I hate women that have kiddies in cheap pushchairs that seem to think that pushing the poor little mite out into traffic will stop the traffic!

[violetsrose]

Oh yeah - that too - they are just stupid (see above) - they also come in the not-responsible category (see above again)

people who can't hold a pencil properly

there is no 'proper' way of holding a pencil, there are ones that are better than others but no proper way, each person is different

[violetsrose]

No, there IS a proper way - just because people do it the wrong way is no excuse - yes people are different but there is usually a best way to do everything to get the best results and thats why its taught that way - you wouldn't say "there isn't a right way to do brain surgery, everyone does it differently" - that would be craziness - I have seem some completely ham-fisted ways of holding writing implements and the appalling writing that ensues is evidence that they are not holding the implement correctly - why do you have so much emphasis on holding the implement correctly when playing golf or tennis for example if there isn't a right way to do things - we wouldn't need schools if people could just do everything their own sweet way

[felishumanus]

if there is a right way to hold a pen or pencil, then how come no one has told me not to hold in in the way i have always done?

my way may not be the norm, but it isn't the wrong way either.

opinions differ, which it seems ours do.

[violetsrose]

How do you know you're not doing it the right way eh???

and teaching standards in schools have fallen appallingly over the years - half the teachers don't even know stuff themselves - how can they teach children properly?

Sandals with socks are de rigour in China; maybe fashion sense hadn't reached Beijing when I was there ;o)

[sinibar]

Although not so much the case now, it was at one time very much en vogue in the arena of the "computer programmer". These were the days when you needed a degree in electronics and another in maths before you could program a computer. Daft beards were also fashionable at the time.

[violetsrose]

Now beards I have no problem with at all - they can stay

[violetsrose]

If its warm enough for sandals you don't need the socks - if its cold enough for socks you need shoes that are warmer than sandals - it just makes sense - logical!

I hate people who talk on mobile phones, blocking the way out of the building. Then they look indignant when you ask to get by.

[violetsrose]

Oh yes - good one! - stupid people that block the way or dawdle or weave all over the pavement when everyone else is trying to get past - stupid indeed (see above)

[hotlavajava]

You missed out the thing that sends you into a grammar nazi frothing at the mouth frenzy...

....INVITE!!!!!

[ladybirdintheuk]

I too was exepecting that to be on the list!

[violetsrose]

I forgot that!!! *hangs head in shame* - its one of my biggest hates too!!

[violetsrose]

Oh god thats the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 - I hate that!!!

To invite is a verb "I am going to invite all my friends to my party"

The thing you get in the post or from the mouth of the person asking you, is an INVITATION!!!!!
"oh look I have a wedding invitation from my friend"

Why can't people get that right????? Its not hard!!!!

It drives me mad when they get it wrong
