Rawky we seem to have parallel lives. I can't even travel backwards on a train without getting sick.

I'm the same, can't travel backwards and reading makes me sick 

I read everywhere, even in a hostel at night because I can't sleep.

 

What irritates me is ppl leaving their spoon in the mug. Don't they know they will have to push it out of the way every time they take a sip or else wind their thumb around it for grim death.

 

PS. qick  nice to see you.

When I go on a train, I am ok until the train stops at a station and i'm looking out of the window. It either still seems like the train or the platform are moving. It makes me feel queasy 

I agree with both of those Rawky Grrrrr  

Knuckle crackers...   

 

my daughter does it..    and she has an OCD thing where she has to do every knuckle once she has done one..   so it ends up with me walloping her and chasing her round the room trying to stop her from continuing doing it.

 

she does it with her toes as well.

 

 

 

And...    people that say the letter H as  'haitch'..  instead of 'aitch'  

I agree with Rawky on people who can fall asleep easily

 

And Ditty on knuckle crackers. That would give me the heebie jeebies!

Anyone clearing their throat over and over

Just have a good cough.

 

Anyone who holds in a sneeze

Let it go

People calling me 'misses'.  Winds me up so bad that I got a new hairdresser because my old one always greeted me with 'how's you misses?'  Eh?  Then she's misses me a million times before I could get out of there.

 

And people not putting the wee cardboard bit from the loo roll into the bin.  Which is right beside the toilet.  They just sit it on the radiator/floor/cistern.  Anywhere but the bin.

Why oh why oh why do people put the loo roll on the holder with the paper against the wall rather than away from it?! Drives me bonkers. I've even told folk it would be easier to do it my way and they have. 

Good job there's only me uses my loo  

Yeah, I've got a 'waste paper bin' in there. Fortunately there's only me uses my loo 

That's precisely you should avoid this practice. In case someone else uses your loo.  *shudders*

I know.........I live in fear of that 

Why's that?

Whether at home or out socially people who are constantly checking their phone to see if they've got a message from whoever or from wherever

I'm with Ditty on the knuckle cracking and 'haitch' things, and you can add people who say 'drawring' to my list.

The adoption of "Americanisms"

 

And 'Rap'

"Yo - i'm from the streets,

I aint got nothing to eat,

No shoes on my feet"

this thread is great!

Sorry, but I fall asleep FAST! Just ask baz, I pass out mid post, a lot

I can also, and do, read anywhere!

The "haitch" thing I totally agree with!
And people saying "could of" it's "could HAVE"
And my mum says "point of milk" it's PINT!!!!!!

I tell you what I can't stand- people getting finger prints on the glass windows of doors- use the door handle people!!!!

Shockingly similar to my "Modern Day Annoyances"

But never mind . . .

people who make sandwiches/toast then leave crumbs all over the place after a half hearted attempted to clean them up

Crumbs amongst the butter - yuk!!!

Yessss! Crumbs- grrrrr

Yessss! Crumbs- grrrrr

that really annoys me especially toast crumbs

Oh I'm with you Xochiaxtecprincess, anytime they have it the 'wrong way around' I have to change it!

People who say 'of' instead of 'have'..... sorry but still irritates me

Ooo I love cracking my fingers and toes, haven't done it for years: big toes, thumbs and and little toes are best!

People who sit in restaurants tweeting and f'bing..if you REALLY have to, at least wait until you get home

Grown ups, who, in the office, behave like students again, (insert any 'fridge story at your will)

Theres a block of flats that's side on to where I live, and in the nearest house to me theres a big bright lamp that the neighbours have just started using, it's very bright, it shines right into my house, for most of the night, it's really annoying.

Yes, those who say would of instead of would have. Those who say haitch instead of aitch. Those who say particulaly instead of particularly. There's also a few other words that Newsreaders pronounce badly...why aren't they corrected before they go on air?.... I can't remember them atm as it's been one of those few days for several reasons and I'm brain dead atm .... Just remembered another word, why do some say ickle instead of little, I've come across this many times over the years on different forums, I've always assumed it's a regional word but have never understood how"little" became "ickle"

My neighbour's dog still getting in my garden even though I've blocked all the holes, he's now took to hurdling the gate to use my garden as his personal toilet  and she's got her daughter's dog for the day on Saturday  a Japanese akitta (sp) 

There used to be a product called "dog off!" But it's a question of finding odours or something offensive to dogs. In the old days of penny farthings you could carry a .22 pistol and shoot the buggers. But it isn't allowed now. Political correctness gone mad.

Foodies! Oh my days do foodies get on my wick!!

 

Okay, I get it that you like food and you like to try and taste various different foods from around the world, that's great and very open minded. BUT!!!! Do you really need to close your eyes with adoration and start orgasming over that mouthful of whatever you're munching on?
