:mrgreen: Don't take it personally Nev!

I can't think of anything at the moment but I'm really enjoying this thread - because I 'know' some of you well I can see with some amusement that some people's pet hates are other's pet hates that people hate those things..... I'm not explaining myself well but the spelling/grammar one springs to mind..... someone will now say one of their pet hates is people who point out other people's spelling mistakes! :lol:

And I'm sure I've got an apostrophe wrong in there somewhere! :mrgreen: And I have cats!! :flower:

(Why am I in such a good mood?)

Well I agree with a lot of them already, like the people who think there way of life is the best and everyone else is wrong. It does work both ways - I lived with two people I can only describe as Rainbow Fascists.

1. People who talk loudly on mobile (cell) phones on buses/trains for hours and hours. A quick call is fine but I find it impossible to block out other peoples conversations like this and usually it's nothing I want to listen to - every now and again it's quite entertaining but 90% of the time....

2. Creationists - Dinosaurs are a 'test' are they??!!??

3. People who don't press the button on Pelican Crossings - Cars don't just stop, you can't just stand there staring into space waiting for them to stop. PRESS THE BLOODY WAIT BUTTON.....

...Time for the first cigarette of the day I think.

...That reminds me of another, not being able to quit smoking despite countless attempts

1) people who're cruel to animals
2) people who're cruel to people
3) people who take everything terribly, terribly, seriously - all the time

1. people on the radio or tv saying 'what a hot day it is' when its only hot in London... or raining.. when its only raining in London.. or snowing.. you get the idea.. hello? most of the population don't live in London!
2. apricots. they are crime against humanity.
3. people who don't like animals. Me - I love my cats, but I'm ok with people not likiing cats, or not liking dogs.. its when they don't like ANY animals at all - I think 'I don't like you much'

Apricots!! :mrgreen:

I'm still in a good mood and I'm still trying to think of my list. Can you tell it is raining here and I'm happy? :cheers:

So..........

1. Dry weather! OK OK, prolonged dry weather.

2. The traffic in England.

3. The arrogant and useless tradesmen/builders in France (not all French, they are bad, Portuguese are bad but the Italians are the worst).

I reckon you lot all need to relax before you burst a blood vessel! There are things that annoy me, but they're not really important so I soon forget about them.

Don't worry, I only get hot under the collar when people remind me of the things that I get hot under the collar about. The rest of the time, I'm just chillin' with the pigs! :lol:
