What do I hate? That feeling when you can't get comfortable, your face and neck hurts, you feel like somethings not quite right, you don't seem to be doing things in the right way. Grrrrr...
And to add to the crappy feeling, you have the people having a go at you for not being yourself and being in a mood. If I want to be in a mood, then I flaming well will be! And then there are the people who shout at you for being in a mood and make you feel like something's wrong. WHY?
If I'm already in a mood, then why add to my pain and make me feel worse? Am I supposed to change my mood into a better one just to make you happy? Shall I also grate some cheese for you and sweep up after you? Shall I flush the ruddy toilet for you?
Going back to that annoying feeling, it's also made worse when you have something on your wrist, made of fabric that's wet. DISGUSTING. Why won't it dry?
Another thing that really gets on my goat is when people tell me to cheer and say it might never happen. Exactly what might never happen? People have all sorts of reasons for the various expressions on their face, there's no need to question it when a negative comment. Actually 9 times out of 10 I'm actually fine, it's just when I don't have an expression on my face I don't look very happy. Well I can't help that! I just wish people would just mind their own business when they don't know what's going on in my life. Maybe one day I'll just pour my heart out and tell them all the things I'm unhappy about in my life - that'll teach them for asking!
These are just a few things that are annoying me at the moment. Feel free to comment and add more to the list if you want to.

I am trying to find somewhere to post a gripe and have decided to do it here.
I have been a volunteer for the charity AbilityNet which helps disabled and elderly people make more use of computer technology and have helped many with a lot of appreciation – all except for one client who is a bit mentally disturbed and someone who is a liar and neighbour from hell.
After several visits, I did not want to bother with this nutcase of a client and decided I had better report her, but Deborah Knott from head office in Warwick contacted the client and got told a load of bull. After this, Deborah Knott contacted me and told me I have been struck off as a volunteer for inappropriate treatment of a client and not treating the client with respect.
Deborah Knott listened to the client but drew a conclusion without listening to my side or letting me defend these false accusations, so got sucked in by all these lies and treated me as guilty. A typical power-yielding manager type of individual who factuates her beliefs, disregards the facts and forces her beliefs on others. At least I could see through the lies of this client, even if it was beyond the perception of Deborah Knott.
Deborah Knott claimed I had been harassing the client and been aggressive towards her – which was all lies as I had never been aggressive or had harassed the client. The client was harassing me to help her with disputes she was in with neighbours and businesses, and wanted me to be a litigating friend in court.
Everything this client told me sounded like a load of lies as it was filled with contradictions, and I made it firm that I did not want anything to do with it and was not going to help her with her computer problems again since every time she wanted some help with her computer she wanted me to help her with her disputes.
This client was desperate for my support and begged me to stay, but I made it clear I was not going to help her anymore and so she played up and started looking for excuses to throw false accusations at me – like she does with the neighbours. Because I did not do what she wanted and stuck by the truth which I used at her several times, she accused me of harassment and being aggressive – simply because she did not get her own way and did not like the truth. This is similar to all the lies she told me in trying to make me become a litigating friend in court for her. If someone does not do what she wants, she will see them in the wrong and then look for excuses which are untrue.
She is going to end up inside soon if she continues trying to control her neighbours and being a neighbour from hell.
I have written to all the trustees and senior management at AbilityNet in Warwick about this, but have not yet received an acknowledgement or apology for the way I was treated by Deborah Knott. I hope that AbilityNet shows some respect for me and reinstate me after apologising. If not it will show those in head office have more respect for those with perverted minds than those of us who are decent and go out of our way to help the less fortunate. But then since like supports like, what will it say about them? They claim to respect their clients but what about protecting their volunteers from wrongful accusations by perverted clients?

Men should look at this. If you think it's funny or somehow complimentary to catcall women in the street, think again

Things that annoy me:
- The appalling quality of many movies these days. Apparently they are now aimed at teenagers, as if no one else wants to go to the cinema or rent a dvd.
I love a good movie, especially Sci Fi or something with a bit of action in it. I know women are supposed to like girly rom coms but most of them are dire and tedious. Old romantic movies like Casablanca are a different thing.
- The growing custom of playing songs, music videos, home "movies", sport or other TV programmes out loud in public on smartphones or tablets.
Please use headphones.
- The habit of saying "sorry" before you do something rude. The number of women who force pushchairs through crowded places, not caring if they hit and bruise people on the way, because , after all, they did say "sorry!" first. Grrr.

That maddening Samsung whistle ring tone is surely deserving of a place on this gripe.

I have a naturally gloomy expression, so I get this sort of comment now & then, usually from men, but then they would say that, as they never seem to worry about anything apart from who will win the world cup, & the size of their bits. I saw an advert for a t-shirt with a grumpy face on it with the slogan "don`t tell me what kind of day to have!, perhaps I should buy one!

The things I find most annoying?
People who chew gum or food with their mouths open...eww
People (mostly men) who spit in the street
Parents who allow their toddlers to run around screeching and screaming and having tantrums in the shops and streets.
Folks who whine about being fat when they load their supermarket trolley with what they think feeds their family for one day but could feed a starving family in Africa for six months.
The person (for lady she certainly was not) who pushed in front of a supermarket queue saying she was disabled....her manners certainly were!
People who park in disabled spaces in a car park without a valid badge.
Anyone who hurts or is cruel to a child or animal, there is no excuse.....I could go on, but I won't!

Things that I find annoying
1. That other governments, France for example, cap domestic fuel rises to protect its citizens from outrageous price rises but ours finds it impossible to do so.
2. Piped music in every damn place that you go, even hospitals.
3. Pavement cyclists.
4. That courtesy is now seen as a sign of weakness by many.
5. Insomnia

When you hand over a £20 note to pay for goods in a shop and cashier looks like you just gave her a lump of poo, asks you have you got anything less.....if I did I'd use it know what I mean? Then they route through the till getting your change like you've really inconvenienced them. Hello? It's not my fault you don't keep enough change in the till. Why are shops scared of £20 notes? I love them lol!

Door to door charity workers are annoying. I'm all for charity but I will donate in my own time thankyou.
I was walking round Manchester city center once in a world of my own when someone who works for Shelter suddenly dives in front of me begging for a minute of my time. I politely asked if I could have some leaflets to read when I got home but she insisted I drop what I was doing and listen to her there and then. I slipped my hand in my pocket and because I have my own mobile phone and a works mobile phone I mannaged to speed dial my other mobile that was in my bag, (my phones simple to use I can use it blindfolded), My phone rang and I was saved by the bell!
I respect the job they do, it must be hard trying to get people like me to stop what I'm doing but really, If I want to sign up to a charity I will.....just in my own time.
12/10/10 dont bother me

"I will add a new one - people who think it is funny to copy your post and resend it to make you look stupid."
You manage that quite well without help, Jonesy.

Things that I find annoying: (Where to begin!)
Holding doors open for women who just sail through like the queen without saying thank you or even noticing me.
Pavement cyclists.
Buses so full of monster baby buggies that wheelchair users cannot get to the space that was designed for them.
All these trendy coffee places where idiots drinking their coffee full of milk and flavoured syrups with froth on top covered in sprinkly things hides the fact that they are serving really weak and nasty coffee.
