automated diallers that always seem to ring when your taking a bath or using the toilet and dont actually say anything when you answer.

Unable to walk to the shop - need the aid of a wheelchair or sticks , Why then does a parent with children need to park near to the shop ? Unless they are disabled of course ?

A slight inconvenience for the parent having to carry a small child or baby a short distance surely cannot be compared with the difficulty a disabled person will encounter at the supermarket ?

The spaces also have hatched areas each side of the space. This is to allow easier access to the vehicle with a pram,pushchair, baby chair etc so the fact they are nearer to the shop is only half the purpose of them.

No it's not and I wasn't comparing...I was kind of hoping you'd grasp the principal yourself but with you not having a baby or being a parent you aren't in a position to compare.

This demonstrates much assumption ! I have three children - at one time they were all under 3 and only one of them was walking ! Despite this I still do not agree with parent and child only parking spaces and think spaces near to the shop should be allocated to disabled people only . How much extra space does anyone need to get a child out of a car for goodness sake ! I manage to park in a normal parking space and get all 3 children out without too much trouble.

Well done...all the more parent and child car parking spaces for everyone else.
Car parks are designed with a minimum number of disabled space requirements and seeing as they are hardly ever full (of disabled drivers) I can't see your point. Disabled spaces near the shop ARE allocated sufficiently so no-one is missing out anyway.

Apologies for the assumption :thumbsup:

people who act like gods gift just because they are more senior in the workplace

newsreaders who don't pronounce things properly ie Mel - borne it should be prounounced Mel-Bin. And then there is the word muslim why do some newsreaders pronounce it muslum.

Bus drivers who virtually break their neck when turning away from your line of vision to avoid seeing you when you are running for a bus

People who have obviously been at the bus stop for a few minutes and don't have their fare ready for when they get on.

Kids who know they have to have their ruddy bus pass ready to get a concession fare, and waste our time digging around in a bag for it.



People on the moor and fargate who try and trap you into answering a questionaire


People who whinge that they haven't go enough to live on as they stand in their Nike shoes smoking their expensive fags, and complain that they don't get enough from the dole. Yet if you ask them what jobs they have gone for they say, they haven't had time.

Parents who slap their kids on the head or face

Parents who ask their kids to pack it in or do you want a slap. feel like saying 'oh yes please'

People who whinge about their job but do nothing to make the situation better, like considering another job.

Yep, pretty damned irritating those, Ellybum. I'd add litter droppers to the list
and in particular bone-headed parents who see their children drop litter and don't correct them. That makes me seethe.

Oh, and the brain-dead morons who turn left at the junction of Middlewood road onto Bradfield Road. I've seen this happen several times over the past couple of months. The other day I was crossing there with two children (the 'green man' was on) and a car did exactly that. I yelled ''You can't turn left there you pinhead'' - the car, occupied by four young men slowed down and a back seat passenger openened his door and shouted ''Do you want us to come and kick your effing head in?''
I retorted with a ''No'' and a cheery wave....

People who wait in a queue to get to the bar on a busy night and then turn around to their mates asking all five of them what they want individually. :loopy: Not only have they made the queue bigger by bringing all their mates with them but they're holding the queue up by messing about asking when they could've just brought one mate with them to help them carry.

It's alot funnier on the bar side though because you just move onto someone who does actually know what they want and ignore the idiot who just wasted yours and everyone elses time. ;)

Ignorant people who answer their mobiles whilst at the check -out or at the till in the bank. Just all brainless morons who can't be non-contactable for any reason because it makes them feel important really.

This happens to me all the time in Borders: The shop is on two levels; most non-fiction, DVDs, CDs and Starbucks are upstairs. I can guarentee that every time I walk down the stairs to the lower floor, I'll be behind a parent with a toddler who'll be slowly inching their way down, step by painful step. The parent will turn around and smile indulgently, as if to say 'aw, isn't this just the most lovely thing you've ever seen? I'm teaching my child to walk down stairs in public.'

Please. Pick the child up and carry it. That way you won't have a queue of pished off folk behind you just itching to drop-kick the child out of the way.

Bit of a strange one, but I hate it in films or TV shows (and the Simpsons is the only one I can think of at the moment) when they show something from an insect's point of view, and what you actually see is fifty tiny images of the scene, which I am assuming is supposed to reflect the fact that insects have compound eyes.

It annoys me each and every time, because that's not how insects see at all. Compound eyes doesn't mean compound vision, if that makes sense.

People who are angry at the world and have an enormous chip on their shoulder and use this as an excuse to have a go at anyone they choose.

I came across this today when doing a gas service in a certain area of Sheffield. When I told the lady (if she can be called that) that her washing machine would have to be moved in order for me to reach and turn off her gas meter so I could test for gas leaks she exclaimed 'Oh COME ON! and saw this as an opportunity to start ranting and raving about how useless my employer is and that everytime we come something goes wrong. :loopy: When I told her that there was no need to have a go at me because I was only doing my job she replied with 'Whatever!' I gave her a letter with her next appointment on it so that she could have the washer moved to provide access the next time we came around and left the property saying 'Have a nice day'. She came to the door and shouted 'F**k off' followed closely by 'Drop dead' :loopy: :loopy: :loopy:.

