    Yeah, but don't we all?

    The fruit sticker phenomenon is as widespread as that other major niggle; people (again, almost exclusively females) who dot their letter i 's with a circle.

              No matter what men say. They can be nagged into changing their ways. Trust me.
              What happens in General, stays in General.
              You know what they say about assumptions!

                P.S. Given your work location, it could in theory be the same chap.

                    Wet towels on the bed or worse found in the spare room after he goes to work on a Monday Morning... - might just be pushed for time

                    Opening post and leving the envelope on the side - put it in the bin FFS - recycle it by using them as post it notes.

                    Instead of rinseing the cup you are using, taking a new one from the cupboard just to put another cup of tea in it - Its nicer out of a clean cup/mug


                    Women who leave the price stickers on the soles of their footwear - no need at all.

                    Women who don't have bras that fit them and end up looking like they have 4 boobs - I think that's ok

                    Women with a sprinkler attachment in the pub loo - no love I don't want to sit in your piss thanks very much - So its not always the man then !

                    Smelly people - agreed.

                      Dig the elbow in as you push past to signal your annoyance.

                      I am just re-hashing stuff I've already put, but...:

                      People who hold the door open when you're 15 miles down the other end of the corridor, forcing you to walk slightly quicker/start doing that annoying trotting thing while they stand there grinning like an idiot. You want a f@cking medal for making me trot in heels? Shut the door, GO AWAY!!!

                      I still always mumble thank you.
