@Rosie_Scope and I were just chatting about how we're getting older and what things bother us now.

For me, it's how loud music is in shops. I remember my grandma actually asking a girl in a shoe shop why the music was so loud and I was so embarassed, but I get it now!

    People shouting on mobile phones and using mobile phones/devices at meal tables, and not having any conversation with each other or even looking at the food they are trying to eat whilst being obsessed with gadgets.

    I'm the same with grammar, but mellowed a bit when it comes to people who speak English as a second language. They probably write English a hundred times better than I can write in whatever their native language is!!!

    My grandmother had a nice way of discriminating when it came to literacy skillsโ€ฆ a tradesman or shop assistant would be forgiven but a lawyer or barrister and she would lay well into them. She had to work with a lot of people who had been to all sorts of prestigious schools and couldn't understand how somebody could graduate from Eton or somewhere yet write like a twelve year old

    People knocking on my door or stopping me on the street trying to sell me something or trying to get me to sign up for something. I think in the beginning many years ago it didn't annoy me too much, but now it really bothers me.

    If you click on the three dots next to the unwanted video you can click on 'not interested' or 'don't recommend channel', this should make the videos you dislike come up less.

    Thoughtless people in general - and specifically people who either talk down to me in my wheelchair or ignore me completely and talk to my wife as if I was not there !

    "HELLO - I AM STILL HERE"

    The ISKON devotees ( aka the Hare Krishnas), surely they are quite harmless? I haven't seen any for years in my locale, but now know they have all moved to Sheffield! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    If cyclists are being considerate I'm not too bothered, but what gets me is cyclists who think the rules of the road don't apply to them and skip through red lights while you're trying to cross. Happens a lot in London and it's infuriating!

    We have a problem with Mormons around us - they congregate on street corners and then groups of them rush off to houses where they knock on doors/ring bells and if the door is opened WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER !

    Be as rude as they are & slam the door in their faces. I have a sticker right by my doorbell that reads

    Polite Notice Sign โ€“ No Cold Callers - No Salesmen - No Religious Groups - Thank you! If that is ignored, I am not so polite, I point at the sign & the door gets shut before they've finished their spiel or apology.
