People in traffic jams that leave 30ft gaps between them and the car in front

 

Jimmy Carr's laugh

 

Supermarket pound trolleys

 

Jimmy Carr

 

'Style-over-substance' managers that pretend they know what their doing when they clearly don't and use salesman's terms in EVERY situation.

 

Deserted traffic light junctions where the lights are green on approach, they go red, not one other car approaches from any direction and 1 minute later the lights go green again

 

Corner shops that make their shop assistants say "anything else?" or "Just that?" when you pop in and want one item like a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread

 

Any football team managed by Sam Allardyce

 

99% of chart music

 

PCSOs who cycle side-by-side on a road

Don't know about chart music, try to avoid it.

 

Add any person serving you with food who says "Enjoy".

People who speak American ie

 

"Can I get" instead of "can I have"

"And its so like...."

"Awesome"

 

Etc

 

People who raise their tone at the end of a sentance so it seems like they are asking a question when they aren't.

 

And so that is like everyone under the age of 25.

Adverts where the advertisers try to convince us that the actors used are 'real ordinary people just like us, honestly'.

 

I make a point of never buying any of these advertisers' products.

It's made me angry just typing this post! If I ever encounter any of these people I will smite them to the ground.

People who use 'would of' instead of 'would have'..... And people who can't understand the difference. Same to their, there and they're...ditto you're and your.

General grammatic ****tardedness.

Idiots with opinions.

People who attend football matches who are experts.

People who attend football matches who offer opposing fans out across a line of police / stewards and a fence.

Reality TV...it adds to grammatical ****tardedness as these programs tend to be inhabited by complete ****tards... People watch this and look up to these spastics.

People who think it's wrong to punch someone in any situation.

Orange text.

Mushrooms.

Little things that annoy me? - how long have you got?

 

Gravy on your knife handle.

Coasters that stick on the bottom of glass/cup until they get nearer to your face.

People that don't thank you - in a car or on foot, or generally.

Breakfast television, or any tv that caters for the thick.

Cowell etc.

People who listen to commercial radio with it's playlist of ten songs and who think that they must buy one of them.

Men who have the musical taste of eight year old girls.

Cold callers.

People who say 'absolutely' because they have nothing else to say - that single word is not a proper response in ANY situation.

Anyone who is interested in any aspect of celebrity culture.

Any music outlet that gives 'recommended listening' - I don't go around the manager's house and tell him what to have for tea, I'll choose my music, not you.

Cereal and milk that leave the spoon just prior to making it to your face.

Men who walked to SMS yesterday clutching little old lady umbrellas, blocking pavements, and taking people's eyes out.

Hot breakfast served cold.

A fly buzzing around when you are trying to sleep - ditto a beeping phone that needs charging.

Banks.

Drivers blocking the whole road when turning right.

Hotel toast served limp and untoasted - that's called warmed bread.

Drivers not indicating.

Barclaycard.

Waiters in New York giving you pickles that you don't want, and thinking this act deserves a tip.

A small stone that appears in your shoe once you have put it on.

People who on hearing a really good joke, just stare blankly.

The general public.

Insurance companies that sell through fear.

Burglars.

Companies that make you wear a security tag even if you have worked there for fifty years - they just want to own your soul - so don't wear it when you go out for lunch, free yourself for an hour.

Pedestrians who wander across cycle lanes without looking.

Clients - could apply to any business that has to deal with people.

The keyboard that fails to mention that you HIT THE CAPS KEY ACCIDENTALLY HALFWAY THROUGH.

The failure of pompey fans to recognise truth.

Myself for spending far too much time trying to educate them through a blend of ridicule, facts and humour.

There are many spelling issues, but I don't recall anyone being picked up on the almost universal spelling of 'defense' on here.

Also, my keyboard where I have to press the space bar after using a quote.

Here in Oz, people often indicate right when entering a roundabout even when they are going straight ahead. This winds me up - why do they do this??

Having to work.

Radio commentators (especially in tennis and cricket) who have jolly conversations when something is actually happening. You can here the crowd getting excited and they're chatting about what they have had for breakfast.

Thanks for this thread, I feel better now

Have to agree with the use of the word "absolutely". It just means yes, and is a bigger yes than most people realise when they utter it. They just want to fill four syllables of space because they have nothing else to say. Stop it.

 

Taxi drivers who decide that they don't fancy queuing in the lane to turn right, so stop in the middle lane with their indicators, blocking everyone behind them in their own lane, and annoying everyone who has been in the queue to turn right. I reserve my annoyance for taxi drivers because when other drivers do it, you don't know if they're doing it on purpose - they may just be unfamiliar with the layout of road. Taxi drivers should know better. That really applies to anyone who knowingly jumps a queue.

I have been, known to chide for the use of "defense" from time to time. Usually by explaining that they wouldn't write "fense" so why defense. But as the french word is in fact defense it usually doesn't register nowadays.

Cyclists who ignore the perfectly good cycle path three foot to their left in the misguided belief that they are some new Bradley Wiggins and that cycling on the road is better for the cadence / wattage output etc. No, you are just a fat middle aged git who is in the throws of a mid life crisis.

 

Cyclists who complain that they do not get enough respect from motorists and promptly jump lights and cycling up the inside of cars at speed - and you wonder why you get knocked off?

 

Cyclists who ride two or three abreast. The outside riders should be legally classified as fair game.

Bit of a professional one, which I hope will be shared by anyone who is in the business of selling their expertise.

I was about to post exactly that. In fact, I nominated this phenomenon on C*nts Corner not long ago, one of my rare vitriolic rants. (same username if anyones interested;) ) I'm a peaceful man, but I could cheerfully smash the noses of the growing number of irritating tw*ts who adopt this infuriating americanised posturing.

I'll say this for the Conservatives. Without the dystopian sh!t-holes they seem to create, or the overt favouring of the rich, music wouldn't be as interesting.

This, so much this!

 

Phrases such as "Reach Out", "Moving Forward", or worst of "Diarize" (our head of HR genuinely uses this, makes my skin crawl) should be punishable by death. The world is a better place without them

TFL.

 

People walking down a busy street, (I work just off Oxford Street) that just stop dead and then wonder why they go flying as I clatter into the back of them.

 

Smelly people on the train, that tell me to turn my music down. How about you f off home and take a shower. I can assure you that you are causing more distress to people on this train.

 

People that just walk far too slow.

 

Sales people.

 

God squad preachers.

People that think fighting is a solution to everything.

People who have no desire to know anything about the world beyond Britain's Got Talent and X Factor.

 

Sunglasses that cost a ton of money which then break ridiculously easily.

 

Bouncy castles which get a small hole but which then cannot be repaired by anyone because they are afraid of a lawsuit.

 

Small yappy dogs.

 

That independent record shop by the stadium that never has any customers. How is it still in business?

 

People who never compromise.

 

Overly protective parents

 

Pushy parents

The hills or any other sort of reality type show on ITV2, MTV or similar.

 

TV shows that have a hashtag before and after the show to encourage people to write about it on twitter.

 

Advertising campaigns transparently attempting to go viral (three mobile and that horse thing which my girlfriend is partially responsible for!)

 

Any programmes that are created solely to appeal to a youth audience such as skins that has clearly been devised by a load of suits in a boardroom for profit.

 

Any programme that features an ethnic minority or disabled character (normally a children's TV programme), not for the advancement of the plot but purely to be politically correct.

 

Overly patriotic Americans

 

Americans who are overly cheerful

 

Shop assistants who walk up to you in a shop and ask if you are OK. If I need help I will ask otherwise leave me alone.

Cars in front of you in a traffic jam that let loads of other cars out so you have to wait ten minutes to actually move anywhere.

 

Cars after the football that try to move in front of you by driving in an intimidating manner.

 

Drivers that put their lights on in the middle of the day of at 3PM where visibility is still excellent.

I'm sure there are many others but the one that springs to mind immediately is people who stop and stand still when reaching the end of an escalator. What exactly do they expect the people behind them are going to do??? Start stepping backwards and marking time while the dopey tw ats decide which bloody shop they are going to go to next? :x
