We have had various threads on this subject but sometime ago so I thought I'd start a new one with this........
People in Tesco who "park" their big trolleys right against the shelf with an item I want while they leisurely study items on shelves on the opposite side of the aisle.
>:( >:( >:(
-
If we’ve done this before I’ve probably shared this one, but waiting to turn out of a T junction for people travelling on the main road who then turn into the road you are waiting in with a last second indicator.
I could rip their inconsiderate, ignorant heeds off.
-
People who go on quiz shows who can't answer a question about any event that happened before the year 2000 because it was 'before my time'.
-
Drivers like the guy today in Asda's car park that kept us waiting while he shoehorned his 4x4 in a tight space,the only empty one in the bay,when 30yards away there were plenty of empty spaces >:(
And lazy shoppers that can't be bothered to return the trolleys to the trolley park and invariably leave it in a parking bay.

I stay in too many hotels these days. The small & friendly type are fine. At a certain level (mid range) they drive me insane with one particular thing they all seem to do.
When you arrive at reception to check in, when you arrive at that irritating "please wait to be seated" bit at the restaurant for dinner (and then again at breakfast) there is always just the one member of staff, processing some important sh1te on the till or in a book.
I don't mind that they are busy, what drives me mental is that I am now standing in front of them for some time, sometimes several minutes and they haven't even looked up. They know I am there, it is impossible that they might not have noticed.
I don't demand special attention, I don't expect them to drop everything they are doing. All I want is acknowledgement that I am actually there - they could simply look up and say "just a moment while I sort this" or similar, but what they do is ignore me till they have finished whatever that incredibly important task might be, fold up the paper they were checking, put it in it's correct file, put the lid back on their cheap, nasty Bic biro, then look up at me as if I just arrived 2 seconds ago.

That was going to be my next one badger especially when you only notice after turning into the space. >:( >:( >:(

As the husband of a Fiat 500 owner, those irritating Fiat 500 owners who park their Fiat 500s right into a space, particularly at airport car parking so when you suddenly realise you can't find a space and your flight is departing sooner and sooner, only to spot an empty space - which turns out to be a space with a bloody Fiat 500 parked right into it.

Or worse yet a motorbike or scooter :) :) :)

If I was doing that kind of job, I'd do exactly that. Just because I could. :)

Middle lane drivers on the motorway.

Middle lane drivers on the motorway.
And when you overtake them they always seem to be in a trance :(
-
The signage overload we have to put up with ---- drives me mad.
"New road sign ahead"
"Sign not in use"
"Slow down"
etc etc etc etc
-
Or the ones, generally on Scottish motorways, telling drivers to 'Check Your Tyre Pressures' ! I'm sure if I stopped in the 3rd lane to do that it would cause a bit of a ruckus.

Exactly. Especially the PC nanny state ones like " no smoking in the filling station forecourt"
-
“Drive according to the conditions”
And there was me driving wholly inappropriately for the conditions till I spied that helpful sign
-
People who indicate left all the way round the roundabout. I'll just guess which exit they want :(

Had one on the M5 last week. She never moved once. Went past her and she was indeed in a trance.
-
People who end nearly every sentence with "know what I mean".
E.G. I am unemployed and cannot afford to go on holiday, you what I mean.
My rough guess at the meaning would be.... you don't have a job at the moment and therefore have no spare cash for a vacation.
-
Or those that start a sentence with 'So'......

Stop it. That was another of mine ;)

aaarrrrggghhh, that one SO annoys me >:( :( ;D

With the modern age comes new things to p1ss me off!
In the last year or so I have been irritated by something that is new to me. People watching something on their phones in public with the volume on full!!!
I don't mean in a park or something, so far this year I have experienced it at breakfast in a hotel (and there was only me and the bloke in the room so it was deathly silent till he started), In a hotel bar/lobby area and even on a plane - some yoof watching a film on full blast :o He was in a middle seat and I couldn't believe the men sitting either side of him didn't even say a word.
If this is a glimpse of the future for our planet, I want off.

