London: A new survey has revealed few of the bad behaviours or habits with "using a disabled parking space without holding a blue badge" topping the list, which irritates people.

Research by the Charities Aid Foundation found that failing to give up a train or bus seat for a pregnant or elderly fellow passenger is next on the list, the Daily Express reported.

Drivers who use a family parking space at the supermarket when they don't have children also annoys people following with people jumping queues or walking past a mother carrying a pushchair up steps.

The survey of 2,000 adults found most people are less than fond of those who wear headphones but play music so loudly through them that all those around them are forced to listen in.

Drivers who use a family parking space at the supermarket when they don't have children also make people infuriated along with people who press the buttons to make lift doors close quickly.

An act of rudeness that may apply most to students is eating someone else's food from the fridge.

Commuters resent those who plonk bags down on the seat beside them on a train then have to be asked to shift them to let others sit.

The poll was conducted ahead of "Giving Tuesday," a global day which aims to encourage behaviour that is the opposite of bad manners.
