Marvin Gets Mad by Joseph Theobald is a great new book released on 13th March it is the long-awaited sequel to the hugely popular Marvin Wanted More. A great fun book which tells of Marvin who wanted a particular apple, when Molly eats it, Marvin has a HUGE tantrum, Marvin grows horns, huge pink feet and a spiky tail, as he sets off upsetting the other animals as he stomps through the countryside. How will Marvin calm down? what will happen to this very angry sheep. You will have to read and find out!
For all parents who have experienced a tantrum this book will sound familiar. For the toddlers perhaps it will bring a smile and some calm, maybe even teaching them how to deal with those feeling of anger and upset. I love the illustrations in this book, they are bright colourful and engaging and all children will love the return of Marvin.

People who don’t say please or thank you!
Manners in the past were taught and encouraged by parents. Some parents still do this, maybe it needs to be also taught and discussed in schools. Many parents have a multitude of commitments nowadays, whilst children are influenced by peers, TV etc, etc.
I always hold the door for people at work when I’m coming in or out of the office, and the majority of them don’t say thank you – it really winds me up! x

My husband not clearing away the dishes from the dining room after dinner makes me mad
Equal Rights.
crazy drivers cutting you up
dog walkers who don’t pick up or clean up after them
The people that pick there dog poo up then leave it on a wall or hanging in a tree
My other half!
Supermarket bad manners drive me mad: people who hover over you when you are removing your shopping from the trolley in the trolley park because they want it, people who shove your shopping up the conveyer belt because they don’t have the patience to wait, people next in the queue who stand really close when you’re trying to type your pin in . . .
People with no manners or respect for others.x
I thought Respect was being taught in schools. It was very much a part of life with previous generations.
People driving too slowly!
People who randomly stop in the middle of busy streets.
Yes, I know what you mean. Though I know why some may do this :- Health conditions, Heart and / or Lung conditions etc. As they do not have the energy to keep going (yet may have the desire to). Why anyone does suddenly stop who doesn’t have a health problem :- I don’t know. As it is inconsiderate and can be dangerous.
Personally I see your point, as I have arthritis :- If someone stops suddenly in front of me, then I have to stop. As well as possible inconvenience, it causes me physical pain.
rudeness
40mph drivers!!! 40 in a 60 and 40 in a 30! I don’t get it?!!!
I am liking these answers makes for interesting reading! (I’m with you on that one)
What really makes me angry is just because im young (19) and wear tracksuits people look at me funny just beacuse i say please and thank you and will hold a door open for other people and give up my seat on a train or bus. Its as if just because your young with a hood you have to be rude and arregent
It may just be surprise on their part, due to the fact that youngsters for some years were not considerate of others. Self centred, now that some are aware of others (by their actions) and considerate of them is just delightful. It can sometimes leave people speechless. Thank-you for your consideration and Respect, it is appreciated and welcomed.
People just stopping in front of you in the street without warning!
As per Susan Lloyd.
Everything at the moment! Particularly, rudeness, having no respect, bad customer service, inefficiency, basically, people!!
You mention “bad customer service” :- Most would say answer to that is’ vote with your feet’. Take your service and fee (money) elsewhere where you are welcome and appreciated. It is customer loyalty which can keep a business running and even prospering.
People who smoke & are inconsiderate to those who do not smoke
rude and inconsiderate people
People treating their kids badly!
Services which avoid dealing with clients. The service would not be there if it weren’t for the clients. Employee would not be in that job if it was not for clients needs. Unfortunately this happens with Health and Social care. Yet if client dealt with appropriately and promptly then Service running efficiently and effectively. Just as it should :- Given that it is paid for via British taxpayers.
When ‘Buck is Passed’ :- ‘Dominoe Effect’, as someone else, other people, another service is left to deal with it.
Not very much, I’m very laid back, but I do get infuriated with the children at times – I’m only human!

Pretty much everything! Rude people, the news, my children – the list is endless!

