omg, I forgot about the impatient people at the door!

Our doorbell is a Westminster chime....

DING DONG, DING DONG
DING DONG, DING DONG
DING DONG, DING DONG
DING DONG DING DONG

Usually that's enough time for me to shuffle/limp my way to the door.

Some people can't wait for the DING DONG to finish, they're knocking on the door!

Do they think I'm waiting behind the door?

I quite enjoy the intellectual poser types.

Remember the necromancy woman?

Now, I can't look knowledgeable, nobody would believe it, but I still don't like being patronized.

I was going into the scrapyard once, where I was known as a regular customer, when I met with some dingbat coming out carrying a tail- pipe ( ask yourself if you would buy THAT in a scrapyard). He felt it his duty to stop and tell me to do something ( and I wish I could remember what it was now) that you would not be going into a scrapyard if you didn't know you had to do.

Likewise, when I ventured into a strange scrapyard and asked for two leaf springs off the same vehicle. Don't be silly girly you only need the one spring, ha-ha,

So I only had the one spring because that was all I needed, went home, fitted it and within a week, it had broken the other one!

Having asked for a linctus cough medicine in a chemists, I was put through the third degree by a woman who wasn't even serving me, to ascertain that I really did want that sort.

I wonder if it is because I dribble and pick my nose when I am asking them.

People who knock on the glass instead of using the doorbell :-|

Lots of those listed

I also dislike people who think they are intellectual types and delight in making other people feel stupid.

A while back, my cousin and I were having a moan about things that annoy us.

We agreed that we are turning into Cranky Old Women.

I said we were cows.

Now we address each other as cow 1 and cow 2 (I'm cow 1 cos I'm older).

Anyone want to join the COW club?

:-)

@Kay???? ;-) Nobody's perfect !

The faultless paragons of virtue.........
;-) :-D

Rhod Gilbert (in his copmedy show at Apollo, Hammersmith) reminded me of a couple of my pet hates:
1. Cost of one person to travel second class by train from Cardiff to Paddington and back at peak times is now £213 (TrainLine cheapest fare) and £339 first class. Very often you don't even get a seat and sit or stand for entire 2 hours in the wondrous and freezing cold area called the vestibule next to a smelly and overfilled toilet. GWR are taking the proverbial :-P :-P :-P
2. Shower and bath gels that perk you up or relax you. So easy to use the Mint and Tea Tree before you go to bed and the Lavender when you awake in the morning. So you are up all night and sleeping through important meetings in the day :-( :-(

Just about everything and evryfink :-) from above....didn't realise I disliked so much either Paula until I read through the posts and realised I was nodding my head in agreement at them all.

I'll add some too.....

Drivers who don't use their car indicators = bad drivers.
Drivers who whizz around car parks at top speed = dangerous drivers.
Wobbly tables in bars/restaurants/cafes = irritating beyond belief.
Cold callers - worse than door callers are the phone callers = I could shoot the lot of 'em :-P

That's my contribution.





For now :-(

Thanks for your contributions, I agree with most. Reading them I did not realise I disliked so much :-D

I forgot this one......

groups who walk on the footpath, all spread out, taking up ALL the space. walking in a line across the path.

You walk towards them and them expect YOU to move... usually onto the road!

:-(

I would agree with most of Paula's list of dislikes and add:-

Bus drivers who don't stop when you flag them down when you are just a few feet away from the bus stop and those who drive off quickly before you get seated

People walking along the pavement not looking where they are going as they are to busy fiddling with their mobile phones

Religious hypocrites and their holier than thou attitude

Women's guild meetings in the middle of the aisles in shops

Shop assistants who give you a load of dross as change

:-|

most of the above

Food & Wine SNOBS!

People who visit with their brats & say "Your house isn't set up for children"... ofcourse it's not, NO children live here!

"Perfect" (in their own minds) people

Those who try to shove their beliefs down my throat..... and I'm going to hell in a handbasket because I disagree with them.

:-|

Take my soapbox away........ I could go on for hours.

I'm not a food/wine snob, but I detest tripe, liver, brains, kidneys (all that awful/offal stuff....... and can only eat turnip if it's in soup or a pasty.

Double standards.

Name calling, because others likes and dislikes differ.

and Garlic with a vengance....... ;-)

Most of the things already put down, :-( Plus "Tripe and Onions" Yuk Throw up time.

I have to say.. I love the WOnga adds... not the product that's wrong but just the clever puppets and earl.. and the dog....

and I have to agree.. chewing gum like a cow chewing cub...
keeping your ipod in while I am serving you when I am being a cashier at the bank..
rudeness... why do people think bank staff aren't people... that branch staff
don't get the bonuses.... we is just people as well..
Saying thank you .... or please....

In Australia if you say sumfing, anyfing,,, one two free four.. you appear to be uneducated.... but in England it seems to be more accepted....

thank for letting me rant.... :-D

Hello Wendy. I told our five year old grandson not to eat with his mouth open, he looked at me for a moment and asked "How do I put the food in" <3 <3

Curry. If I put the rest of them on here I'd be arrested.

Love beetroot :-D

The 'press 1 to speak to an agent, press 2 to leave a message, press 3 to wait 3 hours, press 4 to be cut off, press 5 to spontaneously combust' type of queue :-)
