    cyclist do pay the same road tax as you!!!! if i have to get off your road then get out of my bike lane.!!!!
    The problem is here, in outer London, a lot of the roads aren't wide enough for a bike and a car, as there aren't many bike lanes. Passing typically has to be done halfway into the oncoming lane. Also, unless cyclists drive a motorised vehicle as well, they don't pay road tax. The situation is probably a bit better state side.

    Drivers who don't indicate
    Pedestrians who don't look before crossing roads
    Parents who push buggies into the road before traffic has stopped
    Dog owners who don't pick up their animals' poo - I have three and manage to pick up every single scrap!
    Jason Bieber's hair and all the little wannabees who really need to get a short back and sides
    Badly applied and/or excessive fake tan
    False eyelashes worn during the day
    Loud conversations on public transport

    i like this thread! i'm feeling vent-y, so i'll give it try.

    (as a preface, i live in china, and a lot of my pet peeves are directly related)

    - spitting EVERYWHERE in public. i hate it. if you spit anywhere near me, i will throw stuff at you (so far, water bottles and wadded-up receipts).
    - give a pedestrian the right of way, for the love of god! i'll be tromping across the street in the middle of a crowd of incredibly frail old women and the taxis still want to play 10-pin-human-bowling.
    - holding your baby in the front seat of your car turns him/her into a 10lb projectile if you get into an accident.
    - don't talk about me when i am standing right beside you. my mandarin chinese is as good as yours or better, and i'm not afraid to tell you off.
    - hooker heels everywhere. girl, you are grocery shopping! at least wear something comfy.
    - personal space. if you touch me deliberately to test if my hair is real or grab my bum while brushing up against me on the bus or look down my shirt, things are gonna get nasty real quick.

    ahhhh, much better now :D
  • *****es ..... girls who are just plain nasty (for no reason)
    One sided friendships
    sales people who crack the sads when you ask them for a good deal (when that is their sales pitch)
    People who dont say thankyou
    when you work hard to get ahead and people treat you like s#$% cause they are jealous