A topical one for me this week is people dossing around at work because they are quiet… but there are other people working their socks off. Don’t need to turn the office into a 6th form common room!
people not picking up after themselves grrr
rudeness and bad manners there is just no need for it
everything
Bad manners
People who walk and text at the same time. They are not looking where they are going.
People being noisy when my son is trying to sleep, ignorance and right now it would have to be the laziness/childishness of Solicitors. Desperately trying to move and they’re not doing their jobs properly! I could go on a mega rant but I wont, lol x
rudeness and when somebody is shouting with kids
I get really mad when I’m out shopping or similar and it’s busy and the person in front of me stops suddenly for absolutely no reason! x

queue jumpers and drive blockers!
Bad manners @anna8301
I hate it when people are late. Or companies who do not deliver on time. Being kept waiting in the hairdressers. My time is important to me. I NEVER keep people waiting.
Injustice, peole who can’t clear up after their dogs, poor customer service, Ferrari not winning Grand Prix!

Ignorant comments on internet forums
People using my desk at work and covering it in crumbs and filth!

My absolute pet hate is shop assistants who chat to their co workers whilst serving. The bloke in the library did this recently as he checked my books out, and even ignored me when I thanked him!
Bad manners and rudeness!
when people leave the empty loo roll on the dispenser and put a new one on top
Dog poo on the school run. JUST PICK IT UP!

drivers cutting you up
What makes me mad..rude people that dont say please and thank you. People that speed
Fussy people! Some people are never satisfied
I hate seeing people without good manners
Lots makes me mad. Irresponsible dog owners who don,t pick up after their dogs, racism, rudeness, bullying, people questioning the choices I make as a parent. I am sure there is lots more lol
when people do not use manners, i was taught that manners cost you nothing, but when i use them, people look at me as if i am using a foreign lanuage
Ignorance – why can people not answer you?
Dog walkers who don’t pick up dog muck, or ones who do only to throw the bag and it’s contents in the nearest bush/tree/garden!
Online pickers in supermarkets talking to a colleague about non-related work issues blocking aisles and displays with their trolleys really annoy me 🙂
crazy drivers
Bullies
People shouting at me, the general unfairness of the world, some of our customers at work!
Litter, hate it and no excuse whatsoever.
Lack of sleep!
People who park in mother / child car parking spaces and clearly have no children! Or worse still – have older children – they should know better!
People leaving their dog poo laying around!
Adults who tell lies
Littering! I really hate it, people are so lazy. how you can litter in you own little village where you live, isn’t it nicer to walk in clean streets.. I’ll never understand.
Cyclist who go through red lights, undertake buses/lorries, don’t have lights or wear high viv jackets and then cyclist on the path when there is a purpose built cyclist line right next to them on the road!
Dog mess on my road
Lot’s of things make me mad. People who have no manners, doesn’t take two seconds to say please and thank you. People who don’t pronounce their H’s (happens a lot in Birmingham) at the beginning of words. Lateness, I’m not a fan of being kept waiting.
No manners
Selfish people who don’t say thank you when you have gone out of your way to help them !
The children dumping their bags, coats and shoes by the front door.
So many things! But the main two are people who lie, and bad English 🙂

Standing in supermarket queues (or any shop queues) when there are a group of staff (usually supervisors/managers) talking amongst themselves & empty tills they could be using!!

Cruelty to people and animals.
Those irritating ppi calls
Lack of manners!

My Nan!! – She seriously cracks me up that woman 🙂
People who try and push in a queue, I really hate that!
arrogance! ergh!
Pointless marketing schemes. Like the silly little hats on the innocent smoothy ad. Why spend time on that marketing scheme just send money to the elderly who can’t heat their homes or make hats for premature babies who actually need it but no they spend their time and money on that making silly little hats for bottles.
When people don’t do their jobs properly
people who park too much on the path so you cant get past safely.
I hate litter – there are bins around!
