Things you think that others think you should be more tolerate/understanding/considerate of?

Me?

I cannot TOLERATE fussy eaters, even if they are children.

Public sector are worse off then private sector

That learner drivers should obey the law and not drive alone until they have passed their test

That we hand out far too much social welfare as a country and that often the people who need it most are totally screwed by the system.

I think it's wrong to talk on mobile phones on public transport. At least twice a week the same annoying woman is in the same train carriage as me and has loud conversations on her phone.

Also have issues with people eating on trains/buses/on the street.

It makes me crazy when people don't use their indicators.

I don't like it when people constantly check their iphone while talking to you or in company, its so rude.
I hate the way people generalise about different groups and sectors of people..
Oh and not using indicators, thats a good one!

People who continually ask for advice, totally ignore what's offered, then continue to act like doormats.

I tire very quickly of giving advice and should probably be more tolerable.

Parents who diagnose their own children with ADHD and allergies get on my wick.
I also hate when people answer their phone or text while in conversation, it's rude. Let the phone ring, you can always call back in a moment.

I had words with my mum last night about her constantly using her iphone when she's with us. Myself, dd and my sister called over to her and a lot of the time she was messing with stuff and showing us stuff from her phone. So I told her to stop and she said but I was looking for a picture of you I took, and I had to say that I was actually in the room in real life.

Yeah the indicators is a major bug bear with me especially at roundabouts and on the M50. How hard is it for people to use them?!!

Yikes,I hope this doesn't go the way of the Mumsnet thread

Kids should be allowed to drink coca cola without tut tuts. We all did.

Surely this isn't an unpopular opinion. Don't most people disapprove of littering?

Tee hee hee. Friday night and i'm feeling bold.

I can't abide people who make you feel like a bad mother because you didn't breastfeed.

I could go on but you'd all log off!!!

Sorry maybe thats a too personal one to put in, just miscarriage is officially up to 24 weeks when after a baby has a chance of survival and is medically termed a premature birth. Its just the media at the moment are using the same term for all losses, any loss of a baby at any stage should surely be called a loss of a baby, it is that from the start. Just think that using any other terms for it takes away from the fact that someone has lost a child.

The following drive me potty:
- People driving with the mobile phones in hand drive me potty.
- Not strapping children into car seats.
- School mums who quiz me in a very concerned way about the time I get home from work and show (unasked for) faux sympathy about how hard it must be not to share my children's day.
