What do you really hate?

[Lucy Thomas]

What one thing that REALLY annoys you,would like to change.

For me, it's the word 'Brits' to describe people from Britain. We are correctly known as Britons but the gutter press seem to reinforce this name 'Brits'.

I once heard a gentleman of Asian extraction talking about Brits. So I asked him if he was a ****. See, even AB won't allow you to use the word. Suffice to say it starts with P and rhymes with tacky.

He took offence so I asked him what was the difference between me talking about ***** and him talking about Brits.

He didn't have an answer.

What is your pet hate?

[Doc_Spock]

The tabloid press referring to our polics as "cops"

[Doc_Spock]

Bus lanes.

Why can I not use them. Why should roads built at my expense be for the sole use of a private firm.

[Doc_Spock]

If a private taxi service wants its own road they should build it themselves.

idiots on here
public transport
doctors
People chewing gum
People eating with the mouths open
pushy teenage brats
people coming into our country nicking our jobs and money we worked hard for to pay for taxes.

Oh thats another pet hate, you got me going now, people who move to this country but refuse to use our language!!!!!!! I find it weird when your in a shop and some one is talking in a foreign language whilst staring at you!

[obNOXious]

I hate people who are intolerant of other people's cultures.... and the Dutch.
(Best line ever from a film)

Seriously I hate racists, sexists, bigots and people who are generally rude.

[firewatch]

I know but im cranky and in the mood to rant

[Doc_Spock]

Being a homophobic racist bigot, I hate people who don't agree with me.

[firewatch]

oh i know how work shy they can be, just look at the people going to claim JSA DLA etc, who could quite easily go and work in a supermarket??!!!
I refused to claim benifits when i was sacked, instead i got a part time job went back to college and now i have my dream job.

Cops has been done, I hate the way papers will write about nurses or doctors and print a picture (in case we dont know what a nurse or a doctor looks like) of some model in a nurse's outfit.
Really grinds my gears...

[sara3]

men who think women are "stoopid"!

[Lakitu]

I'd be thanking my lucky stars if all I had to worry about was being called a Brit.
