WEll we got what made you smile, what made you sad etc...so what really grinds your gears?
I have several pet hates (and high horses), one of them is people (especially adults) who use text "speak" when writing me an email. I understand the need for these abbreviations when you can only use 140 characters and have a lot to say, but when you have unlimited space and only want to say hello, how are you....thats a whole different matter.
Yes its easy to fall into text chat sometimes.
I try and write in non text form now and once you have done that its a nice habbit to write in non text form..
People who barge into you in shops , but say excuse me as they do it like its ok same goes for people who hit you in the back of the head with handbags when your bobbed down looking at something,,
This could be a combination of 'Room 101' and the 'Random Rant' topics lol

Oh I've got loads.. People who take an age in front of you at cash points. People who have full blown conversations with the woman on the till in supermarkets when you're behind in a hurry. People that let their kids run riot in cafes/pubs and don't care what they are doing. People that push in at the bar
I'm sure there are more but they spring to mind straight away..
How about young men (and some women) who's jeans hang round their knees despite them wearing a belt. Everytime I see one I want to give them a severe wedgie and a lecture on where their fashion started and what it means now.
peeps not saying thank you if you stop to let their car come through when there is only room for one vehicle...
cars parking right up on pavement so no room to even walk on pavement
cars drivin far too freckin fast down a street full of houses...
hmm seems to be a theme here!!!!
cars drivin too fast in parks where htere are dogs and kids....
People who stop their trolleys at the end of an aisle in a supermarket and block it for any one else to go past. When I go shopping and am at the till I have my payment or card ready and waiting, the one in front, sorry but mostly women, have to be told how much and then start to rummage thru their bags for their purse, Ayone who can't make their minds up, what they want to do or what they want, I think ditherers is the correct name. Last one for now people I work with who are not willing to do their fair share and need reminding very five minutes what they are there for w*****s I think is correct.
Good one suz,me too and many times i let cars through if am in my car or my van and dont get even a wave or thank you.
Still wont stop me doing it mind as most do say thanks and is just a few that dont.
i also find me gears grindin when peeps on tram dont get up for an elder person, pregnant woman or kids.... jus sit there...... manners dont seem to exist to a lot these days they seem to see them as a weakness
its all about aaaaaaaatiiiiiiii tuuuuude bread bin
People who don't pick up after their dogs
A**holes that park in parent/child spaces when they have no children
People driving round in cars at night with only one headlight or tail-light
Paedophiles
Liars
Most BMW drivers
and if I were allowed to be completely honest on here, the list would be endless
Traffic lights, particularly the ones that are on red at some godforsaken hour in the morning!!!!! You sit there and nothing is on the roads but you just know if you go through 'em a copper will appear from nowhere!!!!
People standing too close to you in a queue and they're pushing their bag into your back or are just that flippin close they're breathing down your neck......yuck
Cars parked right on a corner and you can't see passed them to pull out!!!
People who queue up for 20 minutes and then get their purse/wallet out.
People who think they deserve parking privileges because they've managed to breed. Sorry Boss, didn't see you there.
People who put burnt matches back in the matchbox.
Being treated like a leper because I smoke.
Kettles that take forever to boil.
