little things that make us cross…
-
I’ve just been in the post office, big queue, the person behind me insisted on standing really close to me,
so close I could feel them breathing on me, ugh!
This seems to happen me every time I go to the post office, I always seem to end up standing in front of
the person who smokes rolled up camel dung and has boiled goats bowel for breakfast.Not such a big thing, but it makes me a bit cross…
So, what little things make you cross?
Spoiled kids who throw a tantrum when they dont get what they want

on the phone to serve you(this bugs the s”£te out of me)If I may… in no particular order.

09. Fellas that take 20 minutes grooming to come up with those hairstlyles that look like they’re supposed to be messed up in the first place
08. Cars Drivers on the opposite side of the road that flash at you because you came within 0.25km of them when passing out another car
07. Queue skippers

People who don’t know how to drive on roundabouts, or purposefully use the wrong lane to avoid a queue of cars in the right lane, risking an accident by pulling in front of the car in the correct lane in order to save 30-60 seconds.
People who can’t park between 2 white lines.
People who have to ask the same questions over and over again and never learn when you try to show them what to do (I work in IT…)
People who see my red and white striped Southampton jerseys and presume I’m on the sunderland bandwagon… though that’s not such a problem anymore since Keane left.
People taking smoking breaks in work. I don’t smoke. Can I get a 5 minute tea drinking break every hour on top of my breaks? Of course not.
I’m sure there will be more from me too
oh!!! The World Vision ad on the radio at the moment.
How dare children not be aware of the political economics of the third world. They should be damn grateful for going to school and having vegetables on their table and never complain about anything and never feel sad, or annoyed, or think things might be ‘unfair’… They don’t know how bloody lucky they are.
The ad is like a pompous priest’s sermon
poo boy.
How could they do that to a child?
how could anyone think that was a well written ad?Greedy, pushy parents…

Also Romanian woman begging whilst holding small babies, especially so during the winter months. No place to bring up a child.
Large groups of foreign exchange students who gather in the middle of a shop for a chat.

1. Same as Jess, I value my personal space. I would never have thought to
add it to my list but what about people who prod you as they talk…and talk

unannounced and then – amazingly – happen to have a broken computer
