The posts about standing on seats reminded me of (yet another) pet hate of mine which is parents who let their children stand in the supermarket trolleys, regardless of whether their shoes could be encrusted with dog-shit; phlegm etc that they've picked up from the pavements

I have never heard of this but it is making me ROFL - what a great word 
I'm on the train now! No opportunity yet but I'll keep you informed!
Tbh the flying Scotsman is rather like a mature dating site, but one that travels at 125 and the ladies have briefcases, crackberries n iPhones.

Is the spectacled lady sitting on the bed there?
Another one that bugs me is when you see parents buying booze in shops and the children asking for sweets and the parent saying no, i'm skint 
They weren't able to procure a bed for coach M in time.
I'm now sat in the eurostar waiting area having just been turned over by the customs bobbies.
There's a spectacled lady sat on the bench opposite me mind.
I haven't chatted anyone up for years though but. You ladies have more idea. Do youse think if ah invited her fer a standy up back scuttle behind one er these pillaz it would work?
Please reply soon we'll have to board the trains soon and I bet she's off to Paris, the dorty hoo-ah.

Ask her and let us know how you get on 
Surely the correct chat up line is 'voulez vous couchez avec mois c'est soir?'
Not if they are from Doncaster!

Please keep us posted on your Euro adventures and any illicit/underhand/cross channel frottaging
Enjoy your trip GJ and let us know of any trivial things that may happen 
People who are behind you in a queue for the supermarket till, who think they're more important and inch forwards before you've even paid for your shopping
This happened to me earlier, I was about to put my card into the chip & pin and there she was, with a few notes of money in hand ready, nearly standing in front of the bloody thing! I almost said 'Oh are you paying for mine too? Cheers love' Argh why can't people wait 2 minutes out of their lives to respect others personal space?!
^ as you can see, this really annoys me
rant over
The bloke in front in the brussels midi carrefour queue couldn't find his cash, so i was bundled in front of him, whether i was more important or not...........
I also bought some cote d'or chocolate heffalumps and am now drinking jupiler. That's as trivial as i can make it.

I had a woman in front of me today in a shop and wouldn't even stop her convo on the phone while she searched for her card to pay, i kept my hands to myself though even the bloke on the check out was getting annoyed
Yeah...card machines at tills.
Cash or forget it...it's not rocket science.

One gripe I would like to add is that I HATE it when people have to comment when I am eating. Even if it's my own family or partner. When I get a bag of crisps or a couple of choccie biccies to have with a coffee, I don't expect it to be commented on. Sometimes someone will just say 'got some crisps have you?' YES I FECKING HAVE! So bastard what?! Why comment on it?!
And whilst we are on about people in shops and supermarkets. Aren't some people RUDE?! The rudest people by a country MILE is women aged around 50 to 70/75. They have the temerity to slag off teenagers and youths and yet they are much more polite than the women of THIS generation. I find men of all ages quite polite and courteous, but older women (not very old like 75 plus,) but that 50 to early 70s age group are the most obnoxious when I am out.
Every time I do my shopping, some rude old woman tries to shove me out of the way, and REFUSES to say 'excuse me' when they are trying to get to something,... Then they glare at me like they are the 'victim' when I refuse to budge! Say EXCUSE ME, and I will MOVE! You don't automatically DESERVE respect because you're 30 to 35 years older than me; you EARN respect. Treat me like shit and I will treat you with the contempt you deserve, no matter WHAT your age.
The other week in M and S, a couple (around 40 y.o) who were in front of me in a queue, kindly let me in front, as I only had a scone, but they didn't move at all, so I was wedged between them and the woman who was before them... (she was about 60...) Anyway, she was about to pay, and I was literally 2 feet behind her (not my fault) and she looked round at me and glared, and snorted, and I realised that I could see the card machine, ergo, I could see her pin number,... and SHE knew I was able to see it too.
I actually ignored her glare and looked straight ahead, as I frankly couldn't give a shit what her pin number is. And she looked at the husband and said' well what now then?' and he just looked blank, and the checkout assistant repeated what the total was that she owed, and this woman looked round at me another 2 times, and looked at the assistant and said 'well!!! well what am I supposed to do?' and she huffed and puffed, and then about 10 seconds later, she literally SHOVED me out of the way with her fat arse, and I went careering into the couple behind... She 100% had her back to me, so that she could show her disgust at my very existence, (and obviously because I was going to make a note of her pin number and rob her later of her cashcard, in order to empty her bank account.)
ALL she had to do, was to spin the card reader around away from me, but she simply HAD to let me know how ANNOYED she was that I was there! So she sent me flying with her fat arse. As she was leaving, I actually burst out laughing, and said to the couple behind AND the checkout operator.. 'I MUST write that woman's pin number down before I forget it!' And they all laughed. The woman looked around and glared, and OMG if looks could kill!

Who posted this and is no longer here?
Meat nappies.
They don't annoy me, I just don't like them. (when I say meat nappies I'm not talking about something Lady Gaga would wear, but the bit of absorbent stuff in the bottom of a pre-packed meat)
My neighbour's voice! Loud and shrill and incessant .. yipyipyipyip...

Hey, I also just noticed the post I quoted is by 'guest.' I didn't notice that before. I have a feeling it's not someone who got banned, as the name would still be there and it would just say 'banned' on the profile. So I suspect that someone may have de-regged. Who is it? Lori, or anyone watching, are you allowed to tell us?
Great post Cupcake

Well, that's my age bracket.... and a fair few other people on this forum! I definitely don't slag off teenagers, indeed q the opposite and I definitely don't think that rude people fall into a certain age range or gender.
Re the rest of your post, I honestly don't understand what you're saying. Did you not invade the woman's personal space and privacy due to 'wedging' yourself in when the couple who let you through didn't move??? Maybe I've misunderstood, but, as it's written it sounds like you were the one being rude!
I agree that older peeps can be much ruder than a lot of youngsters.
