things that annoy us

I can well believe the news reports we hear now and again of people losing their life savings by giving to loads of spammers and spamming charities that constantly badger people for money. If I find the energy sometime I will make a note of all the requests I see and hear in one day just to count up what the demand is. It would certainly run to hundreds of pounds a year and probably thousands which the susceptible would give. In isolation many may be genuine and for good causes but there are plenty of real criminals and to end up on a list of 'givers' which many people / organisations can access is really criminal.

People who switch off the kettle before it's finished boiling.

I have patients, who have been virtually bankrupted by their kindness towards charities, and their was little support from the charities, when their carers tried to fix the problem.

Charities who bleed the poor dry are totally immoral. Preachers who accept donations in America are the bad guys. These types of people who take money from the vulnerable are completely out-of-order. It is totally wrong. So I see your point, jen.

I have to agree.

I think that it is natural to find anyone annoying at times.

They constantly annoy me, every time I talk to them.

I'll clarify that with what I find - For me it is when people criticise because it is in their nature to for almost everything. The feel they need to get their two pennyworth in

My neighbour is great at back handed compliments and criticism she cant admit that anyone has done, said, or looks better than she does..

She saw one of my bird photos recently and said, 'wow I love that the way you bring the bird forward and blur the background so the bird really pops, but,  it doesnt look like something you could do,  it looks like you clipped it from a magazine'
Then she asked if I would do a photo shoot of her sons dog so she could make him a calender for his birthday..

I politely refused.

What I hate are people who plain nasty: and especially when they are conniving about it. Plus, I hate it when someone has their back turned and refuse to acknowledge someone.

Well I'm good at that one.
If someone has angered me, insulted me or been nasty enough to me I will literally cut them dead and when I mean they don't exist I mean I will walk past them as if they are invisible.

I don't need to have rows, I don't need to hear them justify why they were horrible, so unless they come up and apologise properly and fully I will literally exclude them from my life and they will no longer exist.

I've had someone do that to me: I did not like it. The worst thing was, I had no idea who she was! Or what I had done.

It is fair enough if you're annoyed and angry and turn your back, but I know how it feels to have it done to you.

You are certainly old school.
