unimportant things that annoy you

I don't think I have ever met a girl who can have reasoned arguments based on logic or fact.

Most people don't think that dyslexia has any real bearing on intelligence I think. Most people are not that smart so when someone with dyslexia uses it as an excuse, some people do equate the two.

True on both points.
It's mostly the jokes about dyslexics using the wrong word or getting the letters in the wrong order that irritate me, sure i cant spell very well and my grammar is not great, but i can easily make a sentence make sense, it's just things would be spelt phonetically.

End of rant!
 
I absolutely loath when people, especially news reporters, say "literally" when they in fact mean "figuratively" or any incorrect use of "literally".

1) Bus drivers who pull out without checking their mirrors.

2) Citrix (could an application that lets you work from any internet connected device be unannoying?) plus its as buggy as hell if not setup right.

3) People who say that they know everything about Microsoft Excel.... oh really, I have been using it for 10 years and know about 90% of all the features build into the application, then when you ask have you created a macro they look at you funny.

Rant over ...... for now.

You do know that if a bus is indicating to the right you are meant to slow and let them pull out right?

As has been mentioned allready :

1. People that dont indicate really hacks me off in fact if I'm on the main carriageway and someone isnt indicating on a slip road I will NOT move out for them even if I can.

I don't indicate on a slip road joining a motorway/dual carriageway, you know why, there is no other way that I can go, the slip road merges in to the main carriageway! Do you think that if I didn't indicate you wouldn't know where I am going?! I indicate for everything else but a slip road with NO other possible direction I fail to see the point. It annoys me when people DO indicate on a slip road :p


On the subject of slip roads I really really detest the drivers that sit at 40mph on a slip road and you are stuck behind them, do they not realise that they need to get to 60/70mph as that's the speed of traffic, it's more dangerous for them to do 40-50mph, especially as I have to floor it and overtake them in to the middle lane. Usually these are the people that I've nicely let out of a side road minutes before.


Drivers that do 30 in a 40 etc when there are lots of signs showing the speed limit on that road, then they speed up to 40 in a 30 zone.


People on forums signing their posts, the signature section on the forums probably should give you a clue as to where you should put your name :)


I can live with people posting "+1" but I really hate when people reply with "Agreed".
 
When having a discussion with someone who is so obviously in the wrong yet they use the term "no what i'm saying is.." that line drives me mad. I get what you're saying but you're WRONG!
 
Here's one thing that really bugs me. When you show someone how to do something, they say they've got it, and then they say they've forgotten every time that task comes up again. How can you of forgotten?? I've shown you at least 20 times! Grr
 
You should still indicate on a sliproad out of courtesy really. Also there are people who will only take notice when a light is flashing and then move out to give you way on the lane to merge.

My dad gets so annoyed by this when we're in England. I've never driven on a motorway yet I know you should join at the same speed as the traffic on the motorway :p.

Should have used your cat like reactions and let the 2nd door slam into him!
 
The increasingly prevelant use of the phrase "... you know..." in day to day speech.

Most of the time my brain tends to ignore it but if I manage to pick up on it, I'm subsequently amazed and disappointed at how much it is actually used. People being interviewed on TV tend to be the worst offenders.

How the media use the word "troll".

How internet nerds use the word "troll", too.

How everyone has a medical/psychological problem. Nothing is anyone's fault anymore.

People's apathy toward their surroundings. Why does anyone think littering is in any way OK? Don't get me started on vandalism.

Search engines other than Google - you're all doing it wrong!

Fat people. Sorry, those with slow metabolisms (see point 2)

Wandering shoppers. They stop dead right in front of you like they never saw a Holland & Barrett before. They are often the above folk, challenged by their metabolisms.

Lodgement slips. I don't work for the bank, why should I fill lodgement slips in? I always just hand over my card and tell the cashier what's there in cash and cheques. Always. I don't tell my clients to do half my job for me

The only thing saying you're supposed to let them pull out is a sticker on the back of the bus. I think I'l get a sticker that says "Let me out whenever I stick the indicator on and pull straight out" and see if anyone does it. Not once has a Bus Driver ever shown me any courtesy on a road.

+1

also an unimportant annoyance of mine is the use of +1.....don't be so damn lazy, type that you agree with the previous post, or dont post anything.....

oh and the use of '.......' does anyone actually know what adding '.....' at the start/end of a message/forum post means

and finally i really really hate the use of /, type the damn word 'or'.....jesus is it any wonder obesity is on the rise, we can't even be bothered typing words out anymore......
