Also, automatic revolving doors that are never at a normal walking speed.

People that walk too close to the doors in automatic revolving doors causing them to stop.

Sounds like you may fall into that category Matty and just to be clear, if you are then you're dead to me, regardless of how sensible a poster you normally are.

Think I've said this before,People who don't understand how lifts work and think they can change the direction of it mid flight because they want to go the opposite way up/down

Nope, that's not me but those people annoy me even though I know how pish the speed of the door is.

Crap automatic hand driers in toilets.
You realise that it's going to take hours si end up drying hands on your trousers.

The double-tap of the space bar to put a full stop on a sentence that somehow always ends up with me adding a 'b' at the end of the sentence.

[Pretty Boy]

Lazy people at work who don't understand the concept of being busy and putting a shift in so get perplexed when you sit quietly for a few hours to get something done.

I'm on holiday next week and had to get a big quote completed by yesterday afternoon. Got in, said good morning, made a coffee (for everyone) and sat down to concentrate on it. Didn't say much,without being rude, and then it started:

'What's wrong?'
'Nothing, I'm just busy'
'Busy? On a Friday?'
'Need to get this finished'

5 minutes

'Are you sure you're ok?'
'Yes fine I just need to concentrate'
'Not like you to be so quiet'
'I'm just busy'

10 minutes

'I've definitely done something to upset you haven't I?'

Well yes actually. Initially no but your constant interruptions, stream of irrelevant ***** and unwillingness to take a hint has now actually upset me. Just shut the **** up for a couple of hours and leave me in peace.

On a similar note and I'm sure this would have been covered earlier but folk that spend the whole day telling everyone who'll listen how busy they are and how ridiculous it is.

Stop ****ing speaking nonsense to people and get on with your work then and you might find your work load might actually go down a bit.

Is that what you do to do it? B is directly above the keyboard so it must be fat fingers doing the damage.

Folk that cycle along portobello prom like they're on a time trial and then seem peeved it's busy or a kid almost gets in their way.

You can add dog owners who have excitable dogs let off their lead that run up to kids too.

Extend that to dog owners with their dogs on a lead walking on the opposite side of the path with the lead acting as a tripwire for unwary pedestrians.

Porty prom can be a nightmare - some folk have no awareness of others.

I am a cyclist - although only weekdays at peak times.

I don't expect kids to be aware but I think it's great when parents teach them about it.

Teach them stuff? That's why they go to nursery, I'll leave that sort of **** to them.

People who double park and block you in. If there's no room in the street go and park somewhere else you inconsiderate idiots.

I think I mentioned that earlier in the thread, if I didn't then I should have.

My office comprises of 7 people. Out of that 7 I'd say only 3 of us actually perform the job expected of us in an efficient and timely manner. The other 4 are, to varying degrees, useless. It's even joked about on occasion by management and acknowledged, in a non joking way, by others who rely on us to allow them to do their jobs.

One of the people in my office found my payslip the other week because I dropped it and she had the cheek to moan that I was paid more than her. Took me all my time not to say I was paid more because I'm actually competent and do my job.

"dropped it" aye?!?
I'd do the same if it wasn't the fact we only got e-payslips. There's wasters in our team but they don't moan about money or NOT getting invited to any paid overtime, they're more than happy to steal a wage.

When I said parents I meant careers, teachers and nursery staff. Obviously. Parents just don't have the time to get involved in all that crap and I understand that.

Like the small tea plates they use in the photo to make the portions look massive.

[beensaidbefore]

People who drop litter in the street.

I said 'hey put your **** in a bin' to a guy on leith walk on Friday after he dropped his fag wrappers and a match on the pavement. His reply... 'what you want me to clean the whole street' a 30 second exchange later he still didn't think he was in the wrong, on the basis that leith walk has lots of litter already! How thick is that?

Someone tips their ashtray of rollup butts next to my lock up. There's a litter bin not 10 paces away.
Filthy, lazy bar steward whoever it is.

Surly staff at recycling centres. Dinny put that in there!
