Hi David :-) I thought I had loads in common with you, well probably still do by the list BUT you excel on the amount of iritations, I don't think I am irritated by so much or could be. But definitely:- Two faced people Sycophants Hypocrites narrow -mindedness People making assumptions about anyone but especially me. People thinking they are better than anyone else definitely agree with you about Number 13, unless they are young children that is. Greediness insincerity injustice How about that that's nine less than David lol. Pat x

Having calmed down after my little contretemps with NatWest Business Banking (gggrrrrrr!), I'll list the remainder of my irritations (which, incidentally, are mostly either grammar or driving related!): People who say 'off of' instead of 'off' People who say 'for free' instead of 'free' People who say 'could of' instead of 'could have' And people who overuse the word 'basically'! Drivers using mobile phones whilst driving Drivers who pull out in front of you, forcing you to brake sharply Tailgaters Also very irritated by: Liars Cheats Backstabbers and people who are nasty just for the sheer hell of it. Have I caught up with David yet? Mandy :))

Paul behave, some of us just can't help it ;-) I find it irritating being one, but it isn't irritating watching other thread killers, I have to admit I actually enjoy it :-))) Pat x

dont you just love it when you are driving along at a steady 70 or so and coming up on a gaggle of geeks, and you will ALWAYS find that one will pull out and slowly keep pace with the crowd , going about 50..but in the outside lane............as has been said, forcing you to brake, dont they EVER use their mirrors? I was always taught that overtaking traffic has the right of way, and let them by, first..........Bob

People finishing my sentences for me. Dogs who yap at a bird flying by. Dogs who think my front gate is a toilet. My kids saying 'mam,mam' then completely ignoring me when i answer. People saying you're a big girl. My cat trying to bite my fingers when i type or move the mouse. My other half picking her toenails - yuck Think im quite easy going really :-)

A few more:) People taking advantage of my irritations (Daniel /Bec /BC /Strump) Insincerity & injustice (ta Pat:)) Bumping into ex partners and former friends when I look like s**t Barpersons asking if you'd like dark rum when you ask for rum - if you want bacardi you ask for it don't you? People dropping hints instead of saying what they mean Martyrs Thanks Paul - this is sooo cathartic:)

Gwynne, probably just a minor offence on its own, but don't try breaking several at once though, he may self-combust. ;)
