gothgrr's rather interesting post, the fatuous part of my brain started wondering ... what gets people riled? What really gets your goat? Trivial or world-shattering, I don't care!
For me, one thing is definitely people who appear constitutionally unable to return CDs to the correct case, instead putting them in the case of the CD that they have just put on. After about a week, this can result in a fairly intensive search - and is even more annoying when you realise that you have taken six empty cases and an assortment of sound-effects CDs on holiday ...

Re:

i think one of the little things that i find really annoying is....
people who hang loo roll with the paper hanging down the back not the front!! ARGH!!!!!!
also, public toilets with broken seats....
....and auto flushing toilets that flush as you sit down as they react when you get into the cubicle but still have to take your coat off and hang your bag up and give you a wet bum!!
and people who leave pubes and wetness on the loo seat!!
*ARGH!*
erm... i have serious "issues" with public toilets!
:p
i'm sure there are more serious irksome things in the world but reading that whole toilet seat saga has set my mind in this direction.
oh you know what else annoys me?

not washing the bath

- people who drive in the middle lane of the motorway even though there's no traffic on the inside making it a pain to overtake them
- and people who weave in and out of lanes without signalling
- foodstuffs with totally unnecessary gelatin or whey in
- people being rude to someone serving them just because the person can't argue back - in fact rudeness in general completely hacks me off
- mouldy food left in fridges or dishes. Lack of hygiene in general. I can cope with clutter and dust, but lack of cleanliness... ugh
- anything that
- right, the one thing that is totally pissing me off at the moment is the doors at work. There are 3 doors into our corridor and the manager of the group we share it with has arbitrarily decided that two of them should be locked - without telling us. We now have to take keys to the toilet and warn all our visitors in advance. Grrrrr! It's not just the inconvenience it's the lack of consideration. And thank you for letting me get that off my chest!!
no subject
- people who eat noisily
- people who make a huge fuss about giving their seat up on a bus or tube to someone on crutches
- people who take themselves too seriously
- parents who don't explain things to their children
- people who just don't care
- rudeness
