***Official "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears" Thread***

People who talk and don't pay attention during lessons, presentations, and other such events involving one person talking to many.

Groups of people who walk slowly down a corridor, blocking the whole area.

Children who crown round the train door on a platform, and them don't get out of the way when people get off.

People who don't respect authority purely because they think it's 'cool'.

People who try to argue points using false information.

Purveyors of false information.

People who can't take a joke, or any minute affront to their pride, even when their pride deserves a good affronting.

The stupid traffic lights which cause long queues leaving the school carpark.

Listening to the general public talk rubbish when some news person decides it would be great to hear what fat chavs think about events rather than actually reporting what happened or giving any useful insight (especially on the BBC, as it's my families licence fee being wasted).

People who get all wound up about single events, and use them to inform their opinion of the world around them, while ignoring the statistics. (I sometimes do this if I'm not thinking clearly :o).

The videos about multiculturalism we got shown a few years ago to try and make us all into good tolerant citizens. The prime recommendation of the last video? Show how multicultural you are by putting custard on your curry and eating it. Yummm, delicious and multicultural too! :/

Looking at his face makes me angry.

I can kind of explain this, if there are no poo bins nearby then people will leave the bag and pick it up on the way back of their walk (of course out in the sticks, not hanging off someone's front garden rosebush)

Luckily when I'm walking the dog she has the decency to have a crap near a bin :P
 
people who insist on putting their grubby finger marks all over my screen when pointing at something on it.

People whio when reading text off a screen use the mouse pointer like some bumb ass finger...do you read book like that (probably move their mouths when reading too)

M4P files................grrrrrrrrrrrrr

iTunes thinking i have a new computer and not letting my play music i have legitimatley bought, just because i have updated my OS

6 month deployments

Internal briefs that are supposed to let you know what is going on, but end up leaving you baffeld beacuse the brass that write it are playing Buzz Word Bingo and trying to out-do each other with how much Management Gobbledegook speak they can get in.

My fingers not working in conjunction with my brain and typing a load of carp all the time.
 
People who queue across the footpath at cash machines - queue along the wall you muppets.

People who walk through the city with their umbrellas up and refuse to acknowledge that it is going to connect with the people around them.

Smokers - whatever your arguments there are several irrefutable truths - 1. You stink, 2. You're killing yourself, 3. You make excuses for your right to do it and yet fundamentally you're arguing about your right to slowly kill yourself = stupidity, 4. Everywhere you go you make that area stink, walking down the road you stink for at least 10-15m behind you. When you go outside at work for a quick ciggy and come back, you stink out the lift and then you sit at your desk and stink our the area around you.

People who call the ground the floor. It's not in a building, it has no walls - ergo it's the GROUND!

Tourists doing the 'tourist walk' when you're trying to get to work or back home.

Games companies that charge £35-£50 for a game and then complain about piracy and not making enough money, and then complain because people buy them second hand because the can't afford the release price.

People who use the handbrake at traffic lights on even ground.

Um, you should put your handbrake or footbrake on, because if you don't and somebody runs into the back of you...
Also:
People who keep their foot on the brake at traffic lights instead of using the handbrake, especially when it's dark.
 
Chavs

Religion

People who think they know things when they don't. Such as someone telling me all about the Intel Radeon processor in his Iphone, and how it can run computers. :(

People who pull out of a junction knowing full well that they'll slow traffic down considerably as the gap is too small. Only to then accelerate at the worlds slowest pace and then STILL not reach the speed limit.

Seems to be Micra's doing this more often.

I drive a Micra (was a VERY gratefully received 21st birthday present from my parents 3 years ago, before that was driving a clapped-out Citroen AX) - and the majority of Micra drivers irritate me! I like to think I'm a decent one but yes there are some shockingly bad ones!

What annoys me are people who have those really bright, almost blue coloured headlights on their car - are they illegal?
Catch sight of them in my rearview mirror and I think there's an emergency vehicle coming up behind me.

Also songs (most often dance tracks) that have a siren in them - causing me to be looking in all my mirrors and thinking "where on earth is this police car/ambulance?"

People who ring in sick for the tiniest thing such as a slight cold - I swear someone I work with has a day off every week over some mysterious close-to-death illness, is always fine the next day though. And in the meantime we've all had to pick up the slack for them.
 
People who drive with their fog-lights on when the weather is anything but glorious sunshine.

People who refuse to dip their full-beam lights or drive around with them on unaware, blinding everyone in their path.
