No. Causes me irrational rage. I have no pity for them as they're not addicts in the main, just divs thinking they're being cool.

Don't take it personally!

Totally agree. I used to do the job myself and I get totally wound up by useless staff who wander around in a daze. I had to tell one genius that you dont serve cider with a frothy top and just about managed to get them to fill the glass to the top. I mean, its dear enough already!!

My list so far


The kid who gets on my bus most mornings 1 stop to his school. Take the lazy buggers oyster card off him please!!!

The bell being rang and rang and rang on the bus. Really makes me ANGRY, are they all deaf or just plain ignorant

People who stand at the bottom of the stairs on a bus and give you filthy looks when you want to get past.

Filthy fu***** who spit on the street.

Inappropriate clapping

Being in a shop and the staff chatting to each other whilst you stand there waiting

Being behind someone in a supermarket who overspends and spends hours deciding what to out back

Being in a public toilet (usually in the pub) with posh kid on toilet with door open and posh mum loudly asking posh kid are you doing a poo darling, good girl. Too much information

People eating in restaurant/pub who let their kid wander about and when the waitress trys to clear the table say no they havent finished yet, they will prob come back to his/her food.

Cats/foxs s******* in my garden

Don't be so touchy 'chopper', there's nothing wrong with smug superiority and the pity is of the 'pity-the-fool' brand rather than the tear shed in mournful reflection of a lost soul (or 'div').


A light smear of vaseline on any horizontal surfaces might provide a little light relief (schadenfreude style) if the rage gets too bad...

Drivers in cars at a red light who don't signal they are turning right until the light goes green. I would have gone into the other lane if you'd only done that before you thoughtless idiot.Now I'm stuck behind you as you wait for all the oncoming traffic to go by.

Ditto...in my opinion, if you can leave your front door without having put make-up on, then what is the point of applying it on the train? They only want to look 'presentable' for the people they know.

Especially golf umbrellas... Are you playing golf (which in itself causes me irrational rage)? Oh no, that's right - you're going to the bloody office, among busy rush-hour crowds, making sure no-one can walk within three feet of you without being spiked. If you're going to use an umbrella, get an ordinary small one, you selfish eejit.

All umbrellas should be small and transparent.

I don't understand why we don't wear hooded raincoats more often. I do. Two hands free and in nobody's way. And that comes from a woman with long hair so no excuses, ladies.

I'm a big fan of the library. It's a fantastic local resource and it really annoys me when people use it without consideration for others, like eating burgers (there's one right now! in the book section downstairs!), loud phone conversations, girlie groups having lunch on the stairs making it difficult for elderly people to pass, people opening dropping litter and people charging mobile phones.

People parking on the tiny bit of raised pavement between ours and the neighbours drive (we both have lowered curbs) only about 1/2 a car lenth would fit (i.e. a smart) without blocking us.

But it seems to be a magnet on our street, and the abuse you get when you ask them if they could not part there.

We actually use our drive and the bit in front for our cars so as not to take up parking elsewhere on the street.


Oh yes and the thugs that live across the street. Three generations (all able bodied) who don't/won't work living scot free causing no end of trouble.

People tailgating me because I'm driving at the speed limit, who then give me a dirty look whilst taking over, only to have to stop at a red light 200 metres later. I'm sorry, but I have yet to encounter stretches of road in South London where driving like a maniac will get you to your destination any faster than 10 seconds than if you were to driven patiently.

The Voice.


Will.I.am's weird eyes (and his stupid name, for goodness sake, look what my phone has done to the capitalisation)

The Irish bloke's seemingly permanent sneer. Who is he anyway?

Jessie j and her chair dancing


... and the fact that for the first time ever I think Tom Jones is quite good looking. He's an old man, what's wrong with me?

    • Contrasts with my experience at Health Matters last week  who took me straight to it with 3 different versions 
    • I went to get psyllium husk (which I pronounced very clearly and even pointed to my stomach, reflexively) but was taken by the assistant - whose face showed puzzlement for a few seconds - to the selenium section..! When I said it was not what I was looking for I had to explain what it’s used for and was then pointed to their product which was in tablet form - not what I was after. I’m much keener on places that know what’s what but at least I gave it a go…
    • The voters in these redwall seats all complain of a broken Britain etc etc - yet see no connection between the  country voting tory for 14 years and those towns voting for Brexit despite being warned it would lead to problems - they just moan about everything - often quite correctly (services are expensive or being cut, roads are a state, housing is expensive etc etc) but when you ask them when things were better.. well the answer is either    a) under a labour government when we part of the EU or b) some fictional Facebook sepia tinted picture of Britain "when you could leave your front door open, we didn't know how lucky we were" Voters say they want the truth but when someone sane (if dull and sometimes wrong) gets into power and says "lads, things are worse than we realised" they bleat about a lack of instant fixes and say it's wrong to keep blaming the last government (despite the lie about Labour crashing the economy in 2008 STILL being a stick labour get beaten with in 2025) as for rejoining the EU - the barriers are immense - you have a press and a large portion of teh population that will behave just abysmally. You have an electorate that recognises the mistake but is all very English and "made out beds, mustn't grumble" etc etc - no backbone. And you have an opposition party (or two) that is plain bonkers and when labour do lose power they would renege/reverse any progress made in matters EU in seconds Meanwhile EU countries can see all this clearly and have no incentive to engage until this country grows up and is able to demonstrate they won't act hysterically when reintegration starts
    • This is an extract from an edition with Dave Walker, mediator extraordinaire, born at the Elephant & Castle and still living in Southwark. One of his great achievements is training young people to be peer mediators ... who even step in to work with disputing adults! Just shows what can be achieved and who can achieve it. Pretty much anyone and everyone.  Next week we publish a special edition with Jo Berry who has very powerful story to tell. Further more, there was an invited audience of local people young and old, with whom she engaged in open discussion for an hour. Insights galore!
