    **** em. My phone is a 30 quid flip phone. Smart phones are pretty handy but not essential.

    "Ya, I don't have a smart phone and yes I'm capable of holding a concurrent conversation for more than 10 minutes. Are you?"

    Shopkeepers who tell you how crap a neighbouring shop is "ah they never clean the keyboards in there". In this case, the neighbouring shop has cheaper internet pc rates. Also, the keyboards were clean the last time I used one.

    Thinking that boards is an endless feedback facility for behind - back complaints about Facebook friends that they themselves obviously accepted as friends.

    People who post "who cares" in the comments section of an article, if they don't care what did they post on it for.

    Actually, people who use awful abbreviations for Nitrous Oxide. Just call it Nitrous. Even Laughing Gas! But good god, not "Nos" or "Nox".

    Doubtful they'd have the mental capacity to consider gases of any kind.

    I sent a telegram to a friend (with a smartphone), gave them my login details, and asked them to post messages.

    It's that simple.

    When I see spelling mistakes in people's posts on Facebook. No punctuality, just one very very long sentence. It can be very confusing trying to read that crap. Those people are just idiots.

    Text speak. If you are over 14, and use this nonsense, you are a fool.

    People who eat with their mouths open.

    People who stick the nose of their cars out of junction so you have to go out around them.

    People, when turning left out of a garage across a busy road just pop out, block the left lane whilst the lane they want to go into is full of traffic so they block the entire lane you're in. Don't pull out until themes room / a gap to do so!

    People who stop in ASL's.

    People who say 'we should go for tea/ drink' when you both know you never will. It's insincere, why say it? 'See ya, bye' or just 'good luck' does the job fine.

    People who claim to have everything happen to them. No matter what you say they'be had the same or worse. Eg.' A shyte I'm after cutting my hand' them: 'my hand fell off last week. You need to do/put x, y, z to/on it'. With anything. Although I find that kind of funny now.

    People who are slow getting onto/off escalators.

    People who are slow at tills enrage me the most actually. I can't watch some of them at the self-checkouts.

    There are many, many more but I think ill stop now!

    older people who see age an excuse for not trying, or as an excuse for bitterness towards people who are full of happiness.

    What's an ASL? If you tried being a bit more patient you wouldn't feel so enraged as you put it.

    ASL= advanced stop line.

    You're absolutely right about patience, I could definitely do with more. Especially with the till thing. I worked in retail for years so may have post-traumatic retail worker stress :pac:
