    Things that piss the hell out of you in everyday life
    Inspired by two things that happened to me in the last five minutes or so.

    - When a transparent pen that clearly has ink in it won't work.

    - When trying to open up the internet takes an infuriatingly long time and you eventually end up with about six tabs and you sitting there furiously tapping Cntrl Alt Delete.

    Or do I just have a short fuse?

    people

    and people that go on about things that i don't give a **** about and putting me into a awkward 5 minutes trying to look interested.

    When you take your earphones out and realize one of them doesn't work so you have to sit on a bus for an hour with no music...

    people that laugh really loud just to let everyone within a mile that there laughing.

    While your working your ass off and someone who is doing the same job as you decides to sit down and piss around on there phone.

    A-levels.
    But that won't be everyday for too much longer.

    Other than that, slow walkers. I swear we need duel-lane footpaths, one side for people who walk fast and one side for people who walk slow.

    People who try to get on the bus without paying/having the right bus pass, then decide to argue with the driver about it for half hour so the bus doesn't go anywhere for ages (this has happened on two buses I was travelling on this week...grrrr)

    People that insist on trying to force their opinion down your throat, yet refuse to listen to your own views.

    The amount of cars on the road, bad drivers, those glasses with no lenses in that "hipsters" wear, and bad grammar to name a few.

    People standing in the middle of the corridor speaking when people are trying to enter and leave.

    People coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths, especially when they're near me.

    When I'm walking with someone, they encounter another one of their friends and end up speaking to them for ages whilst I'm standing around trying to look occupied with something else.

    People stepping on my trainers and making them dirty.

    People abruptly stopping in the middle of the street when I'm right behind them.

    Oh, how could I forget... people telling me to 'cheer up' and all of its variants. :upyours:

    What about when you've got people walking in the opposite direction? This could get chaotic

    Oh, and you have the best username/picture combination I've seen on here :rolleyes:
