Forum Miss Bimbo, fashion community / What drives you nuts? - TOP Irritations

Personal Hygiene Most Certainly!! Especially little kids with grimy hands and snot running down there faces!! ughh there is this one kid in the neighborhood that always has this THICK yellow goop that then gets all crusty ((gags)) below his nose and all on top of his upper lip and I’m constantly handing him tissues whenever I see him…and the kid is 6!!

People who say "LIKE" ALL the time as punctuation...... it's ,like, soooo annoying.

You know what really gets me???? People who don't use supermarket courtesy.

For example, if you are traveling down an aisle with your cart, social law recommends you stay to the right like you are driving (this could be to the left in the UK, I have never grocery shopped there), but you always get some idiot who is going the wrong way.

Worse than that though, is the people that just stop, in the middle of the aisle like they are taking in the scenery.  I Had a woman the other day, who had gotten a free sample, moved about ten feet away from the sample table and just stopped in center of the meat aisle so know one could get by.  I must have said exuse me four or five times, to which she replied "I'm moving".  No, you weren't, that's why I had to say excuse me!!!

Arrrg!

People annoy me. Person(s) are OK. Stupid people are the worst. Like, when I was at Alton Towers (theme park) the other week, there were some girls in the queue in front of us trying to get in. We were standing there for ages because none of them could get through the barrier when it clicked. They were crowding around two barriers and one said, "Why isn't it working?" Seeing that the first barrier was free, I pushed past, put my ticket through the slot, and muttered, "because you're stupid." under my breath as I walked through the barrier with no problems. These girls had obviously never been on the London Underground where speed is a necessity.

Bad grammar and spelling annoys me as well. Especially in advertisements and published books.

Oversees call centres. The nice (very hot) guy in my bank the other day told me that they have one HUGE call centre in the Philippines but the rest were in Britain. He said that if I get the foreign one, then I should put the phone down and try again because it's the luck of the draw which one I get through to.

Bad road users annoy me as well, middle lane hogs, boy racers, speed demons, snails etc. Along with pedestrians that don't know which side of the road to walk on when there is no path. AGAINST THE TRAFFIC PEOPLE... AGAINST IT!!

Goodness, I'm just a grumpy old woman!

I absolutely hate drying off with a wet towel

Jeez. If I ever say brat, I only do it in a loving way and noozle my kids' noses when I say it or something(like "I wuv my wittle brattikins" or something), but I am guessing that woman didn't do that? She probably dragged the baby by the arm or something? I have seen people like that.

On the other side of that I can't stand people that glare at me when I cannot get my kids under control in the store. I'm sorry but I am a human being and I am not perfect. My children hate to shop, my husband works all the time, and we need groceries too. The very second we go into the store they start screaming and there is nothing I can do, I am only one person and they are two(with much more energy I might add!). I go as quickly as I can so I don't bother people for too long, but I still get people glaring at me. I bring snacks but they run out FAST between me two kids.  The other day I was in line and I had a full line of people behind me glaring because my kids were crying. They wanted to go home and didn't understand that we were done and just had to pay for the food(my son is only 3 and my daughter is just 1). I wanted to turn around and tell them all off! I would love to leave my kids at home but there is no one home to watch them. And if I don't go shopping, then who will? No one and we would starve.

Wow a lot of things annoy me. lol.

BO is high up there though. Can't stand smelliness.

CHAVS!!!!
they wind me up. Going around with bellies hanging out over trackys smoking away and swearing at their kids. They are a disgrace. Saw some in macdonalds today. They looked like 12 year olds. They had cigarettes behind there ears and they were swearing like mad and staring at everyone in the place and if anyone stared back tehy'd try and start a fight. The people working there were too scared to kick them out. One girl got up with her baby and went up to the till and said give me milk i need to feed this brat.
I was like what is happening to the world????

Two tried to start on my boyfriend when he was out the other night hehe... he's quite large is my bf, like a rugby player so you really wouldn't mess with him. He is an aboslute sweetie pie though and doesn't like violence (any more).

