Okay, so here's the second of my pet peeves.
Ignorance.

That's it, just ignorance. It can take many forms...

(All of these are descriptions of real experiences)

Sitting in the outside lane of the motorway while the inside 2 are empty, oblivious to the miles of angry drivers stuck behind you? Then you're ignorant.

Standing with your shopping trolley in the junction of 4 aisles at the supermarket, chatting to your mate (with her trolley) and blocking all 4 aisles? Then you're a fucking ignorant prick.

Jumping onto the bus/train/tube/whatever and blocking the door so that no-one can get off? Then you, my friend, are a cunt - and an ignorant one at that.

Sitting next to me on the train and sticking your arms and legs out so I have no room and you take up 3/4 of the seat? Well you too are an ignorant bastard, fuck you very much.

Having a drink with a meal, finishing your drink faster than your husband, then starting his because it's easier than going to get a refill, even though he's told you many times that it really annoys him? That's just fucking ignorant, I'm afraid.

I'm sure you get the idea by now.

I Think
You're confusing ignorance with stupidity.

Ignorance is forgiveable, stupidity isn't but should be....

In most cases, ignorance means that you just don't know the rules - nobody''s ever explained them to you.

Stupidity is where you know the rules and you either don't think they apply to you or you just forgot to apply them...

Heh, yes you're both right.
I meant "ignorant" as in "ignoring the effect your actions are having on others", which I guess is rudeness.
