Really bugs me that - along with parents who repeatedly take their pets into the school grounds to wait for their children, despite constantly being told not to.

Oh, and dog owners who allow the dog to bark (without a breath) and don't tell them to shut tf up!

Old people who drive at 10 miles an hour and do not move, or indicate, or stop for red lights. Potential murderers if you ask me.


Beggars. When in power I fully intend to make the practice illegal, with the only punishment being death. In the interim, a swift punch to the temple will have to suffice.


People that can't take a beating.

I know - but they're pretty good at noticing poo and not touching it. He tends to do it more down the back in the brush. There's also wombat poo - all sorts of poo - bits of the block are a bush block and your guess as to what animals visit during the night are as good as mine. I'd be there all day if I had to search for every bit.

Well! I see dogs still seem to be out in front, although MIL's seem to be coming up strong on the inside... I'd like to add:

- People who choose the most expensive things on the menu and then are always the first to say "oh lets just split the bill equally, what does it matter"

- People who stick their finger in their ear (or even worse car keys) and then vigorously poke at their inner ear in public

People that can't take a beating.
Now I have been pondering on my list and thought I would add to it.

1. People that let their dogs off the lead, clearly knowing that they are not good with other dogs. Mutt charges up to other mutts and savages lesser mutts and then yells 'Oh my dog doesnt like other dogs'. Leash your nasty bastard dog, if it isnt good with other dogs/kids/people, put the git on a lead - if you dont then please do not be surprised if your nasty mutt gets kicked for savaging kids/dogs/adults.

2. People that tailgate on the roads - you impatient tossers, do you really think I am going to go any faster because you are driving up my arse? No, I am not - thicko.

3. People that don't flush the toilet and leave nasty big fat turds at the bottom and try and disguise it with toilet roll. There is a girl that does her '3 oclock poo' every day and leaves her present for the next person. Stop it, eat earlier, hold it in, pour acid over it but do not and I repeat do not leave it for the poor sod that goes in after you. See a doctor - the size of your produce means you have the bowel size of an elephant.

Oh God, please let me have another couple:

4. Babies with no hair wearing bows - with no hair for them to look pretty in.

5. Babies dressed up as bears/rabbits - wearing furry suits. Buy a bear/rabbit, it might be easier than dressing your child up as one.

6. Women with large breasts that dont wear bras and their breasts resemble cows udders. Please, when your titties are covered in freckles and look like cow hide, that is bad enough but to not wear a bra and to wear a low vest with it - nasty.

7. Sales people - No I do not want extra fast broadband - Westnet, your broadband is nothing special so why would I want to commit to another 2 years of your crappy internet that goes down all the time? Please do not call me when I am drinking my wine, you are disturbing me.

8. The Wiggles/wriggles whatever you call them - you are horrible in your mutli coloured outfit with your disturbing little faces and the way you all shake your hips and dance is so disturbing that I think you should be banned from all small children.

9. People that never bothered with you in the UK suddenly are your best mate and want to stay with you because 'it will be fab to catch up' - no it won't, you annoyed me in the UK do you really think that I will like you any better now I am in Australia? Find a bloody guest house and pay for your own holiday you tight fisted git.

10. Friends - god I hate that program, everyone laughs when Rachel/Chandler walk into the room and I don't know why. What is it about this show????????

11. Curry - I hate the smell of curry, we have a group of women at work who all but have their own 'curry club' and they discuss at length at lunchtime graphic details of the days curry. It smells, I hate it - the kitchen is poisoned and curry to me is on a par with celery and should be illegal.

12. People that are cruel to animals - if you don't like animals then fine but you don't have to hurt them.


That is it for now, unless AL can find any more I can relate to.

Over to you AL

My daughter looks cute in a 'rabbity' one she has - before bedtime as she wears it to bed...and we use it if she has got ready for bed in a friend's house and will go back in a coldish car

"Vegetarians" (well not so much them personally) I don't care if they want to eat meat or not but leave me to eat and STOP TRYING OT CONVERT ME. Why do pruducts have to say 'suitable for vegtarians, vegan, aliens martians etc. work it out yourself!!!! (could be the companies think vegetarian's have no brains?), Why doesn't meat products say 'suiable for meat eaters'? and why is there no 'meat eating' society?

Cyclists that don't obey the road rules. I was walking across the road with the green man and a cyclists nearly knocked me over

Both men and woman who sleep around and then moan 'I am pregnant and he doesn't want to know' 'I slept with her and she wants commitment' or they get a STI/STD and the whinge about it, and contraception is never 100% accurate so if you don't want to get a disease/pregnant here's a thought DON'T SLEEP AROUND..........and why should the tax payer have to fork out for sex clinics etc. I am sick of all the single parents (alright usually woman) whinging about there 3 kids by 3 different fathers and how hard done by they are but men sleep around too who get woman preganant then don't see the kids till they want to and then whinge about the woman not seeint them etc

ok moan over

And dog owners who think it's all very jolly when their dog comes over and trashes your picnic.

2. Being ignored by waiters whilst those around me are being served
3. People on public transport stinking of garlic

Over to you guys!
1. People who can't chew gum with their mouths shut. What a disgusting noise.
2. Loud music in unit blocks.
3. Rude people who can't say thank you.
