    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...

    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.

    One of my main pet peeves is bad grammar and spelling. Written communication is still communication, the aim is to communicate your thoughts/feelings/problems/whatever to someone else.
    Yet some people will treat it in a way that makes it a real chore if not almost impossible for the recipient to decipher the meaning of their message. I find that rude in the extreme.
    You don't go through life mumbling half-words and incomplete sentences at other people and expect to be understood, so why do it when writing?

    As for what makes my skin crawl, spiders.

    I have... what I found is that they only employ this method of pretend-communication towards people they dislike. If you ever listen to them talk to their friends, they suddenly are capable of perfect expression.

    Fellas that will go to the bathroom in work and not wash their hands afterwards (especially after no2's) and touch the same door handle that I have to use!!

    Why people would not want to wash their hands is totally beyond me.

    I actually find your post "rude in the extreme" and very insulting.

    Some people have spelling difficulties (dyslexia), and therefore struggle with spelling and grammar and it can't always be helped. Me being one of them people. I'd be fcuked without spell check:o

    :mad:
