Kids cycling at great speed on pavements on their two wheel kiddicycles, nearly knocking me over while their parents are jabbering away on their mobiles, totally oblivious to what their "little ones" are doing.


Parents talking on their phones on buses/trains, ignoring their toddlers who, not surprisingly, are bawling at the top of their voices.

Yep 2 of my pet hates

People who try their oyster or travel ticket at a train station exit, only to find it doesn't work and then try to push in front of the person in line for the next exit gate. When the person they've tried to push in front of kicks off, they looked stunned and suprised

I dunno, they've queued up and served their time, those gates are fickle creatures, why be condemned to the back of a different queue becusae of the vagaries of technology, I reckon they're entitled to a pop at the adjecent one.

if that doesn't work then go see staff.

Self-service check-outs at shops and staff of those shops who are too gullible (or stupid) to realise that those bloody machines are very likely to deprive them of their jobs. If a staff member asks me whether I want to use one of the machines, I say "Will you give me a 10% discount if I use it? If not, I want some service from a human being."

I hate them. "Unexpected item in the bagging area" every single time, even if there is nothing there. And if you lift your bag up to adjust things they say it too. I would have listed them as a pet hate here, but I don't think my rage is irrational!

Another one for people who want to talk at the top of their lungs in a quiet carriage. Got train from Manchester on a Sunday, half empty train, two blokes choose to sit in quiet carriage talking so loudly whole carriage old hear them. Despite us all looking at each other rolling our eyes due I was the only one who had a very polite word...then they looked at me like I was being unreasonable!! The clue is in the name 'quiet'...

So with you on that one Louise. And the conductors/ticket people do sod all about it.


Mind you, on First Great Western they blast stupid announcements about the buffet car into the quiet carriage after EVERY station, complete with the ultra-annoying 'bing-bing-BONG' at the start and end.

Claudia Winkelman's white lipstick.


(yup i hate those noisy feckers that have discussion in quiet carriages too. in fact, anyone that breathes in the Quiet carriage should be shot. its actually less stressful and more peaceful to travel in a non-busy 'normal' carriage. there's always a mounting air of tension in the Quiet coach as more and more people get on the train).

People with STUPID LOUD ringtones, who when their phone rings (on the train or bus) look at their stupid phone for what seems like ages, then wait a bit and then answer them. What's this for? to create an air of "Oh i'm way to busy to be answering my phone right now" No you stupid fat headed numpty, you're sitting there doing sweet F.A, so answer your stupid FLIPPING PHONE and turn off the STUPID RINGTONE while your at it


"I'm on d'bus/train"


Heaven help us/me

So called left/liberal celebs who are bloody hypocrites. E.g. Bono complaining that governments aren't spend more money on aid and then salting his dosh away in a tax haven. Er, Bono ... where do you governments get the money in the first place? Also Trudie Styler, environmental campaigner, flying to a party by private jet with personal hairdresser etc from New York to Washington and accusing people who criticised her of "class envy".


For the benefit of doubt, I consider myself to be left of centre.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
