GP appointment system doesn't work
Do many languish at home in need of the help which is now so difficult to find? More importantly does anyone really care? Perhaps we could be forgiven for thinking that medication was fast becoming a rich man's privilege.

The lack of mobility in young people
I do not understand why so many young people seem to have lost the use of their legs? Each school day means that these children who cannot use their legs are blocking up the roads for those of us who need to use them.

Body odour and bad breath
My gripe is people who share their unpleasant bodily odours and exhalations with those of us who don't wish to participate. I mean of course people who don't take the trouble to wash themselves or their clothes.

Overseas dental care scam
Be very careful if you are considering having dental work carried out overseas, particlularly if the destination is Thailand and you happen to live in Australia! I have lost money in this way and am still waiting on some form of settlement.

Schools too soft on disruptive pupils
I have had to quit my job at school as a secondary languages teacher because I can no longer stand the disgusting behaviour of many of the pupils. In the past couple of years I have been increasingly verbally abused and insulted.

My nostrils raped by noxious chemicals
People are obsessed with chemical products and seem completely oblivious to the fact that they are toxic. They enjoy breathing these noxious substances in and spraying them all over themselves.

NHS doctors moaning about pay
My gripe is with doctors in the NHS who are constantly complaining that they are not being paid enough. Why don’t we stop giving the Doctors money every time they moan and give it the people in the rehabilitation sector instead?

Children with dyslexia undiagnosed
In my opinion schools are not doing enough to identify children with Dyslexia! It took me a long time to get my parents to notice, and was even harder to get my school and college to notice too.

I am deaf you know, not stupid!
I have just started a course as a mature student. To assist me I have a note taker and communication support worker, so people will often see them with me in class and are put off, almost afraid of approaching me.

School subject choices poor
I've just been through helping my daughter choose her options at school and was shocked at the poor subject choices available. We had to choose one subject from three groups, but getting the right combination was impossible.

Teachers who torment children
From the age of six I have experienced first hand just how horrible and mean some teachers can be. I have been tormented and even bullied by them. You may think that things like this don't go on nowadays, but how sure are you?

Welsh language policy
Not only should the compulsory Welsh language lessons in schools be scrapped, but Welsh language road signs should also be abolished because they lead to confusion for drivers.

Fitness First cancellation policy
I joined Fitness First and was told that my membership would be for a minimum of 3 months. At the time I was advised that to cancel, I had to give at least one month's notice.

Smokers have rights too
I'm fed up with the way smokers are now seen as second class citizens. As you may know, smoking in Scotland has now been banned and we have all been pushed outside into the cold.

Dyslexia in a topsy turvy world
People with Dyslexia don’t live in the topsy turvy world; it’s just the rest of us who do! In fact, Dyslexics are highly intelligent people who are simply unable to express their intelligence in the written form.

Fed up with fake people
I am sick and tired of fake people, especially fake hair extensions, fake nails and women who think they need this rubbish to fit into what they think that men find attractive in a woman.

Media censorship on the Daily Mail
I'm getting a little fed up with censorship on the Daily Mail website. As an x-ray student I thought I'd reply and put the message straight on a forum about lung cancer diagnosis. Did my comment get published? No!

The NHS is not perfect
We all know the NHS isn’t perfect, but these days what is? I'm sick of people who don't actually work in the NHS trying to tell us what we should be doing or how we should be doing it.

Health and safety in education
As a direct result of stupid health and safety policies enforced by schools, a lot of kids are missing out on some valuable educational experiences. Is it me or, or have things just gone barmy?

Pushy parents at the school gate
Pushy parents that brag about their kids at the school gate; you know the type – every time you arrive at school to collect your little angel they’re there, itching to compare SATS scores, swimming certificates, spelling ability etc.

America should ban smoking too
Some countries have banned smoking in public places, but America has yet to follow suit. Smoking is an extremely unhealthy habit. Burning just one cigarette releases over 4,000 chemicals into the air.

School teachers that can't spell
My daughter has returned from school this week with some new spellings to learn, but how are kids supposed to learn spelling and grammar when their books are wrong and even the teachers haven't noticed?

NIMBY's who oppose mobile phone masts
Why is the world full of these NIMBY's who oppose the building of mobile phone masts, yet they are quite happy to carry around and use a mobile phone themselves? These people are just a load of hypocrites.

RE in British schools
My young children attend a local primary school where religious education consists of the teaching of god and creation. I think they’re too young and disagree with showing only one side of the argument.

Smokers are inconsiderate
I really do think that smokers have got to be the most filthy, inconsiderate and rudest bunch of people around. I think there should be fines put in place for smokers who smoke in non smoking areas.

Getting a doctors appointment
When something is wrong I quite literally need to be nagged into going to see a doctor. I've discovered however that it is very difficult to get an appointment that day unless you declare an emergency!

Women trying to lose weight
Why do people, particularly women get so obsessive about dieting and want to lose weight all the time? They’re always at it, counting the calories and starting a new diet when the old one doesn’t work.

Pharmacy counter staff useless
I’ve just come back from the local pharmacy and I’m a little less than impressed with the service in there. I’m sure it’s not the same everywhere, but I always seem to pick the worst ones.

People who rarely shower or bathe
Most homes have hot and cold running water so there is no excuse for coming into work smelling of body odour (B.O.). There is nothing worse than sitting at a desk opposite the office smelly.

Public toilets that aren't clean
Dirty filthy stinking public toilets. There's nothing worse than going to a public lav and finding it all covered in urine or excrement. Why can't people treat the public loo like their own and leave it clean?
