Do you have any? ? Once again today I was using Morrison's circular swing doors and found myself wishing they'd go quicker.

I'm a pensioner, all the time in the world, so - let's just say I,m irrational.

What irritates you, apart from people who make silly postings.

Happy days

Caz, LOL I feel your pain, hun. I've always said mum. But just recently have found myself being corrupted *sobs & frets* I now have to mentally stop myself.

Save me from the "mam" culture. I think I'll stick with 'mummy and daddy' PMSL

I daren't say what irritates me as it will probably cause the thing that irritates me LOL.

People who don't use their car indicators or use them incorrectly drives me batty.

Cyclists who either don't have lights at all or have the wrong lights on.

Mum asking "what are we having for tea" every day for the last 3 years LOL. And then turning her nose up at suggestions.

People in shops who block aisles to stop to have a natter and then pretend they can't see you there.

People who park across dropped pavements designed for people in wheelchairs to get up and down.

People who park ON the pavement or on the opposite side of a street that's only wide enough for one car to get along.

People cutting across your garden as if it was a thoroughfare.

I could go on LOL.

Victoria Meldrew here - people who keep saying "absolutely" when they just mean "yes", people saying "at this moment in time" when they mean "now".
People chewing gum incessantly - Alex Ferguson springs to mind on this one.
People who belch - hate it
People who don't acknowledge the fact that you;ve held a door open for them
Drivers who fail to acknowledge that you've given way for them
Drivers still using mobiles while driving
So called fashionistas who go round with bare midriffs that should have a health warning stamped on them
Face piercings, particularly tongues and lips
Tattoos
and on and on and on!!!!!

Oh god... Ann the midriff one... I was tramatised by one the other day while we were out for dinner (so double the tramatisingness) from the back was bad enough... stretch marks and muffin top on view for the world when she turned round you could see her scar from her caesarian... all puckered and flabby and why do people think they look good like that?!

I just grossed myself out remembering lol.

Lol Liz, you know just what I mean and I bet you are intensely irritated by the state of our road system in Barrow at the moment. That one way is a nightmare, its how we get to work and where the new B and Q is being built had a bit of the road closed this morning, made us 15 mins late for work.


Will PM later btw,

Perfectly healthy people near me who drive to the shop.....it's all of 3 mins away and you wouldn't believe how many get in their cars. it actually takes longer in a car cause there is a short cut on foot. Lazy beggars.

I could get irritated with so much but have learnt to settle right down. After all the only one whose blood pressure will rise would be mine, what's the point? lol

men who have gone bald on top but let one side of their hair grow long and sweep it over - how daft is that - men can look really good when they go bald - but a long flapping side piece is gross

Oh, Caz, don't get me started on the state of our roads and the new system today... we went to the owl and pussycat on sunday and even though it was quiet it was ridiculous... and what's with all the traffic lights? It just wasn't necessary. Should imagine it adds time to your journey to work and the college must have issues with the main road running down ironworks road now... that road wasn't designed for heavy traffic and how are the garages going to have their new cars delivered?

Its so bad my nephew had a survey on it as their homework this week LOL.

So yeah, that irritates me a lot!
