What gets on your nerves?

I get really annoyed with the term politically correct - and the way it is bandied around and used to cover everyone that disagrees with the way some people act.

In another thread I took it that I was being described as pc for saying that I wouldn't like to live in the neighbourhood of someone whose brother sounds like what we call in Scotland a total ned.

If you are having a private conversation and not shouting and yelling in the streets then what you say is private and noone should take offence.

If you are in a crowd of people and shouting racist comments EVEN TO EACH OTHER in a 'banterful' way then you WILL frighten passersby.

Fighting in the street will also alarm innocent people.

Calling people who are offended pc is often just a way to justify bad behaviour.

Political correctness should relate to silly rules devised by people who are scared of offending anyone - and often do not consult the people who are supposed to be offended, e.g. banning Christmas cards, nursery rhymes and Santa Claus.

It is not 'pc' to abhor racism, loutish behaviour and selfishness.

OAPS sorry but they drive me mental -when shopping they are always in the way or when getting served they stand there and talk about complete crap!

yet worst of all I hate when they try and talk or joke with you..I actually want to scream and tell them to bugger off A nice way of putting it is I dont know you and just cause your old does not mean I have to like or respect you

I for one hope to Die quite young-Know it sounds morbid and people could argue your only here once but be honest with yourself do you really want to get old,have a perm, wear horrid clothes and grow a hunchback? -I didnt think so

Isn't that tarring all older people with the same brush though D1? My neighbour is now 60 and she is the smartest, most intelligent, nicest people I know and definitely hasn't got a hunchback.

You may not have to like the older generation, but shouldn't we all respect everybody? I certainly respect all the people around me, what ever age they be and I bring my children up the same way.

that is very true JoJo you are right-I was on a rant and I didnt have to word it so hateful really I just went shopping and was surrounded by loads of OAPS and really had to say something hateful to feel better -wrong really

anyway I know 60 could be considered OAP I supose, but I dont think of 60 as old really

Its ok D1 - I only think at 60yr olds as being technically old as my hubby's parents both died by the time they were 60.

They can be frustrating - some of the looks I get when I'm out with my 3 boys make me feel quite dirty in a sense, but then I get that from people of any age (must be my youthful looks!!! :rotfl: :D )

I get frustrated when they are walking in front of me and I can't get past them, as I like to walk at running pace, but then I remember the Chemist is only a few more yards down the road and generally that is where they are heading lol.

I fully understand what you were saying though :)

If i hear one more word about the flipping super casino, Its not going to built till 2010, whats the big deal.

And today TRAFFIC LIGHTS !!! and Traffic Jams Argh. It took 2 hours to go about 2 miles down the A6. Talk about a joke. All because the lights werent working.

I know this sounds odd but in public I dont give anyone eye contact for this reason

yes I avoid the chemist if I can -I only go if I am told by the doctor "if you dont go you will Die so get your tablets now!" when I first bout an Ipod I was in a chemist and I had the earphones in but No music was playing and this old lady told me to turn it down.:searchme:

chemists are creepy -not the boots one I mean the plain chemist shops (maybe just the ones I have been to) theres always some guy round the back with his assistant and they seem to take pleasure in your pain -"AH you have the Flu do you here you go try this...." and they give you the most disgusting stuff EVER!the guy Im thinking of anyway is like a mad professor

cant imagine buying a pregnancy kit or something from there because I dread to thnk what they will say I think it would be like" this is our most accuarate test in 9 months if your water breaks then your most likely pregnant!" :rotfl:

anyway when did this became an anti-chemists thread :lol:

I have never thought that about chemists but you are absolutly right. also when if i ever go to the doctors on my own. The looks are unbelievable, anyone would have thought i had gone in a threatened to rob theplace. And thats off everyone. I have never thought about it till now.

not being funny but church is another place where get evils you might think THE house of god..never

but its true Some people think that religeon is only reserved for people like themselfs so its usually annoying when they see me pop along every now and again!

or maybe they think I have done something VERY bad either way still get evils

another thing I hate is on holiday resorts is people that moan at you for making noises in the pool while their sunbathing -If I splash you fair dues you have every right to moan but its un called for to tell people to keep it down in the pool..some of us dont spend £1000's just to lie down in the sun all day long we came for a break away to enjoy ourselfs :p


god Im letting it all out now

And breathe..............:p

I agree about the religious peeps...sometimes churchie peeps have that air of superiority about them. Hey we all came from Adam and Eve...(unless you believe in the big bang) so get over yourself. Had neighbours like that. As my brother says..the closer to the alter the more they falter!!!:rotfl: Amen.
