Things that annoy

[Troll]

Flour on top of baps. Why ? Flour isn't nice!

Rhubarb.

Clotted cream is far nicer

People who pull out into the road from junctions expecting you to stop then getting P!ssed off at you when you don't let them out, of couse they're so important that everyone else on the road has to make way for their journey, it's usually a Chelsea tractor with some mid 30's middle class wannabe transporting 2 kids the 500 yrds to school they could have walked!!! ...

Thats equality for you,

Nah, it's just indicative of what happens to people when they've lived in London for a little while.

I remember not so long ago seeing a blind guy with a cane in front of me about to go up the escalator on the tube and almost barging him out of the way so I wouldn't be held up by him. Then realising wtf I was doing.

Bit depressing really, people who normally I'm sure are decent people sit on the tube and look the other way pretending not to see her, women included. I'm old school like that but there are certain things that you shouldn't even have to think about in life, you just do because it's the right thing to do.

Ignorants barstewards who don't give my heavily pregnant (6+ months) wife a seat on the tube.

Happens on a daily basis.

Agreed, Often see people staring at the floor not noticing.

It must be one of those days - you posted at 8:38!!!!

Not on the mainland it isn't

Conversely (and I'm not suggesting your wife in this category), people that don't say thank you when you stand up and give them your seat.

Generally, rude people annoy me. And the cretins I have to deal with at work.

So far today...

1) People who don't wait for others to exit the lift or train carriage before trying to pile in.

Totally agree - I just push the ignorant southern terrys out of the way now.
Worst recent case was when I got out a station to let others off and a newly arrived woman pushed me out of the way to get on first, I nearly didn't manage to squeeze back on. Got her back by accidentally knocking her flying when we came to a sudden stop at the next station though.

Also stand right by lift doors on arriving at my floor. One bloke looked incensed that I insisted on getting out first.

Height of carp London behaviour was a bloke who jabbed me in the side of the head with his (open) brolly at a crossing - when I complained he laughed and said "you ain't from round ere are yah" as if assault is normal in London. I cannot imagine why any normal human would want to spend any time in the cesspool that is London.

Assaulted by an umbrella. You poor thing. Glad you pulled through.

Pondlife,

'3) People who walk into your office and just start talking to you whilst you're on the phone.'

Gotta say, I do that all the time to the bosses here, they sit on the phone all day and I ain't got time to keep going back and forth to their offices waiting for them to be off the blower

The old, is she fat or pregnant conundrum?
At 6 months she could be hardly showing and if she is too immobile maybe she should be resting up at home instead of scamming companies with false productivity when all she is doing is eating and falling asleep at her desk.
There are badges for this situation. And if you are really annoyed, just ask politely and someone will be falling over themselves with embarrasment to give up their seat.

I would do, given the chance, the level of common courtesy, decency and friendliness improves the instant I leave our stinky capital and improves steadily as I travel North :-)
