What Makes You REALLY ANGRY?
Discussion
People who stop in stupid places. The number of times I've got to the end of an escalator or a shop doorway to find people have just stopped dead blocking the way while they work out what they're going to do next or even just stop for a chat. Being 15 stone I can blame momentum on the escalators but it's a bit more obvious to just barge through people that have stopped in a doorway.

I hate 'em.
I agree, I only appreciated this once I my own child. I hate 'em.

I was adamant that I wasn't going to become one of those parents with a pram, you know the ones. The ones who think they get priority in a lift...the ones who think they have priority when pushing around a narrow shop. And I'm proud to say I haven't become that parent...however, when a car is parked on the pavement so I can't get by and it's a dodgy bit of road, then it seriously pissed me off. It's not that my daughters life is more valuable than others, automatically because she is a child, but because navigating a pram off the curb, into the road and back again takes much more time than it would if I was just on my own.
If they're parked on the pavement and I can get by, no problem. If they're parked on the pavement and the road is safe to go around it, it's a bit lazy, but doesn't bother me. But if I genuinely feel dangered because someone couldn't park their car correctly, it makes me think that person is an absolute and would have no redeeming qualities.

We had someone do this recently where I live, must have had 80% of their car on the pavement. 3 days later I saw it with a ticket. Cheered me up no end and not seen it since!I hate 'em.

I did see a while ago in Brighton someone who did this and later, when I walked past there were more than a few scratches on their car from what looks like a pushchair or pram. TBO i'm in two minds about this. Yes it property and respect etc, but the other side says why park in the first place in such a way that this is more than likely to happen. Pedestrians should not have to walk in the road to get around your car parked on the pavement. He who parks in such a way, beware.I hate 'em.

I've said this elsewhere but there's a TV ad that's making me fume. It's the one for the Ford C-Max that demonstrates its hands free tailgate. A toddler is looking for his new toy. He kicks the car's rear skirt and the tailgate opens to reveal a stuffed toy orang utan.
If the little ste was to kick my brand new car, a toy is the last thing he'd be getting.

Imagine it:
Thump, thump, WHOOSH, sound of teeth falling like hailstones.
