taxi drivers!!! They think they own the roads and where are the police?

The woman in my office who sits opposite me. She is a lovely lady and we get on well but she is also the most annoying person I've ever met. Insists on talking very loudly when on the phone. When uses the speaker on her phone to dial out the volume is also very loud. See's no problem on living in a council flat on her own when she's earning more than I do. She also takes over everything you organise. If we go out for a meal as a group she'll only ever order a bowl of chips. Will happily turn up the volume on the radio next to me when she wants to listen to a particular item but will talk over everything else. Takes an hour and a half lunch break everyday. Is a martyr by telling everyone how early she comes into worky et she's never here when I'm early (usually about 5 mins before work starts!)

blokes in shorts with socks and jesus sandels, drivers that don't acknowledge you, when you just spent ages letting loads of cars pass. Women who use your razors and then say they never, then wonder why theres blood all over the bathroom.... Night shifts.. Nuneaton's ringroad but worst of all, people who say "d'you know you look like the Milky Bar Kid", and think that its the first time I've ever heard it...OH YEAH GOOD ONE MATE, NOT HEARD THAT IN 34 NAFFIN YEARS!! I've calmed down now, gone to my happy place..think calm thoughts......

Quite right Darren What is all this moaning about leaving the loo seat up, is it so difficult to put it down? Men who wear trainers and tailored trousers urgghhh! Baseball hats and boy racers who have a boom box in the car that sounds like a big base drum. Football shirts worn for best men who wear white socks Anyone pointing a finger at me people who say F**k as part of a conversation Dog poo. I have a dog but always carry a nappy bag in my pocket to scoop it up it upsets me when I see others can't be bothered. Litter louts People who are not proud of this country I hear the Scots ,The Welsh and The Irish going on about how great their country is and how proud to be Welsh,Scots,Irish they are why don't we get excited about being English? Phew! That makes me feel better to get all that off my chest Thanks for a great thread. very theraputic.

Naomi and Deb, I think we are all married to the same guy. I tell my husband the cat is easier to train than he is. Crista

People who drive AND use their mobile phone at the same time. Viv.

my peeve is women who moan about blokes who leave the loo seat up! you leave it down, and we don't moan that we have lift it up! Seat goes up, seat goes down ;-)

Dog Poo is absolutely my worst pet hate. I took my daughter out of the car aged around 18 months and she ran up to the house. Meanwhile she stood in it, assumed it was chocolate and proceeded to put a huge dollop in her mouth! I spent the next goodness knows how long trying to wash out her mouth (and you try telling an 18 month old baby not to swallow) and phoning the doctors for advice. I was nearly sick and if I had caught that particular dog and its owner there would have been bloodshed! Also I hate drivers who don't indicate, put on an entire faceload of makeup doing 90 in the fast lane and drivers who sit at 70 in the middle lane when theres nothing for miles around - totally oblivious.

Dog owners who don't keep their dogs on leads in public places, i don't mean parks etc. where they are exercised, i mean the pavement,shopping centres (why take a dog shopping?)etc. as one who is TERRIFIED of dogs you have no idea what an ordeal it is to come across one not on a lead, i also hate it when the owner says "he won't bite". THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT!!!!!! sorry but i needed to get that off my chest Tricia xx

mine is hearing bad manners and following that one - hearing people eating - they both send shivers down my spine. Tracy

Bob/Linda - its not people in my way who I get peeved (and more!) at, its those who are a danger to other road users - this can be a jaywalking pedestrian, a cyclist who thinks the highway code doesn't apply to him or a car/bus/taxi/van/lorry driver who thinks everyone else has a crystal ball to predict their every move .... by the way, thats not 'exactly' what Karen said about dog-poo owners on the way to school this morning ..... Maz. XX Also I forgot people who throw rubbish down in the street grrrrr

I drive a motorbike partly in London so you get used to anticipating many of the dafter moves by other drivers - if you don't then you don't survive. Lol. As for other pet hates why, oh why does SHMBO get something out of a cupboard and usually leave the door open?

Chris, Register yourself with TPS. This stops the unwanted calls. I can't remember the website address but if you google you're sure to find it. Then if any companie call you can say you're TPS registered and going to report them. Naomi

I am a professional driver and I have a solution for most of the driving peeves on here. ---Give yourself more time---- My conclusion, after years of watching motorists is that the people who meet all the horrors mentioned are often the ones who have no time. Bob

Sorry,I'm sure to upset ,annoy someone here but-- People who phone just as I'm getting in the bath,going to bed,going out or as I'm settling down to watch something on t.v that I've been waiting to see for ages and they ask if I want some new windows/Childrens books / blinds/ect. If I wanted a bag of sugar I wouldn't wait for Tesco to phone So why would I wait for someone to phone if I needed new windows.I'd be the one doing the phone calls and at a reasonable time. Chris

Paul, you may be right but where would we be without the "Men" to give us something to moan about? :0)

Isn't it interesting that by and large the majority of posts on this "whinge list" are from women ? Guess that just confirms what we men have always know - women just like to moan !!! ;-) Paul

LITTERBUGS!! Why can't people just put their rubbish in their pockets or bags until they get to a bin or home? Kathleen, I grew up in Putney and hubby in West Kensington so it was only natural to support them. When I moved in with him we'd walk down to the bridge. Now we live in Epsom so get the train although can only afford one season ticket now.

My hubby also does the loo roll, toilet seat up, wet towel on the bed... He also takes his plate or cup out to the kitchen and leaves it on the counter ABOVE the dishwasher! It's also impossible for him to wipe up crumbs when he's had toast.

Debs I lived in a house with 5 men - imagine how stressful was that!! The toilet seat was never down! lol. Naomi At last another Chelsea supporter, can't say I have come across another one on here. I lived on the bridge overlooking the ground many, many years ago and have been a supporter ever since. Kathleen
