I was fuming but me being me I didn't say anything but it made me really uncomfortable and I could see other people looking and wondering what they were doing. There were foreign so maybe where they were from it was ok?
Also the other day in the post office there were 2 people in fron tof us inthe que and the one directly in front of us was clearly in a hurry but she was right on top of this other lady while she was sorting out her post and paying. There's a sign stating where you should stand to wait but she was up at the counter with the other lady.....I thought they must be together she was so on top of this poor woman, but no she was just trying to hurry her on. Our post mistress was seriously annoyed with her too.....it's just so rude and disrespectful and it doesn't make the que go any faster.
Oooh, I also hate it when you have some bod in a big powerful car (with noisy engine) sitting right behind you when you're doing the 30mph through a village and as soon as the 60 sign is in sight they rev and zoom off at full speed over taking you just becuase it makes them feel good......even if it's bloomin dangerous to do so......I hate aggressive drivers!
Phew....I feel better now.....great thread for letting of steam!
If my "look" doesn't work, I have been known to say "I can't actually get any further forward in case you haven't noticed"!!!!Btw, where's Becky, she's gonna love this thread!!!!

Parents who want the whole world to know that they are in fact.....parents!!!!
You know the people I'm talking about, they talk extremely loudly to their children at queues and every other available oppotunity in crowded places, just so that people will look at their darling little child and the sickeningly "happy family" scene they're desperately trying to have noticed by everyone around them.
Wow big deal love, you've managed to pop out a sprog just like 90% of the other women on the planet. Woopee doo!
Oh and also those parents that seem to think just because they like children enough to have one, that everyone else must love kids too. I'll say it one more time.....
I don't like kids and, yes, that includes yours!!!!

And I'm reading it thinking, 'Oh God I wish I had more time' and then I see this.
H mate, you know me so well
I will be thinking...... lol ....but already I can agree with the littering. Apparently when I was little I used to bring other people's litter home to put in the bin.
Plus whilst driving round on my rounds I saw this guy, about 19, drop one of those Choc Dip cups on the floor, so I pulled over, rolled down the window and told him to pick it right up and find a bin and that I would be following him to make sure he put it in!
It worked too, amazing what a uniform can do lol.

You know who you are
Course my ring tones are sensibly thought out to suit the caller:
hubby rings - filthy (scissor sisters)
kids ring - Tubular bells (excorist theme)
friends ring - Sex & the City Theme
unknowns - ring ring
family - unknown (they never ring my mobile they too tight!)
I also hate:
Listening to other peoples phone calls on the bus - they are not doing all the exciting things they are talking about they lead boring lives like the rest of us on the bloody bus!
The speed at which kids text at & how they say I text like a pensioner.
Text speak or txt spk gr8 c u ltr tb
Predictive text - I want to choose my own words thankyou.
I think I have a phone phobia my last "what gets on your wick" post was about phones too
Oh wait a min..........
Chain emails - forward this email to 7 friends & something great will happen in 10 minutes, forward to 20 & your life will change - NO IT WON'T delete delete delete
If you delete this message you will have bad luck, be hit by a bus tommorrow etc......... Well I'm still here delete, delete, delete.
Computer words like cookie,spam, trojon horse........where they on magic roundabout when they thought of these!!

middle class eco-friendly families who cycle in crocodies on pavements - dad first then in descending order of size till we get to little Sebastian bringing up the rear - all in identical ethically sourced leisurewear and helmets.
teenagers with very bad hearing and no taste in music with ipods
old people in front of me in a queue
people who want to talk to me on buses about how they are going to visit their friend and they go into town twice a week and usually their son takes them in but he`s busy right now because..........

Another one is "India" - why would you call a child after a Country. I just don't get it
I like the good old fashioned names
