1) The mispronunciation of the word nuclear as 'newkiller'. If ever a word was said as its spelt, that's it. Even newsreaders mispronounce it!
2) The misuse of the words effect and affect. Affect being a verb and effect being a noun. Im seeing this almost daily and it has the effect of affecting my mood.
3) The iPad trying to 'correct' my grammar as it sees fit rather than as I want to type it.
People who cough / sneeze way louder than is actually neccesary.
Young men who walk down the street with their hands down their pants. If it falls off you'll know about it.
Wearing your pants halfway down your arse. If you want to pretend you've been to prison wear a bright orange jumpsuit with numbers on it or walk bowlegged.
Politicians who start every answer with 'let me say to you'. Tony Blair is no role model.
Ed Miliband. The nasally, Wallace look alike, ineffective, rabbit in the headlights, union puppet, no policies, deniallist, inneffectual, wet, Blair wannabe. Something annoys me about him but I'm not sure what.
Davina McCall. Humans have a range of expressions and they change after adolescence.
People with two different coloured eyes.
Drivers who've forgotten what it's like to be a pedestrian on a rainy day and don't let people cross the road.
Cars with 'smiley' faces.
Precocious kids. You might be clever but you have a lifetime in which to prove it.
Anyone who thinks a dog licking a human face (especially a child's) is anything other than utterly repugnant. You know where that tongue has been.
Anyone who believes a brand of clothing is better simply by virtue of having a brand logo on it. You are paying to advertise someone else's product for gawds sake.
The unproportionate number of disabled parking spaces at supermarkets.
Conversely anyone who parks in a disabled / parent & child parking space at a supermarket.
People who believe without question any statement that is uttered 'on the telly'
1. People swallowing their food loudly
2. Old people pushing to the front of the queue but moaning if younger people do it.
3. People constantly breathing deeply through their noise like they're bloody Darth Vader.
4. People saying something is crap without ever watching it or listening to it.
5. Saying "hello" to a shop worker and being ignored.
6. Drivers parking their cars completely on the pavement
7. People spelling "you're" as "your."
8. Slow people in supermarkets
9. People talking on their mobile phones at such a volume you know exactly what they're doing that night, at what time and who with.
10. People shutting windows in the summer when it's boiling out.
11. Drivers in traffic jams stopping in front of a road you're trying to pull out of.
12. Babies crying.
13. Synching music to my iPod but it only synching back purchases that I've made from iTunes and not stuff I've burnt from CD.
14. Drainpipe jeans - especially if the person is small and chubby and the jeans just reinforce that.
15. Over-the-top public displays of affection.
16. Counter staff who know you are waiting but decide to have a chat to the person next to them before calling you over.
My soon to be sister in law, she has three children and every single thing we buy for them (for birthdays and christmas) is sent back to us because they only wear clothes from next, or theres a more expensive version of a certain toy that they will have instead, or we bought a green shirt and it should be black, this year we didnt get anything for them and she moaned at us, 8 years we have been buying stuff and for 8 years they have been sent back, what does she expect?!?!
Some people in supermarkets who just randomly stop dead right in front of me, or people blocking the way with their trollies whilst they stand and have an in depth conversation.
The word "minging" no idea why, it just really bugs me.
Not meaning to offend anyone at all but the Australian accent, again I dont even know why.
My mum, everything is brilliant in the world if things are going right for her but as soon as something goes wrong then the entire world will suffer, a minor thing such as her boyfriend being 5 minutes late home from work because of the traffic will become the worlds worst offence and woe betide anyone who doesnt agree with her. If you do or say anything she doesnt like or agree with then she will go into a mood for weeks and totally ignore you, or she will be fine one minute then the next she will be moody with you and when you ask what is wrong she will say "nothing". It feels like people are constantly walking on egg shells around her.
People who seem to be completely surprised when they have to pay for something in a shop, mainly supermarkets and mainly women, who then spend an eternity looking in their cavernous 'hand' bag looking for their purse/wallet
Sat on the bus at 7am in the morning, read a book with my headphones in and someone from the office plonking themselves next to you and start gibbering. I'm sorry, its dark o'clock in the morning and my heads up my behind, leave me be.
Chris Evans on Radio 2. When did he become such a tedious berk?
I thought he'd always been that way!! Seriously though, I'm glad it's not just me. The way he bangs on about his kid in that "My wife is the only woman ever to give birth in the history of the world and we are so much better parents than everyone else because we DO things with him..." What about the kids from his previous marriages? And the way he eulogises over all things military, you can almost see him having a w*nk while he's banging on about "heroes" who actually CHOSE to do what they do. What did they expect when they joined the forces, a jolly time playing pretend war games on Dartmoor?? :mad::mad:
Oh do tell us more! This view is obviously caused by something happening to you or in your presence. What was it?
They are just rude, arrogant, ignorant and surprisingly thick. Yet 2nd year medical students are lovely. Something must happen to them in the intervening years. Their humanity is stripped from them! :eek:

God yeah...he may always have been that way but I notice it now and it makes me angry! Haha.
The pronunciation of the word 'envelope' as onvolope'. So bloody pretentious.
Putting non existent 'ar' sounds in words as in Southern English speak such as barth, arsk and the rest. Again pretentious. Although I quite like the sound of the word 'glarsses', strangely enough.
1. People who put things in the bin with no bin liner, or who don't pull the bin liner up when it has slipped down and just keep piling rubbish on it.
2. People in supermarkets who seem to lose their manners as soon as the step through the door. I will wait to let someone pass and they won't even blink an eye at me, and then someone behind me will just push straight past as if I was standing there for the good of my health.
3. Delia Smith. How dare she instruct me on how to eat spaghetti?
4. Bus drivers who look at me as though I am from outer space if I dare to pay my fare with anything except exact change.
5. Loose strands of wet hair.
6. Chavvy idiots who say that 'reading is well sad.'

Drivers who deliberately speed up to close a gap when they see you trying to move into 'their' lane
Drivers behind you who see you indicating that you want to change lanes and, as soon as a gap appears, pull out into it themselves
People who don't keep their dogs on leads in public places or who always keep the extendable lead at full length
People who talk about themselves all the time
5th Year Medical Students. Utter cocks.
People who drag their feet when walking.
My boss.

With you on the first one but do not understand the second.

7. Cling film.
No it isn't, it's just down to accent.
There are thousands of words that can be pronounced non-phoenetically.
You're right, people parking in these spaces shouldn't annoy you.
