Mine?

Used teabags left out on saucers or in cups. For some reason they just make me cringe.

People not indicating or giving the wrong indication at roundabouts,

I absolutely hate it to the point that if people are not indicating i will take that as they are "going streight on", If they then come around and imply i have pulled out on them i have been known to stop dead and get out the car or lorry and tell them they must have a light out as their INDICATOR was not working and have suggested they get it fixed.

LadyScozz I know what you mean, my Mum always insisted we were called by our whole name, people still assume they can shorten it till I put them straight.

Emails addressing me by my surname (no mr...; just the surname).

I believe spitting in public places is still illegal as is litter bugging!

I have so many pet hates I could write a book. However, driving through Birmingham at 7.45 this morning I will add one more to my list. Drivers who all think they are Sterling Moss or Jansen Button and who are actually atrocious drivers. They are hell bent on getting somewhere so urgently they are risking not only their own lives but other road users. There are signs saying "Drive Carefully" and Speed Kills" so obviously they cant read either.

Phew I feel better for that. :-)

We have found that some cannot be behind a smart car except as recently with flooding or puddles they will stay behind us grr.

Local tradesmen, recently we have called an aerial fitter, a plumber, carpet fitter and carpet cleaner, they either didn't call back or overpriced the job because they didn't want it one even drive past looked at the roof and that was it another was a family friend and we said we did not want mates rates, he didn't call back.

There are lots of things I see people do that irritate me

Coughing without using a hanky or putting the hand to the mouth .

Gouging out the nostril. surveying the prize and then eating it. URGG,

Scratching of the crotch

Bending over and showing a nasty bum slit

Could go on and on

As far as driving. Not indicating which way they are going at junctions or tragic lights
Cutting me up on a roundabout cos they were in the wrong lane and them gesturing to me as if its me in the wrong

Right Moaning Minnie I think I have become in my old age

Shirley I'm right next to you on the moaning Minnie steaks, but as a friend said it is the fact that we have lived so long and seen so much that we can't tolerate so much.

My cousin wanted a petticoat with lace on the hem and hasn't found one yet but has seen girls with underwear on show, we have modesty they do not.
Another rant over!
