jeff oakley Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 So following on from my Health food thread, I thought I might start another of things that really annoy me. Hold Music, on the phone the other day after negotiating the self service menu, put on hold and the music was so loud it was distorting. Being asked if they can help anymore at the end of the call, when you have dealt with the issue you have. Can they come and decorate is met with lots of turnings of scripts in India. Checkout operators who want to have long conversations with people in front over rubbish instead of getting a move on. Anything to do with global warming Vegans who want to convert me The Kardashians and in fact any other reality stars young men who walk around with trousers around their knees, funny as they walk like a penguin, but annoying. Over to you lot now lets get a good long grumpy list 2 Quote
Steve (sdh2903) Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Supermarkets in petrol stations. Massive queues waiting for Doris to get half her weekly shop done . Guess where I got stuck for half an hour this morning...... Council tax. Pot holes. Rude children who don't know any better. People who can't just get on a plane and sit the f*** down. Middle Lane hoggers Arnold Clark dealerships. Yes all of them. 1 Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Litter dropers. Dog poo in the street. Smokers who think anything to do with cigarettes isnt litter. Quote
jeff oakley Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 To add to my list, Snowflake, Jesus, everyone is using it to describe anyone they want to annoy. Which brings me on to buzz words in general, Stakeholders, Remoaners, Brexiteers, and any other in vogue terms that only marketing and media types would find worth doing. Quote
corsechris Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Slightly less global, but only slightly...litterbugs, particulalry the mobile variety who persist in flinging bags of empty fast-food wrappers and empty cider cans out the window wherever they happen to be. When my superpower finally kicks in I'm hoping it'll give me the ability to return every piece of litter to the perpetrators, where it'll get inserted in a suitable bodily orifice of said perps.

Arm Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Brummies who get on the M6 for 1 junction and travel at 45 mph. People who brake, start to turn then indicate. 2 Quote
tolf Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 nunneys in BMW's who think that the orange indicators are just a fancy gadget and not to be used when turning Traffic wardens- or Parking Hitler's as the Mrs calls them Cold calls about an accident I have not had but could still claim for Quote
Stuart Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 People who drive at 40mph in both a 60 limit and a 30 limit. How come they never get a speeding ticket? I do 35 in a 30 limit and there's a bloke with a camera Quote
mikef Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Television newsreaders who "Uum" and "Aah" throughout their piece. They are meant to be professional communicators Those same newsreaders who do not know the difference between "bought" and "brought" Quote

Stuart Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 People who flash their headlights at me after I've overtaken them perfectly safely within the speed limit. Tailgaters. The phrase 'I would of......' 1 Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 People who can't quite finish a simple job, like shutting a door or drawer almost but not quite shut, or taking a dirty plate or cup to the kitchen but not putting them in the dishwasher. Pedestrians who go to a pelican crossing and press the button to assist them when there's no traffic to stop, cross before the lights change, and then you drive up and are made to stop for a crossing when there's no one there. I'll echo Slasher on cigarette butts - drives me mad, they have no idea that a filtered cigarette butt takes up to 12 years to biodegrade. Parents who have raised badly behaved brats, and yes it is all the fault of the parents. The phrase in every single detective / crime story uttered near the end of "but what I don't understand is...", which means either the reader / viewer is too thick to have understood, or the writer was so crap that they needed it to untangle their own mess. (Watch for this phrase and you'll see it everywhere.) Reality shows - all of them. Drivers who lose all control over their lane discipline once on a roundabout. Misogynists, and I've known a few, the biggest idiots on the planet. Why hurt something you love and care about? It's like keying your own car. People who beat and abuse children or animals - the reason I'd never be a copper or a vet, because I'd end up killing someone. Quote
