    That's exactly what annoys me too!!

    Also, people who work in shops that talk to their colleagues and totally ignore the customer.

    Dog owners who don't poop scoop

    Litter bugs

    Ignorance

    Rudeness

    Cyclists who aren't road aware

    On road Horse riders who aren't considerate to other road users

    Inconsiderate people

    Negativity

    The government/politics

    Religion of any sort

    I could go on but my finger is sore now! :-)

      I used to live amongst farmland, was reared amongst farmland and oh how I wish I could have that peace and quiet back. I live in a village now and I find the continuous noise gets to me, some days to the point where I have to go out to escape it!

      Dog owners who do poop scoop but then leave the plastic bag with it's putrefying contents tied to a tree/bush/railing usually at approximately the nose height of a small child. WHAT is that all about??? They are missing the point big-time and should be made to walk around with a bag of dog poop strapped to their face.


      Can you really mean that?

      Shouldn't you rather be exclaiming

      "I love dog poop non scoopers, they are so in touch with the visceral forces of nature."
      "How wonderful to see that cyclist so free from the petty rules of society."
      "That young shop assistant certainly has excellent social skills and an interesting life."
      "My finger sure is buzzing with energy now."

        Would that involve locking them up?

          Oh yes! Totally different from the annoyance, being annoyed isn't negative. I'm positive that those things in my list annoy me! :-)

            Only if they are locked up in a 4X4, preferably a BMW version ...

                Ahem. What? Well, Val, it's like this - A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

                It's a gratuitous Star Wars reference for men of a certain age. 'Jedi' was officially recognised as a religion a short while ago

                          Oh, so close. Some of the worst things on the roads. BMWs, 4x4s, and caravans. Imagine a BMW 4x4 towing a caravan.
