Things that piss me off
Got a few minutes? :)
“Please listen carefully as we have changed our menu options”
Endless menus to select from when using automated calling systems, including repetition of items from the previous menu
Voice recognition systems that don’t recognise voices
Inability to reach a Human Being for assistance when calling Customer Service
People crossing my path directly in front of me when there was 10 times as much space behind me
People who walk into my path and then stop
Drivers who pull in front of me then slow down
People who don’t allow enough of a gap for those exiting trains and are impatient to get on. These people are idiots. If they hadn’t stemmed the flow of those alighting, they would have got on sooner! Duh!
People who loiter on or near crowded staircases
People who sneeze in public and particularly in enclosed spaces, without covering their mouths
People making that horrible grunting sound
Men who apparently think that every other man’s aim is so poor that they are unable to not piss on toilet seats
Officiousness
Educated ignorance
Lies
Money being valued higher than people
Ultra Conservativism
Religious Fundamentalism
People getting upset on behalf of others, who were not upset at all!
Men referring to women as objects
Women claiming that whereas men are swayed by looks, they are attracted to men based upon personality. Yeah right! Sign up for an Internet dating site and that myth gets blown right out of the water!
Prejudice
People hitting ‘Reply to All’ when a friend sends them and others who they don’t know, an email
The school of thought that always saying yes to your kids is being a good parent
The monsters those people raise
Tailgating
Tailgating in dangerous road conditions. People who do this should be instantly banned from driving
“I’m a glass half full person”. Used to be cute but is now annoying. The word is optimist!
“There’s a question mark over…..” If it is a written question, there should indeed be a question mark. The only times that the word ‘mark’ should follow the word ‘question’ when speaking, are when discussing punctuation or when asking Mark a question!
“There’s no such thing as a stupid question.” Oh yes there is!
People who change course and walk directly into my path and then apologise….. but they still stand there waiting for me to walk around them!
People who talk really loudly on their mobile phones when in an enclosed space
People who talk endlessly on their mobile phones when in an enclosed space
Men who sit in crowded spaces with their legs unnaturally widely open
People who insist on taking up two seats on a bus or train, even when there are people standing
Drivers who inch their cars into a crossing while people are on it and while they have a red light
Gas Guzzling monster cars and trucks – especially when only one person is in it
People who don’t acknowledge me when I hold a door open for them
Adults throwing their rubbish in the street while walking with their kids
People littering – especially when there is a receptacle nearby
People not recycling – especially when there is a recycling bin right by the regular one
People not washing their hands after going to the toilet – especially after having a crap.
I’m sure there are lots more. Please feel free to add some of yours in the comments.
