Sue, I am afraid I could not have kept quiet on that one. I would have asked her politely to switch it off whilst we were dining and if she hadn't, I would have waited for her to put it down when she ate. moved round quietly and detained it until the meal was over. That is just bad manners of the highest degree, if she can shame nephew like that - then he be better getting rid!!

Also parents who let their little dears rummage through and fetch the cutlery in cafes.....do we all want the bugs they pass around at school....no.

People who drive up the ramp in multistorey carparks and stop dead at the top while they take ages deciding where to go leaving you stopped on the ramp behind them.

The family took my mother out for a birthday dinner the other night and my nephew's girlfriend spent most of the evening on FaceBook using her mobile phone. She didn't look at anyone when she spoke. Even my nephew was annoyed with her.

People who carry their tiny babies around busy shopping centres - one bump and you could lose grip on the little one and they would fall onto a hard surface.

Older people who gripe about everything young people do -there are some really good young people out there. I think we have short memories - we 'baby-boomers' drove our parents crazy.

Insincerity, rudeness, dishonesty, laziness etc. etc. etc. lol

"Hello Joe. How are you?"

Cyclists who undertake me on the left - while I'm cycling too.

Sheila WW, I stand still and make them walk round me too. I walk with two sticks and no way am I going in the gutter. I will stand to one side for a pram or pushchair as long as they are not pushing it and phoning at the same time.
People who use their mobile to phone home and find out whether they need something that should be on the cupboard shelves. Dont they check before they go out?

Spitting,has to be one of my biggest hates.It's disgusting.
Men who hold one nostril and blow sn** down the other in the street .
Rudeness(there is no need)
Littering.
People letting dogs foul and then just leave it.I always carry poo bags and have been known to offer one or two
Horse riders on the pavement and then the horse poops right in the middle.
I don't carry poo bags big enough to give them though lol.I know I can put it on my roses but have my own compost.

I'm sure I have more ,but that'll do for now.I don't want to be thought of as a grumpy old woman !!!! 'cos I'm not.Honestly I'm not lol

Bus companies that don't clean their windows for a week. Just travelled back from Cheltenham and the windows downstairs were so dirty you actually could not see through them.

People for whom the fact they have just sat on the bus is the signal for them to make a long boring, loud phone call relating all their boring Minutiae of the past week. And this is usually women in their 50s/60s and sometimes older.

Women who take their toddlers for a coffee then ignore them for a half hour while they text or phone their friends so the child is bored and fidgety. And this is usually young women.


edit: Just corrected my non deliberate spelling mistake!!! Thanks BC!!!

People that stand in the middle of the pavement having a conversation and expect everybody to walk round them and they always seem to do it on the narrowest part of the pavement.

People that swear when they can see a child near them
