Some more things which annoy me

My apologies, Dear Reader, I remembered a few more things which irritate me as I was walking to work this morning:
  • People (usually women, a-hem!) who don't remove the price label from the soles of their footwear. I mean, how slack is that?
  • Power sockets being left on with no appliances plugged in. Maybe this is just me being a bit OCD or perhaps in awe of the "magic" of electricity and not understanding how it works but, really, it bugs me. Wherever I am if I see a socket switched to 'On' with nothing plugged in I am compelled to switch it off. TOM thinks I need some professional help with this particular little issue.
  • Other drivers parking so close to my side of the car that I have to gain entry through the passenger door; no mean feat in a small vehicle like mine. This happened this morning and the offending driver (I hate to say but it was a woman!!) was STILL IN her car. Busy setting up her sat nav, she was. Completely ignored my polite tapping on her window. Honestly some people.
  • Crocs footwear. Well, not the actual items themselves as I do confess to having a pair. More like Crocs being worn inappropriately. Just because you work in social care doesn't mean its ok to wear clumpy, plastic slip-ons to the office. I promise you, it just isn't professional.
A short list today but I'm glad to have got them off my chest. Thank you for your patience.

Ha! Loved your list....mine would take too long to write and I have to go to bed in 2 hours. But the parking thing gets me really mad - especially hate it when someone (usually in a 4x4) parks in TWO spaces instead of one!

ah, the 'taking up 2 parking spaces' thing - I'd forgotten about that and you're right, its always a 4x4. Thank you for your kind comments :D
