My biggest pet hates are Tractors on the A34 during rush hour. Silly old grannies crossing the road without looking (sorry if there are old grannies on here) I hate getting into a unmade bed - if I don't make it the other half doesn't and that really drives me up the wall hate it when someone says I told you so Somone paying by card when their shopping bill is only £2. Now that I have that off me chest I feel alot better nat |

Motorists indicating right on roundabouts,WHY? you are already going right! unless you are going all the way round.... and NOT bothering to indicate left when turning off.....and indicating AFTER they have made the move.... the "driver" at traffic lights who cant be bothered to say he is going right, until the lights change......the driver that wont move forward at traffic lights preventing number two getting across, or round. and the other driver that doesnt realise that the national speed limit for the road he is on is probably 15 miles an hour faster than he is prepared to proceed at....I COULD go on...... |

Ooh just thought of another. Is driving one again... maybe I'm too aggressive to be on the road?! lol When I'm trying to get onto the A3 or any busy/fast road and I'm on the slip road, people pootling along the inside lane and not moving over to the middle so you can get on. Naomi |

Yes, me too Naomi - either during my lunch hour or after work in the dark - but that was in 1963! |

Can't say I've ever faced that problem Janet but learner drivers in rush hour is one too. I know they have to learn but I did all mine in my lunch hours. Naomi |

Ooh Rick don't get me started on buses! The back end of my car was wiped out by one 2 weeks ago when he thought I'd pulled over to let him past. I hadn't I was waiting to turn right but a car was coming out of the turning so I couldn't turn in. The bus thought he could fit through. Turns out he couldn't! |

Maz, gotta agree about the dog poo - it drives me absolutely crazy. Can you tell me why people have dogs and then let them roam around doing whatever?? i'm sure these dog owners would be offended if i took my kids over every morning to do their daily scoobies!!! |

Oh yeah, sorry Linda but I also wear my Chelsea shirt too. Strangley enough hubby only wears his to play football and doesn't even wear it to the matches. Although most of his tops have a CFC somewhere and he has a CFC tattoo. Naomi |

Naomi They are the same peeves as mine, apart from the door one. I am the sort of person that will open a door and if I see someone coming will stand there for ages opening it for them and they dont even say thankyou. Debbie |

Well done Maz! I also get annoyed by: bad manners people not holding doors open even though they can see you coming teenagers on the tills at Sainsburys trying to pack as much into a carrier bag full of 8 pints of milk (how strong do they think the bag and I am?) Emails that get forwarded to lots of people but no-one taking all the forwarded bits out so you have to scroll for a mile to read the content Pedestrians who decide the best place to stop is right outside the door of a shop usually as you're behind them. I'm sure there's more and will add them as I think of them! Naomi |

Tourists - They just wander around looking in a completely different direction to what they are walking. My life would be a damn site easier if it weren't for them but then i probably wouldn't have a job (I work in a 4* hotel). |

Sorry Christine, but I always buy a Spurs shirt each season and wear it on holiday, to the gym, to the supermarket etc etc. They have just bought a ladies shirt out which is actually tailored, so I won't have to buy a 'youth' size any more!! Oh and if I go to matches I wear it then too!! Maz. XX |
