People who lose all awareness of others in supermarkets and just stand there.

People who leave their trolley in the middle of the aisle in a supermarket

The watery bit in a tomato sauce bottle when you forget to shake it.

The use of AA and AAA batteries when we have Li-Ion batteries.

People who don't thank you when you've quite blatantly held the door for them.

People who don't give you a thank you wave when you've let them drive past at your inconvenience.

People who give way when they're not supposed to. Silly old bat/sod.

That felt good!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

So to summarise...people. People annoy me. The general public.

 

Have you had a bad day??

Val

 

I like the General Public



Saw them live a few years back

 

Sunday noise! Neighbours that find hammers, hedgetrimmers and anything else mechanically noisy to use on a Sunday, especially first thing. I'm not religious but it would be nice to have one peaceful day a week!​

 

People who are in front of you on an escalator, who when they get to the top/bottom, decided to just stop for a while. I shamelessly admit that I've actually barged a few out of the way rather than allowing them to cause a pile up with me at the front.

4x4s so badly parked that they occupy 2 parking bays. You've arrived somewhere popular, you can't believe your luck, there's a parking space. Then on closer inspection you find there is only half a space because some plonker has just thrown down their vehicle without any consideration for others. If I was the ticket inspector, I'd do them all. They may well have paid and displayed, but only for one space, and not the other one they've occupied.

All forms of inconsiderate people.

I used to share this view before I became a dad. Then one day having said something just like this, my mate (also not a parent at the time) asked me if I use the roads, if my bins get collected, if I've ever need the police, fire or ambulance services, and if I'd ever been to school. So I've used things that are paid for out of taxes. A parent will have paid their taxes too, and they may not have used some of the services I have, so they may equally ask why should they pay for this, that or the other. Then we have to think about what would happen if we, as taxpayers, didn't invest in the kids. No schooling means you get a generation of unskilled, unemployable people. Businesses suffer, your pension value drops.
