Yuck, that is gross!

Open mouthed chewing really bothers me.
It is so disgusting hearing and seeing it!

Idiotic drivers, esp the morons at my daughter's school and the local supermarket.

People who phone and want to sell me things or do a survey right on dinner rush.

I'm sure there's plenty more, just can't think of them right now!

Something so little - "oh, so you have a boy and a girl!" Well no, they're both wearing pink slippers - how does that make you think boy?

People who don't pull their weight.

People who are all words and no action.

Oh Kate, I know what you mean!! That really pisses me off too!
I had Bella in the baby seat on the trolley at New World and the Deli lady said "Ohh a little boy?" and I was like umm no she's a girl, and shes wearing a pink bib, and LOOKS like a girl!
And then the next time she asked me the same thing!!! "a little boy?" GRRRRRRRRRR

The world making too much noise when I am trying to have a nap.

The dog barking for not serious reason,

The dog following DS around trying to get the food out of his hand.

People who drive the up the wrong way in the carpark

Being critised for the way I choose to do things or handle things.

Every annoying thing that mums partner does. And the way he reacts when Ds does something he isn't suppose to do.

Being asked when I am having a girl.

People with food on there face....don't talk to me with food on your face...I will tell you even if I don't know you..

Some checkout operators...when they throw your stuff around, I will ask them the change it...don't drop my biscuits on the floor & then put them in my trolley...don't put stuff on my bread....show a little respect cause my DH had to work long hrs so I can buy those biscuits to eat on the couch watching tv...ha ha..not really but you get my drift....

Don't talk over the top of me when I ring to complain...listen first then you can apologise for stuffing up my order...

People who don't take up pants that are too long then walk around on the bottom of them, making them all yucky holey and dirty. Gross. If you can't do it, ask someone who can(and its not that hard) or take them to the drycleaners and spend $15 to do it. Looks even worse when the pants are work pants and you are meant to look smart and well presented! GRRRR.


Girls who feel the need to have written every where 100% bitch, Nasty girl, play girl, don't mess with me (on their cars, clothes etc) etc etc. why do you feel the need to tell everyone that you aren't that nice? Whats wrong with being nice? Since when did being a nasty pouty grumpy get your own way bitch become a status symbol?

White boots. NEVER a nice look.

Slouchy boots on not skinny legs - not flattering. Same as skinny jeans on unskinny bodies.

Swearing all the time in conversation to someone who you don't or hardly know - it makes you sound thick and trashy.

i could go on, I'm such an intolerant old biddy.

People who park in pram parking, when they clearly dont have littlies!! I was sitting in the car with the kids on Saturday while DP nipped into the supermarket, and some guy parks next to us in another pram park, gets out and wanders on over to the supermarket... you lazy bleeding prick, just because you CBA walking a few extra steps!

People who walk around malls then stop RIGHT in the middle, making it nearly impossible to get around them with a pram or trolley... if your going to stop, at least move to one side, there ARE other people here too!

People who rush onto the train before I can get off with a stroller (and 9 month pregnant belly). The train isn't going to leave without you *****!

People who crowd into the lifts in train stations so that people in wheelchairs and people with strollers have to wait for it to come back again. It would be FASTER (for you) if you took the ESCALATOR you idiots.

My neighbour who seems to chain smoke and makes my front room smell like the back end of a dodgy pub about 50 times a day.

People trying to sell stuff like weightloss treatments in malls .... I am pregnant. Not fat! And I don't want your stupid pills anyway.

People who make plans to meet up and then cancel at the last minute when I have arranged my whole day around them

People back home who ask how I "cope" living in a country "with all those asians"

Drivers who pass on the open road only to drive right in front... what's the point!!

When the checkout chick at the supermarket throws my fruit around so it gets all bruised when I've spent time going through the fruit to find all the non-bruised fruit!

 

When people use pregnant mother/mother with children carparks that don't have children, and capable people use Handicap car spaces.  I have NEVER in my life used one even if it means driving around the carpark 2 or 3 times waiting for a space to become available and there or 2 or more empty handicap car spaces.

 

Most of what you've all brought up I agree with too!

 

eta: one time I saw 3 teenage girls park next to me in a disabled car park (I was in the mothers with children park).  I kept gleering at them as if to say "you're not suppose to be parking there" and didn't take my eyes off them.  The girl in the back seat looked guilty but didn't make any notion to the driver that they shouldn't be parking there.  I was livid!!!  Rude girls with no morals.

..this is rich coming from a fattie...albiet a shrinking fattie....

