And another thing that gets my goat up is tight arsed people. Some people are just so mean, like to save threepence they will walk a mile through a snow storm and over hot coals. Ok if you have a geniune case, but these people squeek when they walk..

Health visitors & Do-Gooders in general. Im not quite in the 'grumpy old woman' bracket just yet at only a mere 38 but by child number 3 i know what i am doing. even in hospital after given birth some helpful (?) young lady (looked like she was still at school) came and showed me how to bathe, change and generally look after my baby. she was most put out when i said in that 'ive just had a baby voice and dont need this c**p' way that this was child number 3 and if i didnt know what i was doing by now then i should be locked up. also while im at it 'earth mothers' - yes i now all the benefits of breast feeding and 'real' nappies but i honestly dont have the time to have their message rammed firmly down my throat every time i bottle feed my youngest or change his cute little behind with a brand of disposable nappies. thanks for this thread. lets keep it nudged up near the top as im sure i ll need to rant again shortly lol

.......and another thing lol A few months ago I was at the doctors having my 3 yearly smear test. The young ( well she was in her thirties lol ) nurse examined me and said afterwards ' is anything bothering you at all'? I said, 'no not really, except I cannot seem to lose weight like I used to.'Then I said how I eat very healthily,drink loads of water and go to lots of exercise classes.(feeling quite pleased with myself! ) She stroked my arm put her arrn around my shoulder and said ' Ahhh Bless!' I felt about a hundred!! LOL She was lovely though and was just being nice I suppose lol Mau xx;0) ..........word to self.....do not patronise older folk!

OAP's that hang around in gangs in the middle of the supermarket isle so that you cant get passed then they tut at you if you dare ask them to move. I get scared now after watching 'hells grannies' on Monty Python sue c x p.s. Nothing against our lovely Senior Cits. Love them all honest. ( Cowers in corner waiting to get attacked with a brolly)

Peter, 'rude and aggressive' translates as 'forthright and assertive' if you're a male manager!! :-)

Men who, just because I'm a woman working for a vehicle recovery company, think I know nothing about cars and ask to speak to the owner! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! MCPs - I loathe them! 'Sorry sir, the owner isn't in the office at the moment, may I take your number and get him to ring you when he comes in?' (in my sweetest feminine voice). 'You are, of course, aware that the storage on your vehicle is charged by the day or part thereof, so it is in your interests to get it moved as soon as possible'. It's amazing how their tone changes as they splutter 'Well maybe you can help me then'. I love my job when that happens! rofl Sue xx

Oh, Supermarkets...that gormless girl who intones brightly 'wouldyoulikeanyhelpwithyourpackingmadam' makes me want to fetch her one, no, no, no, I dont want any help, do I look totally decrepit? Just get the b****y stuff through the scanner and let me get home. Old, disgusting men who think I will be grateful for their advances because I have passed the 35 mark. Jess - shoes. Try Lotus shoes, nice and wide, pretty styles, although even they have got those ghastly turned up fronts this year like a rocking horse bottom. OC

You should never had given me this platform : 1. Mobile phone users who stand at checkouts jawing on their phones and trying to pack their bags at the same time.... resulting in long queues. 2. Mobile phone users who chat on their phones discussing their most private business in loud voices. 3. Oh to heck with it MOBILE PHONES 4. People who put their feet up on the seats on public transport.

People who are older than me by at least twenty years saying 'Ah, well, when you get to our age...' Television presenters who grin widely all the time, even when they are telling you that 10,000 people have just perished in an earthquake. And, come to think of it, anyone on the telly who has a broad regional accent - there is one female presenter I would like to KILL SLOWLY with her strangulated, faux posh Northern accent. OC

I agree with most of the 'thong showing/ low slung jeans' threads. I hate anything pierced other than ears. I can't stand seeing babies and small children with pierced ears either, I think they should decide for themselves whether they'd have them at a later age. When I was young ( I'm still only 41) people used to laugh at people wth speech impediments ( wrongly), don't people with pierced tongues not know that they sound awful? I can't stand tattoos, I'm sorry but I still think of circus freak shows when I see them. I hate to think of all of the old ladies in hospital with wrinkly tattoos on show in the future. Hairdressers who cut hair so that it looks like a five year old chopped it off annoy me too. I guess my country upbringing coloured my views! Louise
