unimportant things that annoy you

The fact that 9/10 times I am on my phone in London a siren goes past. Ok I work next to a hospital and fire station but I rarely hear one when I am not on the phone.

99% of London commuters, so very slow (physically). The ones that fanny about at choke points, entrances, exits or platforms.
 
Football Managers, and occasionaly pundits, chucking in mid-sentence the phrase 'in terms of'

Roy Keane's a prime example of this. In terms of what I'm talking about :D, he must say 'in terms of' every other sentence.
 
"I'm sorry but -" [goes on to to express an opinion different to your own]

What are you sorry for? You're not! You're using some BS phrase which you think takes the sting out of the fact that - oh no! - you're actually disagreeing with someone but instead it makes you look like an habitual bed-wetter who can't state their opinion without dressing it up in passive-aggressive nonsense. You are not a child.

Actually, maybe you are.
 
People who type like a retarded ape, e.g

"OMFG wut was dat, i carnt beleef dat hapend"

and people who use numbers to represent words, like:

1337 or N1ce or N1
 
When someone asks you to do something and then when you have completed it they add additional aspects or change their requirements, then they apologize as they realize that you have to do it all again. Maybe not that unimportant but damn that annoys me.

could summarise it as people that waste my time due to their own incompetence or careless disregard.
 
Living next to the M62 motorway when they're doing works on it (mostly carried out overnight).

Been VERY noisy the last few nights in particular. In fact I can hear some kind of road drill-type thing as we speak.

Oh well, it's been going on since November, so... 3.5 months? Only got until DECEMBER 2013 until it's done (and that's if they keep on schedule!)

Wish I was dead. :(

I got bored after the first few words. Sorry, but can you type it again with less words this time?






:D

People who seem unable to navigate roundabouts and indicate their intentions at the same time.

People who ruin a NSL section of my scenic route home by driving at 45 mph and hammering the brakes on gentle corners. These are usually the same people that sail past the 30 zone signs at 45.

People who MUST overtake me, while I'm doing roughly 70 in the inside lane on an empty motorway, only to cut back in front and slow to 69.995 mph about a foot in front of me.

In fact, other people on the road in general

All of these, but especially the first. Not indicating properly on roundabouts is a pet peeve of mine - particularly those that indicate left to leave the roundabout at their exit BEFORE they've passed the previous exit, thereby making you thing they're taking that one :mad:

Mixing up their/there/they're. Yes I am a Grammar Nazi.

Technically inept people (IT wise) who seem to delight in their ineptitude and show no desire to want to learn how to do anything, even when you offer to show them (repeatedly). They can often be referred to as the 'Frequent Flyers' who call the IT Helpdesk :mad:

People who call the Helpdesk to report a fault with their PC/Printer but haven't had the slightest bit of foresight that we are going to ask for the PC/Printer ID number which is CLEARLY labelled on it in order to start diagnosing the fault, and then have to go back and spend at least two minutes finding it while keeping you holding on the line :mad:

One that finally got to me today while manning the Helpdesk; normal members of staff (i.e. not the Chairman, CEO or Directors) who insist on giving their name as Mr XYZ when asked for it. I'm sorry I didn't realise that you were far more important than me Mr Workshop Operative that I'm not worthy of knowing your first name despite needing it to log a call in our Helpdesk Software. Or is it perhaps the your first name is actually Walter? :D
 
Watching Fox News on Sky in the morning; that programme usually sets me up for a day of anger and resentment, I just love Bill O'reilly and what is their slogan "FOX NEWS - FAIR & BALANCED!". Rupert Murdoch is still raking in the money and these plebs broadcast nonsense, so it's a win win for ignorance.

/Rant over.


Oh crap, Diazepam is wearing off, time to chill and have fun.

use of the word snack and all it entails. why is everyone snacking all the time?

:mad::mad:
 
Over use of the word 'epic', it's even creeping onto TV now.

How everything a company makes or does is a 'solution' these days.

The crow barring of the word 'confidence' into every sentence in sport, but now its crammed in needlessly in everyday products like shampoo 'Wash in confidence'. Im sick of hearing it.

"Can you borrow me a CD?"

People who say solt to indicate they've sold something 'I solt that for a tenner'

I could probably go on for hours :)
