bethany725 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 OK........... what bugs me BIG TIME is slugs!!!! particularly those that ate all my lettuce last night!!! I was really confused upon initial reading here.. I was wondering how in the world you sat down to a plate of lettuce in your home, and managed to just then notice that slugs were eating your dinner. Then it hit me.. you must have a garden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 OK........... what bugs me BIG TIME is slugs!!!! particularly those that ate all my lettuce last night!!!

poppy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) AND.... everybody makes mistakes and carries old wounds, they may not be as deep or as obvious, but they are there. You may be surprised where opportunities and/or help to overcome problems come from. I know I have made some proper humdingers and keep on being reminded of them by some lovely people. I think they do it as they like to feel superior...... that's their hang up not mine. I know I am not a bad person. I have no idea the nature of the mistakes you refer to, and neither do we need to, but many people need to be in the place where you are at, in order to adopt a tolerance and understanding of/for the next lot coming through. I think I am a nicer person to those in trouble because I have been there and done it.... in fact the t shirt is still in my drawer. Does that make any sense at all. I think you made some very wise observations here rwemad. Nothing like a few mistakes of our own to change our "I would never do that!" attitude. And it certainly makes us more compassionate towards other people. Edited May 11, 2009 by poppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 When someone sits at my desk at work and moves everything and doesn't put it back again. Oh and then walks of with my pens and my stapler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Another thing that bugs me...people who are patronizing. They are SO good at making others feel small and insignificant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 We live near a beauty spot that has almost a million visitors a year. It is at the top of a steep hill with narrow roads and hairpin bends. The thing that annoys me is idiots who drive in the middle of the road and won't get out of your way, and people who don't understand that double yellow lines are there for a reason. I also hate people who can't park properly and take up two spaces - if it was up to me I would make them pay for those 2 spaces, as they are preventing others from using them. Most of all though I hate those boom box radios and little louts, oh and people who don't respect others right to silence (which is the same thing as boom box radios anyway).

Scarlette Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Parents who can't control their children in public.... *sigh* I don't know who to be angry with anymore: the kids who jump on the shoe section's sofas, run around knocking things down, make attempts at undressing the dolls... OR the parents who sit by idly and watch their brats making my life miserable. And don't you dare talk to those kids. Oh, no, try that and you become the object of the Parental Glare - reserved for those who dare try to talk some sense into those perfect little angels.

Talisman Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I hate people who stare at my partner in public - as if they have never seen a man in women's clothing (if a woman can wear trousers, why can't a man wear a skirt). I just stare back at them - no one can hold my gaze for long ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedge Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Did you know that double yellow lines can be cancelled out if you park half on the road and half on the pavement? I learned that from one or two really considerate people along our road when I had to dice with death walking around them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I dunno if anyone has said this, but I hate it when people have their music on so loud on the train/bus that you can hear it clearly - or they play music on their phone loud speakers so we all have to endure the rubbish they are listening too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Bear with me When people find out I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and say to me 'oh you should get that sorted', because I haven't thought of that yet. Like Bethany, know it alls, (although sometimes I think I am a bit of a know it all, so I must bug myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany725 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Paula, that is hilarious.... "Oh you should get that sorted." What? Like you might have just thought "Eh.. I'll get around to sorting this out one day." Morons. And a BIT of a know-it-all never really irks anyone.. It's just the full-fledged version that will get ya.

Talisman Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I think we all have a bit of a know-it-all in us. The ones that used to bug me were the ones who used to come into my old job in an electrical store and ask loads of techie questions just to wind us up - they never did with the men, only the women - idiots ! What really bugs me though is dog owners whose animals are wearing muzzles or barking and trying to jump all over you saying "he/she won't hurt you". Why do some people find it so hard to accept that not everyone likes dogs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlette Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 When people find out I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and say to me 'oh you should get that sorted', because I haven't thought of that yet. This reminds me of how much it bugs me when people think they know everything there is to know about the medical profession and start giving often misplaced medical advice when they hear someone has a problem. I have a rather painful back muscle problem and I've heard every possible crazy "cure" for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewell Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ...or i hate it when people have preconceived ideas of wht a illness is really like or about. Like 'pull yourself together' or 'just force yourself to do things' when it comes to depression. As if it's just another form of lazyness and your just being miserable cause it seems like fun!

Fi. Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I really hate when people find out I have rheumatoid arthritis and their first response is always 'oh but you don't look old enough to have that' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second that. Unless you yourself knows what someone else is feeling, you really can't make a judgement on it or even really give advice, and a lot of people don't realize that.

NicolaJ Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'll third that - the depression example that is - very true. A couple of things that bug me, esp today: Putting the washing out and then it rains! Delivery companies who can't commit to a time for delivery so you wait in all day. Strangers who happily tell you you are hugely pregnant and must be due soon (nope, still got three months.... ) NicolaJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Strangers who happily tell you you are hugely pregnant and must be due soon (nope, still got three months.... ) Believe me, it's even worse when you're not pregnant to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
