I have just read my emails as I do every morning and I'm amazed how many people can't use punctuation and capital letters. What the hell is wrong with people? I know it's habit from using mobile phones but when some unknown designer developes a perfectly good keyboard with a 'shift' key you would think people would have the strength to press it occasionally.
It got me thinking - it's just a small thing but it causes me to delete the mail as 'junk', and I wondered what 'spikes' other people in a small way.
What are your pet hates? - just the small things, nothing too serious.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
People whose spelling, punctuation and grammar is absolutely atrocious. If you cannot spell or put a sentence together, you should not be allowed on the internet. I swear to God, people should have to get a keyboard licence.
I don't want perfection, but some attempt to get it right would be nice. And about fifty other pet hates.
Yes, I agree with the punctuation, spelling etc. but what really gets my goat when I'm driving, is people driving in the opposite direction who 'flash' you when you're overtaking and there's miles of room, what do they think... that it'll stop me doing it? .... I don't think so, it just makes me pull in later!! Another thing ... 'pipping' what's that about then? Ok when you are trying to attract someones attention but it gets used as a finger wagging exercise, if everyone that flashes or pips examined their own driving ..

Mobile phones in pubs - I'd like to make those people eat the damn things. People who drop everything inclusing the conversation you were just having to answer their sodding phone. People driving whilst on the phone - lets amend this and say MOBILE PHONES - I HATE THEM!
Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Is coughing over the phone okay if you're phoning in sick because your team are playing at home?
One thing that drives me up the wall is when newspapers treat a minor bit of gossip about some actor or footballer as serious news and give it priority over news that actually is serious.
And similarly, the fashion for celebrities to give their kids bizarre names. What do they think is going to happen when the poor kid goes to school?
If it's anything like what happened to Richard Head at my school, it'll be torture.

Yeah, we had a Mike Hunt.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
I hate Death.

The inept security measures that surround us these days.
I was in Monmouth the other day, so I thought I would take the opportunity to visit the ruins of the castle. There is a car park and a Ministry of Defence building next to the castle, and I saw the following sign at the car park:
"If you fail to pay and display your car will be deemed a security risk"
Presumably when Al Qaeda plants a car bomb, they never think to pay the car parking charges...
