30 minutes!? Tapes!? Gosh, one would need to plan some time in advance for that.

When wearing lycra I normally go for the full 180 - is this sooo wrong?

[Moos]

You don't

mess with the Carnell?

[david_carnell]

Quite. But my pubic hair isn't on my head a la Sandler!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Being in a very long queue at the till and having to wait while the people in front are surprised that they have to pay for their goods and at that point start looking for their purse/wallet.

[Jah Lush]

Good one PGC. The same goes for people who do that when they get on the bus and fumble around trying to find their money or pass. Idiots!!!

[citizenED]

on/off buttons on mobile phones. Bee-jaysus.

[FluffyGalore]

The number 40 bus - the recording of that woman with nasal voice announcing at each and every flipping bus stop, "BUS STOPPING AT NEXT BUS STOP, PLEASE STAND CLEAR OF DOORS".

I can't decide if it's 1) her nasal whine, 2) her stating of the utter obvious, or 3) the fact she has omitted a "THE" before "doors" that upsets me the most.

I have not ventured on that bus for over a year now because I used to twitch for hours after hearing her dulcid tones...

[Ted Max]

I think those announcements are only there to remind the driver to crash the brakes on in 50 yards' time.

[Ant]

I've always thought she sounded rather like one of the receptionists at the Dulwich Medical Centre.

[David Mc]

For me it's the missing "the"!

[chuff]

why my cat thinks it's ok to stand in front of my computer monitor watching the cursor with it's arse in my face

why it always chucks it down on the school run

why do I always want to eat cake when I know it makes me fat

why do I always find a cold, wet, heavy sponge thing in the kitchen sink and have to squeeze it dry euugh

why is the bloody shoe shop in the village always rammed when I go in there

why are there slugs

oh i have so many that I have become one

Security gaurds in Boots, Fleet Street and Tesco Metro in ED.

I am not a thief, but every time I walk into these shite holes the security guards seem to jump into action and proceed to follow me round the frigging shop.

When I started to follow THEM about the shop they go all hot under the collar. What is it with these people?

Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes Mad World, security always follows me around in Boots. Always. Makes me nervous.

[MadWorld74]

phew! I start to act shifty when they go into their 'Sweeney' mode. Maybe we should go in to the shop together one day, giggirl and really play with them.

[giggirl]

Oh yes let's hit Boots together one day. Mine is the Kingsway branch just opposite Holborn Tube.

I don't have a problem anywhere else - just Boots.

[Keef]

People that just stop in the middle of the pavement for no apparent reason. And people that like to have a chat in the supermarket isles, and tut you because you want the item in the fridge they have sat up camp at!

[MadWorld74]

Americans...

Hey, that's me. Careful Keef, I've barely had a chance to recover from that pop you had at the Pixies.

I don't tut people in the supermarket though (God bless Ocado).

[Asset]

incorrect use of apostrophes hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, sorry.

[Steph]

The person who brushes their obviously very matted jet black hair in the changing rooms (Fusion every Monday, first thing) and leaves it all over the floor for the rest of us to get tangled up in. Please stop, it?s making me go insane.

Also men who can't cross the road properly.

[SteveT]

Deaf parents, who permit their offspring to scream continuously for attention, whilst ignoring their psycho-decibel brats in our supermarket.

People who get on buses and trains and insist on eating pungent food which stinks the whole place out 10 stops after they have left.

People er slobs who travel on public transport who are nasally challenged, and cannot detect that they need a bath/shower or wash.

Ignorant self absorbed back packers, who attempt to rip your face off with said pack, when turning in the isles of buses trains etc.

Gits who bellow loudly when they are standing/sitting/walking next to each other, when we can hear them across the road, supermarket carpark, or airport runway.

[Steph]

Oh yeah and The White Stuff..that shop plays on my mind every day I pass it and I don't even know why!!
