    You mean misanthropy like?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Not exactly. I like people, but in much the same way as I like tigers, poisonous snakes, or thunderstorms. I'd rather not live somewhere full of them.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Yeah. Same. All my annoyances seem to start with 'people who...'
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          That reminds me - I like finishing peoples' sentences for them, if I can nip in before they have a chance.

          Annoys the hell out of most people, but at least it shows you're listening (unless the end bears no relation to what they would have said)

              I hate small talk - I can't do it; it scares me. I hate getting into a lift at work in case someone wants to hit me with small talk, and I hate getting my hair done for the same reason.

              What they said, plus;

              - rooms without windows with the possible exception of the crapper
              - people who don't use the words 'please' and 'thankyou'

                  People who are pushy and condescending when they don't know anything. However, they will tulip you in meetings, and try to put pressure on you and make you look stupid.

                  People who talk loudly on phones. Last week some bloke was yapping for 15 mins in a quiet carriage, until someone prodded him to shut up while pointing at the sign.

                  Idiots who stand in starbucks (or any takeaway) queue, and start scouring the menu only when they reach the counter. Why the feck can't you read it and decide what you want while standing in the queue?

                  People who whip out their life savings in copper coins while paying grocery in Tesco/Asda. Fecking move on!
                  I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.

                    Actually, I don't do it very often, only with people who sound very slow and uncertain, or with stutterers.

                      My mother-in-law.
                      Just the most dreadful person on the planet.
                      But to be fair to her, she hates me too.
