Poor people grind your gears? How can someone with no money annoy you?

Unless you mean beggars? But even them aren't exactly infecting your life or anything.

Nah you get it all wrong, every word they utter in their common voice is like a nine inch nail being slowly hammered into my head
 
People that don't indicate at roundabouts

People that litter

People that don't know the difference between you're and your- YOUR ALL SO DUMB!!

Hehe sounds mad when I write it down lol.

Her leaving the top off the toothpaste and the tube lying in the sink near the plug-hole also really gets up my nose too.

don't worry the men in white coats have a solution to your mad 1 teaspoon to sugar your tea craziness.

Nothing my wife does annoys me she is the best.

However, I constantly seem to annoy her. :(
 
Oooh ooh ooh I've got a good one:

Pictures of lads (who usually aren't anything to look at themselves) who have their photo taken with two or more ugly girls hanging off their arms, thinking they are the dons :p (We all know people that have done it!)
 
In no particular order:

Adverts (radio/tv).
Spam(phone/e-mail).
Rain.
Bat**** crazy women.
Fuel Prices.
Noisey computers.
The record industry as well as the RIAA.
People who overtake too closely when you are cycling.
Bland music especially cheesy trance.
Poor quality cheaply made TV programs.
Wasps.
God I sound old. :o

People at work who seemingly don't know how to use a toilet or wash their hands.
I forgot that one, but yes... So annoying when someone has peed all over the seat... Cretins.

More pronounced on some cars than others, for example my Clio was fine but my Fiesta needs to be at a complete stop before I engage reverse.
No synchromesh on forward or reverse on mine so whatever you do you're in a crunch crunch situation :D

Wait there's more...

Yes poor people annoy me too. Especially the scum who seem to be burdening the likes of Kings College hospital with their drug/drink/fighting/degenerate problems. I see loads of them moping round the hospital making a nuisance of themselves. No wonder the NHS has trouble meeting targets.

Tailgaters in 30mph zones when I'm already doing more than 30 myself.

Infuriatingly rubbish computer systems.

Bad design. Especially when I come from a design background and have seen the design process in industry. Maybe it's because I worked for a good design company but it annoys me when I see things that make me instantly think "who ever in their right mind thought that was a good idea?" followed by the more relevant "who then signed this off as acceptable?" as everything usually ghas to get approval from someone else. Next time you pick something up that you think is crap don't forget someone designed it that badly and then someone else signed that off as acceptable.

Council town planning. Same problem as above but usually worse. There must be some absolute brainless goons working in town planning. You see things in road layouts, traffic calming, wasted money on pointless easily vandalised street furniture that make you shake your head in disbeleif sometimes and have to question how these people who make the decisions get employed :rolleyes:

Thanks Tom - you know what really grinds my gears? - periods - how can you trust something that bleeds for a week and doesnt die?

And thats what grinds my gears - back to you Tom
 
- Speed cameras and the general persecution of motorists by the government.

- The good old British weather preventing me from flying.

Those are the only 2 things. Seriously. With everything else I'm as cool as a cucumber.
