Come the (GN) revolution, the following will be banned or severely dealt with!

People my sister who puts on a silly posh voice to impress, when she never normally talks like that !

Almost all buzz words but especially starting a sentence with the word so!
Automated phone lines and having to scroll through lots of options before getting a human being! I especially hate those that ask you to give a brief reason for your call when actually it’s complicated!
Lack of proper disabled access almost everywhere
Southern Rail ?
Xenophobes and racists
Cyclists on the pavement wizzing past and especially if they ring their bells to order you to leap out of their way
Employers who make their jobs those cruddy zero hour contracts
Bad landlords who over charge youngsters on rent but don’t do repairs and no one dare complain for fear of being evicted!
All the office workers who park all day in my road!
Car drivers who don’t indicate left but assume pedestrians waiting to cross are mind readers!
Changing rooms in clothes shops with those hideous mirrors!
Being served silly tiny drizzle food on pieces of slate/granite and charged a fortune
Cafes that hardly offer any vegetarian options
Snooty shoppers in Waitrose?
Daily Mail ?

Those bliddy fiendish little plastic tags that hold pairs of socks/gloves etc together or just hold on a price tag. Why do the T-shaped ends so often get snagged in the fabric and pull threads? Or, alternatively, go flying across the room and are nowhere to be found until the next time you're walking barefoot?

Your computer starts updating - just when you're in a hurry to print off your tickets. Then the printer's out of ink.

Thinking you've charged your phone and finding it's not even been plugged in properly.

Opening the dishwasher and fogging up your glasses.

That tissue in the washing machine that someone's left in a pocket.

Wanting a wee just as you're nodding off.

Parking meters that don't give change.Really? In this day and age?
Supermarket self scan tills that do give change.In 2p's!

Dolcelatte and Jenpax, I so agree about automated phones. Our doctor`s surgery has recently merged with the one next door, and have entirely changed how things are done. I rang up today, had to listen to recorded messages from 5 different voices and press 3 different buttons before I got to speak to an actual human being, GRRRR!!!!

Plastic packaging that takes ages to get open.
Supermarket self scan tills.
The new, much worse and constantly changing train timetables.
Opening the oven and fogging up your glasses.
Small fiddly buttons on clothes.
Overheated shops.

Basically I literally die when I like listen to some young people like saying actually nothing even though they are like basically talking, literally.

?? janemar!

janemar I was behind a young person in a supermarket queue recently and heard her say to get friend " and like, when he said that,I literally exploded"

- and the ones who are seen in Sainsbury's with blue legs, sandals with socks on and t-shirts in December -cool or what?

Emails that ask for feedback. On things bought and experiences . One health food shop asks for feed back every time we go in. I always write.
Went in. Bought something. Came out

I expect they really value that.

People who suck the life out of everything

Snobbery / Inverted Snobbery

The size of plane seats

Reclining plane seats , especially when you have a drink or food on your tray.

Going to the dentist.

Crisp packets annoy me too shirleyw on train journeys. Rustle, rustle, crunch, crunch, rustle. Drives me mad, along with all the smell, prawn, cheese and onion, salt & vinegar all at the same time.

I did once sit near a young woman in the quiet coach of a train, Marthjolly1, who actually sucked her crisps silently. It was very impressive.

People who are critical all the time. Let's enjoy life.

Phoenix you've really opened the floodgates here.
Can I add 'hedgehogs', people who don't trim their hedges which end up blocking half the street.
People who let small children take up a seat on the bus or tube while adults have to stand instead of sitting the child on their laps.

maggiemaybe yes that is impressive. I always book in the quiet coach so everything does sound loud. Especially crisps!

Yes! to most of the above.

Plus, loopyloo your idea of a multi-bank shop is brilliant!

1. Not using indicators, especially on roundabouts

2. Men wearing hats indoors, particularly in restaurants (they are usually baseball caps)

3. People talking loudly on trains and in restaurants, whether or not using mobile 'phones

4. Mothers swearing loudly at their children in the street

5. TV announcers using plural verbs for singular subjects e.g. England were doing well.

6. Cats jumping onto lap when I am trying to post, making it take twice as long

Hooray! A thread that hasn't (so far) become contentious or argumentative!

(Would still put scratchy labels at the top of the list though, closely followed by any thing that counted as bad manners!)

Brilliant thread phoenix I am now really mad at stuff I didn’t even realise I was mad at.

Gosh, some of you have cyclists with bells. The ones round here don't seem to have heard of such an invention.
And, yes , thanks phoenix, lovely thread.

Tweedle24, whenever I phone my friend her cat starts to make a fuss and wants to be let out and when I dog sit for my son if anyone phones he jumps up and tries to sit on my lap, fortunately he is small. So will add to my list:

Attention seeking moggies & mutts.
