Little old ladies who don't realise they need to pay/show a pass etc until they are face to face with the driver and then have to rummage for it while I am stuck in the rain in that gap between the shelter and the bus. |

Cyclists, they terrify me, think they can just stick out an arm as they pull in front of the car. Drivers who even after all the publicity insist on using their mobile phones whilst driving. I really want to pick up my phone & report them. Whoever is responsible for repairing the main set of pedestrian lights in the centre of Taunton. I'ts over a week since they stopped working, where the h*** are they. Grumpy Vivienne xx |

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. |

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. |

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! |

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. |

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! |

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! |

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