Pet Hates - What are yours?

[MattyBoy]

I have two that come to mind, and both are pedestrian behaviours on city streets.

1)
People who walk incredibly s l o w l y in front of me and are hard to get past. How little must these people value their time?

2)
People who are too cool to watch oncoming traffic when they are strolling across the road. You have to point your head somewhere, why not check out those oncoming cars?

This is tough when I am riding my bike and pedalling to keep pace with the cars and I have to swerve into traffic to dodge one of the above, but then I can't see the cars coming behind me so I have to hit the brakes. Once a guy was making it so hard when I was engrossed in my riding and I just found myself shouting "Move!" and he jumped so high I could almost ride underneath him. Must admit I enjoyed that, especially as I am usually such a wimp.

Some people have time to spare

hmmmmmmmm. i have lots of pet peeves but.... i'd have the say the biggest one is when ........hmmmmmmm........ well.......... lets see......... oh yeah when ppl are indecisive.....lol

i always take my time...... may just be the way i was raised or where/ the environment i grew up in..... but i'm hardly ever in a hurry!!!! i dont understand why so many ppl rush around....... they spend so much time trying to hurry that they never got to enjoy anything??? just an observation

1) People who can't take hints
2) People who leech on to you for no other reason than to use you to make themselves feel like they are fitting in

[Provost Harrison]

Trolls who don't know how to do anything other

[Seneca]

People who take on loads of extra work without being asked and then ***** about how much work they have to do. Bloody martyr complex.

By the way,
I think the best pet hates are ones that you know are unreasonable, but cannot help.

DK,
From now on, I will be muttering under my breath "get out of my way, you DARLINKELL" as I walk around the city

[DarlinKell]

thats an idea Matty..... just call them all 'darlin' and i bet they move out of the way.... some because they like it and are flattered..... and some because they think your crazy!!! lol

Living a relaxed life is one thing, spending a relaxed lifetime in the middle of the road is another.

Haven't posted for a while.
That idea turned out to be a foolish one and I ended up out of action for a while

people who put their hand on my shoulder w/ out permission (which is never granted). i have to stiffle the intense desire to rip their arm off and beat them with it.
