Oh - and teenage girls mainly - low slung trousers/skirts and short tops and huge bellies! Put it away girls it's not pretty!

And thongs - why do some of them insist on wearing thongs - all you usually see is the grubby grey (once white) bit of thong sticking out of the top of their jeans which are usually stretched over a massive bum! What's that about? Don't they have mirrors or friends?

People who shout - yes - that gets me too. Yesterday walking down the high street had some silly man shout to his wife - she was several yards away but I happened to be right next to him. Surprised I didn't have a burst ear drum!

Teenagers who don't see me - is it because I'm past a certain age that I become invisible to the young? Mind you, I have sharp elbows and they usually (usually girls) tend to have lots of midriff!!

I knew a few more would come to mind.

People with that stupid badger-look hair-colour style .
And those with that fake tan perma-tan thing going on.
People who self obsess.
Wannabe celebrities who are actually nobodies.
Loud mouthed bores and show-offs.

I think that just about covers everyone on TV these days!!!!


Oh, and Terry Wogan aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know they are rude but why do people ignore answers or acknowledgents, or even delete them??? Why?

Can I reply on behalf of all shop assistants.
It is horrible to be serving a person who is talking on their mobile phone, and I am waiting to ask them a question regarding their purchase.

Jill, people who dont reply or come back to their threads is one of my pet hates as well. Especially people whot dont reply when you say hello or offer advice to them.

I think some people are naturally rude and dont know how to say thankyou or be polite.

Another one of my pet hates is loudmouth, noisy people who just want to be noticed be everyone. They shout and sing, make strange noises or shout out peoples names in a silly way. They just want to be noticed and I dont like people who are like that.

People who eat with their mouths open (yeeugh!)

Those presenters on shows like The One Show - who talk to each other about their likes and dislikes and their funny little ways - I'm not interested in them at all - they're not celebrities - who cares? Get on with the show and give us a bit of info on places and events that are going on ...

People on this site who never come back to one of their threads when I (and others) have posted info on it. And then they start another thread with much the same question. What's the matter with these people? Why don't they study the boards first? Why don't they ask questions? grrrrrr!

Drivers who drive in my boot (I keep slowing down and then speeding up a bit and then slowing down again - usually works but it's a bore)

Drivers who don't indicate? I always assume they're on their mobiles.

Other people's music - from their car stereos, in shops, anywhere - it's always horrible and if it's especially horrible it's always too loud!!

I think I might have to make a definitive list ... could take a while though!

Books and mags you like to read, but that are film wrapped in shops so that you cant flick through it to see if it is good enough to buy.

Automatic voices on phones that say "The caller has not been recognised" when ytou know it is a valid number.

Steve Wright on radio 2, Ally McCoist and other presenters thinking that they are funny but are not.

Bus drivers who think they can talk to you like you are a piece of ****. I drive but when I occasionally get the bus, i find some drivers rude.

Sticky price labels on things you buy which are almost impossible to remove without damaging the items........really irritating if it's a present for someone.

Overwrapped goods in shops........why are so many things in tightly sealed wrappers which then need something like a carving knife to try and get into? Even tools like hammers are coming in sealed plastic these days so you can't pick a tool up and get the feel of it before you buy it.

I also think chewing gum manufacturers should be compelled to make it quickly bio-degradable.
