List 10 things You found irritating this week.

Tvindy has been running a meme involving audioblog. I love the accents but simply have no idea how to begin to take part in this meme. Here is a simpler one that I hope some people will join me in. List 10 things that have irritated you this week. Here are mine:

1. Cars that tail gate you when you are in a “school slow zone”.

2. Opening a packet of snakes (lolly ones) and finding only two red ones and all green ones.

3. Cliquey people

4. Mothers who tell you how to behave even when you are over 40.

5. Getting telephone calls when you are running late.

6. People who are always takers and never givers.

7. Football commentators.

8. Four wheel Drives (SUVs) that obstruct your vision at an intersection.

9 Bicycle riders who ignore the road rules and who fail to ring their bells when coming up behind pedestrians.

10. Dirty dishes.

I could go on and it's not even Friday. To work, folks! Can you list 10 things/interactions with people that have irritated you this week or are you all saintly patient people?

lol, I try to avoid complaining in my blog. But I'll see what I can do.

That's a good list, Jenny. I definitely identify with those items. Worst being being tailgated in a slow school zone.

I just thought you might like an inventory of all the bloggers you have inspired to complain. Here they are:

• Snowball
• Centime
• Snozzle5
• Receptionista
• Cat
• me

So, including your post, that's 68 complaints. (Snozzle5 only had eight.)

ROFL - thanks for this! By the way I'm still working on the audioblog meme - you never know I maybe able to expose you to the dreaded "Oz accent" ...so stay tuned.

In the foregoing list of 10 things found most aggravating in the previous week, three are dangerous, and one of those three is: SUVs that obstruct vision at intersections.

My opinion: SUVs being driven will move out of the way in a short time, but parked SUVs often critically obstruct vision and they do not move.

SUVs should be barred from on-street parking, for reason that they create very serious vision obstruction for drivers of other vehicles.

Off-street parking is another matter, where SUVs,campers and the like, do not create serious safety problems.

Pass ordinances to prohibit on-street parking of SUVs, campers, boats, trailers, etc. and we'll go a long way to making driving safer. We need proactive action like this.
