Things that make you disproportionately angry

[Greedo]

People who stop dead in their tracks on leaving an escalator

People walking about supermarkets not caring who the bump into with their trolley

People that park in parent child parking / disabled parking when they shouldn't

People that dont say thanks, if you've held the door open for them

People spending longer than 30 seconds at a cash machine

People with umbrellas who think as long as their body isn't touching you that the umbrella doesn't matter.

That's all for now and just a few things on my trip out this morning. Back in now then heading out in 20mins for a long boozy lunch!!!!!

 

[Jane Smart]

people that park next to my car in a car park, even though I have parked well away from everyone else and there are a hundred spaces before having to park next to me

people that let their dogs "wee" on my lawn as it leaves brown marks

 

[palinurus]

Colleagues who tell me I'm going to get wet when it's raining.

People that park in parent child parking / disabled parking when they shouldn't

That really gets me, especially the disabled spaces, but I don't think it's unreasonable to get angry about it.

 

[wafflycat]

People who can't manage a basic 'please' or 'thank you'
Queue jumpers at bus stops (often the elderly!)
Drivers who do not signal their intentions at junctions/roundabouts
Drivers who jump red lights (coz as any fule noe, it's only cyclists wot jump red lights, innit)
Drivers who drive along the footpath
Ninja cyclists/red light jumping cyclists
Petrolheads who whinge about speeders being caught
Cycle farcilities
Lack of decent public transport (into evenings and weekends especially)

People spending longer than 30 seconds at a cash machine

Not fair. Sometimes I want to pay my credit card bill or top my phone up as well as get cash. Or all three. I'll probably try not to do it all when there's a big queue, but I can't help it if I'm in the middle of a transaction and you happen to come up and wait behind me.

All the rest are reasonable enough. I'd add, and I realise that this is quite job specific, when people put their recycling out all 'sorted' into bags, but 'sorted' according to some system of their own (days of the week perhaps?), so that each soggy, clingy carrier bag contains one steel tin containing leftover dogfood, two aluminium cans, a green bottle, a clear (but unwashed) jam jar and a soggy copy of the Sun...

And those people who manage to block an entire pavement on their own, by walking in a very subtle slow meander, so that whichever side you go to overtake them, suddenly there isn't space.

And people who say 'one of the only', when they 'mean one of the few'...

I used to have this problem, got myself a head-mounted horn.

 

[palinurus]

I could use it at the cashpoint too I guess.

PARP! come on, come on..

The button on the pedestrian crossing.

Press. Press. Press. Press. Oh come on. PressPressPressPressPressPress.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

People.

 

[GrasB]

People who want a set of rules applied globally to everyone but come up with 100 & 1 reasons why they are the exception to their own rule set.

People who pull out on you short then don't even accelerate away in a brisk manner... if you're going to make someone brake fairly hard then at least have the decency of getting out of their way in a timely manner.

People who stand right next to the shelves in supermarkets when reading the labels & then glare at you when you ask if they could move so you can get something.

People who press the button on the toucan crossing & then run across the road when there's a hint of a gap in the traffic... if you're going to use the crossing then use it properly else don't bother.

Young children, any child much under 8 really... just be else where & we'll get on fine!

Drivers who do not signal their intentions at junctions/roundabouts

Personally prefer this to incorrect signalling at junctions/roundabouts which is far more confusing & problematic to deal with.

Oh yes, and overly impatient people...

Everything these days! Aaaargh!!

 

[TVC]

Charity collectors at supermarket tills who want to pack your bags for money, and when you say no thank you they give you a look like you've just dropped one.
The worst are the local cheerleading team or kids football club (which you've never heard of) who are trying to get money to fund a trip for their little darlings to go somewhere abroad. Pay for it yourselves instead of trying to guilt total strangers into funding it for you!

Old people in supermarkets . It's not a social club ffs, and why do they wait until the weekend they have got all week to do their shopping, why wait until everyone still at work is doing theirs.

And then there are people that seem to need to go every day. I reckon we should have a rationing system. Take 6 colours (don't need to go shopping on a sunday) and give each day a colour, you can only go shopping on your days colour.

Hmmm, have I thought about this to much
