Just the modern day version of "Something for the weekend..."

Two for the price of three (and similar offers) - usually can only find the two items I want and waste so much time looking for the third.

[katie1997]

...the packaging on a certain brand of crisps. When will 'they' learn that its just not right to put cheese & onion in a blue bag or salt n' vinegar in a green one. Grrr.....

[KidKruger]

Folks that say (write) 'could of'.

[jimmy two times]

Calling service providers and being asked to type in your phone number for identification and security purposes, only to have to give it again to the real person who eventually answers when you've done this.

[saintsabrina]

Things that annoy me include, but are not limited to...Gordon Brown, 9-5, the tube in London, ROFL, LOL, LMAO, WTF etc, cash for gold gimmicks, tight elastic on underwear, people that sit on the outer seat on a bus blocking the inner one, bumping a freshly painted fingernail.

Phew, that's about it for now.

[jimmy two times]

Gordon Brown is a good man.

Likewise Trebor's Extra Strong Chewing gum which has Peppermint in green and Spearmint in blue. I keep buying the wrong one!

Speaking on behalf of Atila here : anything that is not Arsenal.

arrrrghhhhhhhh, yes.

i guess bad grammar and spelling, in the greater scheme of things, aren't such a crime- but that one really gets me.

1. people that chew gum with their mouth open (for some reason this annoys me even more than eating food with mouth open)

2. people that sit on the outside of two seats on a train, putting their (small) bag on the inside seat

People who walk in one direction while facing a completely different direction.

[jimmy two times]

You mean people who walk backwards? Yeah, that's a real bug-bear of mine as well. Can't they all walk forwards like normal people?

People who walk forwards while facing and looking sideways... and then wonder why they've walked into you/x/y/z

[jimmy two times]

What way are you looking when they walk into you?

What way am I looking? The way I'm going. Sometimes I'm stood stock still waiting for them to charge cos I can see it coming and there's nothing I can do.

Usually large blokes about twice my weight. They are the ones that never apologise for knocking you sideways.

[Jah Lush]

People who gestulate while on their mobile phones. Why? What's the point? The person on the other end of the phone can't see you.

[jimmy two times]

and why do people never stand still whilst on mobile phones? They stand still if they are usuing a phone in a phone box.

I think they mainly wander round and get in the way.

[jimmy two times]

Yes people on phones are a real hang up of mine.

Especially on public transport. Bar stewards!

[jimmy two times]

They usually get a good signal on the train when I'm around. Me sticking my fingers up at them.

[louisiana]

I hate it when you're reading on the bus and some idiot sits right next to you yacking at the top of their voice on their flippin mobile. For 30 minutes. Until their battery dies. More than once I've felt like ripping the thing from their hands.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Read out loud.

[Ann]

Good idea Peckhamgatecrasher. It sounds like I'm not the only one who has sat on an otherwise quiet bus to hear aomeone loudly giving away unbelievably personal details of their lives.

''...the packaging on a certain brand of crisps. When will 'they' learn that its just not right to put cheese & onion in a blue bag or salt n' vinegar in a green one. Grrr.....''

Don't they all do that these days? I could have sworn that when I was younger, salt n' vinegar came in blue bags, cheese & onion came in green. It makes sense. I'm sure I started picking up & purchasing the wrong ones at some point.

I also hate that people forget this is an EAST DULWICH forum. Telling me that there is a really great hairdressers in LEWISHAM is completely pointless to me. Does anybody travel that far by bus just to get their hair trimmed?

When kids are running up & down being loud/ causing a mess/a scene & the parents who spend so much time shouting 'oh stop it, Timothy! Sit down Timothy!' rather than grabbing them by the scruff of their necks & making them do exactly that. It causes a bigger scene, a bigger nuisance, a louder noise.

Especially on the first floor landing of The Surgery (The Gardens) where people are actually working next door.
