Being lonely

People who quote me back to me. Often when the quote is months and months old. So what if I said that! That's not what I am saying right now is it? There is a distinct inability for people to believe that others can change their minds.

People who take just a little too much satisfaction at someone else being embarassed.

Ok. That's the second referral to being embarassed I've seen you post. Anything you wish to share Spinks?

Recognising personal bad traits but not being able to correct them.

How long have you got? Also notice how most of my posts on PH starts with "people".Interestingly, most people I meet tell me how easy-going I am

The fact that most gents' loos don't have hooks to hang bags and coats. The floor of gents' are often "lakes". Not somewhere I want to put my shopping.

The fact that most loos are made for tiny wee people without coats and bags making you feel like a heffer should you try to get in while wearing a winter coat and carrying two bags...I'm not big it's the toilets that got small

I call it MaccyD's cos I don't have a better non-official name.
Wuh Huh Smith's, also.

Folk who, instead of saying 'you' (plural) say 'people'; 'What are people doing this evening?' F**k knows, why don't y' go and ask them?
The word 'people' in general. A feeble and grating little word... people-carrier, people-person.

Car adverts which make much of the fact that the vehicle is inappropriate, uneconomical and monstrous, like they're being all big and manly for standing up to environmental concerns.
Stupid 'models' who wear fur or claim they're 'not part of the anti-fur brigade' and act like they're striking a blow for freedom. Same if they smoke.
Folk who say 'Get off the phone, I want to check my emails'.

ah, and folk who go to McD's and apologise for it, using some feeble excuse like 'It's cheap.'

People who sleep during plays. If you need a nap, stay home.

People who take phone calls during a movie.

The fact that no pop video or performance on Top Of The Pops goes without a close up of a girl's bottom. A little imagination please!

Those local paper adverts saying:

"Come and meet Keith Chegwin at the opening of our new shop"

When more accurately it should read:

"Come and see Keith Chegwin in the distance over about 2000 heads"

So was the problem with the wording or Kieth Chegwin coming to town?

Being snobby about not using a microwave.

When people semd those horrid friendship chain letter thingies on the internet - I'm not going to get bad luck if I don't forward them - I've deleted hundreds and still exist! AARGH!!!

Car dealership commercials.

Free biscuits.

pathological liars

People who insist on leaving their mobile phone on when they're in the library and have loud conversations.

child-proof containers that aren't

But it's great when they get their comeuppance; these dolts standing around a machine they've perturbed with their stupid mobiles, whilst an irate library attendant fiddles with it and curses them.
