    anybody who calls you up in the middle of your dinner to flog you financial products and agree to them on the phone.

    'No, you d*ckhead! I want it in bl**dy writing - send me a brochure and I'll decide what to do it or file it in the round filing cabinet'

    Come to think of it - anyone who rings up to sell you something in the middle of dinner.

      Or just before it, so that when you finally make it to the kitchen, it's ruined.

              People who jump out of their seat as soon as plane wheels hit tarmac and start unloading baggage into other peoples laps before racing down the aisle to get off first.

              People who think they're going to get an email on their f'ing blackberry at 60,000 ft and so subtly check it every five mins.

              People who can't control the volume on their ipods.

              People who jam the seat back as fast as they can without looking behind them first.

              People who don't apologise when they smack a baby in the head with their seat causing it to cry for the next hour.

              People who take babies on flights





              I think that's about it at the mo.

              I think I can summarize that: -

              people

              You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                People who are intolerant of other people's habits.

                I would suggest that the problem lies more with the person being intolerant, than the transgressor themselves.
                Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                  If anyone reclines a seat on us on a short / medium haul flight then we just let our six year old sit in the seat behind them and kick the back of the seat repeatedly until they get the message. Failing that, it's the old sharp push on the back of the seat just as they are putting a drink to their lips.

                    Not that I would ever put my seat back on a plane (except in business class) but I was on the receiving end of this particular method of in-flight torture for 12 hours from LA to Heathrow in 2000.

                    Did I say anything to the kid or his parents? Of course not, I'm British! I just sat and quietly fumed the whole flight.

                      17. Email spammers, I would have to come up with something especially nasty in the execution method for these people. Torturing to death over a couple of excruciating months would be far too good for them
