    Right then boys and girls;

    I'm on shift this weekend, it looks like a nice day out there and I have loads of reasons why I'd rather not be here.

    Because of this, little things are irritating me intently, and as the day progresses, I will update this thread, for no other reason than to use this forum to vent my spleen. please bear with me, and feel free to add any random annoying things of your own.

    1) People who say "end of" at the end of a sentence.

    Parking charges on Sundays. How not to encourage people to come to your shopping centres, swimming pools, hospitals even.

    Money grabbing *****.

    Similar to yours. People who say 'Fact' at the end of a sentence.

    People who use the claim "I just say it as it is" as an excuse for being rude.

    Also people who say "at the end of the day" before they say something stupid.

    Lateness, I despise it, unless there is a completely valid reason, like being struck by lightening I see no other reason (especially over sleeping!) for it other than rudeness.

    I agree. People say at school "oh I overslept":confused: How is that possible when you should have an alarm set, or failing that a responsible parent? If you are going to be late anyway, the least you should do is ring that person to let them know how long you'll be.

    Oh don't me started on this! It annoys me so much. Where I live it costs 60pence to park at the local shops for 30minutes Mon-Sat. On Sunday, when only 2 small shops are open and you couldn't spend more than 30 minutes there if you tried, there is a £2 all day charge. It makes no sense at all. Where my mother lives it is the same. I can visit her Mon-Sat for 2 hours for £1.20. If I drop in on a Sunday for a coffee or because she needs something done, it's £2 all day. Money grabbing ***** indeed!

    People who spend 10 minutes telling you why they're too busy to do a 5 minute job - and it's their job anyway - even if it takes an hour !!!

    People at the checkout till in Supermarkets, paying using pennies or even worse, the Vulture Voucher Brigade.

    There are loads of similar things like this;

    People who are just all round objectionable, but say "I know I annoy people, but people have to take me as they find me"

    People who say "I'm not being rude/racist, but" before they say something clearly rude/racist.

    Other things which annoy - people who stand in the middle of thoroughfares at stations or airports, when you're in a hurry and get in the way.

    People who don't say thankyou when you open the door for them
    Ignorant dogs

    ....and I still have over 4 hours to go @ work

    Yes. Saying something like " I tell it straight" is no excuse for rudeness.

    My parents do that. They enter the airport and every ounce of common sense is gone. They stand at the bottom of escalators and things to check the signs or the tv with the flight on it.:forehead: Utter idiocy.

    Simmo - EVERYBODY who goes to an airport loses every ounce of common sense.
    Believe me, I suffer it daily - especially on the approach roads

    The suit wearing masses of London who walk about at 100mph on their blackberries with their shiny briefcases, trying to look important as an excuse to knock old people out the way so they can get a seat on the tube after their hard day sitting on their arse in a coffee shop with their laptop out.

    Dumb parents, people who don't know how to use deoderant, people who spell lose as loose, queue jumpers of any description in any scenario, vegans.

    People who walk around with music on their mobile phones blaring out on speakers! I do not want to hear Tiny Tempah's new song yet again thank you!

    People who lack manners.

    I have on several occasions given up my seat on the Tube to an elderly person or woman with a baby only to be given that glare of derision from my fellow commuters as if I have somehow committed a heinous crime.

    Also getting on and off the Tube. Some arseholes cannot be bothered to wait to let people off the train first without barging in or shoving their rucksack into your middle.

    And in summer you find some people including the odd female , do lack hygiene.

    I also make sure I wash hands after shaking them with someone I do not know considering how few people seem to think i is okay not to wash them after they have been to the toilet.

    And don't get me started on speech. It is mainly children but quite often middle aged adults. Why insert 'cos like' ,'loads of', 'you know what I mean' and a whole host of other meaningless interjections into your speech ?

    If you cannot speak coherently at a fair old pace then just take a breath to collect your thoughts.

    It could be that people nowadays are posessed of a far more limited vocabulary and lack of diction.

    Education, education, education........ what a joke. :forehead:

    That reminds me, there's a lady in our office who has been seen several times by very reputable people coming out of the toilet cubicle and straight out of the door. That's bad enough, but she's always the first one to handle any treats that might be brought into the office like cakes, sweets etc. It needs sorting but her manager is a complete wet blanket :dismay:.

    Ughhh.......... I take it as read you politely decline them when they are handed out or on whoever's desk they have been left on ?

    I used to have a very similar thing when I was a teacher. It was the bloke who done all the photocopying for you. Whenever the top sheet had smudged ink on it, you had to hope that it was from wet ink and not fingers! He was also one of those blokes that for whatever the weather, he wore short sleeves and all the windows open in the room, had about 50 pens in his top shirt pocket and was as much of a jobs-worth as you can get. Certainly do not miss him now!

    Shop assistants who lick/wet their fingers to help open a carrier bag that will then have your goods/food items placed in, leaving you with a partially saliva covered bag and goods.
    I don't know why most people don't seem bothered by this but is a real pet hate of mine.

    People who say know instead of now and vice versa. :rant: Only noticed it recently in the past year or so, but they have totally different meanings! Its criminal to mess those up!

    My biggest pet hate, which also seems to be becoming more and more popular, is people who sign off e-mails or texts using the initial of their first name. Drives me ***cing insane.

    Another one of mine is "No offence but.." then thinking that allows them to make the most offensive abusive statement about someone they possibly can.

    The approach roads are the worst. They even signpost it clearly but somehow you still end up in arrivals every time.

    People who say "Pacific" instead of "specific"

    The bloke at work who obviously must clean his teeth with dog-mess !!!!

    People who say things like "state of the ark" or "damp squid" or chester draws, doggy dog world, those kinda things. Annoying!

    My parents are the same, whereas I generally try to get places quickly and have to dodge through the likes of Mr and Mrs Moog and Simms Snr, who are standing around looking vacant.

    Also, people who stand on escalators. I can't just stand and wait for the slow thing to take me up or down, so get out of my way, fat lazy *******s.