I HATE it when people complain about being fat or make excuses for it

Its this simple. Eat LESS Eat BETTER and EXERSISE MORE.
Oh you have PCOS/hormones etc etc? Same here. YES it makes weight gain go on fast and come off slow, but it also means you KNOW you gain weight faster, so make better choices...

And I hate it when fatties jump on the next "bandwagon" - always looking for that magic potion that will make it all go away without much effort..
(zumba, sketchers shapeups etc)

It IS hard work but it IS worth it.

people that have totaly taken advantage of the earthquake situation here in christchurch and are getting all the freebies and handouts when there houses are prefectly fine and they havent been left without any services ( power , water , sewage etc ) yet they are the first in line at the slightest hint of free stuff , come on people save that stuff and money for the people that need it .

People that use the lift to go up or even worse... down one floor , it wont kill you to walk ya know!!!!

Men (or woman) that think being a 'mum' or 'dad' is the making them part and then leave someone else to do the raising of the children , yet still expect to be called "mum" or "dad"

People who stand in the middle of the shop entrance or shop aisle talking and you have to try and get around them and take no notice when you say excuse me.

People that leave their supermarket trolley smack bang in the middle of the aisle while they peruse the aisle. How hard is it to pull off to the side while you take your time deciding on which jam you want to buy!

Lazy people that use the lift when other people who actually need it can't get in, you have legs, use the escalator!!

Retail staff that spend the whole time serving you talking to their colleague or on the phone and don't even look at you the entire time - RUDE!

Ooooh I wasn't going to go there, but... I was so annoyed, not the fact that there was a free trip, wasn't hating on that a all, but the nerve to complain of no way of getting to train station

What grinds my gears is when people park so close to you that they bang their door into your car, then don't bother apologising! so rude!!

People who are stressballs (like MIL or my Grandmother who stress out over the smallest things. Ok, you spilt your drink on the table cloth - no point yelling and wailing about it as if it's the end of the world and sprinting to the kitchen to get a cloth. It's just not that big a deal - take a chill pill.)

Yep, people who speed or break the law and then complain when they get a ticket. Who say that speeding cameras and policemen are just revenue gatherers - they wouldn't be able to gather revenue if you didn't break the law!

Roadworks or 30km signs that seem unnecessary. I know road maintenance is a good thing but must you have 200m of 30km before and after a tiny patch of new seal on the shoulder that isn't even driven over?

Tailgaters - especially when they are tailgating me, when I'm not the first in the long line of slow traffic. It's not my fault we are going slow, get off my jacksy!

The two phrases "Never did me any harm" and "Back in my day". I really don't mind people being nostalgic about the past - I get nostalgic about my own childhood - but insisting that EVERYTHING was better "back then" is a wee bit short sighted (IMO of course )

I have many more but that'll do for now

Oh...and another one...shops who have narrow aisles, which mean that either I get the whole aisle and no one else can come down (cos I have a double MB) or I have to wait until no one else wants to go down there/has finished their shopping. Farmers is atrocious for this, as is my local supermarket.

Anddddd "are they twins?" No they just look alike and look the same age, but they're 9 months apart.

Haha minik8e on the "are they twins?" comments! I had one of those the other week when I had my 19month old daughter and my friend's 8month old baby. I just said "umm, no" as I was lost for words not only do they look NOTHING alike (my blonde haired blue eyed girl vs their brown haired brown eyed one) but my one is HUGE compared to theirs lol

And grrr about the baby parks! We always count the cars that actually have carseats in them when we go to the mall - there are always a few that don't!

people who have strong opinions - based on NOTHING but what someone has said and consider themselves an expert because of it. My kids at school are incredibly guilty of this. "I don't like the Green party" - Me:"which policy in particular do you not like", "oh...umm...." Great - have an opinion - but have it because you actually know what you are talking about or be a little more open minded. we are studying Treaty next term - should be interesting.

wondering why it is taking me so long to think of things that annoy me?

People who are unprofessional in their businesses. You don't swear and threaten people online - what a dumb arse.

Woe is me. I love that my friends are able to come and have a big rant - even when it's something tiny and really insignificant. But i also like that they get over it. it pisses me off with people that the only thing they seem to talk about is how bad everything is for them. look on the bloody bright side for once! i have a friend with two small children who was diagnosed with MS. she is one of the most positive people I know.   A lot people that have "real" issues are. yeah, she gets down about things, and she certainly moans about it, but for the most part she stays positive. A wonderful example. can't be bothered with negative people.

