I cant be arsed to make my own list so thought I'd comment on some of Rusty's GIANT list of pissed off I'll add... - Midwives making me feel crap in my own house as they dont bother to learn my name or even say 'bye' after a visit (just a glance and a nod) like I dont even exisit. Who am I? Oh yeah, I'm just the dad, the male, the sperm donor.
- 12 year olds and/or Americans shouting, screaming, crying, moaning on COD:MW. Even if the point is valid (which it normally isnt) the sound of the voice grates me to the point I want to be deaf. And dead.
- Fanboys. All fanboys who seem to think an alleigance to a consumer product is somehow beneficial to their lives to the point they will shout at other people for owning something different. Especially Sony fanboys.
- People who park in disabled and parent spots who shouldnt (especially if you drive a BMW and think you have the god given right). The supermarket put the spaces there for a reason i.e. for disabled people and parents who may need more space to get a wheelchair/kid seat out of a car or for the safety/conveinience of the individual(s). C**t.
So I've covered being a b***h, being 12 or American, being a fanboy and being a c**t. They're traits I could do without in my life  Thats it for now. I should be doing some work.

I may be wrong but I thought that was only present in the diet version of Coke?[/quote] I don't think you are wrong and I was about to make the same point. The Real Thing™ may have tons of sugar in it, but it's an unabridged and genuine drink and the "ahhhh" response is more appropriate from a proper bottle of Coca-Cola, but you're right - sometimes a can is just that good. As for the toilet seat, whilst I may agree with the logic of the seat up approach (and I really do), seat AND lid down has to be the way forward if you ever want to spend any time in the company of women.

http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.aspAspartame, nothing like as bad as you might think Bratty.

I hate that almost as much as people refering to the lanes as anything other than 1, 2, 3 etc. Also with the reference to parent and child parking spaces, well I think they are fair game. I respect the disabled ones, although I do think there are too many.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

They're really not though. In fact there's notices put up quite clearly stating that they're not. But regardless of the supermarket's own rules its f*****g ignorant and until you've tried to haul a car seat out of a 'standard' space whilst taking care not to touch the car next to yours (cos I'm nice like that) you wont understand. And before someone says 'its your choice to have kids' thats not the point either. The spaces are put there for a reason.

I think the factor that annoys me is that most of the time the parent ones are closer to the doors than the disabled ones, which does seem to be a screwed priority. Once a kid is in a pushchair it's not such an issue.

FALSE. At both my nearest Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco's and Morrisons the child spots are further away from the doors than the disabled ones (and rightly so). In the case of Sainsbury's you can actually be much closer to the doors if you park in one of the standard spots than some of the kid spots. The benefit for me is not to try to be close to the doors but the extra width afforded to get the baby in and out. This, for example, is Sainsbury's:

Well that's good to hear if it is the norm elsewhere. I was speaking on the basis of my local Tesco where the parent ones are right next to the building whereas the diabled ones are in a row further away.

If the parent spaces were furthest away from the store than any other space then they wouldn't be abused as much. And how many parents would then park in normal spaces for the convenience of being closer to the store?
So if you want space to open car doors fully go to the far end of the car park.

After reading this thread again, I feel my response should be: I dislike everything that anyone might do, think or say if I wouldn't do, think or say it. I (and only I) am right, my head is my world, I am King of it. The rest of you commoners can b*gger right off!
