    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.

    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.

    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.”

    People who get back to work late after lunch, then blame it on the supermarket being busy.

    Victoria Beckham's pout.

    Russell Brand and the way he rrrrrrrrroooollllllllllllssss his words.

    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.

    going into morrisons ordering a breakfast asking for scrambled egg instead of 2 fried eggs and finding i get charged extra for the scrambled egg. The manager gave me an excuse that they have to use milk and butter. this makes me laugh cos the scrambled egg was powered.

    going into pc world and wanting to buy a laptop and the sales person wanting to know what i wanted it for and on being told i'm not telling you being told they wont sell me one. there loss.

    Too bad. He can blame it on a stack buffer overflow.




    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!

    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

    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!

    Actually, it does allow a badge holder to park for up to three hours on double yellows.

    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.

    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.

    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
