I would class that as harassment. Assuming you are female (?) it could almost be called sexual harassment. I would report anyone immediately if they kept touching me like that, regardless of whereabouts.

No I'm male but the guy is one of those weird freaks who thinks everything should be his business. I don't have an issue with friends touching me and I think this idiot thought were friends despite me making it planely clear I couldn't stand him.

The best was when he kept asking why I'd split up with a girlfriend. Apparently 'drifting apart due to both of us working long and often conflicting antisocial hours yet still remaining friends' doesn't happen! I must be imaging my own life

I'd be waiting all day for him to retrieve it, Graham!

Had more vague responses this morning from cruise ship passengers that are here for the day.

Me: Is there anything that you've read in your cruise info book you would like to see?
Them: I don't know...
Me: Do you have any particular interests, such as wildlife, archaeology, walking etc?
Them: I don't know...
Me: *gives a brief overview of some things to do as a suggestion*
Them: I don't want to do that! You're no help!

Thank God it's lunchtime

The word "Brufen". I don't know why, but I hate it.


People saying "solfadeine" instead of "solpadeine". There is not an f or a ph in solpadeine so why do people say it that way?

People who leave all their litter in the shopping trolley when they leave the supermarket.

People who drape themselves over the shopping trolley as they are too lazy to stand.

The word 'douche' as in douche bag. To me people who use it are just as annoying as those they are insulting!

I have absolutely no issue with c*** by the way.

I find this strangely annoying too. I notice old women do it more than anyone else - they lean forward on the trolley and move along as though it is some kind of mobility aid for them. And they meander up and down the aisles with a mostly empty trolley.

I want to be shot if I ever get to be like that....

This is what I would do too. Anyone who isn't friends with me who feels the need to lay their hands on me (tickling or otherwise) deserves a kick in the crotch

Much like how some creep in town the other day found out

Same here, signed up to the Telephone Preference Service years ago but things are now worse than ever.

I'd call it a bit childish too, when do adults ever "tickle" each other (outside of the bedroom )? And on a production line" job isn't it a bit dangerous?

People who answer somebody's question on DS forums despite the fact it's already been answered a maximum of three posts previously. Or sometime even one

And they always call at really inappropriate times

When you're shopping online and you click on the 'more details' button of a product and it says ' this product is no longer available'.
Well, take it off your f***ing website then!!

Sorry to say I am like that. I have a blue badge, park in the disabled bay and use a walking stick. I don't use my sick if I'm pushing a trolley as, yes, it is a great aid for mobility. By the time I have done my shopping and empty the trolley into the car its all I can do to push it back to the park and walk back to the car without it. I don't consider myself old, at nearly seventy one, and I certainly enjoy life otherwise so please don't shoot me.

When you reach in your pocket to discover you dont have enough to buy the next round. Aaaaaargh!!!

This is something that pops up on pub quiz machines but is sure to annoy anyone who hates misuse of the English language.

They keep having the same question with a different set of multiple choice answers.

The question is:

"Chronologically which of these events happened first?"

I don't think I need to explain why that makes my blood boil!

I t'ought I taw tautology. (it's quite hard to say that.)

That you now need a pair of scissors in order to comfortably enjoy a 'Flake' or 'Twirl' without a flappy piece of plastic spoiling your enjoyment.

Always getting stuck with the dodgy trolley in shops; the one that you just cannot seem to push in a straight line. When shopping today I was negotiating around the store when my trolley decided to just give up and started veering to the left. It resulted in me having to pull it backwards whilst the presumably broken wheel was screeching along the shop floor. I must have looked like a complete idiot literally having to drag it through the shop

Women's loungewear. I actually hate this term but it's the lack of pockets that annoy me, I end up having to wear a hoodie or dressing gown in order to use pockets, whereas most men's loungewear have pockets.

Self righteous people (usually on twitter) who be outraged on someone's behalf over trivial remarks even when the actual person person involved wasn't actually offended, as with John Inverdale and Andrew Castle.

At the moment, it's continually typing on the wrong keyboard when I've put my laptop on the workstation of my broken PC. I can't stop myself doing it.

Probably trying to protect their tealeaves from t-liefs
