    @woodbine Couples who when walking towards you on a narrow pavement are holding hands and refuse to let go of each other :( Do they expect me to walk in the road  >:) So rude! 

    How could I have forgotten those annoying people who feel the need to talk loudly on their mobile phones when browsing in a supermarket or clothes shop. Just why  :/

    I can't stop now  :smiley: People who clothes shop with a partner and the partner just stands there getting in the way of other shoppers ..............

    Drivers who don't acknowledge you when you let them out of a side road or give way for them.

    Liars
    Bullying of any kind
    People spitting in the street
    Those that drop litter
    Fly tippers
    People with no manners (costs nothing to say please and thankyou, hold a door open etc)
    I pride myself on arriving somewhere early, so can’t understand why some always arrive late!
    Using mobile phones on public transport (unless for emergencies)

    People with an extreme opinion - on either side - who think people who don’t agree with them are automatically on the other side of the argument, and that no middle ground exists.

    Could also be summed up as people with the opinion “if you’re not with me you’re against me”.

    It seems you can’t sit on the fence these days, you have to pick a side!

    As an example the assumption that if I disagree with the extreme left then I must be right wing. Or vice versa.

    Insincerity 

    Bad service

    Porky pies (rather tell the truth)

    Scammers 

    Jobsworth (not go extra mile)

    Bicycles etc. on the pavement.

    Excess packaging.

    Being patronised, underestimated or not treated with mutual respect.

    Hearing people chew and slurp  :s  

    Being told what to do (disclaimer: unless in a work-related scenario!)

    People ringing me up when I'm engrossed in a telly programme

    I could go on..  :D

    For me it has to be a lack of respect, even if you don't always get along with people, they still should be shown respect, plus it makes you the better person. Hope that makes sense. Thank you.

    Potatoes always sprout later in week or next week. (Anya were sprouting though so small in first place)

    Apple trick doesn't work.

    Sweet Potatoes last longer though.

    Another one of mine is people who are rude when they see someone with something nice, for example a sports car or a nice watch.

    I know of a few people with nice cars and they apparently attract negative comments from the public.

    Why can't you own something nice without people being rude about it?

    The persistent coo coo of pigeons, what on Earth are they saying that needs repeating so often?! Grrrr ? (especially early morning cooing!)

    I went to Kew a couple of years ago and was amazed to see so many parakeets in the trees there, I had no idea they’d become naturalised like that. Mind you our winters haven’t been that severe for some years now I suppose.

    People who make assumptions about me when they don't even know me or anything about me.
