When a supermarket decides to discontinue selling an own brand item which has been a regular purchase for years.

Ask her! Go on, I'm dying to know too (although she's probably just taking them home)
There's often one on her desk. She doesn't buy tissues. I do like her and wouldn't want to fall out over a trivial thing. She's not the sort to have any conscience about stuff. If she sees the cleaners have put four rolls in there and I take three and hide them then the tables will be turned and she'll think I've pinched them!

Two door cars. Why on earth does anyone want to buy a two door car? My friend has a new Mini which is horrible! I'd rather pay the full road tax for my four door car with a slightly larger engine than pay no tax for a matchbox. My boss has just bought a 4x4 which only has two doors!

I suppose because they're cheaper. And if you're not often carrying more than one passenger it would make sense.

My mum has a 2 door Corsa and it drives me mad (pardon the pun). I have a 2 year old so putting her in and out her car seat whenever we go out for the day is bloody annoying. I don't know how many times I've banged my head on the roof

What exactly is it? Do you stand in a bucket of ice/get some tipped over you and that's it?

We don't drive so only use a car if we are having a lift from someone. I always end up sitting in the back, and two doors are so awkward for getting in and out

(I'm in my 50's and not so flexible as I used to be )

Same here, but I can't really complain if someone is kind enough to give me a lift!

I'm sure some are doing to draw attention to the cause rather than themselves.

People who say "I was sick in my mouth" - well where else would you be sick, in your ear?

I'd put 'some' as a really low amount and the rest following a fad/trend.

People in mobility scooters who drive right at you on the footpath and don't move to steer around you so that you have to step aside for them

Seeing able bodied people (usually middle-aged women) get on the bus and plonk their backsides in the seat right behind the driver reserved for the disabled even when 3/4 of the bus is empty.

Mothers who park their 4X4's on the crossing right outside the school and don't get out of the car with their kids but sit there blocking the traffic until their pudgy offspring are inside the gates after having turned to wave at mum 25 bloody times.

Mothers who consistently send their kids to school without a snack for break or lunch (I am a supervisory assistant in our local primary and bear witness to this kind of laziness all the time....)

People who look the other way when their dog is pooing on the footpath ad then carry on/people who drag their dog along while it is pooing so that the poo is dotted along the footpath

Queue jumpers - sorry but Asian tourists (Chinese, Japanese, Malays) seem to have this bad habit in their blood.

Buses that go around the ass end of nowhere instead of straight down the main road. I had the mispleasure of using one earlier today as my car was in for a service. What should have been a 20 minute ride took a good hour because they had to drop every unwashed oik off in a different backwater excuse for a village

I saw a morbidly obese couple on their scooters the other day side by side on the pavement. Pedestrians had to step into the road to not be hit by them.

Drunken women.

Why is it that when women get together and get drunk they have to turn into a giggley pack of hyenas that screech and shout at an ear shattering pitch and have to behave generally annoyingly and find the most childish, puerile things so ruddy hilarious? Why because they've had a few glasses of wine or a few vodka shots do they feel the compulsion to start shouting and screaming at the top of their voice like overexcited schoolgirls about to wet themselves.

Whenever my wife's been out with her friends I actively avoid being up when she gets in because I know full well that she will just annoy the shit out of me and do my head in by being drunk and silly and annoying and having spent a night in by myself watching tv, the last thing I want as I'm about to turn in for the night is to be greeted by some drunken, giggley woman who insists I stay up for the next 3 hours to make her cheesey chips and give her a foot rub because she's still in the mood to party while she staggers about and leeches all over me with her breath stinking of booze while she does her best to tell me all about her night out with her mates and generally talks utter shite until she feels sober enough to go to bed.

I saw one yesterday. It annoys me that they are entitled to these mobility scooters when they self inflict their own disability by overeating. The reason they need them is because they wont stop shovelling crap in their gobs until they get so big that they can't hold themselves up anymore. Who's fault is that?
