    My pet peeve has to be when people put the toilet roll on the wrobg way round i know its not important but annoys the hell out of me!

    Parents that leave there child with a runny noise vile it is feel like giving them a tissue just to point it out

    As a parent myself when a child misbehaves in public why would you let them seen a few in mid tantrum " oh its ok hunny get up dont cry dont hit mummy thats not nice" are you for real go to a parenting class!


    People who dont clean there fridge and leave stuff spilled for days food poisoning central its doesnt take that long to clean a fridge!

    ( rant over lol :) )

    People who litter.

    Absolutely disgusts me! Whenever I see any of my friends litter, I always make them pick it up (and if they don't pick it up, I myself pick it up) and throw it in the bin. It really saddens me when I'm in a place full of natural beauty which is tainted by cans of cheap larger or paper/plastic bags and other trash.

    Also when people don't or ignore to use the recycle bin properly.

    Why did you throw that out the window?

    I've no bin in my car.

    You don't have a toilet in there either. Do you crap out the window too...?

    A girl I know is forever late we used to take turns on school drop offs and collections lets just say not anymore after she was constantly late school starts at 9 she would arrive at 9.15 she even forgot to collect my daughter once I got a phone call from the school wondering where I was.

    Once I had the "pleasure" of taking a train journey in England from Guildford to Portsmouth. I was astonished to find that nobody on the train talked to each other. It was like been in a library of a very strict school.

    This doesn't happen in Ireland but can happen on the city centre busses in the morning rush hour as people are too tired and depressed about work to talk.

    No one talks to me on the train... :(

    But then I simply drive around these days. I'm too socially awkward to maintain and decent conversation with random people on public transport...

    It's probably because they dont want a mouthful of bees and flies and spiders on their toast

    I know someone who did exactly this (picked up some litter himself after asking them to do it). He got glassed and ended up spending 4 days in hospital. Be careful.

    :o Guilty. I have never been early in my life. I hate it about myself but all the threatening to cut myself off from myself and disown myself has served no purpose. I have been lectured, abused, etc. and I am still late.

    The mental image :eek:. Slugs are disgusting.

    The more accurate image involves vaseline but I changed it to butter to fit the context...

    People who try to start up a conversation on public transport during morning rush hour are possibly the worst kind of chatterboxes. It's too early in the morning, I need this entire journey to zone out, I have absolutely no interest in making small talk.
    Even if I see someone I know I'll do everything I can to pretend I haven't seen them.
