Re: Things that make you say Grrrrrrrrrrrr
How about this one.
I was on school ground, walking past a car park to pick up my daughter. At the pedestrian crossing, a 4WD went straight past me without stopping. Then immediately, not-a-car-length behind the the 4WD, a little Mazda did exactly the same. I was shocked but managed to note down the licence plate of the Mazda.
After getting my daughter, I located the Mazda and the driver. I told her she didnt' stop for me, to which she replied, sternly, "I didn't see you."
Me: "But I was at the crossing."
Her: "Like I said, I didn't see you."
Me: "Did you not look?"
Her: "Let me tell you again, I didn't see you. I was already driving under 10km/h."
Me: "So you didn't look to see if anyone was at the crossing?"
Her: "I didn't see you."
Me: "If you hit a child, I didn't see you would not have been enough."
At the point, tired of my nagging, she turned to her friend to talk instead, oblivious to how serious the situation was.
If you don't look, how can you see?????????????
That made me Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr x 1000. Next time I will have an umbrella with me at the crossing to bang on the bonnet of any car that doesn't stop!

Re: Things that make you say Grrrrrrrrrrrr
I really REALLY hate it when the OH leaves the toilet seat up 
I tend to show my disgust by flipping it back down again by touching only the lid...no matter what time...day or night 
...I'm hoping one day he'll get the message 
...but I think that could be another thread entirely

Re: Things that make you say Grrrrrrrrrrrr
My OH and DD always laugh loudly in the next room but stop as soon as I come in.
Static- I am always getting zapped.
Cyclists who hide behind a car that is turning off by the junction you are trying to pull out of, and so when you start to pull out and see them you are forced to slam on the brakes, or pull out if you don't see them and get verbal abuse as they get close to your bumper.
People who park so you can't get back into your car, and /or who have put a ding into your door when you return.
Dog owners who let their hound crap in your garden.
Dog owners who leave their animal tied up outside all day so it barks from 6:30 am to 8pm.

Re: Things that make you say Grrrrrrrrrrrr
Random ambling U-turns, stopping and thinking about something, congregating in a door frame, pushing prams all over the place (no please, I insist, would you kindly use your precious little "bub" as a battering ram for my ****ing legs), people who walk side by side on narrow paths taking up the whole thing and dont move out of the way for people walking towards them.
Also ACA and TT, and their 5 repeated "its a rort!!" stories make me angry. It makes me more angry that millions of people apparently subscribe to this idiotic bullshit. They are always fairly high up in the TV ratings.
Also brain-dead reality show guff like X Factor, Idol, Bachelor(ette), farmer wants a shag, master chef, renovate, the renovators, renovation man, renovate this, renovate that, strictly come dancing, so you think you can dance... etc
nanny state mentalities also get me going, wherever in the world they occur

Re: Things that make you say Grrrrrrrrrrrr
massively agree with that. a lack of spatial awareness. really gives me the shits. Especially so when people are walking.
