Annoyances.

People are getting more and more inconsiderate, yet at the same time, all the more insistent that others heed their rights and don't upset them in any way while they completely ignore their responsibilities.

Small things like saying please, thank you, excuse me etc. are simple gestures, but they make life so much more pleasant for everyone. When I hold a door open for someone and they barge through without thanking me, I can't help myself saying "you're welcome". I didn't do it because I wanted to be thanked, but just recognising a common courtesy seems to be way more than many people can manage now.

Oh, and there are so many driving-related annoyances I don't even want to get started on them, but I'll just say this one word - tailgating!

People who say they're vegetarian but then say 'although I do eat fish/chicken sometimes'.

You're not really then, are you. That's a pet peeve of mine.

It's like it became trendy to say that. I told one of my friends to call himself a pescatarian (he eats only fish). I'm hoping that word will catch on.

It really irritates me when you sneeze and no one says "Bless you"...especially when you're with people you know and someone else just sneezed before you and everyone said "Bless you" to them. Am I not good enough to be blessed?!

That's what I thought - people believed that it somehow made you cool.

Lol I've been saying a lot of "ME TOO!!"s reading this thread. The pram thing, the amount of mothers who endanger their children's lives by ramming their damn pram into the backs of peoples legs just isn't funny.

Cruelty to animals, I just can't stand...I often wonder what kind of person it makes me that I get far more teary eyed at watching RSPCA adverts than NSPCC ones. Its not that I don't care for kids or anything, just the thought of someone hurting their lil animal makes me wanna cry. My worst nightmare is some rat bastard round my way sets their bloody staff, the ones they've trained to fight!, onto my kittens

I've actually been challenged in the street by 10 year olds to make my staffie fight with their bull mastif!!

The underground at Rush hour makes me MAAAADDD!!! I work on Oxford St in London and I'm definitely not the most patient person so you can imagine what its like in rush hour! I don't know how the doctor can say I've got low blood pressure, she should give me a call at 5:25! I can tell you its not then!!

Biggest ever pet peeve though - gotta be the chavs. The anti-social teen situation has gotten WELL out of hand. Everyone is wary of them what with the amount of fatal beatings and stabbings and gang killings theres been in the news and they totally play on it. The CHILDREN i've had trying to intimidate me whilst i'm walking home alone from work is just unbelievable! 4 years ago I was beaten up at the bus stop wen I had just moved to my area by little 14-16 year olds (ok not so little...I'm 5ft2 and a couple actually towered over me), they'd been drinking Lambrini and were taking the piss out of what I was wearing (heavily into Heavy Metal and it shows!). The 3 lil ones drinking lambrini doused me in what was left and dropped the bottle at my feet so I slung it after them to make them run off a bit quicker as I was quite mad!

Then two older ones, still younger than me though, started mouthing off that I was breaking glass "where their babies walked!". Told them to bugger off and it was none of their business. In short I got a fist through the nose, hair pulled and head yanked between my legs and got a thorough nose kneeing. The other 3 came back and joined in, one decided to take her flip flop off and tried spanking my mate with it - such brutality! I came out of it alright for what I was up against really - a hangnail and about 50% less hair. Worst part was though, I had my 9 year old cousin with me at the time and no one came to help us even though we were clearly outnumbered.

End of my long point though, sorry for the essay...these kids are Hyenas. They're cowards end of the day, they pick on the weak and the alone and join in on other fights reguardless of who it is or what started the fight (finishing off others leftovers). And that laugh! That laugh when you're trying to stick up for yourself or when they've caught sight of what you're wearing. Its an awful cramp on your self esteem. And they do all this just for the fun of it and I hate that its reduced me to being intimidated by a bunch of children especially when I'm walking home alone because I still see these girls now. Even when i'm with my boyfriend, who has a bloody loud gob on him, I keep telling him to quiet down when girls and guys make fun of him. It's the fact that you don't know what they have or who they'll call over to join in!

I'm telling ya, 10 years when the UK gets over-run by these rats, I'm moving to canada!! Sorry for long rant but it was nice getting it off my chest

tigerli17 - that is awful. It reminded me of the recent killing of a girl who was with her boyfriend, they were goths and both got attacked. She was stamped on and her life support machine had to be turned off. The boyfriend was in a coma. A completely senseless attack. The little sh*ts will be out in a few years.....

It is very scary what's going on in this country. Every week there is news of a new teen killing

Tiger I totally know what you mean although I must say that They're not all liek tht and I've met plenty of alternative kids who are the same way. It's the whose 'Us vs Them' thing. Though I've been lucky and only ever had a few people mouthing off at me since I moved down here. But Stoke on Trent is worse than Folkestone.

But yeah if it gets any worse down here and I haven't moved up to Stornoway by then, I'm going to Amsterdam.

That sounds insane.
I think its sad how these days people cannot feel save walking home at night. I hate the whole daylight savings, its not dark at 6:30pm and my doc starts work at 6pm. So I've been walking an extra 10 minutes just because I can't cut though the park without being scared for my life.

V15U4L_3RR0R - Oh it is where I've lived. I'm in the "Cray" in orpington now - trust me, I didn't know it before I moved here but whenever you say that around Orpington area you get a lotta reactions from it. Everyone knows what a crap hole it is. It rivals Peckham and Brixton - both of which I've lived in before too. I haven't lived in very good areas I must say though its not through lack of trying, quite a lot of places are just ruled by these anti-social kids now.

Its just so hard to restrain yourself when these kids are constantly on your back, just wanting you to give them the slightest reason to kick your head in. And they will torment and tease you till they get it too. Theres no justice in it at all. I can understand the whole Us vs Them but I don't condone it, it just adds fuel to the fire. But its hard to not get sucked into it when its what the other side wants.

End of the day - big groups of young kids smoking, drinking and being loud = nervous me.

Yeah I read about her and felt just awful for her family. She sounded like such a lovely person and all because of these kids small mindedness she was just snuffed out. That story is all I think about when I'm out with my boyfriend and we get comments thrown at us now - could be us, or any of my friends, in the paper next.

I always end up in scum holes....Then again where isn't there scum these days?

Well exactly. You get people like that where ever you go these days. As cool as Canterbury is, you get plenty of scum there as well in places.

Don't move to Nottingham unless you want to get shot.

Lol we could make a NOT-TO-GO guide of England. Don't visit New Cross/Peckham unless you want to be drive by-ed also. Also watched a thing on Margate - don't even bother with there! scary stuff...

Can't wait for the next solution they got for treating these "yobs" - which they paraded in the paper to call them and then were told not to as it was apparently offensive to them. Who could forget the fabulous Hug-A-Hoodie statement....
