- People who make assumptions all the time - like the saying goes - it makes an ass out of u and me. For example, you have a comfortable living, earn a good wage, so you must be a snob, or you're a hoody wearing teenager so you must be up to no good etc
- Critics of industries they have no knowledge about (now that National Express has had a coach go over, lets tell everyone how "unsafe" coach travel on double deckers is, and lets blame the driver before knowing the facts/circumstances - it could well be the drivers fault but until you know the facts, lets not blame him. :angry: :angry: Sorry but the coach industry is my industry and close to my heart)
- When your status is busy on MSN, yet people still insist on trying to talk to you - I'm busy - my status is that for a reason!!!
Yeah I am with you on this oneQuote:

no doubt I will think of more
Or moan about the youth of today and how despicable they are and how society has changed. Just because *some* teenagers are yobbish morons doesnt mean we all are.Quote:

How many people knew Jonny Wilkinson or Andrew Flintoff before they won the world cup and the ashes? Everybody just jumps on the bandwagon when it comes to winning teams. If I remember rightly, Jonny got nominated for the sports personality of the year (can't remember if he won). Didn't Andrew get nominated too? :hmm:Quote:

Oh yeah. buses. they are the bain of my life. luckily now i have a unirider so they can't charge me whatever but i hate waiting for them. i also hate when you signal and they go straight past you just because you're a little away from the stop! esepcially as at college it's a bus every half hour and a wind trap so it'd freezing!
there always late when it rains as well.
General Studies, there was a reason i dropped maths and science. It was the worst exam i have ever done.
This is purely from been Irish.. I hate people that go on about all the English been the same cause of Irish/English history and they hate ALL english people even though they dont' know any.. that annoys me so much!!! :angry::angry:
Also kids from a certain areas, speaking badly cause they say "it's the area I come from" yet their brother or sister doesn't speak with a common accent and they are from the same area
I am sure I will add on more as I remember stuff
:o Sorry.. :rotfl: It's just cause I love you so much :lol: :ninja:Quote:

gosh yeah. or here you've only got to be a teenager to be trouble. i hate that. it's really really stupid but i suppose i can see why it's like that- the minority causing problems for the majority. i wear normally something with a hood just to keep my head warm, but i always smile at old people and take it off when i go inside but still i'm a teenager so i'm going to mug you!Quote:

Something which i find personally annoying, but is unavoidable for some people, is taking double-pushchairs shopping. When i worked in my shoe shop, people came in with these prams, and knocked over everything in their wake, because they are so wide. I understand that a lot of people have no alternative, so should be able to use them, and i dont have anything against them, it just grates a bit when you spend 30 minutes tidying a shelf up, to have the contents knocked over 5 minutes later by the side of a double pram!
Personally, i would have preferred it if the parent/guardian could go with another person, who could wait outside the shop with the pram whilst they go into the shop (Though obviously that isn't always an option). I guess that brings up the issue of trust and safety, mind you, as i would prefer my shelves to be knocked over, than people have their kids abducted, of course!
I take it you are going to have none or one child, or if more you'll have a large age gap then Abs?! :p I for one am not leaving any of my kids outside whilst I go shopping..Quote:

Personally, there isn't enough room in shops these days for a single pushchair, let alone anything else, and I thought the disabled access laws were such that a wheelchair had to be able to have a clear path in shops etc??
Why do clothes shops have to block the way through from the front to the back of the shop with racks of clothes? In DP's and Peacocks you can't move for clothes racks. And why do they have to put so many clothes out that when you're looking for your size everything falls off?Quote:

Because of the amount of stock they get sent. The shops dont control what they get given, they've just got to clear the old clothes, to make space for the new clothes, as most places dont have enough storage out back. So if they put all the sizes out, youre more likely to find what you want, and buy it, therefore they'll clear their stock.Quote:

