Default Nine things.....

.....I Hate About Everyone

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my zip when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".?Too right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No, I paid £12 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... You didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest darn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here?

People who go to the supermarket for a chat with their friends in the middle of teh chuffin aisle when there's a perfectly good pub just round the corner.

People who rather than park their car just stop it. The could be halfway across two spaces, at a 45 degree angle, anything other than in the space.

People who don't say thank you when you let them past - be it in their car or on foot.

People that just barge past you without so much as a second glance. I'm 6ft 7 and 18 st for cryin out loud, how bad is your eyesight!?

Parents who smoke in the car with children in the back yet make sure they're wearing their seatbelt.

People who think shouting into their mobile phone will improve the reception.

People who come and stand right in front of you when you're looking at the lower shelves in a supermarket (mainly music stores though). Nopwe, I'm just stood here staring at the shelves to pass the time!!

George Bush.

People who insist on showing me what they're eating, whilst they're eating it.

People who prefer the sound of their food to the taste of it.

People who get onto the motorway and seem to have an aversion to the inside lane.

People who shout and swear at you whilst behind the wheel of their car, but wouldn't say boo to you in the street.

I'm off to have some herbal tea and a little sit down....

Before I moved, the neighbours and I used to take it in turn to mow the front lawns. It was just as easy to do the two once the mower was out.

My pet hate is parents swearing at the children when telling them not to swear. Don't they realise children learn by example!

People who park on a busy street just so they don't have to walk more than three yard to the bank machine.

On single track roads (lots up here!) - why don't the manufacturers seem to fit reverse gears to BMWs and shiny 4x4s of all makes?

People who drive with their car stereo's at full blast - don't they realize it's best to be able to hear as well as to see other road users? Oh, duh....of course, that's why they always have all their windows open....silly me.

People who can't take 10 seconds to think outside the box!

Yes, I'm sorry my son got in your way, sorry he's singing unreasonably loudly, sorry we had to stop suddenly making you walk round us, sorry we took a long time at the till because he needed everything done in a particular order. I did apologise to you, did you think for one moment that he might have special needs and that we're coping as best we can? And that your tutting and muttering, not to say downright rudeness, only makes it an even harder and slower process?

Oooh, feel better for that little rant! Not directed at anyone here, obviously!

I hate bricklaying, two pillars now finished and 4 others 2/3rds up. All brickwork will be finished in the morning.
