I can't believe this thread's still going!! LOL We sure have lots to grumble about don't we? YES WE DO!! Mau x ;0)

Teresa You must have got one of the nicer ones. I know that some a pleasant, but on the whole they are so miserable. Everytime I get off the bus I always say thankyou and very few ever relpy I might get the odd grunt. lol Lindax

Teresa I reckon they must be the same bus drivers that we have in Gt. Yarmouth. lol Lindax

know what you mean Gwen, I usually try to beat him to the door to hold it for him so this doesn't happen but he has his pride. Oh yea, men and their pride, get over it guys this is the year 2006, don't be such a guy and show some emotion sometimes. lol

Deb even worse,when you cant hold the door open to get through in the first place,

and what about those who have no regard for the disabled. OH walks using a cane, being the gentleman that he is he always tries to hold the door open for me to walk through when going into store, mall etc. I'm left standing off to the side waiting for him as others rush past leaving him holding the door open for them. Sometimes as many as 10 peeps will rush past him thinking he's holding the door open for them, all this without even a thank you. He's not a bl**dy doorman you know.

How about....I've been at work since 7am, come home, both sons are home.I ask if the dog has been out, no says youngest, whose dog it is. I flounce out with dog, come back to be told...I dont like the Smif (the dog), he keeps trashing my room! How long has the dog been ordering pizzas, drinking bottles of coke and wearing various items of clothing all strewn around said rooms floor? Think they work harder than me!! Hello!! I still have a dinner to cook and cleaning.....Aaargh!!

my pet hate at the mo is those invalid carriages. we live in a sea side town so there are plenty of them. why are pedestrians invisible to them? So many of us have crushed feet. The best one I saw yesterday was a blind guy in one. He was gaily motoring along the pavement tap, tap, tapping with his white stick. It didn't bode well for small tots and doggies!

People who push in at bus stops. Inconsiderate motorists who park on the pavement blocking the way.

Clients who ring and when told the boss is on the phone ask 'how long will he be?' ?????????????? How the b******s would I know? 2 minutes and 37 seconds sir would you like to hold? Julie xxx

roflmao Rose(telegraph pole) :)))))) so true!! don't you just hate it....??? It's sheer bad manners!!

And another thing! Me and OH walking down the street side by side. Single pedestrian comes towards us so we go into single file to allow them to pass on pavement. Me walking along alone. Come towards couple waliking side by side. Do they do likewise? Do they *&^%$*&! They seem to expect me to step into the gutter, but NO! I just stand there, make like a telegraph pole then they gotta walk around. I'll be burgered if I'm stepping into the gutter or a busy road when the pavement is there.... grumble grump grump... manners again! ah, better now :-}}

And why do they have to have abut 20 pairs of identical jeans- all with huge rips in the knees!!! And they'll pay over £30 for them!! I'll rip them for less Kath (mum to 2 teenage girls)

Glad to hear you are feeling better today Christine :) I watched a program about the time of life, for most women it only lasts for 10yrs but it can be longer... aaaargh! (umm.......can someone pass the rat poison, I don't think I could become any 'rattier' than I am now!!) What is it with this restless leg syndrome? Is it only men that suffer with it? Just as I start to drop off DH decides to start the one legged jig! O for seperate beds... :) (bless him)

I hate it when preganant women walk around showing a bare abdomen,,,,I mean,,,how disusting is that,,,yuck,,,

Morning Christine glad your ok. Know what you mean about time of life as I'm about six years into mine. I used to flush for England. That's another thing...I know there's supposed to be a male menopause but I'm sure they dont suffer as some of us women do. As for the snoring I've tried everything bar putting a pillow over his face, me think's that may be next though. :-)))) Jan

oh Yes!! HOW many times can a man watch Star wars???? ( daughter has now hidden the box set of star wars DVD's)

My OH is watching a film that he has seen a million times before he knows the script better than the actors mind you I have to admit to watching Pretty Woman about 10 times at least sue c x

Non-Brits who take the mick about us queueing. It's only good manners for Pete's sake! First at the bus stop = first on the bus. First at the meat counter = first to get served. First at the veg stall on the market = first to get served. Wait your b**** turn!!! Good manners cost nowt! :-D
