I hate the person who simply pushes infront of you at the supermarket because they only have one or two items - if they ask I do not have a problem, but when they slyly push infront , dont look at you and the check out lass just starts on their goods thats bugs me. So I have made a point in all the places I shop of pointing to my pile on the conveyor belt and saying I hope you will put it back for me as I have an urgent appointment elsewhere... see yer. Then i walk out

Hi Christine (hope your ok now) Don't start me on cyclists, I am terrified of them, they have never read a highway code so have no idea of how to behave on the roads. My pet hate, children who whizz out the school gate and cross two lines of heavy traffic as though they are invicible and the two rows of traffic are invisible!

PP right on,' why don't some leave the kids at home when they go shopping. What about the ones who take their little ones to stores and leave them to run wild in the toy department while mum and dad do some shopping, kids play with all the toys, take them out of package, break things, throw balls up and down the aisles. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkk Leave them at home if you can't watch them. Would never let mine wander around a store unattended.

Hello Em and a ~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone else. My BIG moan is about my husband, bless him.....who keeps me awake night after night with his snoring and restless leg. That's why I'm on here writing this instead of being tucked up sleeping soundly in my bed. Hello Christine, your up late or should I say early. :-)))) Jan

Like this thread. I hate drivers who don't position themselves correctly to turn right at a junction, meaning the people who want to turn left or go straight on can't get by, and then the b. lights change and the chance is missed. I have on occasion pulled alongside an idiot after following for some time with him not indicating at any junction, and suggested he take his bright shiny new car back as 'they seem to have forgotten to fit your indicators' Another big pet hate is people (many of them indulgent grannies too) who allow their toddlers and small children to stand up in shopping trolleys so that their shoes having trodden the pavements and all the gunk thereon, then transfer it germs and all, to the receptacle we put out shopping. We then take our shopping home and put it away, with the added bonus of the brat's dirty shoe gunk on.

taxi drivers who 'own' the road, pull out when they like, stop when they like and never indicate because THEY KNOW where they are going so WHY DON'T YOU? :)

right about the indicator lights never being used but what about the twits that signal for miles before deciding to make the turn. Once was driving in curb lane, guy in centre lane had right signal on so I kept slowing down thinking he wanted in my lane. Now picture middle of winter, storming and him driving for about 10 blocks with the right signal on. All of sudden he makes sharp right turn into his drive, course I hit the brakes slide into him broadside. Silly twit then jumps out of his car and starts yelling 'I had my signal on for the past ten blockes didn't you see I wanted to make a right turn'. So I called my insurance to come on site (happens to be my sister) and she calls the police who end up charging him with careless driving. Now who is the silly twit. Him again. lol
