21 Grumps and this B***ch ain't One

I have been reading a lot of other blogs today. Monday appears to be the day to get things off your chest and have a bit of a rant. So, I have decided, purely for cathartic purposes to make a list of all the things that REALLY annoy me.

This is what I look like when thinking about all of the below

1. People not using their indicators
2. People sitting in the middle lane of the motorway (I do quite a bit of driving)
3. A lack of consideration for others
4. Litterbugs
5. Mummy's who use pushchairs as a weapon - I have a pushchair and I am not afraid to use it - UGH..It gives the rest of us considerate Mummy's a bad name.
6. Women who pretend they are completely incapable of anything practical when there is a man around. 
7. Women whose personality changes in the presence of men - what is that all about??
8. Women who use there children as an excuse. (I think there is a whole blog in this one so I am going to leave that one there)
9. Celebrity magazines
10. All red top so called newspapers, I've looked but I am buggered if I can find any news in them.
11. People who judge you based on how you look, your gender, your colour etc...
12. The BNP - wrong wrong and yet again wrong
13. People who can't express joy - for example, after watching a film 'well it could have been better if...'
14. People who are only interested in material things..better than the Jones. I don't give a flying F**k about the Jones.
15. People who can't be bothered to recycle ...I mean come on, it's not even difficult any more. (Back to the lack of consideration thing)
16. The annoying message that comes up every time I log on because I changed a programme and didn't delete a bit of it and now because the programme isn't there I can't delete it and it won't let me download the programme because it thinks that it is still there because of this bit..AND I WON'T rebuild my computer again...AAAAAAH
17. Office politics
18. My lack of will power when it comes to food. I think I used all my will power up when I gave up fags
19. My mobile phone which, to be frank, has been shit since the day I got it... But Orange won't replace it..and I am too knackered to argue.
20. The IT at work...I could spend days ranting about that!
21. Wasps - they serve no purpose except to annoy and hurt us. And because of Karma I can't kill them - Damn it. 

Gosh I feel better. Another 21 next Monday I think. You should try it...

4. My first car was an maroon Allegro with a sun roof.
5. Sorry to the garage attendent at Monkmoor in Shrewsbury  from about 1996 -1999, I realise that my visits may have appeared strange and happened at odd times in the night and I may not have been completely sober, but some times you just need a fag.
6. I secretly loved the attention I got for some of the outfits I wore clubbing.
7. I hate that aging bothers me so much.
8. The one time I scived off school I got glandular fever and didn't go back for 6 months.
