Hmmmm....

Go on, it'd be a giggle.

Having my Personal Space filled with rubbish by other resarchers

Having my Personal Space filled with rubbish by other researchers

You know you want to Mr D, do it. Say we made you.

Petty hate: vending machines that take an irrational dislike to my money

Well, I do have a big paper recycling bin by my desk...

*sucks air in through teeth, tuts and shakes head*

Very flammable that is, Mr D, if yous don't mind me sayin. Go up like a powder keg with one carelessly dropped match.

Sorry?

Th*rsday?

Oh, well. Too late. Have to do it next week.

Bin / refuse men that leave a mess while collecting the rubbish

I hear you, Mr. D- we have the same thing happening here every Wednesday, and I always want to set the damn alarm on fire.

And I agree with LW- aren't the bin men supposed to COLLECT the rubbish, not create more?

I hear that LW... especially if it's stinky stuff like meat or nappies from a bag that's split.

Dogs have a special talent for tearing the smelliest bag in a pile and thoroughly scattering it all over the place!

The juice from the dustcart when the squash the rubbish gets on our drive

Drivers who get huffy when someone doesn't visibly acknowledge a little courtesy they've shown them.

What do you want me to do? Get your address and send you a proper thank-you card? Maybe the fact that it was such a narrow road that you had to pull over to let me pass also means that I feel safer with both hands on the wheel, rather than having to raise one in a grateful salute?

How rude! You should've stopped in front of him, forcing him to stop, to allow you to personally thank him at his window 'tis just common courtesy- I do it all the time

I dislike salt and vinegar

people who wallow in self pity

I'm with you on that one LW!

Granny, I'll have all your salt and vinegar crisps if you don't want them

Grannies that suck the flavour of the chrisps and put them back in the packet

I hate salt and vinegar crisps, and BBQ ones, and cheese and onion, and prawns. I like it simple and salted.

Picky eaters
