I'm getting sick of seeing people wearing jogging bottoms instead of proper trousers when they're out and about. I'm not talking about the people who walk home from the gym in them, but the ones who, for reasons unknown, think that they are an acceptable replacement for jeans etc. Especially if they're the fleecy ones that kind of look like pajama bottoms; come on now people - you could at least attempt to make an effort.
I know people argue that they're comfy to wear around the house blah blah blah, but so are the short shorts that I wear around the house in summer, doesn't mean I should keep them on when I pop to Sainsburys now, does it? Comfort does not equate social acceptablility, sadly.
I don't think it's a snob thing either, you can get jeans for about the same price these days, but then you can't tuck jeans into socks for that 'hardcore' look like you can jogging bottoms.

Pinball people
I've noticed that there's more and more people who apparently struggle to walk in a straight line now and instead just plod along swerving from one side of the street to the other as they go, I like to refer to them as 'pinball people' (or worse if dodging a herd of them is making me late). I don't get this. They must be heading somewhere, so why not, you know, aim for it.
The worst is people doing this with prams, they're the hardest to get around and a lot of them time they've got the 'pram = right of way so eff you' attitude. Which is nice in a way, because sometimes, even though you leave the house thinking you want to get to work/uni, what you really want to do is walk at a pace so slow it would disgust sloths and listen to some kid in a pram wailing.
