What, still?

Also: Noisy eaters. Once you hear it you can't un-hear it. aaaargh

Unnecessarily slow walkers.

The Chaffia -- i.e. the Chav Buggy Mafia. Chav mothers with screaming sprogs barely hanging onto a half-eaten half-vomited Happy Meal in second-hand buggies aimlessly hurtling headlong along the street, usually with 10 friends walking aside, smoking and cussing.

Those loud, ignorant pensioners who seem to pick out faults in the best of situations, and like to make their opinions quite clear, thinking their are superior to all others.

I was on the bus a few months ago, when it was snowing heavily. It was a school run so the bus pulled into the school and a few kids pelted snowballs at the bus. At once this old couple went crazy, calling them ungrateful little shits and they continued muttering about how children don't deserve cheaper fares and that they are disgusting and rude, et cetera. What they failed to notice was the fact that they had their muddy feet on this new buses seats opposite them with all their shopping, which is hardly any better than the kids' behavior. And also they failed to notice that they get on for FREE, so perhaps they should show a bit of respect for a privilege that they get..

Another situation was when a woman shouted at a bus driver (pensioners reside on buses), for the previous bus having the wrong destination on it. Firstly, it's not THAT drivers fault, so I've not a clue why she was shouting at the man. Secondly, if she was aware that was the correct bus then why didn't she at least complain to the driver of that bus, and ask him to change it? Off to the old people's home, I think deary.

Argh. They all do my nut in.

Irrationally mardy old people do my head in too. Any excuse to bloody whinge.

I wouldn't worry about any of these things. So you hate Rebecca Black? Not her fault she's famous. Most likely, she made a song that wasn't very good then your idiot mates started banging on about how much they hate her. So hate your friends who formulate opinions on people they've never met.

I hate people who moan about celebrities who have done nothing more than take something that was offered to them - Something that I'm fairly certain that any of you would take, if it were dangling before you.

Throwing snowballs at buses is worse than having muddy shoes and shopping on them.

I wear second hand clothes, have more than ten friends, smoke and swear. If I have a child am I one of them?

Only if you treat it as a fashion accessory, abandon it in the corner of the library while you play Farmville on Facebook, shout expletive-laden half-sentences at it if it so much as snivvels, have its ears pierced at 6 weeks and call it Shanice.

Now I appreciate you may find it distasteful that I hold such opinions against my fellow human beings. To be honest, so do I sometimes. But then I look at these people who have, over the course of their existences, been given every benefit of the doubt too many times by every person they encounter, and still behave like complete animals. I'm as idealistic as they come - I try to see the good in everyone. However there are some people who, if they have any good in them at all, bury it below tons of bile, literally and metaphorically. I do not have time for these people, and the pain they inflict on the lives of others.

Opinions are fluid things. They are shaped by circumstance - whether it be over time or in the moment. My opinions on various things have changed over the years, from the EU to Eminem. Truth be told, this opinion, irritation, annoyance whatever, may not last. But for now, I'm happy to judge myself against it. I live by the standards I set myself. Not by anyone elses. Sorry about that.

Oh, I forgot to add Portsmouth Football Club to the list...

perhaps but it is hypocritical to be so sanctimonious about kids misbehaving when said adults have their muddle shoes on the opposite seat in disobedience of the bus rules.
