People who moan about the ALS Ice bucket challenge. It's hurting no-one, not exactly difficult to avoid and is raising awareness and a huge amount of cash for a very good cause.

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
![]() Queue jumpers - sorry but Asian tourists (Chinese, Japanese, Malays) seem to have this bad habit in their blood. The worst queue jumpers I've encountered have been teachers, especially retired ones. I used to work in a teacher training college and they would just barge ahead in front of everyone else. Even in ASDA I've encountered that attitude when people demand to be served first "I'm a retired teacher you know." |

Carrying on from the last post....Teachers who talk to everyone the same way as they talk to their students.

Horrible woman who would barge to the front of queues and then expect someone to carry her shopping home. Whenever she visited us she would sit and dish out orders to everyone. Funny thing was most of the family did as they were told! I had a big falling out with her when I was a teenager. She visited us and ordered me to "fetch" my Uncle Frank. I said "Nope" and she went ballistic and told me to fetch him right away. I told he was in Brisbane. In a cemetery in Brisbane. "Don't talk nonsense, Fetch him! I'm not in the habit of being disobeyed!" "You're not in the habit of listening either are you?" She never came back. |

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?
Maybe some of them are overweight due to mobility problems and maybe they have bought their own mobility scooters. Can't always judge a book by its cover... |

Thin bin bags. They're so thin that if you put anything with a corner in them it tears it right open.

Being sniped out of an eBay auction by a last second bidder.
Luckily this is NOT what happened to day, put my bid in at 17:28:19, auction closed at 17:28:21 leaving me the winner :woot: - hopefully the guy who bid at 17:28:14 is kicking himself for bidding too low and crying a lot. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I would be interesting to know just how many people know which charity it is for and know what the disability is.

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!
My car is used mainly to drive to and from work with only me in the car. Other than that I use it to drive to and from friends which is only me in the car. If I'm going somewhere with the missus then there's only 2 of us. If I'm driving to the football with my brother there's only 2 of us. I tend to find I barely ever have to give groups of people lifts since I bought my Puma, in fact I think the fact people have to squash into the back puts people off asking. ![]() Even if I do have to give people a lift it doesn't annoy me because I'm the driver and not the person having to clamber in the back after putting the front seat down.

Going to my iPad expecting it to be fully charged, only to find that I've connected it correctly but have forgotten to turn the current on. I'm always doing it.

I do that. "Hmm. I plugged it in, why isn't it on? Oh yeah, the wall switch." Sometimes I only figure it out after I've opened the plug and checked the insides.

I've been having to spend time at a relative's house recently, for a couple of days every fortnight. Thank god it's not any longer than that, because she drives me mad. She bites her nails really really badly - to the extent that she also chews at the skin on the side of her fingers and makes slurping noises at the same time. It sounds disgusting.
Also, she likes the end crusts in a loaf of bread, so she'll dig around inside a loaf wrapper to get at the bottom crust, even if the loaf is practically freshly opened. She never puts the other slices back straight, so it's a dead giveaway, and it screams that she's manhandled every slice of bread to get the bottom crust. Add that to her nail biting and it makes me feel slightly yukky.

Americans who thought that, because I'm from England, I *must* know their mother's next door neighbour's window cleaner's daughter in law. Or somebody from the Royal Family.
Thank god I'm no longer in America. |
