Advantages: None!

Disadvantages: Everything!

I love ranting... It's a fact. Many of my reviews are in the Discussion section because I like ranting, however, saying that, I'm a very easy going person.
If I was actually allowed a room 101 it would probably be massive... But here are a few things that REALLY infuriate me...


PEOPLE WITHOUT MANNERS:
It frustrates me so much that the world seems to have forgotten how useful things such as 'please' 'thank you' and 'excuse me' are in the world. I hate people who barge past you without saying 'excuse me' and people who presume you are going to move, so they don't even make an effort to partially get out of your way. 'Please' and 'thank you' are such simple words, and it's one of the first things you get taught as a child, so it doesn't make sense that as you get older you just forget to use such words. It's so simple and makes life so much more pleasant!


PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DRIVE PROPERLY:
I'm a learner driver, so I can hardly comment, however it infuriates me endlessly when people can't drive properly. The main thing I can't stand is people who can't use their indicators. They are there for a reason. They let people know which direction you are going in so they don't crash into you. No indicator = bigger likelihood of crashing. I'm cautious when I'm driving, and a couple of times I've thought "they're going to fast to be turning that corner" so I've waited and hey presto, they haven't turned the corner, so if I'd gone, there would have been a crash! Argh. One of the first things you learn is about indicating... Just do it!!!
Also, people who can't use their lights properly and either don't have them on when it's dark, or have them up SO high that people driving in the opposite direction can't see... Why?!
Oh also, people who can't park properly. I'm learning to drive and therefore, to park. It's hard sometimes... But even I know that if I don't park properly, straightening up is what you need to do! Because how often have YOU been infuriated by someone taking up 2 parking spaces because they couldn't be bothered to sort out their parking. It's only takes an extra minute!


PUSHCHAIRS:
Yes, I know, a pushchair is big and hard to control at times, but having one does not mean you own the area you walk on. If there is a pushchair coming towards me I will, of course, move out the way. However I don't like the way people pushing them barge into you sometimes as if they don't think you have a right to be standing where you are. I'm sorry, I would be a lot happier to move if you didn't seem to think that you own the area you are standing on. It especially annoys me when the child isn't even IN the pushchair. If you're not going to use it.... Why is it there?!


SUPERMARKET SHOPPING:
The queues... The inconsiderate people with their trolleys... The children running around bored and screaming... I hate supermarkets.
The self-service tills are either really fun, or just aggravating. There are so many people who can't use it, that I usually laugh at, however they can be SO tempramental at times that I understand why people can't use them! You scan something and put it in the bag... and it tells you that you didn't put it in the bag. BUT I DID! So then you have to take it out... and it wants to know why you removed an object... CAN YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND?!
People who leave their trolleys in the middle of the aisle whilst they go off to the side to spend half an hour looking for the perfect piece of meat... only to give you a dirty look if you so much as touch their trolley. Well don't leave it in such a stupid place then!
When I was a little girl I got lost in Tesco (I don't know how... I was only about 5 and I ran off...) and I cried, and probably panicked like mad. However, children who cry for what seems for the pure sake of it in supermarkets... Usually because their parents won't let them sit in their trolley! For goodness sake, your child is causing everyone in shops eardrums to burst, just let them sit in the damn trolley! Surely giving in to your child is less embarrassing than dragging round a trying toddler who is tired and doesn't want to walk anymore.


PEOPLE WHO CAN'T TALK PROPERLY:
I'm only a teenager, but I get so irritated by people who can't speak properly. We all get taught the same English language, we all know how to say things. I'm not against abbreviations, or culture differences obviously, but I mean the basic things. When you hear people talking, and you know they're speaking 'English' but you have no idea what they're trying to say, because it's all 'modern' and none of it makes any sense. The English language changes with the times, but it just frustrates me sometimes.
Also people who don't type properly. This shouldn't bother me, but it really really does. I can't stand people who abbreviate every single word when they're typing so it's almost impossible to understand. How much time does that really save you? If I ever try and do that I have to think so hard about what I'm abbreviating, it would be quicker to type normally!


DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS:
When I call you up and feel like I'm dying, I'd really like an appointment as soon as you can give me one! However, if this is a week later, I'm usually feeling much better by then, and sometimes almost feel bad for wasting the doctors time... I felt like I was dying when I phoned up... Honest! I understand that doctors are really busy, but having to call days in advance for appointments seems somewhat ridiculous. It's just wasting their time, and ours.


I think that's a good selection of things which get on my nerves! I'm sure there are more, which I may add at some point!
Sorry for the ranting!

Summary: Can I put them in there? Please? :)