Drivers who don’t know how to negotiate a staggered junction..

Pretentious sh*t that is talked about "art" such as has just been demonstrated on The Antiques Road Show regarding a "self portrait" of John Lennon and Yoko Ono :( :( :(
-
This described by the "expert" as, wait for it.....as good as a self portrait of John as you are going to see.

People who end social media posts with 'X' or multiples of it.
XxX

Don’t get me started on Facebook
And those idiot people who’s life is literally a laugh a minute
Just been to Migros on the dolmus lol
-
After last weeks PPP it has to be conveyancing solicitors who lie :(

The "expert" valued it at between £ 35,000 and £ 40,000 would you believe. >:( >:( >:(

Cannot stand Mark Labbett's pronunciation on The Chase. Firty Free Fousand £s.
Likewise people who refer to expresso coffee, hospikal, and of course, the horribly misused apostrophe mark
-

That's speechism. You mind the 'Fought Poleese' don't come lookin' for ya. ;)
-
You have to accept that some people will have poor grammar and punctuation. However, not understanding the difference between 'bought' & 'brought' makes me want to throttle them.
-
You beat me to it Scunner. I hate that and yet you see it regularly >:(
-
Women usually who call other women "Hun"

People who holiday in places, or worse still buy a property and can't even spell the place. You can imagine with my history I've seen pretty much all of them, Chalis, Chalish, Calais, Fetihye, Fetiyer, Hisonaru, Uzumulu...
...but the one that makes me cringe is nothing to do with Turkey...The "Grand Canaries" :(
-
Couldn't agree more with that one :)
-
Since I'm here for a change (home :D ) here's an irrational one...
In those awful queuing mazes you find at banks and the like where you are routed up and back several times like bleedin sheep...the ones at the airport check in (and passport control when you get home) - not the queuing, but people who stay where they are when the queue moves forward. They are in front of us and everyone in front of them has moved on 5 metres but they just leave it as a 5 metre gap.
Grrr one day I will just walk round them into the space :D
-
People who pepper their texts with acronyms especially obscure acronyms which the writer have specialist knowledge of but which the reader would never have heard of and couldn't possibly guess. :( :( :( :(

Same scenario in queuing traffic >:( >:( >:(
-
Just one more major irritation as I need sleep :D
People in banks primarily, but I note it is becoming more widespread into retail, who will process your transaction and while doing so will totally invade your life by asking inane cr4p like "so what else are you up to today?" - "none of your business d1ckhead, just shut up & pay that cheque into my account" :D

I have a friend with his own text abbreviation language who I swear could condense the Complete Works of Shakespeare into 3 letters
-
People who seem to think that the words "something" , "nothing" and "everything" end in a "K"!!!!
-
Cyclists who.......
Cyclists who.......
Oh to hell with it.......
Cyclists period.

I'm sure I've seen a picture of you in Lycra H. Or was it just another alcohol fuelled nightmare ?
-
people who write of instead of have. Ie I could of gone out. I could of won the lottery .
-
People who spell "does" as "dose". "Dose" is when you have green stuff coming out of your willy. (So they tell me)
-
People who claim that photos like this are natural colours and have not been massively enhanced.

As this pet hates thread shows how easily people can be annoyed heres an excellent tip to really annoy people
Next time you are in a supermarket stocking up on bozze- perhaps for a bbq or party- lift a packet of nappies from the shelf and bring it with you to the till
Set down your 4 cases of beer, 5 bottles of spirits 4 bottles of wine etc on the checkout conveyor
Then set the nappies next to them
As cashier and fellow customers watch pretend to be adding up the total cost of all your purchases in your head
Then lift the packet of nappies off the check out belt setting them aside not to be purchased
The dirty looks tut tuts and mumblings of " disgraceful " are priceless!!!!
-
Or, just make out you've forgotten your wallet and walk out.
