Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[ruffers]

Dutiful references to the FIFA World Cup. It's the just the world cup.

[the-e-dealer]

to follow on ... people show stand in the gangway blocking the movement of others WHEN THERE ARE FLIPPING SEATS - On s Bus Trains, Hovercrafts , planes and Ferries.

Kids cycling at great speed on pavements on their two wheel kiddicycles, nearly knocking me over while their parents are jabbering away on their mobiles, totally oblivious to what their "little ones" are doing.

Parents talking on their phones on buses/trains, ignoring their toddlers who, not surprisingly, are bawling at the top of their voices.

[Parkdrive]

People who put baggage, brief cases, etc on seat next to them on trains, and then glare at you when you have the audacity to ask them to move their crap . What do you think the baggage rack is for dumbass.

[the-e-dealer]

Or put masses of luggage between their legs. You sit opposite and have nowhere to put your feet. Knuts!

And people wandering out into the road bellowing on their phones unaware of traffic.

[Dopamine1979]

Other drivers not acknowledging when you give way to them on a narrow road.

Yep 2 of my pet hates

I remember reading about a ticket inspector asking a woman to move her bags from an adjacent seat. When she refused, he said that she would then have to buy another ticket for her bags. That sorted her pronto!

[the-e-dealer]

I'm sure half the annoying things are done by the same people. Maybe it should be 3 strikes and you are out.

[Parkdrive]

People who try their oyster or travel ticket at a train station exit, only to find it doesn't work and then try to push in front of the person in line for the next exit gate. When the person they've tried to push in front of kicks off, they looked stunned and suprised

[El Pibe]

I dunno, they've queued up and served their time, those gates are fickle creatures, why be condemned to the back of a different queue becusae of the vagaries of technology, I reckon they're entitled to a pop at the adjecent one.

if that doesn't work then go see staff.

[the-e-dealer]

Have to agree with El Pube on this unfortunately - Also true if your season doesn't work.

[El Pibe]

Oh, I see what you did there wee-dealer tee hee

[BrandNewGuy]

Drivers ignoring the temporary traffic lights on East Dulwich Grove - sailing blithgely through a red light. Well, it's temporary innit, so not really like a proper traffic light. Pillocks.

[the-e-dealer]

If its a motoring offence its not a Tiny Little Thing its a criminal offence.

[Zebedee Tring]

Self-service check-outs at shops and staff of those shops who are too gullible (or stupid) to realise that those bloody machines are very likely to deprive them of their jobs. If a staff member asks me whether I want to use one of the machines, I say "Will you give me a 10% discount if I use it? If not, I want some service from a human being."

[Loz]

Really? I prefer the machines. They're very fast and efficient if you can use them properly.

I hate them. "Unexpected item in the bagging area" every single time, even if there is nothing there. And if you lift your bag up to adjust things they say it too. I would have listed them as a pet hate here, but I don't think my rage is irrational!

[LouiseC]

Another one for people who want to talk at the top of their lungs in a quiet carriage. Got train from Manchester on a Sunday, half empty train, two blokes choose to sit in quiet carriage talking so loudly whole carriage old hear them. Despite us all looking at each other rolling our eyes due I was the only one who had a very polite word...then they looked at me like I was being unreasonable!! The clue is in the name 'quiet'...

[Loz]

So with you on that one Louise. And the conductors/ticket people do sod all about it.

Mind you, on First Great Western they blast stupid announcements about the buffet car into the quiet carriage after EVERY station, complete with the ultra-annoying 'bing-bing-BONG' at the start and end.

[numbers]

Claudia Winkelman's white lipstick.

(yup i hate those noisy feckers that have discussion in quiet carriages too. in fact, anyone that breathes in the Quiet carriage should be shot. its actually less stressful and more peaceful to travel in a non-busy 'normal' carriage. there's always a mounting air of tension in the Quiet coach as more and more people get on the train).

[Seabag]

People with STUPID LOUD ringtones, who when their phone rings (on the train or bus) look at their stupid phone for what seems like ages, then wait a bit and then answer them. What's this for? to create an air of "Oh i'm way to busy to be answering my phone right now" No you stupid fat headed numpty, you're sitting there doing sweet F.A, so answer your stupid FLIPPING PHONE and turn off the STUPID RINGTONE while your at it

"I'm on d'bus/train"

Heaven help us/me

[miga]

.

[the-e-dealer]

Or they just flipping ignore it as it Plays Bachs Tempus Fugit in the Key of Spades in an irritating painful tuneless way.

[Zebedee Tring]

So called left/liberal celebs who are bloody hypocrites. E.g. Bono complaining that governments aren't spend more money on aid and then salting his dosh away in a tax haven. Er, Bono ... where do you governments get the money in the first place? Also Trudie Styler, environmental campaigner, flying to a party by private jet with personal hairdresser etc from New York to Washington and accusing people who criticised her of "class envy".

For the benefit of doubt, I consider myself to be left of centre.
