What gets on your nerves?

Another thing that annoys me is when a tv program ends at a place I really dont want it too. Once I got so annoyed I threw the remote at the Tv and broke the TV.

or you're a hoody wearing teenager so you must be up to no good etc

I forgot about that one! So many people stereotype teenagers, it's ridiculous! I wear hoodies, and sometimes people just look at you as if your a thug. When i go into shops with my friends at my local shopping centre, we always get followed round to check we don't knick anything, it's ridiculous.. And there was a thing on banning hoodies i remember at one point, a ridiculous idea..

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!

Ohhh and another one:

Young single parents, who immediately apparently got pregnant on purpose just to get a council place - another example of tarring with the same brush again!

And then they parade round the street with their bare bellys exposed and a cigarette hanging out of their mouths

Although thats not everyone. Some maybe, but others could well have been on the pill or using other forms of contraception, when in a long term relationship when it happened to them and felt they had to hide away from everyone because of all of the accusing looks etc that were received.

Which brings me on to another one:

Every man woman and dog thinking its ok to put their hand on your belly just because you are pregnant!!

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?! I for one am not leaving any of my kids outside whilst I go shopping..

What if you are a childminder?? If you are minding children under 4 are you supposed to not ever go shopping during the week when its quieter and are only allowed to go at the weekend in that case??

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?

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.

Its a stupid rule, and sales are the worst, but if Head Office doesn't stop sending products, then you can't stop putting more and more stuff out...

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 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 )
NTL CUSTOMER SERVICES!!!!!!!!!!
People who assume you should know something, when you cant be a mindreader!

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!!
