    Oh yes! Also add to when the carpark is near empty: if you drive a huge car, don't park beside a very small car. You may have good vision, so respect that you are taking away someone elses when you park beside them.
    Mmmm... I always try to park my HUGE car next to a small car. The reason being, that if it is a small car, they are much less likely to scratch or dint my car with their car door. And if I park next to another big car I can garauntee you that they will hit my car opening their doors (Ours slide open so it isn't us hitting them).

    It is not the next person in the queues job to put YOUR shopping basket/trolley away! And it is only polite to thank the person behind you (who needs to put their groceries down where YOUR basket is) when the put it away for you!!

    On behalf of all the small car drivers I thank you for making seeing when backing out just that little bit more difficult!

    Agree, but change that to "almost impossible". When a car park is full, fair enough, park where you can, but when the carpark is almost empty (as in my first post)???

    When you see a woman pushing a trolley with three toddlers in it it is much easier for you to move out the way then expect her to go around you!! (I am amazed at the amount of people who do not do this...I am pushing the equivalent of a semi trailer!)
    If you are smoking please don't hold your lit cigarette down by your side when kids are around...it is their eye height.

    Amen!!! Or even if you're just a person with no trolley and you expect someone with a trolley to move out of the way for you, regardless of having kids with or being pregnant!!

    Completely agree with the big 4WD/monster car parking next to little cars and cutting off any vision one too!

    If you are turning right into the terminating road at a T-junction, DON'T CUT THE CORNER!!!! Like the idiot who cut the entire corner at full speed when I was just getting to the T-junction yesterday!

    And ESPECIALLY underground car parks, near the entrances, next to the parent parking so ensuring you'll make kids go through the smoke Yes, that's exactly what happened today. Once on the way in, once on the way out.

    Sooo frustrating. One day I might get up the courage to tell them to take their disgusting habit elsewhere!

    20 horses should not be taken on the road en mass during commuting times. Certainly not 60mph roads with blind bends. I just missed a head-on collision thanks to that last week (drivers trying to overtake and give horses room, but on my side of the road).

    I tell people to stop smoking near my kids if my kids are there first. But I always do dramatic disgusted expressions and fan their stench away from me if I am forced to walk through it. I can smell them a mile off.

    And also don't touch a trolley with other people's children in it. I don't care that there were people blocking the aisle where you wanted to walk, my trolley was out of the way and up against the shelves and using the handle to shove it out of your way without giving me time to catch it, and storming off while it collides with the shelves on the other side of the aisle off it a completely unreasonable and dangerous way to get my trolley out of the way. There were two small children sitting in the top of it and trolleys can topple. I was about to move out of your way if you had bothered to say excuse me or wait more than half a second.

    And if I grace you with my presence and agree to have coffee/dinner/playdate etc then PUT AWAY YOUR MOBILE PHONE! I don't go out for coffee/dinner etc to watch you text other people for the night. I am in front of you, try talking to me or don't be surprised that I decline invitations to spend time with you.

    Don't be silly Rouge. It's the IV drip you want for vodka. However, I'd be happy with a Melchizedek or even a Primat of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigiot.

    MAKE ME HAPPY.

    If you're in a waiting room and the seating arrangements are inadequate, let your kid sit on your lap/the floor or stand, particularly when there are elderly people waiting.

    I'll add to that - if you're in a waiting room in the oncology unit, and there's not enough seating - stand up if you're one of the healthy people there (!!!!!)
