    Coins being placed on top of the receipt when you go through the till at shops/supermarket. It makes putting your change away much more tricky. I almost always end up dropping something this way and I wish cashiers would cut it out.

    At the moment, the endless requests for money at work for various things.

    No thank you, I don't want to give money for your sponsored arse wipe, and I will give to charity if and when I want to, not when somebody else decides I should. Just the other week there was a charity tea and cake sale at work. It was advertised, nobody was all that interested so it was decided that we had to go down a few people at a time to support this. I grudgingly went but it seemed like an imposed tax to me.

    I go to work to make money, not spend it.

    Tail-gaters. This will NOT make me go any faster and, if anything, I'll go a little bit slower just to annoy you.

    Apart from annoying the tail-gater, I think that it's important to slow down anyhow to a speed commensurate with the appropriate stopping distance so that if you do have to stop suddenly, there is less chance of a shunt.

    Of course, the clot behind you can't understand that.

    When you hand a till operator at Tesco your clubcard and she then slaps it down on the bagging surface, making you have to fumble with your fat fingers to pick it up.

    Always want to cave their skull in with a tin of beans when they do that - how rude!

    People paying with any note larger than a fiver, on the bus.

    People playing music/ringtones at volume, on the bus.

    People dumping rubbish, especially used chewing gum, on the bus.

    iTunes is very annoying

    After each update (which hardly ever seem to change anything) it insists in treating me like a theif, "you have not made any purchases from thsi device so you have to answer all your security questions and re-validate your credit card" - erm, no i've bought loads of stuff from here what the heck you talking about?

    Oh, talking of security questions, I find it very annoying that some log-ins I use insist using "name of your first girlfriend/boyfriend" as a question. And there's no way of me saying I never had one, so I have to make up a name and then I forget what I made up so I have to write it down and so it's not secure anymore is it?

    people who stand in the aisle near the front of the bus when there's loads of seats , you have to then squeeze passed them while they're ignorantly texting their moronic mates .

    people who in their rush to get on the bus block the doorway , how do they think they're going to get on if they don't let the passengers off first !

    Grrr! idiots !!

    Discourteous drivers on my daily commute who think that it's cool to try and squeeze in at the last minute on the road which has three lanes down to one because of roadworks .

    This reminds me of idiots on the Tube who don't move down the carriage and stand right next to the doors blocking them for other passengers trying to get on or off. I want to kick them!

    YouTube persuading you to enter your real name. I don't wish to use my real name but will it let you out of the menu process? No. I have to go back to the YouTube bookmark to reload the page. Grrr.

    Pedestrians who step out into the road forcing cars to slow down or stop.

    On a crossing this would be fine, but I see this happening on any bit of road. Even when they have seen a car they saunter across the road as if they have all the time in the world.

    The opposite to this happened to me today as I was leaving work. A woman was standing, not at, but on the first bit of the zebra crossing in our car park so, of course, I stopped my car. She stood looking in the oppposite direction for a good 2 minutes (the car park is one-way, so no traffic likely to come from that direction) then turned to look towards me and still did not move until I motioned her to do so. Did she not realise that a car stationary at the crossing inicates the driver is waiting for her to cross?

    I have no choice, but to get a bus. My office is situated right in the centre of town. There is no parking, and it's too far to walk.

    And I hate cycling more than getting the bus. I'm not wearing one of those ridiculous helmets for anyone.

    It really really annoys me! I wonder if the people who spell it like that think it's some kind of "polite" way of spelling it. :sleep:

    Natalie Bennett.

    "There is a right wing media in this country."

    I lol'd at that one. And when I say "lol" I actually did laugh out loud. Not like the 95% of time people write "lol", they haven't actually laughed at all.

    I reckon Weetaflakes (do they still make them?) are just the swept-up crumbs from the floor of the Weetabix factory.
