A poll for ITV1's Tonight programme has discovered that we're ruder now than we were 10 years ago! These are our most hated bad habits... see how many of these get on your nerves!

10 Not holding the door for the next person. (1.8%)

9 Not giving a seat up for a pregnant passenger. (3.3%)

8 Inconsiderate driving. (4.7%)

7 Speaking loudly on a mobile phone in public. (4.7%)

6 Passing wind/belching in public. (4.8%)

5 Playing music on an mp3 player in public. (6.9%)

4 Not saying please or thank you. (10.1%)

3 Queue jumping. (13.3%)

2 Swearing (20.2%)

1 Spitting (27.6%)

I'd have to say people playing loud music from their mobile phone or mp3 player is one of my pet hates... especially on public transport! Isn't it amazing how these people never have a good taste in music? If they were playing something from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack I might not mind as much! ;o)
