When no one respond to your post but then someone else posts exactly the same thing and gets all the credit
Exactly!

Also when you're specifically talking to someone with an expectation of a response and never get one. Especially if you've put a lot of thought/time into it.

People who don't put the "next customer" thingy behind their shopping on the conveyor belt to separate their shopping from yours. Naturally said thingy is always out of your reach and you have to do a loud "excuse me" and invade their personal space to grab one from near the checkout person. Lazy bast*rds.

Inanimate objects.

I was emptying the dishwasher and put a knife on the hatch between the kitchen and the dining room. Either this knife was suicidal or just fancied a high dive into the water bowl of my cat which lay below. The bowl did not survive

The fact that physically or mentally abusive or serial cheating blokes always seem to have a partner/s no matter how badly they treat them.

'Bad Boy' syndrome.

I would gently stick them in a locked cell with a Bengal Tiger that had been starved for a bloody week.

When you are at a pedestrian crossing and the person standing there before you is positioned right next to the button, but never presses it. Do they just expect that the traffic will just stop for them in the end? I find myself having to resist the urge to shout "push the button!"

Haven't thought of this for years.

I've got so fed up with this I recently stopped posting in the Advice and PC forums. I'm trying once again to be helpful but if the same thing happens then no more lengthy well researched posts from me. There's quite a few FMs who think likewise I reckon. Manners maketh man.

You're lucky your cat wasn't having a drink at the time!

Crossover Cars - The awful 4X4 type vehicles that seem to be everywhere now, seemingly all for image. I just don't see the point of them and would much rather have the equivalent hatchback or people carrier. Nissan started it with their awful Qashqai thing.

Sat down earlier to watch some recorded tv progs (YouView) only to learn the recording "failed", drives me nuts when that happens.

People who post things like "If you cant handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best", I hate this passive-aggressive rubbish To top it off they usually contain a picture of a Minion, Stitch or some other character - WHY?

^ On a related note: those "funny" posts on Facebook that have a Minion for no real reason.

Pedestrains that walk really close to the back of your car when you are coming out of a junction and then give you a dirty look if your car rolls back even so much as an inch towards them. Either wait for the cars to go or give yourselves more space so my car doesn't nearly squish you.

Those TV programmes where they keep going back and forth between several stories, then keep having to recap each one every time they come back to it - like Nightmare Neighbours or Embarrassing Bodies.

Sorry . I actually don't mind the Juke, it's the bigger 4X4 type cars like the Qashqai, Ford Kuga I don't like. It's mostly because the vast majority of them I see are driven really aggressively.

-When people leave you in the dark about certain important situations.
-Crap keyboards
`-When you talk to someone and start wondering if they are wearing a wig - then you lose track of the conversation. Maybe I just get distracted easily...

The use of the word 'only' when it comes to listing goods by price.

Only £500. Only £5000. .....

Just list the fecking price.

Sofa sellers in particular take note.

When you do push the button and someone else comes along, barges past you and everyone else at the crossing then keeps repeatedly pressing the button because "Somebody didn't bother pushing the button."

Pedestrians who use those giant speed bumps (don't know the correct term for them!) as they would a zebra crossing....they don't have stripes people, you do not have right of way!! And then they give you a filthy look when you don't stop

Similarly, drivers who think "keep clear" painted on the road entitles them to pull out in front of you without looking.

Drivers in the New Malden area in Surrey....surely the most aggressive and impatient in the entire country.
