people.
people are my main pet peeve. why are people so. painfully. goddam. THICK?

my biggest hatred is people who stop in the street right in front of me. ooh, look, a shop window/puddle/bus/rutting pigeon. never seen one of those before. i'd better stop and blink at it like a muppet on a go-slow.

they are even worse in the supermarket. stupid women driving their husbands' 4x4s, spending money on their husbands' credit cards, parking their trolleys right in front of the goddam fridge/shelf i want to use, then umming and ahhing and ooohing for hours over which fat free, salt free, taste free yoghurt to choose for little brynn's lunch......... if you park your trolley over THERE, you won't block anyone else, will you? gah.

and don't get me started on tourists. i was in the harvey nicks champagne nail bar on fri (legitimate day off from my job which 99.9% of the women in there did not have!!) and you had to punch about 150,000 gawping tourists out of the way on the tube. yes, yes, it's harrods. yes, yes, it's a red postbox. now move it!

and breathe.....

Indeed.
And a busy street (Oxford / Regent) on a Saturday when there are multiple speeds being done by pedestrians.

Rachel - can you set up a law please where there's a need for the populace to walk at a minimum speed?
