People who don't know the difference between:
QUEUE (an orderly line)
CUE (snooker and pool playing tool or a theatrical direction)
QUE (the Spanish word for what)
people who pick up on little mistakes who have nothing better to do with their time
* People who snore.
* Slow drivers.

People who don't work (i.e. retired people and people with small children) who wait until lunchtime and then clog up the aisles at the supermarket with prams and zimmers when those who do work are rushing round in their lunch break trying to get there shopping done.
Ban them between 12 and 2
Saint until I die - For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad.
QUE - also a freestanding gate tower (in Chinese architecture). An English word! Apologies to 'Ploughman'. Too many arguements over these spellings in Scrabble! You never forget.Originally Posted by Number 2
Either way it is not an orderly line... No apology.
People who balls up then rather than say "OK, fair cop", try to switch the blame or make out that there is no blame in the first instance.Originally Posted by worldwidesaint
Syntax error my arse.
people who want a service from you, but are to busy on their mobile phones speaking to someone "more Important"
people with sunglasses on their heads in the middle of winter

“It's been 31 years, since 1974, we last won a major (trophy and) Andrew Johns and Natty (Nathan Wood), our two oldest players were born in 1974 so it's a little bit spooky,”
There is a common trait in teams at this point in the season that they seem to sit back and wait for somebody to win the game for them. And we had too many of our players waiting for someone to win the game.”
"interfacing at the ruck"
"winning the go-forward"
"i thought we won the collision"

Victoria Beckham's pout.

Cyclists on the road at night, without lights.
People who swim across the pool and not length ways.
Cold calling sales people, either on the phone or at the front door, usually at tea time when your eating.
Daytime telly shows such as Trisha, etc, drivel.
Big Brother and all the hype, again drivel.
Middle aged men who wear wigs, if your going bald just accept it.
Drivers who don't indicate at islands.
Drivers who go around islands in the wrong lane.
Drivers who think that just because they have indicated, it gives them the right to pull out in front of you.
Drivers doing 80mph down the motorway whilst using their mobile phone.
Dog owners who don't clean up after their dog.
Shop assistants who keep trying to sell you insurance for the item you've just bought.
Enough for now.

People who use computer and internet terminology in real life.
Maybe now he will get that referring to a typing mistake as a Syntax Error just makes him look like a tosser, especially when implied that we should all know this.
A lot easier to admit to it and say "Oops, I missed off an F, silly me",
Lots (most!!) of the ones already mentioned - no wonder my kids call me Victor Meldrew..........
In addition, off the top of my head -
The way Gordon Brown drops his jaw every other sentence (used to be the way that Blair waved his hands around)
People who have a casual disregard for the law / accepted social standards, such as using a non-handsfree mobile while driving, parking in disabled car parking spaces when they clearly are not disabled (physically anyway, sure they must have some personality disorder.....)

People with disabled badges thinking they have the right to park wherever they like!Originally Posted by warringtonsaint
Loading Only means deliveries are required and space needed to deliver them, it is not an extension of parking facilites for those with orange badges
The George for match day drinks and away coaches.
Supporting us supporting Saints.
Most of the blue badge holders in st helens think it entitles them to park on double yellow lines too, lost count of the amount of times i have had to slap on behind focus (no frills) to avoid oncoming traffic due to disabled badge holders parking and narrowing the road!Originally Posted by Saint Bert
Actually, it does allow a badge holder to park for up to three hours on double yellows.Originally Posted by Beetle!
But if you need to "slap on" then you're driving too close or are not that good looking

But doesn't allow them to cause obstructions. I'm with Beetle on this: there's a difference between considerate parking on double yellow lines and dumping the car anywhere that suits.Originally Posted by alf wayliner
Well now, that's not what he said is it, he said "Most of the blue badge holders in st helens think it entitles them to park on double yellow lines too" when it does in fact entitle them to do so.Originally Posted by Number 2
What he should have said was that some people seem to think that it entitles them to park indiscriminately on double yellows, regardless of the impact on the traffic flow.
It fecking well makes my blood boil when I drive down Hall St into Church St and witness the chaos caused by inconsiderate parking by blue badge holders on a bus route so I'm in agreement.

People who park in disabled bays when they don't even have a badge. That's even worse than those that have a badge and don't have issues that would prevent them from parking elsewhere. It happens all the time at the big Londis on West End Road in Haydock.
Badge holders who park on yellow lines ( considerately or otherwise) and fling open the driver's door without a glance in the wing mirror, causing a major anchor -on and then need to take a while to actually get out of the car
