Hello Harry......I don't think there is much that irritates me.......but I am sure there are things.....

ones that get to me are those who try and get money by suing companies for stupid things.....

like this man who tried to sue because he slipped on a grape in the car park......he was after £300,000.......stupid beggar should have taken more care......

another was army personnel getting money for RSI, and I mean a lot of money......whereas that poor chap whose face was really bady disfigured by burning was given a pittance......so unfair.....

People who make a statement but make it sound like a question

People who walk across you or won't get out of your way, even when they can see you are on crutches (I'm not now but it was like that when I was)

My colleague who reads her emails out loud, and the replies...drives me nuts because I keep thinking she's talking to me while I'm trying to get on with what I'm doing..

MP3 players on buses played too loudly, that constant 'shhhp shhhp shhhp shhhp' grrrr

I ger irritated by people who don't use their knives and forks correctly, and eat "American style", using the fork like a spoon.

Who said that? lol

People who call me to give and order and tell me what they want at twice the speed of sound, expecting me to have already found their detailsbefore I pick up the phone.

TW mum doesn't have that problem... her ringtone is a moo... so when her phone goes we tell her it's mooing IT's still amusing three months later lol.

Another irritation... people parking in disabled bays when there's nothing wrong with them and/or they don't have a blue badge. Adding to that... disabled bays that are further away from the entrance than ordinary bays. And disabled bays that are close but not wider than normal bays so are hard to get out of the car.
