AAAAARRRRGGGHH!!! Rants & raves - things that make me homicidal, or just make me go 'hmph!'. Tolerance when deserved I can manage, but I don't suffer fools gladly. Just don't get me started, OK...
BOO HISS! Things I just can't be doing with (in no particular order)
Cruelty to animals - brings out the homicidal maniac in me.
Screaming tantrummy kids - as above.
Being interrupted or talked over - again, as above...
Being badgered by cold callers trying to sell me double glazing/a new mortgage/the meaning of life when I get home from work - do they not think I have anything better to do in the evenings?
Bad spelling/grammar - I'm a spelling nazi & proud of it.
UK public transport, especially trains - overpriced, overcrowded & never on time!
Being asked 'So what's this Goth thing all about then?'
Not being able to answer the above question in less than a 1000-word dissertation.
Being too hot or too cold - hurrah for temperate climates!
Not having enough hours/days/weekends to do all the things I want to do in life!
People in general *really* get my goat, so here's a special list purely for people who should be shot on sight...or at least given a hefty slap with a wet fish.
People who think they are 'real' vampires (psychic or otherwise) & give the rest of us a bad name.
Common townies in shellsuits, with too much gold jewellery, bad perms in scrunchies, babies at age 14 (you know the type, particularly if you've ever been on a 192 bus in Manchester).
People who talk in the cinema/theatre - risking having a Coke 'accidentally' spilled on them..
Girlies who insist on shrieking hysterically in supposed joy when they meet up with friends, when in fact they only saw each other yesterday & aren't that close anyway, but think its draws attention to how popular they are. It doesn't. It draws attention to how sad & insecure they are.
People who barely know me (except maybe through someone else) but who still hug & kiss me like a long-lost sibling when we meet. I'm not buying it (see above)
People who smoke while walking in front of me on the street - bleurgh!
Anyone who wears sportswear as 'normal' clothing (particularly footie shirts)
People who witter incessantly at you about nothing of any consequence when you're obviously trying to read/work/watch TV
People who mix up the words 'borrow' & 'lend', 'accept' & 'except' etc. (Thick people basically. And Jade from Big Brother who is a prime example of a thick person.)
Any of the dysfunctional inarticulate oiks who display their social incompetencies on shows like Trisha.
