    When you get on the bus and it turns out tgat the driver is a waiter (because they're sitting there for up to five minutes). And it always seems to happen on the way home, never on the way to work.

    People on social media sites who post to a friend that they've sent them a private message, what is the point of that, they'll see in their notifications they have a PM.

    Photo's on the Daily Mail of people who look outraged with one trivial thing or another - most of the time these are people who brought whatever it was on to themselves and have no real reason to look hard done by.....

    Will inbox u hun, dont wanna say on here xxxx

    :p

    It's a) attention-seeking on both their parts, trying to pique others' curiosity as to the nature of the conversation and b) a way for the recipient to appear popular, showing other friends that she (they're usually female!) is getting messages.

    I complain a lot about the buses but I do support them doing this. The only reason they should be waiting around is because they are a head of time on their route. Drivers are supposed to wait at a bus stop until it is the timetabled time to leave. It's much better than missing the bus because it went by 5-10 minutes early.

    However if the driver isn't a head of time and just sitting there for no reason then yes that is a pain in the derrière. I have to take 2 buses to get to work and I should get to my second bus stop about 5-10 minutes before the bus is due. One day last year the driver sat at a stop for about 15 minutes, he was dead on time before this so no need to stop at all. Needless to say I missed my second bus and was late for work >:(

    One thing that is really annoying me recently is the phrase "yeah, no". Mostly because I keep finding myself saying it >:( It's such a stupid phrase.

    Something I saw on a thread this morning - where the OP posts about something that annoys them and some knob comes along and posts a link to another thread which the same poster started weeks or months ago about something else that irritated them and puts a snarky comment along the lines of 'You're very easily annoyed, aren't you'?
    You see that a lot on here and it's so stupid. It's a f*cking discussion forum.

    Just remembered the time the guy made fries for me after this conversation and I left them on the counter he yelled "you left your fries" "I didn't order fries" "You can have them anyway" "I don't want fries" "I wont charge you" "I don't want fries"

    This was when I was being a tad healthy and not eating chips. I'm cured of that idiocy now and I'd kill for free chips.

    Oh yeah, major annoyance - people quoting themselves on forums.

    People describing food as 'moorish'. Aargh!

    Edit: unless it is actually Moorish cuisine, of course! :D

    I'm not sure if I've posted this - but kids who are too big and old that are still being pushed around in buggies. I saw a boy today who must've been about 5 squashed into one. How bloody lazy is that?

    It was the mis-spelling I was annoyed about! 'Moorish' is something quite different.

    People who stand at the bus stop yapping to someone they know, they both get on the bus but proceed to sit apart and then yell their conversation to each other even though there's plenty of double seats. WHY??? :confused: :mad:

    That auction guy on that programme 'storage hunters'.
    Why does he have to do that annoying noise when he's saying back people's bids. Sounds like a bad stutter.

    My colleague speaks very quietly at times, and when you say 'Pardon?' he just repeats one word back to you, and you have to say 'What about (that word)?' It happens every bleeding time!!

    My daughter and her friends have a new irritating habit: 'Uh huh' as a yes, 'Uh nuh' as a no and 'Uh mabs' for a maybe. Example:

    "Would you like a lift to Sam's?"
    "Uh nuh."
    "Pardon?"
    "No, thank you."
    "Not going out tonight, then?"
    "Uh mabs."
    "Did you say 'maybe'?"
    "Uh huh."

    They're here and all I hear from their conversations in another room: uh huh, uh nuh, uh mabs, uh nuh, uh huh, uh huh, uh nuh, uh nuh, uh huh, huh huh, uh mabs, uh nuh, uh nuh, uh huh, huh huh, uh nuh, uh nuh, uh huh, uh nuh, uh mabs, uh nuh, uh huh, huh huh, uh nuh, uh huh, uh mabs, uh huh, uh nuh, uh nuh, uh huh, huh huh, uh nuh, uh nuh, uh huh