When she originally opened the door I couldn't help but notice the way she was dressed. Piercings through the eyebrow and lip, black jumper with some form of satanist symbol on it and a very grumpy expression on her face. Usually on encountering the alternative dresser I find that they tend to be very relaxed and friendly people who are just into the music/dress code and are interesting people to chat to. Clearly this bad missy (single for a reason) wanted to fit the evil stereotype properly. :suspect:

I think Dozey was making the same point as I was ... pronouncing the 't' in the words like someone who's just learning to talk ... you know as in artisan's example Jensen But-ton, and men-tal, bot-tel, hospi-tal. The funniest thing I ever heard was a young girl, taking the thing to the extreme, who actially told me she'd hurt her "an-tal" :D The 't' in these words isn't pronounced as 'k' but it isn't used to start the following syllable either ...

Not 'hospikkle' or 'bokkle' but not 'hospi-tal' or 'bot-tel' - you must know what I mean :) "You're men-tal"!

The people who talk in this fashion also seem to be unable to pronounc the 't' in words where it's actially emphasised ... so you get 'wa'er'. 'bu'er'. 'bu'ler'. 'To'ley'

It's just wrong, and very irritating :D

I haven't reread the thread, but I think I posted something about pronouncing the 't' in 'hospital'. Am I missing something? Should it not be pronounced? There's also a 't' in mental. It isn't a silent 't', so it's pronounced. Are you talking about overemphasising the 't'? I've never come across that. Is this a Sheffield thing that I've forgotten about/never knew? :huh:

People who talk over you and don't listen to a word you are saying.

That drives me mad, especially when they interrupt you mid-sentence (like their voice is more important) and then you lose track of what you were saying in the first place. :mad:

I am just back from Meadowhall and cannot believe the number of pram pushers who just stop right in front of you, even they dont seem to know why they have done it.
We should have pram pusher and old gimmer only shopping days once a week to take some of the strain from our shopping trips.

Shopkeepers serving you whilst on the phone. It makes me so mad I feel like stepping the exchange up to a robbery.

What irritates me beyond belief?

why people think it's acceptable to touch pregnant women's bellies. the first time someone did this to me - it was someone i don't like, which was bad enough - i was so stunned at the invasion of my person that i just stood there open mouthed while one of my friends stood there with her hand over her mouth in horror, fully expecting me to slap the girl. i'm just not a physical contact sort of person.

i mean, do i try to touch fat blokes' beer guts? NO.

agreed, although i might add that it drives me nuts that i walk faster laden with shopping bags, screaming sprog and pushchair, than a good 80% of people without similar drawbacks do, and it's often very difficult to overtake people on pavements when you have a pushchair. oddly, old people seem much more aware of people with pushchairs than anyone else - it can be quite hard when you have a pushchair to get anywhere as there's an awful lot of people who think it's easier for you to get off the pavement to avoid a lamp post than it is for them to just not walk 3 abreast. that said, i do agree that women with pushchairs should ahve to take a pushchair pushing test and a theory test similar to a driving test.

I ALWAYS hold the door open for the next person to come through (within reason, I dont have all day) and I have found women with pushchairs are the most likely to not thank you. This however wont stop me being polite, not like the turd I saw earlier knowingly let the door close on a young woman with one child in a pushchair and one strapped to her chest.
This teenage scrote knew what he had done and grinned as he walked past, even though he was on his own and not trying to impress his scrote mates.

i always say thank you! it's amazing how many people can walk past someone struggling with crutches/pushchair/wheelchair without opening doors etc, so i find it really really nice when people do - hence always thanking them and giving them a really really big smile, like this one - :D.

the scrote you saw was probably the one that pushed me out of the way so he could get to the seat on the bus that was vacated for me (at 36 weeks pregnant) before me. i consoled myself with the knowledge that he'll probably die in a really unfortunate minimoto accident involving himself, a power kite, and a passing 747.

agreed. i find it really amusing when people make the show of being in such a desperate hurry that they then have to break into a trot for 10 yards to make up the lost 3 seconds once they're past you. honestly people, i'm not trying to hold you up, but you can be polite about trying to get past ('excuse me, please', for instance) rather than use the amusing huffing and muttering!

A wife who leaves a horrible smell behind as she walks through M&S with you, and women look at look at you as if to say "It's a man...It must be him that f**ted". Then when you catch up with her, she claims "it just came out" - not that we are allowed to get away with that for an excuse!

People who blame womens bad moods on PMT, its got nothing to do with it, just when its the time of the month you get hotter, feeling more irratable and therefore are not as patient to tolerate irritating males!!!!

Oh thank you! thank you!!

I've been meaning for a few days now to start a thread on things that get on my wires and here's one for me!!!

Havent read all the way through yet so if anything is repeated do forgive moi.

Here's some of my top few. No doubt I will add others as I continue to be wound up on a regular basis.

1. Crossing/lollipop person on a pelican crossing!!! What's that about then?? Surely that type of crossing doesn't need one? I can think of plenty of other places that do. So why do some schools have no warden on a very busy road yet others have a warden on a pelican crossing??

2. Cyclists who mount the pavement and become pedestrians at traffic lights or when they cant get along the road. Can I do that in my car too then? :rant:

3. Drivers who pull out in front of you at the last minute then dawdle! At least have the nonce to get some acceleration up if you have caused me to brake cos you couldnt wait!

4. Loop systems on practically every telephone call I make to a business these days. Might do one for my phone at home to annoy them back

"Thank you for calling Msb Mansions. To speak to a member of the household press one. To try and sell us your product or service whilst we are in the middle of a meal press two. To hang up and not say what you wanted at all press three. To leave an annoying recorded message press 4....."

5. And when I DO have to phone the bank for example - when the call centre person takes my name, surname, sort code, bank acct details, numbers from my pin, dd details and refuses to give me any more than their first name when I have a complaint!!! Thats to you 'James' at Nat West Lending Centre in Brighton!:rant:
