Another old favourite for the new generation of POErs!

What annoys you?

Mine are

My nasty neighbours of course! Unhelpful people on help desks! People don't clean up after their dogs and leave dog mess on the pavements and in fields where inevitably my children step in it! People who vandalise my fence - I have made such good friends now with the council fence cleaning man!

Postmen/women potentially going on strike when they appear to have a decent standard of living in a climate where we are all struggling! I guess it goes for other trades also...

Any group of workers holding the country to ransom is not the answer!

Alledgedly the postmen are not striking for money Ron but due to the the fact that they have new machines in to do the sorting (which they agreed to), meaning the postman has to spend more time acualy delivering letters at a walking pace of four and half miles per hour.

Blantant rudeness.

When people won't hold a door...especially if I have my little one with me and it nearly hits her!! (has happened more than once!)

Or when people won't smile back at you!

Being interrupted! Especially if they just go ahead and change the subject!!

Men who spit!!!!

Reality TV shows.

Most celebrities!

Holding a door for someone else who can't be bothered to say thank you or even acknowledge my existence.

People who are too lazy or inconsiderate to use their turn indicators when driving.  I'm not psychic, you know!

People who allow their children to run wild in restaurants while they ignore them and carry on with their own meals/conversations.

Certain television channels that run promos for upcoming shows spattered across the bottom of the screen while I'm trying to watch something else.

I am psychic, so I would go to say, people that are saying sweet things and hate you under their breathe in reality, they would rather not be bothered, and by the same token, people that take forever to say something, as I ususally catch on fast to what they are going to say to begin with often, if I interprut someone the number one reason most likely why I did...to me they seem "stuck" in wordage.  I do have an few people in my life that I can say in conversation, just an few words, and they catch on...so I know there are others out there like me these days.

People that make decisions in behalf of themselves, leaving all those whom they touch kind of hanging on for dear life in survival. We tend to reap what we sow in life.

People that tell me what I'm going to think...and force themselves on me. I've had an lifetime of telling others what will happen and they scoff at me, to later find out I was correct. One of my near death expereinces I was given some insight about this aspect with other people, and it was to help them to guide themselves into making the correct decisions themselves...for then their actions are always "freewill" choices. That is ultimately what our creator wants to see ...what kind of people we really are down deep inside us. It is from that our soul lessons are given in what we need to perfect.

Bad drivers, overuse of " you know,um,uh...etc", people who talk to hear themselves and tune out everyone else in a conversation, actions that are wrong, but somehow have become "cool", ads for ED on the television, and droopy pants.

That is a sampling Laughing
