1. People not re-filling ice trays and putting them back in the freezer with one ice cube left. 2. leaving the kettle empty for the next person. 3. coming back from the shops and remembering you forgot something. 4. The phone always ringing when you are on the loo and theres no-one else at home. 5.Forgetting to clean your glasses and wondering why there is a blob on the pooter screen. And finally ( for now ) Knowing that wisdom comes with age but wish you didn't know this. Have to go to the shops now so that I can forget something lol. Will look in later. LIn x

Men who channel hop - why can't they choose something from the schedule and stick with it! My boss who has an all singing all dancing contacts database and still asks me to get phone numbers for him! People who leave their trolleys in the middle of the aisle in the supermarket at the busiest time of the week! Drying washing festooned over radiators People who won't take no for an answer and insist on buying you a drink you don't want! People who are thoughtlessly late for everything. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Sheila

Overflowing ashtrays..........and yes I'm a smoker. Trolleys/pushchairs across aisles in supermarkets. people who reach across me on market rails. Those who phone me to chat in the middle of the night and start by saying 'did I wake you'.........No I had to answer the phone any way!!!!or 'are you awake'......I am now. To name a few LOL Jac

People who instead of putting a new bin bag in the bin squash down the contents of it and cram more in until its overflowing. People who start a new loo roll but dont throw away the bit of cardboard in the middle but leave it on top of the loo. and im with Sheila on the people leaving their trolley's in the middle of the aisle Jackiexx

we have a policy of whoever finishes a carton takes it straight to the recycle bin. what happens? they leave the tiniest dribble in it and put it back in the fridge!

lol........I hate the toilet roll hanging down the wall too! Cereal boxes put back in the cupboard empty, goes for cake boxes too. Cupboard doors being left open. Lid being left off the tooth paste I get up in the morning to find glasses left on the kitchen table, could at least put them in the sink even if they can't manage the dish washer thats right next to it. And why do they need a clean towel every day!! Thought they were supposed to be clean after their showers.

Adding to the trolley thing, where the aisle is empty except for one person who is taking ages looking at something with their trolley sticking out and then just as you get level with them, somebody bombs it down the aisle and positions themselves right opposite the first person, thus blocking the aisle. Happens everytime!

OMG Where do I start? The toilet roll issue...both lack of replacement and putting it the wrong way round! Drawers being left open Channel hopping Cereal Packets being left open Paper being thrown in the general direction of the bin....but missing then being left on the floor. People who chew food with their mouths open. People who speak with their mouths full.
