What pisses you off? meme.

Things that make you go GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things that send your blood pressure through the roof.

Is it whenever you are in a particular supermarket there are hundreds of people stacking shelves and no-one on the tills?

Is it the sucking noise that car mechanics do when you ask them for a quote?

People who don't wash their hands in the loo *coughmencough*?

People who don't use doggie bins?

Post it here. Get it off your chest. Shout scream and rage. from tellers to bureaucrats, suethors to traffic wardens.

The only rule is that you don't say I hate [livejournal name]. Celebs however are fair game.


People who don't know the width of their own cars
People who give way when it's THEIR right of way
People who use their headlights for a "go ahead" signal
People who don't have indicators on their cars (or so it SEEMS)
Lawyers
People who mistreat animals.

Oh god. You did it. This may take some time...

1. People who don't say please and thank you. Especially people who don't say thank you if I hold a door open for them so I feel like a sodding doorman.
2. Random strangers who think it's OK to invade my personal space and touch my belly just because I'm pregnant.
3. Men.
4. People who drive and/or park inconsiderately.
5. Shop assistants who carry on a conversation while they're ringing your stuff through, thereby forcing you to rudely interrupt them to tell them you didn't actually WANT it rung through, you just wanted to know how much it cost.
6. Morrisons. Worst. Supermarket. EVER.
7. PC World and Dixons. I worked for them once. I left for reasons that are too long to go into, but suffice to say that their staff manual opened my eyes to just how mercenary and immoral they really are and I WILL NOT shop there.
8. This phrase: 'This isn't a sales call, but...' *sound of phone slamming down* And also, telesales people who don't take the hint when I politely tell them I'm not interested, thereby forcing me (once AGAIN) to be rude and tell them to FUCK OFF. I really hate being rude.
9. Jehovas witnesses who come to my house and offer my kid religious propaganda without asking my permission.
10. Loan companies who prey on people who are desperately in debt.
11. Newspapers and the news on TV when they show extremely distressing pictures of injured or dead people at a time when my child is likely to be in the room.
12. Tom Cruise.
13. Women who drop their kids off at school in their 06 registration SUVs with their make-up already done and their designer clothes, and then shoot off to the gym and moan because they have to cut their manicure short to pick the kid up again. And also look at me with either disapproval or pity because I work. I LIKE WORKING.
14. Women who dress their little girls in clothes that make them look like mini-hookers.
15. Fathers who teach their sons to call other boys poofs if they don't conform to their fucking ridiculous macho ideals.
16. Doctors who think their patients should bow down to them like gods and accept everything they say without question.
17. Employees of large corporations who really don't give a shit whether they have your business or not or whether you're being ripped off because they know you have very little alternative than to sit there and take it up the arse. (Sky are just about the best example of this that I can think of).
18. Pizza delivery people who forget the ice cream, when the only reason I ordered the sodding pizza was to get the ice cream.
19. People who ask me if I'm pregnant when I'm not. Likewise, people who think I'm just fat now I'm pregnant. If you're not sure, DON'T MENTION IT.
20. Teachers who pigeon-hole children into little boxes and jump in with the negative labels as soon as they find a child that doesn't precisely conform.
21. Surprise guests.
23. Anyone who calls me either before 9am or after 9pm.
24. The woman over the road who keeps looking through her sodding curtains into my living room and then tells my neighbour things she's seen me doing.
25. People who don't pay me on time.


I could go on. I should probably stop. I feel cleansed now. *takes deep breaths*
(And because it just happened: 26. Clients who expect me to do 'tiny little jobs' for them at *checks time* 11.21pm just because they know I work from home.)

The pigeon holing is something to be vastly fought against. It happens in fiction - I personally HATE the genre thing (sci-fi, romance, fantasy, blah blah) I simply had no idea of its existence before I started to try and sell. I just buy books. I don't want my libraries to be pigeonholed..

SUVs (and I don't even know what that stands for) with Cattle bars.

Surprise guests! OMG YES! So many people can have their houses all wonderful so it doesnt matter, but mine takes a week to sort out. truly.

people who LIE. I don't mean "oh you look lovely" but I'm talking internet getting to know you lying.

9am - 9pm. ditto. i would NEVER call anyone before or after. NEVER.



on a nother note, I appear to have missed this weeks Lost. How annoying.

SUV= Sports Utility Vehicle

I loathe them. They are pretentious and the Hummers are the most pretentious of all.

If you need something with room buy a flipping mini van. Yes they aren't that cool...but with three kids and a dog I am not really caring....lol.

Precisely the reason why I don't like surprise guests. I need an absolute minimum of twenty-four hours notice. Apart from that, I have so little free time and if people just turn up it throws my whole day off. I'm forever getting visitors just as I've sat down to do something with Sam, or just as I've got him busy so I can have a sit down or get some work done. Once in a while I can deal but I have some serial offenders around here. They always say 'just say if I'm in the way' but of course I never actually do.

Oh, and I have to add flat-packed furniture to the list. ALL SODDING DAY it's taken me.

2. Random strangers who think it's OK to invade my personal space and touch my belly just because I'm pregnant.

OMG...word. Also when I had the twins? People thought they could come up and touch them! I don't know you from adam..so don't come up and touch my babies.

God yes, I had that with Sam. Random people with bad breath and questionable personal hygene sticking their faces in the pushchair and grabbing hold of him... UGH!
