Well well well

1. Cold callers
2. Caravans
3. Queue-jumpers
4. James Blunt
5. Traffic wardens
6. People who tailgate
7. Brown-nosers
8. Chantelle and Preston from Big Brother
9. Ex-smokers
10. Noisy neighbours

This, according to a poll of just 2000 people.

If they asked me I wouldn't have a clue about the Big Brother participants. The fact they're included shows just how pathetic some peeps are :)

And I guess I'm in there at number 9 but I seriously ain't one of those 'born again' non smokers, although I must admit I don't allow smoking in my home or my car anymore (unless, of course, it was some female I'd chanced upon who liked to roll a phat one :D )

Full story: here

Right then, in the interests of public opinion here at PCR, what really gives you the 'ump? :)

List 'em below >>>>>
 
1. IMMIGRATION
2. The whole labour party and the instituionalized corruption
3. Pikeys
4. Bob - sodding - Geldof
5. Chavs
6. Hemel, a town of 80,000, is having it's hospital shut down, with the closest one being Watford which is already stretched to breaking point
7. Israel and their moronic merciless bombing
8. Eastenders
9. Complete lack of industry in UK
10. ******* water companies

How political

Those 2000 people surveyed clearly have no real problems in their life.
 
Things that give me the ump are...



Thieving Toe-rags...

Vandals...

People in cars with there windows wound down playing music at 130 Decibels (If i wanted to hear the crap your playing i would go and buy the bloody CD)..

Liars...

And Cheats...
 
top ten ...

1. run out of smokes & have to roll some more
2. run out of coffee
3. run out of milk

err, can't think of anymore. :rolleyes:

oh, 'ang on

4. phone callers, withheld #, asking for Mr McNaltie ... again
5. TV licensing
6. top being left off the toothpaste tube ... that should be # 1, but I'll remember one day to put it back on the tube. :)

nope, that's it ... :thumb:
 
Chavs, Cold Callers and Rude People annoy me the most! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:
 
1.Monday mornings
2.Parental unit/younger sibling.
3.Running out of milk.

5.People who work around the question you asked, and end up giving an answer that means nothing to you.
6.Soap operas in any way,shape or form.
7.To kill a mockingbird (its such an awful book, it makes no sense!)
8.Money.
9.Under age drinkers.
10.A broken keyboard

EDIT: they are in no particular order
 
1) Cold callers: phone or in person especially people who call by and offer to chop trees/tarmac the drive etc.....
2) Call centres and: press 1 for this/that
3) Market researchers on the streets and people trying to get you to sign a direct debit for charity
4) Sales reps for accident lawyers (trip/slip type people)

6) Cable and Sky adverts for loans and debt consolidation (again, don't get me going on those!!)
7) Spam on my PC

Maybe not the UK but...


1. Tailgaters
2. people who don't dip their headlights (especialy if they're tailgating)
3. People who queue jump kids.
4. Drunk driving (That would be "Drunk in charge of a lethal weapon" I believe)
5. People who txt while crossing a pedestrian crossing
6. Bullys in General but especially
Teachers who bully &/or publically humiliate children.
7. People in positions of Authority/power who abuse that power.
8. Running out of milk.
9. Being patronised.
10. people who try to use emotional blackmail to get their own way.


Well, that's today anyway :p

also no particular order.
 
Gabs you've really hit the nail on the head with many of yours for me! There are people in Manchester with jackets with "legal team" on the back, they hang around on one particular street in the city centre and then again outside the main hospital (that really annoys me).

They approach you and ask if you've had any sort of accident, even a small one and then talk about how you can get a new kitchen if you've ever fallen over. Very pushy and downright rude! The people that do it look more like bouncers.

The charity ones on the street pestering people to sign direct debit forms are just as bad as they try and guilt people into signing for a charity when it is quite obvious that they receive some large amount of commission. Sometimes I've not even heard of what the charity, but plenty of people sign the direct debit form out of guilt!

And loan adverts!!! I rant on so much to Becky every time one of these comes on - especially the Carol Vorderman one, as those numbers really don't add up!

/rant over ;)

  • Mobile phones being used by a driver whilst driving.:mad:
  • Adverts for loans and debt consolidation.
  • Tailgaters.

  • People whom take the p#ss out of the less fortunate.:(
  • Yobbish/bullying behaviour.
  • The law in regards to leniency.
10 Old people whom try to look young [again] but fail to keep it up.:D
 
1] Housing Costs. (Average house in UK is now £241,000)
2] Driving Costs. (Petrol & Insurance)
3] VAT. (I fail to see the 'value' of this!)
4] Income Tax. (It's my money - I should spend it as I need it) NHS is b*ll*x now anyway.
5] Government mis-use of Income Tax.
6] Public Transport - Crap Services - Pay on trains to stand up!
7] People who think they can bully you to make you work harder/faster/better. (ie most customers).
8] Slackers who earn as much as me on benefits. Who probably drive sports cars with no tax/insurance or an f-ing license!!
9] People who cruise in lane 2 or 3 on the motorway, and refuse to move when you approach them.
10] People who walk straight into me, like I'm wearing a T-Shirt saying "WALK INTO ME!"

That's my top-10 gripes! :nod:

Cheers

I have 3 main charities i give to when i can & then if their is a big disaster or an appeal i might then give some. I got told recently by a charity street collector that i was a nasty person for not giving to them. I did explain i give to 3 already & then when i asked how much commision they got & how much they gave to the charity, suddenly she went very quiet!

I dont like the following:
Cruel to Children & the vunerable.
Cruel to Animals.
Those who think anyone who has had a mental health issue is mad
( a very good friend has had depression for 10 years and they are the most generous person i know, so what if they have been ill, but no one will give them a job:().
White Van Man who think they own the road.
Bus drivers for not thanking you for letting them out.
The list could go on!
 
1. Call centres and call centre staff who speak too rapidly (because they're probably bored of having to repeat themselves) and forget that you, the caller, haven't heard it before and really need to understand their garbled info.
2. Drivers who use (hand held) mobile phones when they're driving
3. People who drop litter, it's anti-social.
4. People who cough and sneeze over everyone. It's not pretty.
5. Appointment times that have been multi-booked - grrr
6. Aggressive cold-callers who will not accept "no thank you" as an answer.
7. Being asked to "take a seat" ..... to where?
8. Low lifes who trick their way into the homes of vulnerable people.
9. Patronising behaviour
10. PC - Political correctness, that is, when it's taken to extremes.
11. Planning Authorities who give permission for new buildings to be built in unsuitable places.

Oops! Can't count today - sorry about the extra one. I also agree with many of the things on all of your lists too. Nice to have a mini-rant isn't it ;) :thumb:
 
Oh yes, thank you Taffy :)

Definitely Litter.
& people who don't clean up after their dogs :wall:
