This is where I find online shopping a blessing - I can do my shopping in peace in my own home with no screaming/crying in the background.

Annoying little s***s who think it's funny to shine a laser pen in your eyes as you're walking down the street.

The position of cooking instructions in food packaging.

When I was looking through meat packages earlier, trying to decide which to cook. I wanted a quick meal, but all have cooking instructions beneath the main labels. The only way to read the instructions is open the wrapping. I had to look up online for the cooking time of each meat. Argh.

I remember a few years ago I was sitting watching the tv in my livingroom. All of a sudden there was a little red light shining in my eyes then it went off, this went on for about half an hour. I turned out it was the kids across the road shinning a laser pen into my front room. When they noticed id rumbled them they stopped. Wee sh****!!

When I put my food and drink in the fridge and people steal them. It's got to the point where I have to put labels on my food/drink - sad.

Also when moving out the other house I was told to clean upstairs and the other 2 flatmates would clean downstairs. They cleaned some of it but didn't clean the oven Probably won't get my deposit back now cus of that.

Why can't she just leave it for a few seconds so she can take my money so I can go instead of making everyone stand there like bleedin idiots.

Another time I was in Asda waiting to return an item item for a quick and easy refund and the woman behind the customer services desk refused to serve me while she waited for a guy to go off round the store to find a replacement for an item of clothing he'd brought back but he was taking ages. Why couldn't she just serve me in the mean time?

And they say men can't multitask.”

Whilst you have a point it does open up the problem of what happens if you start ordering more things? Like what if you order something that takes longer than the coffee?

I was miffed last night as hubby mucked up our takeaway. He was supposed to order a stuffed crust meat feast pizza for me and the kids and order a spicy small personal pizza for himself. After ordering it online, he realized (too late) that he ordered both pizzas as the spicy one and no stuffed crust. I'm not into really spicy stuff and although I picked the jalapenos off it was still pretty hot. Did I mention there was no stuffed crust?

I'm over it now of course and I know he didn't do it on purpose, but I felt quite put out last night as we only get takeaway once a month. I told him we could just buy a stuffed crust from Iceland/ASDA next time and save our money.

You could show a little tolerance. You'll be old one day, and perhaps not feel the need to rush around!

Men who shuffle around supermarkets, almost bent double with their beer bellies resting on the handle of the trolley. Not because they're old or disabled, purely because they're slovenly slobs.

People who answer the phone without saying anything, leaving you to wonder whether they’ve answered accidentally in their pocket, they’ve answered and are waiting for you to speak, they’ve answered but haven’t put their phone to their ear yet, it’s their “hilarious” leave-a-voicemail message that goads you into speaking before the tone..

Grr.

Parents who let their kids run around riot in restaurants especially when it's busy.

Loud people on public transport (teenage girls especially)

Men who roll down the windows of their car and shout something random out I.e. "oi" or "wahey" - what is the point?

Seeing people walk out of public toilets without washing their hands or flushing the toilet

People who come into my work one minute before closing and proceed to ask if we're open.

Sale rails that are all shoved in together with no size or type organising.

Public displays of affection; my friend, her boyfriend and I all live in the same town so we decided to share a train and taxi back. They just made out the whole way there like straddling and groping and weird slurpy noises.

People in shops who ask would you like a bag when I'm buying a lot of stuff. No no thanks I'll carry them in my arms. Wtf

You might have a bag already, for all they know. And it will make even more sense to ask when bags become chargeable, as they already are in Wales.

Driving home from work, I witnessed quite possibly the worst display of driving I have seen in the ten years I have been driving.

Moron in a dark blue "souped up" Golf GTI, proceeded to do the following:-

- Tailgated every vehicle he was behind
- Failed to indicate at every junction and roundabout he used
- Threw an empty plastic bottle out of the window while stopped at traffic lights
- Overtook another car who was already carefully overtaking a slow-moving cyclist
- Overtook a van on a residential street and then pulled in sharply as a bus was coming towards him

These are the kinds of drivers who take innocent people with them A few minutes later I passed him just as he pulled up to get out and visit a house. Nothing special, lad looked about 14, tracksuit and cap on backwards, all 5 foot none of him, he was obviously over-compensating for something.

Although I'm quick to turn if my husband says it and I'm in crabbit form. Oi! I'm not a bloody Tinkers! I'm a [maiden name] and don't you forget it.

People who are supposed to be your friends but can never be happy for you.
I hate to use this phrase but I do think they are jealous.
A few weeks ago my mate got a job interview and I text her 'good luck', but when I told some other friends I was in interview hardly any said anything.

Thanks for your support 'friends'!

Hoping they send me something tomorrow - but even so it's a bit shitty to give important location details etc one day before the interview!

That really annoys me.”

I share your annoyance. I got an email at 1pm on Tuesday asking if I'd like to go in for an interview. By 5pm I had another one from them saying not to bother as they'd changed their mind. When I asked why (incase it helped with future applications) she just said 'oh I just had another look at my list and changed my mind'. Yeah cheers. That tells me NOTHING.

Usually you'll find its the same ones that zoom round town or sit in carparks at 11pm since they have nothing better to do with their time other than waste petrol and shout at strangers. ****s.

That. Is. Awful. Honestly, I think that is so unprofessional. Hope something else turns up. Preferably from someone who knows their arse from their elbow.

The best part is that it's a very well known local business that even everyone goes nuts over. I think I've had a lucky escape tbh.

When you've got a parcel on the way, being delivered by RCC (random courier company) and you want the guy to just leave it in your porch if he finds you not in, so as well as doing the online courier-instructions thing you leave this big white envelope with big R.C.C written on it pinned to your green door, containing the same delivery instructions, along with a thanx for doing a great job. Then when you return, though you find your parcel there all safe and secure, that big 'king envelope is STILL there, unopened and unpinned. So the courier guy must have come and either missed this BIG 'KING ENVELOPE, or seen it and read the R.C.C on the cover and thought to himself "hmmm, I wonder who that could be for" or "hey, this guy has the same initials as my company" or "bibble, bibble, wubbu woo" and decided to leave it alone. I don't want to complain cos I got my parcel ok, but this "whats-up-wit-dat" thing is really puzzling me.

btw: RCC is just a generic name I've employed cos I didn't wanna give away the actual company, but you gathered that already, right ?!
