwise,it has to unwind anticlockwise!! (how sad can you get)).

tjt6768 · 22. Sep 2011, 13:17

not quite as sad as the same thing, but with loo rolls :shock: I've got to have mine on the holder so that it is flush with the wall. People know if I've been to their loo cos I turn the roll around and straighten their towels up.. Lol

The loo roll must have the dangling bit at the back. Oddly enough it has been proved you use less loo roll that way than if it is to the front.

Another unfounded irritation concerning loo rolls: Mr DD does change the roll to a fresh one when needed (hoorah!) but does not 'start' it before putting it on the holder. (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!)

Aaaaaargh *claps hands over eyes and ears*

I can spend ages unpicking the blooming thing, oh and when the roll layers flip so you have unequal perforations and no-one else can work out the way to equalise it again....

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.... again!

Sorry you guys. I was a 'dangly bit at the back' person for all my formative years. Mr SW prefers his dangly bits at the front and, since my hands went really cr*ppy, I've come to appreciate this. It is much easier to grasp front dangles than back.

*no words* :shock: :eek: :???: :shock: :?:

tjt6768 · 22. Sep 2011, 14:10

have we stopped talking about loo rolls now with all these front danglies :shock:
Lol
All the companies would have you believe that front danglies ate the way, but they are wrong. It's much neater at the rear :eek:

And the roll MUST be started, can't just stick it on there all wrapped up like a cardboard pig in a tissue blanket... What kind of fiend are you wed to DD.. That's evil.
:shock:
savage... :roll:

Stu69 · 22. Sep 2011, 14:16

My good lady squeezes the roll so we use less 'cos it won't spin. That, to me anyhow, is plain wrong. I like a bit of the old symmetry, me.

Talking of front danglies - you remind me, my Bratwurst is nearly cooked. :shock:

tjt6768 · 22. Sep 2011, 14:23

squeezing a loo roll is just plain wrong! This wummun of yours has anger issues. I believe this to be a power play my friend. This kind of destructive vandalism needs to be nipped in the bud :shock:
Whatever next, will she be using the tv remote :eek: :eek:

tjt6768 · 22. Sep 2011, 14:33

very annoyed at the fact that I've got great 3g signal at this end of the caravan but when in the bedroom the signal is crap. Lol
