Advantages: None thats why I'm binning em!

Disadvantages: loads : )

When I first thought about writing an opinion for this catergory I always thought of myself as a laid back chilled out kinda person the more I thought about what really irks me I started to notice some erm well Victor Meldrew like tendencies.I throw out alot of the more silly petty personal irks because well you'd have thought the dear lamented Victor had ghost written this!

Obviously things like War, Nuclear arms, poverty, starvation, child labour, the whole of the Tory party and mad dictators should all be in Room 101 but lets not get too serious this is meant to be fun. So lets get down to the really irksome semi serious and silly stuff.

~Irresponsible dog owners~

You know the type they take Rover out for a walk, normally on the local reck ( thats playground for you southerners!)Let Rover of the lead, throw a few sticks, notice Rover has done the bizz and go home! then along comes a child and steps in the nice pile of doggy poo! A responsible owner on the other hand goes out with a load of carrier bags stuffed in their pockets to dispose of the aforementioned doggy poo, not a nice job but then neither is scrapping off dog poo from your shoes.

~Litter louts~

Why do some people feel the need to gobble down their choccie bar and then just toss the wrapper to the ground. The more irksome ones normally do it within sight of a litter bin! If my daughter who is nearly 5 can grasp the concept that you don't drop sweetie papers or other rubbish on the floor surely an adult can as well!

Another major sinner in these stakes is the bored motorist who is sat parked up waiting then decides the ash tray just might be a little too full. So instead of waiting till they get home they open the car door just wide enough to be able to casually empty the ash tray!

~Velour jogging bottoms~

Now before I'm accused of being sizist here I'd add that I'm not a size 10, never have been and never will
be!

You know the type of garment I'm talking about it's normally a day glo colour - Cherise pink seems to be a favourite, has an elasticated wait band and elasticated ankles. These are hideous! Worst still is it seems to be the favourite garb of ladies of rather ample proptions! Another garment that should also be binned is the shell suit!


~Thongs~

Now I'm bound to be shouted down here by those Ladies who will endeveaour to inform me they are sooooooo comfy and you should try one! The thong was invented by a male - has to be! Assethound once described the wearing of a thong as a kin to dental flossing yer nether regions. Well thats the clean version I wouldn't like to use her exact words as they were rather rude! She can be rather crude a times especially after a drop of whiskey (for drop read bottle)


~People who think they can just shout abuse~

I work in an NHS Outpatients department. We deal with up to a hundred plus people a day. Unfortunately the people that stick in our minds aren't the nice people but the people who think they have some god given right to hurl abuse, threaten and swear at staff.

Having developed rather a thick skin over the years I can calmly deal with situations, but the thing that really irks me most isn't the threats of violence its the swearing! Now I swear like a trooper but if say I was unhappy at service in a shop I dont think my opening line would be Oi yer stupid f'ing cow as has been a line used on me! The said gentleman ( I use the term loosely here) was escorted off the premises by secruity after I refused to engage in conversation with him further!

~Expensive car owners~

Nope I aint envious of them I like little cars well I can park them! But I do wonder how some people can spend 20 grand plus on a car that does not appear to be fitted with indicators as they cut me up. silly thing is they've more to lose then I have
in my old faithful Peugeout 106.

~Pushy Mothers~

I'm talking about those woman who live their life throw their kids. The kind of Mother who will proudly inform you that little Chantelle-lou is going to be a professional dancer whilest you sit watching the 4 year olds do a bad attempt at a piroette at the local dance class, the fact that little Chantelle - Lou has two right feet ( I'm left handed so it's right that is bad in my house!)and is about 2 stone over weight isn't taken into consideration as the poor kid is dragged to private lessons when all she'd rather be doing is play out with her mates!

"owww yer another caggy hander"

Being left handed has never been a problem for me, but that comment is rather irksome to say the least! I come from a family of 4 generations that are left handed so to me its you righties that are odd! I can remember taking Niamh for her pre school check up one of the tasks being she had to do a drawing which she did. My GP whispered in a low voice " have you noticed she seems to favour her left hand?" as if it was some hideous crime my reply was "well given her genes I'd be rather worried if she was right handed!"

~Cold callers~

You know the type they either knock on your door or ring you just as some thing good is starting on the telly, then refuse to take no for an answer. If I wanted a loan,double glazing,new gas/electric suppliers or my religious beliefs changed it would not be at 7.30pm on a week day evening and I'd call you!!

Now I'm going to shut up now as I can feel my blood pressure rising as I think of other items to include such as blue eye shadow, wonky supermarket trolleys, little old ladies that queue jump, boy bands,porno spam, Viagra spam Nimble bread..........
