People that get on trains and open windows when it is absolutely freezing and everyone else is sitting there wrapped up in coats and scarves shivering! !!
Oh, yes. Awful people. I remember many a train journey when younger freezing to death because of selfish gits doing this. Weirdos.
The person in our office who uses the word 'obviously' about every 4 seconds.
Overused words or words when they aren't needed annoy me a lot. If someone's sentences are made up of little other than "obviously", "basically", "literally", "d'you know what I mean?" and the dreaded "at the end of the day", I assume they might well be a guest on Jeremy Kyle in the future.
Why do people think that the proximity of a cashpoint negates all parking laws and logic?
At the bottom of my street there's a mashpoint, which is nice, it's on the side of the bank just off the main road. The side of the road the cashpoint is on is double yellow lined. But nobody ever obeys them. I very narrowly missed ploughing into the back of a car parked there, just round the corner enough for me not to see it before turning in. Even if it hadn't been double yellow it would have been a dangerous parking place. They'd only left barely enough room to squeeze past as the other side of the road was parked on.
This is really annoying.
Or they do pull away but do it just slow enough to make sure they get on the roundabout but you're stuck because there's now traffic coming.:mad:
Or they are unable to change from first to second gear without losing all forward momentum leaving you stuck halfway out of a junction with a sodding great big lorry charging towards you.
Smokers who expect me ( a non-smoker) to have a lighter or matches for their use and then get upset because I don't have one. Here's a tip: when you buy your ****, buy something to light them with.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to misplace a lighter, I've not smoked for 4 weeks now, but when I did, I'd often forget to pick it up or put it down and forget it. Then when you don't need a lighter, literally 13 turn up in your pocket from nowhere.

On the subject of roundabouts and lorries, when you're moving either across or round a roundabout and a lorry decides to pull out meaning you have to slow right down to a crawl or stop to allow its backend to clear the exit you want to come off the roundabout. :mad:
Bus drivers that just pull out from junctions or bus stops even when they can see there's traffic coming but they just expect you to brake and let them out instead of waiting for a gap. :mad:

I'm sure i've said this one before as well, but people who comment on threads where someone asks if this or that is worth the price, or whether or not they should get this gadget or that something.
The reply usually goes "well why not spend a bit more and get ..".
It really bugs me. What if that person hasn't got more to spent?. What good is telling them to spend more money going to achieve? grrrrr :mad:
I hate it when you sign up to a woman on one of those dating sites in Russia/Eastern Europe. You always end up paying for them to come over, and you get married etc. Then a week or month later they divorce you! Every bloody time! So frustrating.
When job advertisements have spelling errors. I stop looking at the ad as soon as I see one. Unforgivable IMO.
However, what really boils my urine, is when I come across spelling errors in a book. A flippin' published book. I thought all books were proofread these days :S It worries me that a proofreader can't spot errors that I can when I'm half asleep.

This irritates me so so much! I'm glad it's not just me.
Mean-spirited drivers who won't let you in even when you really need to be in a filter lane and you're indicating and perfectly prepared to show your gratitude for the other driver's courtesy with a friendly wave. Oh but noooo they would rather ignore all of this and ensure that you are TRAPPED and forced to proceed along the WRONG road. Stop being so flaming petty you silly shits!
EDIT: this was not an attempt to queue jump. I had inadvertently joined the wrong lane.
How are people supposed to know that it was a mistake?
In any case, you're in the wrong. You weren't paying enough attention to get into the filter lane in time, so you then hold up everybody in your lane while you try to jump the queue in the other one. If people don't let you in (and why should they when they've been queuing for ages?) carry on and turn around whenever possible.
Another vote for noisy eaters/slurpy drinkers, i was doing a job in someones house the other day and the guy made some tea ( which was nice) but then he proceeded to drink (well actually he didn't drink it, he SUCKED it out of the mug) and swallowed with multiple gulps so loud that flocks of birds for miles around took flight, fearing that the apocalypse had finally arrived.
People who big themselves up. I work with quite a lot of people like this. They tell wildly exaggerated or just completely made up stories starring themselves as this crazy/hilarious person who bears no resemblance to the person we work with. They also say, "HAHA, WHAT AM I LIKE?! " a lot.
People who work in offices and big themselves up: everything they do is so important and a matter of life and death - try being a nurse where you're dealing with actual life and death situations for so so wages.
People who stop their car outside someone's house because they're picking up or dropping someone off but they don't bother to pull to one side.
They just stay in the middle of the road blocking it for other traffic.

Bad table manners in general are another thing which annoy me intensely. Have some self respect!

Even worse are people chewing food with their mouths open, why does anyone else need to see or hear their food going round in their mouth like a tumble dryer? Slop slop, nom nom, STOP IT!!!

I dont mind in the summer but when it is snowing and minus 5 I do get slightly annoyed lol

In forum life: posters that get into a debate, realise that they've forgotten the point they are arguing and then turn it personal or huff off.
