unimportant things that annoy you

The use of the word 'Movie' for a film, it's American sloppy talk dating back to 1900 for' moving picture show' later followed by 'talkie' when films had sound.
Those words were never used in the UK until the advent of US TV shows such as 'Happy days' were shown on TV over here.
 
Games not running at 60fps.

Badly engineered anything.

Bible Bashers

Mouthy women

Men who try and be too cool

Movies ;) That try and be too cool.
 
Anyone in a supermarket who isn't me. I know what I'm here for, so can you move your trolley from the middle of the aisle while you browse the selection of weight watchers ready meals you know you won't buy tubby. By the way your nine kids just knocked over that display of crunchy nut cornflakes.
 
Dirty gypsies *awaits fine*
Female drivers
Town/city driving
Consistently red traffic lights
Women who indicate during a manoeuvre, not before!
When I cant fix something on my car and end up paying some git £40p/h because he has a workshop
Fat, butch, gobby women who think they dominate the high street
Unintelligent people on my facebook
 
Many of the things in this thread PLUS:

People who overuse the word 'starving' as if they're close to death. At my old work I was too lazy to make lunch and too tight to spend £4 buying one from the canteen, so I'd regularly go the whole day without eating, having had breakfast and an evening meal ahead of me. All my workmates would spend the day snacking at their desks, but come 11:50 it would be:
"Eeeh I've not eaten for 4 hours, I'm absolutely STARVING"
"I don't know how you go without eating a whole day, my blood sugars are so low I must be STARVING!"

Makes me want to wring their necks. You can go at least 3 weeks without food if you're properly hydrated. 8 hours won't kill you!

TV shows? surely you mean programmes? :D
 
Tabloids that use the word smitten.

Late teen/early 20 year olds who have been brought up with zero independence still getting dragged around the shops by their stuck up, irate mothers.

The network team was working on the ASA Today and kept crashing it. I don't even know how they managed it but I'm glad it was a Friday afternoon otherwise it would have impacted on my work.
