[Dopamine1979]

That sounds very unpleasant RPC. Did she at least apologise?

Just another sign of a society that has lost sight of good manners, sorry to hear about your experience. Regrettably people take it out on each rather than the train service providers who charge some of the highest costs in Europe if not the world and provide possibly the poorest service.

The chef James Martin, Saturday Kitchen. His bracelet. Makes my blood boil for some reason.

No. No one showed they'd noticed either, though one kind woman later offered me a tissue as mine had clearly disintegrated.

The neighbours' dog that has been barking constantly since I woke up early this morning. Still going strong four hours later.

You should have complained loudly about her bad behaviour and stressed your difficulty in standing, then told her not to ask for sympathy if and when she herself found it more difficult to stand. I find her kind of selfishness and rudeness absolutely appalling (gawd, I'm beginning to sound like Prince Charles, not exactly my favourite person!)

My grouse for today - the fat 20 something woman who crashed into me while staring at her bloody smartphone and then told me to look where I was going. Yes, that woman in Melbourne Grove at about 9am today, you know who you are.

When someone doesn't pick their feet up high enough when walking and the result is a scraping sound on the concrete mid stride. Usually women in heels or some form of dress shoe.

Neighbours constantly barking dog.

Bins reserving parking space. Neighbours again. (and if a little note was sent or visit to warn me they had a delivery and needed the space then I would be fine about it)

online quote services where you fill in the details then they say they don't do quotes by phone, email or internet and need to book an appointment ie they have to get their salesmen in your house.

When you strolled to work in a short sleeved shirt in the sunshine and then it starts pissing it down with a thunderstorm in the afternoon.

Posters who can't even be bothered to read a thread properly but will still pipe up with a question answered in the first post in the thread. e.g 'I informed the police'.......a few posts later 'Did you report it to the police?'

And, comparing human stupidity to one animal or another. How do you know what it's like to be a sheep?

At an airport everyone crowding around the luggage carousel so that no one can get their luggage easily or see when if everyone just took one pace back it would be easy for everyone. What is irrational is quite how furious it makes me everytime, even though I know it will happen and doesnt really delay you much.

[the-e-dealer]

Posters who don't look back in the thread and say things like "did you phone the Police" when they have already phoned the Police

Posters who repeat posts commenting about other posters posts.

Blush.. its worth it for a smiley from sue.

Phrases that get on my nerves: "It was like" "And I was like"

Oh and epic

The woman who whispers her lines on that advert for "Secret Escapes".

Widespread overuse of the word surreal to describe what are merely slightly unusual events.

[KidKruger]

A PictureHotse on LL, that's surreal.

Hope its not all Bruce Willy Films

[Zebedee Tring]

Description of any music artist who records a good album, or a director who makes a good film, as a "genius".

[Robert Poste's Child]

Headlines referring to an unnamed celebrity. Always means it's someone you've never heard of.
