Parents that eff and blind at their kids in public 'Come here you effing little git' is not my idea of educating a toddler. Mothers that overhang kerbs with babies in buggies. One slip, that's all it takes. Turn the thing slightly sideways! Then if you slip, are jostled or even faint, your child stays out from under the wheels of whatever. Shop assistants that look over the heads of children waiting patiently, to serve me or any other adult that may be standing behind them. What's the matter? Their money not legal tender or something?? Their custom not as important? Oh, lots of grumbles. I'm definitely a grumpy old woman. Mags xx

Hubbies who spend ages ratting around ostentatiously in cupboards and drawers looking for something, while I am taking a well-earned rest with a book....just waiting for me to say 'What are you looking for?' and then to get up and find it!! Beverley from Perth

People who hog the middle lane at 60mph in an otherwise empty Motorway and NEVER look in the mirrors.

The tide of unadulterated, noxious, hypocritical venom churned out by large sections of the media. Untalented, arrogant, vain people who call themselves 'celebrities'. People who LITTER!! Reality TV, and TV shows about selling your home, buying your home, decorating your home, knocking down your home and re-building it, the pitfalls of getting someone else to do all of the above.....YAWN!

Adverts on tv for Injurylawyerswillgetasmuchmoney4u(and themselves). They really annoy me. So do any for a certain double glazing company which features a BOGOF offer. Truly dreadful!! Ah, that's better!

Shop assistants who stop dealing with a queue to answer the phone. It makes me want to yell 'WE WERE HERE FIRST' After all, we did take the trouble to actually GO to the shop.

Friends who stand chatting in the aisles of supermarkets, blocking the way, and managing to stand just in front of the thing you need to buy - ditto shelf-packers..... Supermarkers who seem to know what I want to buy and put it on the top shelf out of reach of my 5'....... Mothers of small children, who scream and shout at them, making far more racket than the child... Supermarkets who advertise bargains, and when you look for them the space where they should be is empty.... Assistants on the meat counter at Sainsburys who do not wear those plasticky glove things, cut different meats on the same slicer without cleaning it..... Do you think I don't really like shopping......you're right!

I agree Grampa. Phones in general. Whether it's shop assistants or as other people have mentioned - loud mouthed mobile phone users, telephone sales calls to tell me I've won a holiday in the Costa del whatever or to try to sell me more of that wretched double glazing, or the fact that despite everyone having a phone, you can't speak to them because it's switched to voicemail.

Parents who don't have small children on reins or wrist leads in public and then spend all their time screaming at and threatening the poor little people.
