Things that make me go argggggggghhhhhhhh

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where do you keep yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2 People who are willing to get off their backside to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually!

3 When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Too bloody right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4 When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? They need help

5 When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Muppet, I paid £6 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.

6 People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did you mate ?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, so it couldn't be new.

8 When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus been yet?". If the bus had been would I be standing here stupid ?

10 When you are already waiting for a lift or at a pedestrian crossing and someone comes up and presses the button. Oh so thats what you have to do, I would never have thought of that!!

11 When I walk into the Doctors consulting room and he says " Hello Steve how are you?" !!!!! DOH if I was ok I wouldn't be here.

can you think of any more??

OOOh this feels like a bit of a meme so I tag Cheryl, Jo, Redmum, Doris
