The slow creeping onset of rheumatoid arthritis in my hands.

So frustrating

People who say they watched Dr Who on TV as a kid "from behind the couch".
Was it scary? I can only remember bombing around the playground pretending to be a dalek and doing the exterminate voice endlessly.

Indeed. All got a bit ridiculous after the daleks (the daleks were a novelty at the time).

People who leave receipts in ATMs or self-service tills. This is made even more annoying when most ATMs or self-service tills provide customers with an option to not receive a receipt.

I watched it from the beginning. Hartnell was a brilliant doctor, and as a 7 year old, those Cybermen freaked me out.

You had a couch?

When you hold a door for someone and they don't say "thanks".

4×4 drivers irritating at the moment, be something else tomorrow.

Great shout, infuriates me that. Typically results in a loud and very sarky ‘you’re welcome’

Dead easy in the grand scheme of things.

Sad times, but I never expect a "thanks", "excuse me" or "please" these days.

Nice when you do encounter good manners though.

I’ve tried my best to keep that “you’re welcome” in but I just can’t. My daughters picked it up from me and I keep telling her to at least give them chance to say thanks!

Being nice and courteous these days seems somewhat revolutionary.

As my parents regularly explained to me, and likewise I repeat to my own children, manners cost nothing but are worth absolutely everything.

A strong handshake, please, thank you, excuse me and a pardon go a long way to building strong relationships, and vice versa.