I agree with the mum/baby parks but remember not every car without a carseat is stealing a carpark...when my cousins boy was a bubba in a capsule we took my car to the mall, used a mum/baby carpark and took the capsule out of the car to use snap n go wheels...now my car doesnt have any toys or other baby stuff lying around and we came back to a nasty note on the windscreen...I get why it was there but we werent doing anything wrong!! No one was at fault, the note writer thought we were stealing a park but it still annoyed me!!!!!!

That happened to us a few times when we would take the capsule and DH's work car. Because it was his work vehicle it was immaculate inside.

Thats very true! You cant just assume there wasnt a capsule in the back.
To avoid that situation you could put a baby on board sign on the back of the car and leave a toy hanging somewhere
Ive always had a sign and toys round my car so when I had just the one baby people could see there actually was a baby in the car lol, Nowdays I clearly have 2 carseats in there

The MIL bying second hand clothes for the boys...GIRL clothes...The denim jacket with the pink trim, the 3/4 capri pants that taper in, the tight cut black tee with the puffy sleeves that said "party till your parents get home" they are not cute on a 9yr old boy....

I don't mind second hand clothes I buy off TM but only buy boys....

This has made me think of another, also Trademe related!

When people ask questions that have already been answered in the body of the auction like 'Where is pick up' when it's already specified or 'Does it come with *insert item here*' when it already says what it comes with.. seriously, can people not read the auction first!!

People that "have" to have a smoke before going in somewhere (because they couldn't go half an hour in the supermarket without one) but "have" to stand in or near the friggin' door way and breathe /wave their revolting toxic fumes all over you and your kids as you go in.. Then throw those filthy stinking butts inteh doorway.
I also hate smoking full stop.

It used to piss me off so much when I was in bus shelters with DD on wet days and some selfish prick would come in and light up.

Spitting!
It is an instant gag-inducer for me.
Surely if you really need to get rid of mucous or something you could discreetly use a tissue? Much more hygienic too!

Was thinking about the smoking thing last night... I go to the mall a lot, and there is always someone with a smoke RIGHT at the doors, so i get to breath in a lungful of that foul air while i walk in the door... that smell makes me feel revolting, I know you have to smoke outside but seriously, 1 or 2 steps away from the main doors!? It wasnt even raining!

So people smoking in doorways rarks me up something fantastic lol!

Yes!!!  My mum does this, and it's cos she wear her stupid jandels INSIDE my house and walks really fast everywhere so all you hear is "flick flick flick flick!"  I really need to tell her to take her jandels of INSIDE.  It's rude!

 

What grinds me is when Dh is sick, so he can take all the time he likes off work (cos he works for himself) and he can rest and sleep when he wants.  But now I'm sick and he's telling me he'll be working late tonight and if I need help with things then to call my mum!!  My mum has visitors arriving today, and the job Dh is working on isn't for himself - he's helping his step father out - so he can easily say to SF that I'm sick and he won't be working late so he can be home to help me out!!!  And not only am I sick, but so is Ava so she's clingy and had me up for the past 3 nights!  MEN.

Roadworks or 30km signs that seem unnecessary. I know road maintenance is a good thing but must you have 200m of 30km before and after a tiny patch of new seal on the shoulder that isn't even driven over?

blerk to all the smokers that stand around the door ways. My big beef is all the people (including staff) who stand just outside the main doors of every entrance at Hutt Hosptial smoking - right beside the signs that say " no smoking on hosptial grounds ".. I am grrrrrrrrrrrr at the people who do this but also more grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that it is not enforced/policed in anyway shape or form.



People who ring and ring and ring and don't bother to leave a message. That's what the answer phone is for my friend!

Religious Callers. We live rurally down a narrow gravel driveway that is around 2km long and yet we've had more religious door knockers since we moved in in June than any of our other houses we've lived in! They always seem to drive very very quiet cars, so I don't know they are here until I hear them on the deck. Today I was lying on my bed reading a book when they showed up at the sliding door - it looks straight into my bedroom dammit. I'm always very polite to them but I've been wondering lately if I should throw a tantrum so they put a "crazy lady, do not enter" mark by my address for future reference. Argh.

People who park in parent or handicapped parking when they aren't.

People who see the baby seat but still park so close to your car that you cant get the baby or yourself in without climbing in through the centre console of your car

Anyone who smokes near my children

People who get to the front of the queue at the supermarket and then remember another 3 items they needed to get... and go get them

DH's loud muttering when something in the house isn't the way HE likes it. FFS, I live here too and you know what, I like the towel over the door. Grrrr! And when YOU hang the washing you get to hang it the way YOU think it should be done. Until then, piss off.

Ditto to the "guttering" and "guttered".

Anyone who says "my bad".
