Many of the things I dislike have already been mentioned, but another that drives me cuckoo are people who invade your personal space.
These are people who stand behind you in a queue, practically breathing down your neck, you take a step or two forward, not really moving anywhere, still waiting..... and they take yet another opportunity to fill the space... BACK OFF!!!:x

Someone did that to me in town today. I shifted forward several times, and he followed each time. So I stood on his foot

A woman who was toxic with the cold did this to me once.
I was furious. She was snorting and snuffling the whole way behind me in a queue, blowing her germs on me. Finally, I had enough. I turned around and coughed (theatrically) directly into her face.

The most patronising word ever, when used in the above context! !

Nice one!

Them stupid plastic bottles that most drinks come in now, i.e. lemonade, cola etc. They used to come with a flat black bit glued to the bottom. But whaddaya know - some fool thought it would be a great idea to produce the bottles without this on, so that the fucking things roll all over the shopping trolly and fall over in shopping bags.

Even when they are empty, you try and stand 'em up, the screw on cap makes them top heavy and they still fall over (especially the smaller ones that have a 'waist' about half way up) if the slightest breath of wind catches them. If I had my way - I would ban them from the Lane household forever. My hate of them is in a minority though and we are overrun with the bloody things...even our parrots love to chew on them so old ones get saved and piled on the parrot cages, which annoys me even further

Cheers, Steve.

and I would have got away with it if it weren't for you pesky kids!!!!!! X

oh yeah defo. space invaders are terrible. i know a few people at work like that and i cant bring myself to tell them to GIVE ME SOME SPACE FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stand drunken bums, their patter reeks of bullshit.

yip, drunken smarmy bullshitters.. boring bastards.

Don't worry about me, I can cope.

Don't get me started on being called 'love' in a condescending way. I love to be called love in a nice way.

I know it's not a pet hate but Susie's just posted and I saw my first snowdrops of the year on Friday at Portchester Castle down near Portsmouth ... I almost took a photo for you Suz

Thanks for thinking of me. My spirits lift every time I see snowdrops, then I forget my pet hates.

Back on topic.

People at work who moan about the boss, then when he wants something it's ''Yes Sir, no Sir, three bags full, let me kiss your arse Sir''
