Those little things that annoy you.

Have to concur with the above - the propensity of morons to prefix/suffix "lol" during sentences. What is with these people? Do they laugh uncontrollably during any form of social interaction? I suspect a prompt sectioning would result from cackling incessantly during every verbal exchange.

The phrase "Carbon Footprint"... It just annoys me so much. It's not as if I'm completely sceptical of global warming (the greenhouse effect), but annoying buzzwords just aggravate people more than foster positivity and change.

Unsavoury individuals (usually poorly disciplined children or unemployed, scumbag adults) who insist on riding their (probably stolen) bikes on the footpath in built up areas - usually directly at you and at extreme velocity. I've been so tempted to grab a piece of wood and shove it in to the spokes of their wheel, but I'd probably be charged for murder or something.

Bad grammar on television. Not usually an issue as I tend not to watch soaps/Big Brother.

The fact my UK passport has Welsh writing on it. Get stuffed! It's not even one of the UK's official languages.

The obvious one would the tendency of self important tools/mouthy women to broadcast their lives via mobile telephone on public transport. How can the government expect us to give up our cars when one has that to contend with?!

Chewing/talking with mouths open. It sickens me. Come to think of it, any 'noise' a person makes that I eventually notice. Breathing, sniffing, grunting, clicking... Anything. As soon as I notice it; that's it... The aggravation is total.

I think you must be my twin:

I had a long rant about the term 'carbon footprint' yesterday, almost got knocked down by about 5 bikes whilst walking along the road yesterday and get so angry I could kill from simply hearing someone else making some kind of 'noise' like clicking, sniffing etc.

These are just a few of my many pet hates!
 
One thing that annoys me is when people are seemingly very "chatty". It is annoying when 50% of words used are colloquialisms, or exclamations which vary in annoyance, from simply very annoying, to those which would (and probably do) increase the murder rate (or more likely the murder-thought rate) in the immediate vicinity. :p

I just dislike it when people talk in a particular manner (it is hard to describe), to me it seems very unatural for a person, and also it simply annoys me extraordinarily.

A lot of the time I get annoyed if I am forced into certain situation (generally those in which I must be around people [and have to communicate with them closely] for a long time). I don't mind if I must talk to people (face-to-face) for a small time each day, but if it is several hours then it becomes draining and annoying.

Some people annoy me if they are rude. I was on a course recently, and I was talking to this guy about Linux and computers in general. There were two girls opposite who were laughing at the guy I was talking to for his hobby of computers (this is a hobby I share, and thus the offence is shared [assuming some was taken by this guy]). Eventually one of them told the guy to "shut up", which annoyed me as I was interested in hearing the opinion of another person who uses Ubuntu on the recent developments, and I felt I could learn from this person as he was a much more experienced user of Ubuntu than I. People who do these sorts of things annoy me to a degree as it is rude (although one has to assume that they will suffer the negative effects of this as one can see how a member of the public would see this behaviour as bad).

Incorrect usage of the English language increasingly annoys me (as I age [it seems]). I am increasingly aware of the small errors that people make when in conversation, and the temptation to point out these errors is quite large, although people seem less than happy to receive corrections to their speech. I dislike it when people say "amount" instead of "number", it sounds awkward, and rather careless. (I don't speak in a manner which I would consider to be perfect, but I try to reserve speech for times when I have something useful to say [I suppose I would fail if I were bored and had no computer, in which case I would generally talk about computers]).

Poor presentation (in terms of publication) annoys me. People seem to thing that it is fine to show a presentation that is full of "Word Art" and has some form of crazy background. This sort of thing is simply an abomination, and it seems (to me) that a lot of this sort of presentation is aimed at younger people, and thus seems to strengthen the idea that it is fine to use unprofessional design when presenting data/information.

When one is asked the same question many times it can be annoying (or so I experience). This happens sometimes to me, and I dislike it because I have to repeat the answer many times (the worst times are when the people were there when one has answered the question before, and seemingly have neither recollection of the answer, nor question). I get frustrated by this and then people think I am rude as I say the answer very fast as I see it as an annoyance.

There are many annoyances really.

Sorry, I must have been half asleep when I invaded Wales as I have absolutely no recollection of the event. :p
 
i got a few of these:

people at cash machines who put their card in, withdraw cash or whatever they're doing, take the card out then ........ put it back in again and have another go! ... and another .... and another!? why? Even if you have that many transactions to complete, why keep ejecting the card.

People who say 1-2-free-4

People on supermarket carparks who walk right infront of your car causing you to stop when they are 20ft from the marked crossing
 
People who walk slowly

The Wind

Children

Threads (of new demos etc) which are 99% "downloading @ 1Mb/sec" - really annoys me scrolling through all that crap to get to something useful like a link

John Thompson

That drives me nuts. Also, bar staff that are unable to remember which person is next to be served or those that serve people they know that have just walked in despite the fact that you have been waiting to be served for quarter of an hour. :mad:

You've obviously never worked in a bar. Also, bar staff make a pittance, so give them a break. I bet you never tip either.
 
This annoys me:

Bar staff who sit with their thumbs in their ass while I'm sitting at a table surrounded by my empty glasses.

So, when you go to the bar for another drink you don't think to take your empty with you?
Pfft, I would leave your table until you left too.

Anyway, one of my pet hates is ***** that think it is a good idea to walk through town with a bloody fishing/golf umbrella :mad:
AND its almost invariably the smallest people
 
oh, and emails about cheap Viagra pills :mad: :mad: :mad:

and the foreigners (99% of the time old indian men/women) that come into the shop I work in (Millets) and don't speak a word of english! I once said to one of them "I'm sorry but I can't sell you anything because I don't understand you" and walked off... I could see the smirks on the other customers' faces :D
 
This...

Thought it was my ex gf Laura as she had the same name but instead of not talking i thought i would make conversation until she replied with that. Blocked + deleted thank you very much.


I laugh at the rules of my mates house. One of them being using the spoon thats in the sugar tin but not stiring the tea/coffee. I dont have a problem with lumps as they dissolve in the drink anyway :confused:

Oh and to take the bar argument from another angle. When you come out from the back warehouse and you get a random person shouting for help when you know for fact there was 3 people standing already. They draw daggers when you say you will be with them as soon as you deal with the people who were already waiting. :rolleyes:

Oh and while out shopping,these knew bloody sideways Qs...join the Q BEHIND me where other people are not to my right!!! My dad let him infront as he only had a tin of paint and had the cash out but ffs....
