People who sell homeopathy and claim it as actual science and medicine.

Spiritual healing and cleansing courses for animals (checking their auras, negative energies, etc) with lunatic fees.

Ah yes, homeopathy horsesh1t peddlers should definitely be made illegal.

Believe in it if you want, but don't be pushing it on everyone as a "cure".

A better reflection on reality would be: People using science to debunk non-science/pseudoscience/nonsense (creationists).

Arseholism should be made illegal, though with so many offenders, it'd be hard to enforce.

Psychics who prey upon the vulnerable with unproven claims concerning money, success and love.

At the very least these shows should have warnings posted all over them and include a number for the Samaritans etc. People who need psychiatric care call these shows and spend 40 euro just to get through to someone who tells them they will have a fire in their house in the next 6 weeks so go get insurance or that they will find love in such and such a place etc. It's just complete nonsense and a fraud. Kids who should be in bed will also turn these shows on because they know they shouldnt and grow up with a twisted delusion that it's real which will create more problems.

Calling in to Joe with stupid opinions. Yes, opinions can come in the form of right, wrong, and stupid. I'm listening to some now, it's like Jerry Godamn Springer again.

People not indicating when they leave roundabouts or change lanes.
Fake tan.
Spitting.
People who say "in all in anyways" or "pacific" instead of "specific"
People who say "LOL" instead of actually laughing
People who pick their nose in their car and think that just because they're on their own we can't see them. Your surrounded by windows!!!!! We can see you.
People who say "I seen" instead of "I saw" and "been" instead of "being". (I admit this last one is a bit harsh but I've started now.)

Pigeons in housing estates

**** on your car, your washing line, your roof and **** on you

"Ah sure, no harm, just letting them out for a while for exercise" you are told when asked why they've been circling the estate for the last while

If you own land and your own bungalow then fair enough but these coops don't belong in towns and cities

Smoking, drinking, drug use while pregnant. It's the earliest form of child abuse as far as I am concerned and one of the most selfish and disgusting acts a person can do. I'd support the incarceration of serial offenders until their child is born. i also find it a disgrace for someone to use these drugs while breastfeeding as you're simply passing poison to a child.

Well I'm not really looking out for it, I don't have a fetish or anything, if that's what you're thinking. Are you? But if I'm passing another car or I'm at traffic lights and I see it then...... well there it is.

But anyway I agree that they may just not give a sh*te.

Nose-picking is an extremely common habit, with some surveys indicating that it is almost universal, with people picking their nose an average of about four times a day. A 1995 study into nose picking, requesting information from 1,000 randomly selected adults, gathered 254 respondents. It defined nose-picking as "the insertion of a finger (or other object) into the nose with the intention of removing dried nasal secretions". Of those who responded, 91% said they were current nose pickers (but only 75% of these believed everyone did it) and two people claimed to spend between fifteen to thirty minutes and one to two hours a day picking their nose.
