    I frickin hate people who say nothing to you, not even an acknowledgement when you open the door for them, especially when you could have gone first. Lifts are another annoying one when you're trying to get out, when some twat pushes to get in.
    The lift is a nightmare - especially when you are trying to get out with a pushchair. Let me bloody well out and then you can get in.

    However, I don't let it **** my day up. It's a display of their ignorance, not yours.
    I can't help it - I get really mad.

      me too, why do single people who see you are with 3 -4 young kids trying to get out of the lift assume they are supposed to push in to the lift while you are ushering the kids out?

        When the kids had pushchairs
        Lazy fat $*x* who hog the lift in stores to go up one flight of stairs. I've even seen them push infront of people in wheelchairs. Same people park in disabled bays.

        Used to pee me off no end.

        With respect to passing on the stairs. Doesn't that one come out of superstition dating back to times of Yore? I.e. it was considered bad luck to pass on the stairs.

        Similarly with saying "Bless you" when someone sneezes related to belief in the vulnerability of ones soul when sneezing.

        Must admit I'm not comfortable with the ones related to superstition.

            If someone does'nt try and take hold of the door I always try to let go. I also hate people who eat on the street

              That's the second time I've seen you misspell that word recently. Learn to spell you ignoramus!

              The apostrophe replaces the missing letter, i.e.

              doesn't
              wasn't
              didn't
              can't
              isn't

              etc.



              EDIT: Google reveals that you consistently misspell these

                Unless they are foreign teenagers - you know the ones you see in summer being a damn nuisance - either give them an elbow and help push them out again, or say something loudly about their lack of common sense.

                  I find if you shout "BOMB BOMB", that tends to have the desired effect.
