News Presenters who sign off saying 'Have a wonderful weekend' You don't actually give a **** what kind of weekend I have, and why should you, anyway????. People who call me Maureen. People who park in my expensive,clearly marked, private parking space (but I have the last laugh, they get the lipstick treatment). Mouth breathers. People who only wash occasionally and cover up with cheap perfume. Grotesque old men who seem to think I will be grateful for their attentions just because we are in the same age bracket. Next door's cats using my garden as their toilet. Olde Crone

3 year olds in nappies Spitting. Cyrus banned spitting in Persia about 500 BC, also nose blowing. (they didn't have hankies in those days.) People on GR who write all in lower case. People on GR who write all in capitals People on GR who use commas instead of apostraphies. People on GR who use there instead of their, or they're. etc. Dave

Well I'd agrre with most already on here but another thing is when people do that awful four fingered gesture when they mean that something they have just said should be in inverted commas,!! Don't think I've explained meself very well.

It's nice to know that there are a few people out there that hate the the same thing. For those who do not believe me, please look it up in the dictonary under Aitch. Another one is 'What ever'.

Drivers who park on pavements blocking the way for pedestrians. People who meet friends in town then stand talking blocking the way, so you can't get past. People who don't say thank you when you hold the door open for them. Queue jumpers, especially bus queues.

Cutlery left on a drainer after being washed up, drives me nuts. Peeling spuds people that throw shopping trollys, road cones etc into the river every weekend after they leave the pubs and clubs, for fun, Shirley Ann.

I'm with Carol, the Americans are an interesting breed to eat with! Holding the fork like a dagger, all fist, carving up the meat or something then putting the knife down now their food is in bits and using only the fork!! I also hate arrogance of any form. I detest arrogant drivers, pushing past you when a lane is closing down, trying to run the red light cause they don't want to wait. I try and block them every opportunity I get! My husband is convinced I'm going to end up writing my car off one of these days!! Brenda