But i agree, its very annoying!
Oh now that bring me abi onto my first annoyance!!!! SHops that pile everything everywhere so pushchairs cant get through!! or wheelchairs or my hubbie who has trouble getting round on his crutches!
The way i see it is if the shop isnt big enough to cater for the hundreds of people who own double pushcairs then its tough luck if their displays get ruined :p Many times whle looking after children in double buggies or just when im on my own when connor was in his, i knocked things flying! i just leave it lying on floor!
another annoyance on the whole mummy thing, people who huff and puff if my child is making a nosie even if hes singing to himself! the disapprooving looks when connor used to have tantrums and id just leave him on the floor screaming!
People who talk to you one minute and then dont the next!
People who start msn convos and then leave without saying goodbye ( although late at night i have been known to do this :p)
NTL CUSTOMER SERVICES!!!!!!!!!!
People who assume you should know something, when you cant be a mindreader! :rolleyes:
urmmm dog poo on the pavements why cant they clean up after themselves!
my hubbies bad mood!
im sure i can add to this lots more!!
My Mates parent is a childminder, and thats exactly what she does, lol!!Quote:

A lot of shops physically dont have enough space to clear the way for them everywhere, anyway. Where i worked, we literally spent 3 hours one night, before sale started, trying to make it so there was enough space for wheelchairs to get through, but we could still get all our stuff that HQ was making us sell, out on the shop floor. It was sooo hard to figure that puzzle out, that making it so double prams could fit through too was near-on impossible.
I prefer the double prams where one baby goes in front of the other, instead of side-by-side... i saw one somewhere and thought it was more practical for shopping, though i dont know how common they are or expensive or whatever...
It annoys me when people argue with Mums in the middle of the shop. They're making a noise, so what? Thats what kids do! I can handle them singing, and shouting and screaming, so why can't the rest of the world? Whats the point in making a scene about it, its just embarressing to even see!Quote:

But any childminder or parent should be allowed to go shopping whenever they feel like it without being moaned about.Quote:

Very expensive, and have you ever tried pushing one, navigating through paths and shops with one, or tried to persuade on child to go behind the other one without there being tantrums which would also then be frowned upon by the general British public??Quote:

Not digging or anything here, but as a mother of 3, I know how it feels to be in this situation.
[QUOTE=JoJo;491838]The ones we have problems with are the ones that are larger than a wheelchair. The smaller versions aren't that bad.Quote:

Well, the idea of them i thought was pretty good, even if its not practical, lol!! I dont mind the smaller versions of the double buggies, where its the same-ish size as a wheelchair, or just a bit bigger, but its the huge ones that irritated me. The small ones fit through no problem, lol.Quote:

And unfortunately this is where the problem lies - many shops don't cater for wheelchairs/buggies in their racking positions which then causes the problems etc....Quote:

My grandfather is disabled, just to make that clear
And drivers who have to park their car right next to yours in a car park even though the car park is half empty - why right next to mine!!! :angry:
People who park across our drive, and block us in or out... Grrr..
People who go to the doctors for trivial things, where you could get Anti-Biotics from the chemist to cure it, and ease up the appointments for others.
The cold weather... i hate wearing coats and jackets....
All car park spaces should be as big as those for mothers and toddlers. No matter how empty M&S car park is and no matter how far away from the store I park as sure as hell some idiot has parked tight up beside me dented my door or scraped my paint.:angry:
Exactly Alan!! Whilst cars are getting bigger - the parking spaces are getting smaller!!! - Something is not quite right there!!Quote:

My mum always moans about parking right next to hers when car park is empty!
exactly, the road i go down to take connor to school is always full of the stuff! The amouth of times i have to shout Mind the Poo as he is running along and the amount of times ive blooming had to clear it out of shoe! Even today we had to play dodge the dogpoo as it was spread everywhere!!Quote:

I almost what to go and make connor poo in their gardens see how they like it! :D:D
We always have to play dodge the poo and it annoys the hell out of me - its not hard to clean it up - just carry a nappy sack in your pocket when you take your dog out for a walk (the worst ones responsible for doing this around me are I'm afraid the older generation - "their back hurts" etc, when I question why they've not picked it up when caught in the act)
I just found another thing that annoys me.. Why do airline ask you how many children over 2 when they are all charged adult fare anyway? what is the point!!!
I think its stupid when young children in some cases at 10 and 11 are charged at adult rates.Quote:

The way the airlines look at it is that they are occupying a seat where they could get the adult fare. They are hardly going to make any money from the Gin and Tonics that a two year old will buy.Quote:
