Things that make your blood boil?
23 Answers
Not big things just minor ones. for instance:
people who sit beside you in the bus who munch crisps.
people who stand in a queue at M &S with a sandwich that cost 2 quid and wait until they get to the checkout then start rummaging in their bag for purse etc.
people who when in the city centre, decide to change direction sponteanously, so that you are up their a*sre before you know it?
I could go on and on but if you are guitly of one of the above please accept my apologies, anger mangement courses for me!!!

The thing is though that if these things make your blood boil, then to you they are major !
Crisps, absolutely, particularly at work, where someone will just sit there staring moronically at a screen, rustle rustle rustle, CRUNCH crunch crunch. Apples too. I leave the room for 5 minutes.
Something else invariable. I pop into the supermarket, there are no queues. I fetch the 2-3 items I need, return to the checkouts a few minutes later and there are queues 10 deep. Also, why is it that whenever I go down an aisle, everybody else immediately congregates there and wants to push past me, scuse me, scuse me, scuse me.....

What really bugs me is when I'm in the supermarket, during my lunch break, buying a sandwich and a magazine or paper. I'm usually in a hurry and the checkout queues are long. Then, when it's my turn to be served, the checkout assistant picks up my magazine and scans it really slowly whilst reading what's on the front cover! The other day, I was buying a local paper and had it on the conveyor, when the chap in front of me turns around and starts blatantly reading the front of my newspaper! For goodness sake, buy your own!
people who insist on telling me how healthy or unhealthy certain foods are.
family members included. i don't have a weight problem, never have but because of all the media hype about this being good for you or that being bad for you people who are concerned think i should be too.
i'm not, so just shut up about it!
if you want to watch your weight, fine - but don't watch mine!
they end up making me feel guilty that i don't have a weight problem!
phew! didn't realise it bothered me that much!!

People who constantly swear especially women, I can swear with the best of them but I would never swear in front of a female or in front of anybody that would be offended, but I know women who really struggle to put a whole sentence together without saying f*ck. Is that sexist? well maybe, but if these women haven't got the self respect to curb this language why should anybody else show them any respect.
I would not be seen dead or associate with any of these women!!
The other thing that gets to me is people chewing gum and yes, especially Women, it looks vile and cheap.
I always show respect to Women I just want them to have a little respect for themselves.
I'm not branding all Women with these traits, there are still some genuine Women out there with self-respect.

Mine are mostly child related.
Absolutely hate Gina Ford, making tonnes of money out of vunerable new mums with her quick fix sod the consequences methods.
Car seats..people either don't use them when they should or overuse them. Car seats are for cars and babies should not be in them any longer than absolutely necessary, their oxygen levels are decreased and spine develop affected by being in them too much.
Supernanny and similar programmes - again quick fix never mind the psychological impact of such methods. I also hate the exploitation of children on tv, there have already been cases of children being bullied after appearing on such shows.

...drivers who get in the wrong lane at roundabouts...

Supermarkets - People who block the isles with their trollies. Checkout people and customers having a long chat after they have paid. Customers who start bagging their stuff after they have paid, customers behind you thinking that if they keep ramming the trolly into your ankles they will get through quicker.
Holidays - People that stand up as soon as the plain touches the ground, ready for the 'race' to get their bags, they are usually still waiting when I am leaving the terminal because their bags went on the plain first, the same people trying to get back on the plain at the gate as if they will get better seats if they get on first.

People who arrive at their hotel on holiday and go in search for the English food and pubs.
Motorways - People who hog the middle lane, people who don't have indicators (Volvo drivers especially). People who don't use the sliproad to get up to speed before entering the motorway.
Driving - Volvo drivers in general, think that because they have a safe car they don't need to follow the rules of the road, people who drive at a constant 40mph wherever they are even if the limit is 70, 50, 30.
Thanks for the opportunity to rant.

the three hour traffice jam is was stuck in yesterday. people who stop suddenly when walking down a street and then get annoyed at you for nearly walking into them. kids who take over the entire pavement and refuse to move so you have to step in the road to pass. parents who don't take responsibilty for their badly behaved kids ooh i could rant forever, perhaps i'm just grumpy today :-)
People who leave their 'baby on board' stickers displayed in the car when there's no baby in the car! Don't they realise the actual purpose of them?
Constant velocity drivers, people who don't realise that they actually have to indicate even if there are only pedestrians around, middle lane hoggers who get sniffy when you undertake them, lol, and those bloody scooters that have engines made from hairdryer motors that make such a racket and they only ride them in the early hours of the morning!

sexist blokes who think its ok to put all these ridiculously outdated unwritten rules and regulations on the women around them, and even believe that any women who doesn't adhere is scum - yet believe its ok for men to do these things.
and then, they complain that they can't get a girlfriend - and wonder why...