Anywho, he turned around to one of them, said, "I really don't think you want to do that." Said Chav spat on the floor, missing my bfs shoe and started saying, "come on then" and things like that trying to wind him up.
After a few minutes of this, my bf just turned around and punched him square in the face. His mate ran off and nasty little chav got turfed out of the bar. Barman said 'thanks' to my bf and he got a free drink hehe!

Nasty little freeloaders with bad taste. Shell suits tucked into football socks and badly dyed hair. Urgh... I want to put them all in a gas chamber and be done with them.

my ex did the same. We were at a party and some chavs gate crashed and started picking fights with people for fun thinking people wouldnt react. Me and my bf (now ex) walked passed them and one called my ex a see you next tuesday and my ex just went straight through the crowd of guys and punched the guy straight in the nose and the guy went down like a ton of bricks. Funny as heck

When your polite to someone
eg/ open a door for them, move out of their way, help them,
and they dont say thankyou you.
Or if they do something wrong like know you in the street or push you and dont say sorry.
Its not hard to remember manners!

And yeah like the earlier post said, chavs, not all chavs, cause thats a sterotype, bust some are so rude and try to cause fights, its so silly. Grow up.

Race/religion-sorry but its getting silly, everything is about race and religion, we are all humans, we should be equal, man, woman, black, white, christian, muslem.
Why people see the need to be rude is beyond me, we arnt that different, so give is break, its called christmas...im not going to call christmas 'winter fest' because it may offend someone. Ive never met someone of a diffent religion who has been offended by the word 'christmas'....just no.
Being a diffent skin colour does not been that person is stupid/mysoginst/rude, its a skin colour.
Dont get me started on double standards either, i know its nieve of me, but i just want everyone to be equal/treated equal, i dont see why we have to kill over religion/race ect...

You know, I never really looked at if from your perspective. I used to work as a cashier at a grocery store, and let me tell you, I still wince at the sound of crying/screaming/misbehaving children. It's one of those sounds that for some reason gets under my skin and I'm not quite sure how to put it, but it's just something I cannot stand, especially having to hear it all day long for 2 years in high school. I swear, it's like a have a mini-panic attack when I hear it. For this reason I doubt I will ever have kids.

But, it was good to read the other side, and I will definitely be thinking of you the next time I see or hear kids acting like that, and I will try to make sure to be one of those mean people glaring.

Oh I hate that; it is almost as though they think you are there to serve them.  I feel like asking them to leave me a tip or something.  I am not a doorman

Soooo many things annoy me like plastic wrapping,and when people leave spoons on the draining board bowl up so a little pool of water gathers in there.
But my biggest bugbear of all time is people who put pushchairs on busy roads while theyre waiting to cross. I always think it just takes one nutcase going too fast and not seeing.

People with bad grammar! Like.. on the internet and txt is ok, but when you are talking to someone they should talk properly. I especially hate people that use "but" at the end of their sentences! Gah

I know that its not on your list but i felt like having a rant.

Haha, I totally know what you mean. I have a pet peeve when people use the wrong possessiveness of "you are", like "Your joking, right?" instead of the correct, "You're joking, right?" ARGH it's so hard not to fix it. I'm such a grammar freak What do you mean using "but" at the end of a sentence?

I don't like it when others interrupt me a lot in conversation; to me, it just feels like they aren't listening to a word I'm saying. Oh, and at parties, I hate it when guys leave the toilet seat up in the bathroom everyone is using. I want to make an announcement at a party one day and say, "Hello gentlemen, or rather lack thereof. What you probably have realized by now is that there are ladies at this party, and that they, too, use the bathroom. We don't like having to avoid stepping in the pee you've left right next to the toilet. We don't like having to reach down and close the toilet seat that you had no problem lifting yet can't seem to close on your own. We aren't your mothers. CLOSE THE BLEEPING TOILET SEAT and clean up after yourselves. Thank you." But then again, it's better than the guys who don't lift the seat. Ugh, I've totally grossed myself out with bathrooms and germs and men's hygiene now. I'm just gonna go.
