People who cough and splutter without at least attempting to cover their mouth. Agree. Reminded me of another: People who go to work sick. I would have fired them immediately!

I would have fired them immediately! in all fairness, many can't afford to take the time off, so many companies have cut back on company sick pay and £90 quid a week SSP doesn't go far.

I'm all with you here. It's actually the ones who have decided this, who should be fired!! It reminds me of yet another thing that pisses me off: Namely: political proposal here in Sweden now to implement something called "well pay" here, and get rid of the "sick pay", just like they are in this very moment shutting down on the unemployment centers around the whole country!! 4500 people unemployed who used to work at these centers to help unemployed people find a job and to give them some ecomonic compensation when out of job. No longer!! The mentioned new payment "Well pay" are supposed to be given to everyone as a kind of Reward for NOT being sick. It will replace the "Sick pay", now obviously given to you if you're sick/injured. The "Well pay" comes, according to the suggestion, on top of the salary. I suppose they will vote on this, let's see if it goes through.

No no no, it has nothing to do with that. It's a completely different thing. ☺️ This is about replacing, what you mentioned above: "sick pay", with "well pay". Instead of giving economic compensation to the sick, giving it to them who aren't. Basically, each time you're away from work - the ones who aren't, get your money.

People who make doctor or dentist appointments and then just don't bother to turn up for them. IMO they should either be fined and/or struck off the doc's or dentist's list.
People who just pull out of side roads and block your side of the road whilst they are waiting to be let in by the traffic going the other way. I'd love to have an old wreck of a car and t-bone the ignorant, inconsiderate bast*rds.
TV Weather forecasts - they just ramble on and on so long with their three or four day forecast that you forget what they've said it'll be like tomorrow. I spend half my time just watching the women presenters rather than the forecast anyway.
Jeremy Vine Julian Clary Alan Carr Keith Lemon James Corden Phil Tufnell Miranda Hart Etc etc etc etc etc - loads more !

Well, I assume at least they have to pay for the visit and the preparation costs for whatever treatment they were supposed to have been given if he/she had shown up? Like in Sweden ...

Err...no, NHS doctor appointments are free of charge. In England prescriptions are £ 8.80 per item. Over 60's get free prescriptions, and All prescriptions are free of charge in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland ! NHS Dentists charge £21.60 for a check-up and then the price increases to £59.10 if you need any treatment such as a filling or root canal work etc, and is well over £200 for a crown/ false tooth.

NHS Dentists charge £21.60 for a check-up and then the price increases to £59.10 if you need any treatment such as a filling or root canal work etc, and is well over £200 for a crown/ false tooth. When can I move? 😮 A NHS doctor here: £9.00 A nurse visit: £5.00 But the queues could be long, no guarantee they will take you the same day, so: A NHS doctor/medical student/sometimes specialist at an emergency hospital instead is £25.00. But then you have to wait in there, sitting 15-20 hours. Therefore, more and more people go private these days for a specialist appointment instead of waiting many many months (unfortunately, I can't afford it): Private Doctor: £70-130. Private surgery: shoulder: £5300, cataract: £1500. Surgery (not private): £25. Plus if you occupy a bed after any surgery. "Prescriptions £8.80 per item"??? What does it mean?🙄Surely it has to be different sums depending what is prescribed?? In Sweden it's up to £180. Over that you can get a great discount. Dentist ... now we're really talking. I have an insurance, paying just £17 per month. But not everyone can get that! And if your teeth get worse the monthly sum grows fast! Within this sum many things are included - but not replacing teeth for instance. A root canal job at a NHS dentist is: £500. A check-up is: £150. Before I had a private dentist a short period.. I tooth totally broke down. He wanted £3000 to have it replaced by a false tooth, a plastic one. I just laughed ... Instead went to a NHS clinic. They took it out. £150. They wanted £1000 for a false tooth. I would gladly like to know what different occupations get paid over there ... I've heard stories about people here in Sweden having almost all their old teeth replaced at a private dentist, paying approx £25000. But the income differences here are rising more than anywhere in Europe at the moment. The general living standard in Sweden though really has fallen the latest years, 36 in Europe I think it was. Everyone knows why ... A few very rich. Many homeless. Addition: sorry. THIS pisses me off!

Supermarkets who sell things like cakes, bread, pasties, etc. in open bins knowing full well little Johnny will get his grubby mits all over it, before Mummy chucks it back in the bin for someone else to buy. Parents who tell little Johnny that if he doesn't stop standing on the table in McDonalds, the lady cleaning the tables will tell him off (True story honestly). Parents who think pubs, restaurants, shops, GP surgeries can be used as a playground for kids. People who cough and splutter without at least attempting to cover their mouth. Keith Fucking Lemon. Dog owners who insist on having their pet cut like an ornament rather than a dog. Restaurants that allow people to piss about on their laptops before, during and after their meal. People who insist on playing games, watching TV, listening to music on planes without headphones. RyanAir. People who flash you to turn right across their path when they have the right of way, and the guy sat at the halt sign waiting for both of you to move thinks he's been flashed to pull out in front of you both. Stick to the laws of the road ffs and there might just be less accidents. Women who can't go out without their face on. When the wife can't just throw a jacket on to accompany you for the last pint at the pub and costs you at least 30-40mins drinking time. People who can't do anything without punctuating the job with endless cups of tea. I feel cleansed already. Great thread. Thank you. Kid in pubs,.yes yes yes. Actually kids in general Keith Lemon yes and add that wombat Danny Dyer and bellend Will Smith

Different taste.
When it comes to interior design (wall papers, paint, floors) or paintings, I don't mind, but people with a different taste than my own regarding:
literature music furniture, especially furniture for some reason, and especially if they don't like my furniture
- it really pisses me off. Even though I know it shouldn't! 😊

Peoole who try selling you stuff in the street or on the phone or outside shops!
My God. I've never in my life bought anything in that way, I always make thorough investigations first, going to several shops, read tests etc. Even if it's just washing powder ... Can't even spell spontaneous.

People who multitask between talking to you and playing around with their mobile phone. It’s a modern trait that I find infuriating (and, yes, I do have a teenage daughter!).
I met one of my cousins for the first time in about thirty years at a family occasion last year. He treated talking to me as an occasional distraction from looking at his phone. I turned my back on him and walked away.

People that think roundabouts are there to go straight across using both lanes, totally oblivious that your next to them, regardless of what lane you’re in.
Blast them on your horn to make them aware, they look perplexed as if it’s your fault.

The baby on board sign isn't for other drivers benefit it's for the emergency services, of course people should only put them up when they have a baby in the car I get that but it still boils my piss. Undoubtedly the signs are never removed so the emergency services wasting time looking for daddy's princess or diva on board because they aren't in the car in the fucking first place !!. Rant over Anybody who says “rant over”....or uses .com on the end of sentences I.e hungover.com Ignorant woman drivers Slow walkers Snow Waiting for parcels Dion Dublin doing a house program Estate agents Employment agencies
