Things that make you disproportionately angry

[brokenbetty]

People who drop litter, flytip or p*ss in the street. I would shoot them on sight.

People who use the word utilise instead of use, myself instead of me (or even worse, instead of I), or impact instead of affect. This means every time I get an email at work I have to get through a short but red hot rage before I can read it.

 

[Fnaar]

People who walk out of shops/off buses without looking to see who they're going to walk into.

aka the Pedestrian SMIDSY I hate that too!

 

[Fnaar]

People who drag their heels while walking along. It gives a glimpse of your lazy soul, and suggests that you don't wash behind your ears, either.

All is not lost in the world, one person spotted it!

And the pedantic to$$ers of this world would point out that it has one 'l' of an impact on society...

Everything bugs me at some point or the other - but generally, nothing lasts forever, not even your troubles.

At the moment I have a big problem with Tony Blair. Also. the politicians who ooze greed. Particularly the ones that make an 'innocent mistake' et seq.

Gordon Brown is a ---- of the first order (excuse me) because he is a doom laden Old Moore describing what is going to happen. Oh, we can't fund anything relevant to the UK ie: a military establishment, but there is a billion £ or two for 'climate change' (Notice it is change, not warming, for the moment). Meanwhile, among these fortune tellers, these knowledgeable political philanthropists, we have Mr Darling, who is employed to be a fortune teller. He is the very same Mr Darling that said "no-one could have forecast such an economic downturn"...Leave your job you useless piece of s*** and let someone with a hint of realism do it.
I am intolerant of deceivers.


Yours, from toyless pram land,
me.

[colly]

Houses with no numbers marked.

I don't mean houses with names. Just those, and there are often whole rows, with no visible numbers.

I knocked at a house once looking for number 57 (or whatever it was), there was not a house 200 yards either side that had a number.
So doing my best to count I tapped on the door of what seemed to be the right one.
Cue Mrs Miserable Tw*t to answer the door and being really miffed that I had interrupted whatever crap she was watching on telly.
"It's NEXT door" she said.
Like I was supposed to be ****ing clairvoyant.

I asked .....ok maybe half shouted.... why the she didn't have a number up then she need not get off her fat butt to answer the door for people who want somewhere else.

Came the answer I was expecting........."Well look at the numbers on the other houses"

Not so polite reply from me which I won't go into.



Of course at number 57 where my potential customer was........................I was all sweetness and light.

People who park their cars on the pavement.
Creamflow beer.
Celery.
Jon Snow.

 

[ColinJ]

Drivers who see me setting foot on a pedestrian crossing and then accelerate to try and intimidate me into stepping back onto the pavement. I'm talking about cars 30 yards away, not ones which are almost upon the crossing

I always walk more quickly to block their way and force them to stop. I glare at them and point at the black and white stripes beneath my feet. Usually, they have the decency to look embarrassed.

One day, I'll probably be run over by some psycho who refuses to lose this game of 'chicken'. I had one guy last year who did refuse to give way. He swerved round me and almost hit another pedestrian coming the other way across the crossing.

I'm always ready to jump up onto the bonnet if necessary and will make sure that I go through the windscreen and end up on their laps. Either that or they will get a bag of shopping thrown at them. 5 seconds of their time is more important than my life - bastards!

I'll go shopping 4 or 5 times a week, by foot mostly but sometimes by bike, as I use local shops but I still would even if I just used my local supermarket. There is only so much one person can easily carry & that limits the size of the shop.

Yeah, me too, I often drop in after work, and go at the weekend. I have a very small kitchen, and only an icebox in the fridge, so food storage space is limited and I'd run out of bread if I only went once a week.

Here's another annoying thing - Sainsburys giving out vouchers for double or triple points if you spend over so much. Even if I saved up shopping for a fortnight and needed to stock up on big stuff, I wouldn't spend enough, and I'd struggle to carry it.

Colin, I'm with you on the zebra crossings. I have a hard stare I employ.

I've read a few posts but I just have no words to explain what I think..... I'm sure you'll have a go at me but I cannot help to think some of you are just a sad bunch of people with nothing better to do than to get wound up by insignificant things..... life is too short to waist it like that!!!

Is that a 32 or 34 waist???????

 

[gavintc]

People who stand on the platform at the doors of a train blocking your exit. They look so stupid lined up across the door and then turn angry when you call them stupid.

 

[slowmotion]

Don't worry Manonabike. You will attain a trancendental state of Grumpiness eventually. Maybe not in this life, but eventually.

 

[bonj2]

People who have their front fog lights on their car, or who have defective or abnormal headlights. The worst is when they've got one headlight not working properly, just on sidelight, but they have got their fog lights on to compensate.

The worst is people who use the word "yourself" to mean "you", staff of shops or people in a business environment sometimes do this because they think it's more formal and therefore more polite. It's not more polite, it's just incorrect grammar.
