The world's biggest list of irritating, anti-social behaviour - an update

There's been an astonishing response to the annoying anti-social behaviour list. You're all very irritated.

Mainly it seems by smokers, anti-smokers, cyclists, pedestrians, motorists, young people, the elderly, commuters and the universal favourite - yoofs who play music on their mobile phones.

As well as stuffing the comment section of the original post, you’ve deluged the Comment Central inbox with suggestions that should make the list. So here are some entries that have been sent in via email:

Pam writes:

People who reach the top of the escalator only to stand and stare around them, leaving the rest of us with nowhere to go when we reach the top!

A "62 year old young man" suggests:

Little old ladies and not so old who stand in shop doorways and gossip. Why can’t they move to somewhere they will not block the door way.

David Dent can't abide:

Neighbours who complain to me about anti-social behaviour but who can't be bothered to ring the police

Alison Turner rails against:

People who raise their eyebrows at you instead of smiling and acknowledging your greeting

Er, who does that exactly? And last but not least, an "Angry Old Man in Manchester" writes:

People talking at loud volume to each other on public transport about their office politics...

Newspaper journalists bringing out surveys that waste my lunch hour

Keep them coming.

One that is most annoying is people who call you up and say"Hello, who is this?" This is a habit in the western state of Gujarat, India and it is so,so annoying.
My answer is "You ought to know, you are the one that called!"
I have been living in this state for about 27 years , but can't seem to get used to it. I probably never will.
