in my research I have concluded that this is completely connected to people being stupid and not paying attention to the world around them.
Similar things include: people driving badly, women with pushchairs/trolleys barging past you while shopping.
Occasionally I decide not to get out of the way when walking down the street and see how many people bump into me. It's usually lots. I'm bigger than most people, so they usually end up on the floor.
( , Thu 10 Sep 2009, 13:20, Reply)

and I would say that at least 19 times out of 20, the people I've barged into apologise. That just makes them even more fucking stupid.
NOTE: If they apologise sarcastically, I always make a point of saying sweetly, 'That's OK, don't worry,' because that makes them even angrier. This applies to all sarcastic apologies.

this is a seriously pedantic point and shouldn't get anyone that worked up, it's not actually that commonly known the momentarily means "for a moment" as I didn't know that myself and I've got a degree (or two) and everything.

My pedantic peeve is people abusing the word disinterested. Disinterested means impartial, uninterested is the word you were probably looking for.

Apparently it's standard American usage. When you're on final approach into a US airport, the script from the cabin crew goes something like, "Ladies and gentlemen, we will be landing momentarily. Please return to your seats, with your seat belts fastened, your seat backs in the upright position and your tray tables stowed away."
Landing momentarily? I'd prefer to be on the ground a bit longer, thank you.

I mostly get angry at myself, I've got a 'system' when it comes to shopping in supermarkets, it never works but I have to use it. On average, I spend about an hour in my local ASDA, trying to work out what to have for dinner.
In general, I end up with 3 baskets (changing my mind each time) and walk out with just a DVD.
( , Thu 10 Sep 2009, 13:41, Reply)

Let's say I fancy, ermm, nachos (when I walk out).
- Gwakamoli
- Salsa
- Emintile Cheese
- Blue Cheese
- Nachos
... blue cheese gets wasted as I don't use much, so I need bread for sandwiches.
... now I need some sort of deli-meat for the sandwich, and I've run out of mayo.
... Oooo, oven chips and condiments.
... damn, can't have the nachos now *puts them back*
... Don't need the cheese, dips or nachos now.
... Can't make sandwiches without the cheese, so the bread goes back.
... OH LOOK, SPECIAL OFFER DVDS, IF I WATCH IT JUST ONCE IT PAYS FOR ITSELF.
... Oh man, do you know what would go really good with a DVD? NACHOS !

people who have no concept of basic table manners piss me off. In fact, what annoys me more is people who can't be bothered to instill in their offspring basic manners, and then view people who do things like, use a knife and fork corectly, chew with their mouths closed and eat at a table as somehow "posh" or "La de Da" like it's something to be looked down upon.
( , Thu 10 Sep 2009, 13:29, Reply)

what's almost worse is that my brother and dad have the same table manners as I, and yet somehow, when they eat they make the most fucking nauseating noise. It's absolutely vile. Not down to eating with the mouth open or anything. I just think they are defective
( , Thu 10 Sep 2009, 13:32, Reply)

the only reason you can possibly have for eating with your mouth open is the lack of a nose. Since everybody has a nose - THERE IS NO FUCKING REASON AT ALL TO EAT WITH YOUR GOB WIDER THAN A WHORE'S FUCKING LEGS!!!

If they're too young to know any better, fair enough. But once they're old enough to converse there are no excuses.

I very nearly got my head kicked in because of someone leaving their trolley leaning up against my brand new car a few years ago. I marched across the car park and flung the trolley back at them shouting all manner of hate-fulled madness, then I noticed her husband, he looked rather rough, then I looked at the woman, she looked rather rough as did their car, so I ran just in case they killed me or drove into me! :(

the other week i rolled into a parent and child space, my daughter was somewhat obscured in the back seat and was not visible from outside the car. i glance over to see some fat old cunt muttering to the car park attendant and pointing in my direction. the equally rotund attendant then made towards me, obviously ready to pile on the smug about not using those spaces.
I unfolded myself from the car and opened the back door for my daughter, the sight of her sent the scrote scurrying back to his wanking hole beside the fat old snitch bitch. I marched over to them and asked them 'if there was a problem' to which they muttered and pretended i wasn't there.
Just as well, as i was ready for a full scale bickerfest. But settled for an all day breakfast in the cafe instead.

got tutted by a lady, I asked if she had a problem and she said 'well you're clearly not supposed to park here, you don't have a child with you' to which I replied 'How dare you, I'm pregnant' and then ran away. Mwahahaha, yes I am childish.

queue jumping shitflickers in pubs. they know FINE WELL you were there before them, and when the under pressure bar-keep mistakely goes to serve them first, they whip into action and order up. cheeky CUNTS
but not yesterday, oh no.....i cut this stupid bitch off in mid sentence as she attempted to place an order for a fucking gristle burger or whatever the fuck she was desperate to shove down her piehole. I stepped in and reminded them all that i was there first, as nicely as was possible under the circumstances.
i was waiting on some back chat so i could have launched into a barely civilised tirade against her inability to queue fairly. Fortunately for her she sensed my murderous rage and didn't breathe till i was gone.
