Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

That annoys me hugely. I see it far too much in Blockbuster and I just want to slap them. (the parent not the kid )

To further the UK/English/British argument, I cannot stand it when at sporting events it is always "the English athlete..." but when it comes to the Scots or the Welsh they become "British". What is wrong with calling them all British or all after their own nationality. This narks me off constantly like hearing about "Brit Andy Murray" raaaa.

FFS read up and realise it's not the same thing AT ALL!!

Yeah, and people who say they are 'suffering from depression' when they are a bit down.

I see so many parents crossing the main roads dragging their children behind and pushing a buggy when they can clearly see that their is cars coming the other way.
Its bloody stupid when they cross at blind spots especially by us as a lot of drivers speed round our area.

As for shouting and swearing at kids, thats happens far too much in town.
Its not right and those poor kids.

Another thing that annoys me is when parents go out shopping and get toddler out of pushchair and let them run around shop on their own.
Their was this woman that always did it in woolies and she was always losing him, I was forever guiding him back to his mum and I think he was only just 2 if that.
Children wonder off and its easily done, Georgie did it to us in tesco one night but for them to do it a couple of times a week its just ridiculous.
Anyone could have taken him out through the back entrance and she woudn't have known until it was too late.

This annoys me too, in fact I've ranted at my mates a few times about this, I don't care if you want to call them British or by the specific nation that the athlete is from but what I do want is some consistency in approach.

One more from last night. Idiotic women who try to buy drinks, by barging their way through to the front, attempting to get served before anybody else, then moan that everybody seems to have forgotten the concept of "ladies first".

Eat ****.

Oh did I miss something JSB? when did your car get bashed?
I know what you mean though, the amount of people speeding in this weather is mental.
I can't go anywhere cos I can't get buggy through the snow and the snow that is compacted is too slippery and the wheels go all over the place so I am annoyed with the snow too lol

[Justsomebloke]

It's not been bashed as yet but I have seen many people sliding off course towards me
Drives me Mental when I am doing around 10mph in 3rd-4th just tickling along all safe & some Knob comes up behind me fast & then sits on my batty
Or the other knob that approaches junctions to fast in this wetaher & slides over the white line then thinks it's funny as you have ABS

Of course my new found SAAB driver superior feeling over all other motorists has absolutely Nothing to do with this +
Move along please SAAB driver coming through all safely

LOL I know what you mean though, the other night we was coming down a hill and the corner is pretty sharp and some nuttter comes right up our arse and the road was deadly.
Some drivers don't care about their cars or other peoples.
