    mobility scooters..

    they are everywhere..Some 80 year old man had an accident near me last week..he was on the road..whether he was crossing onto the pavement bit, a car hit him ..Holded up the traffic as road was closed, was nearly late for work..These scooters take over on pavements as i love walking with ipod on, i cant hear them and they get in my way basically lol

    You're right, how dare the elderly go out of the house. The nerve of them!
    I've got another supermarket checkout divider annoyance.

    When I've finished loading my shopping onto the belt, I always place the divider leaving about an inch gap between the divider and the last of my shopping.

    I HATE it when the person behind then goes and moves it so they can shove their shopping right up against mine. They have no right doing this. It's not like they are going to get through any quicker. I deliberately dawdle and take my time when someone does this. I don't know why this annoys me so much, but it does.

    You must be the life and soul of the action at a dinner party!

    "Friendzoned" is an actual word??

    THAT is a trivial thing that annoys me more than intensely...

    I hate the term 'friend zone'. It devalues friendship between men and women.

    The way the seat belt in my car gradually gets tighter and tighter over time and I have to constantly pull it loose again - like a bloody boa constricter in slow motion.

    Unbelievably trivial and stupid but I get annoyed when a shop uses a pound and pence sign on an item. The pound sign means that you don't need a pence sign! However I do think it reflects worse on me that I'm bothered by something like that than on the shop itself.

    People who open doors with their feet instead of using their hands to push it open. Do they do that at home? Drives me nuts.

    People who stand and chat in shop doorways.

    When children run right into you/your path in public places, nearly tripping you over and the parent either totally ignores it, glares at you for nearly tripping over their child, or smiles indulgently at their child's 'cute' behaviour. Disclaimer - Its not the children that annoy me, its the parents.

    Don't be so selfish - you may need one in the future and some younger person may think the same about you!

    When you run out of toilet paper after a shit and have to do the 'shuffle' to the kitchen for some kitchen roll...but then Doh! You realise the blinds are open so are then faced with a terrible dilemma - do you pull up your cacks to a shitty crack or crawl under the window. And after all that, you've run out of kitchen roll as well. Now that is annoying!!!

    (and yes, this just happened to me :D:o)

    Before you all ask - I had to use last weeks free newspaper! Only bloody thing they're good for!!

    Sorry - I can't stop laughing at this - it's so funny!

    All the Kickstarter micro-Wallet projects. There is about 75 of them, all having VERY similar designs, all akin to putting a rubber band around your cards. Why so many or 'em are getting complete funding is beyond me.

    An advert on telly just now which started, "You've probably heard that Alpecin caffeine shampoo is big in Germany..." Well, of COURSE I chuffing haven't, as well you know. Like virtually everyone else unfortunate enough to be watching this advert for the first time, I hadn't even heard of the blasted stuff.
    Until seeing the advert for the second time...

    People walking along with their heads down, so engrossed in texting on their mobile phone, that they almost walk into me on the pavement :mad:

    Also people who say some item is 75 "p" instead of the word pence, its just as easy to say the correct word PENCE !!, P is a pea !

    TOP TIP ....Kitchen roll down the toilet is not recommended, It doesnt break up and will eventually cause a blockage , a good reason to keep the toilet papper stocks high ;)

    "One pence", grr.

    I like to wheel out "sixpence" (as one word), "tuppence" and, if I'm feeling particularly codgery, "thrupence". :)

    Sounds like a scalp condition run riot. "Hmm, yes, Mr Flufan; you've got chuffing alpecin. Rub this in twice a day."

    People who moan about never getting the chance to relax when at weekends they choose to get up at 6am for no reason when they might as well stay in bed longer.

    People who on busy trains who tap my shoulder and tell me to stand up so an old lady can sit down, especially when they are sitting down themselves! I mean, how do they know I have no health problem that means I need to sit down? If someone wants my seat I will gladly give it to them... if they ask me for it themself.
