    Unless it actually *is* a new series, I can't stand people who call yesterday's Doctor Who the first episode of a new series. As far as I can tell*, it's the continuation of 2012's series.

    * - Amazon has the DVDs with Jenna-Louise Coleman as the assistant listed as "Series 7 Part 2".

    Keys falling out the pocket in my handbag so I have to put down all the bags of shopping I'm carrying and rummage around for them. Happens all the time! :mad:

    I had a new one today - people who "borrow" stationery from your desk (that you paid for yourself) when you're not at work and then try to claim that you've simply "lost" the stuff.

    Guess who that happened to today.

    I went on one Trivia site about movies to find out one or two top ten lists and it had that much spam connected to it that I just gave up.

    New toilet rolls.... more precisely trying to unravel new toilet rolls and effectively ripping about 3 layers of it :mad:

    Similar thing with tin foil when there is a little sticky label which never ever comes off properly :mad::mad:

    Lazy people in supermarket car parks who leave their used trolley next to their car then drive off because they cant be bothered to push it 20 feet back to where they are kept. :sleep:

    Hypocritical people - :rolleyes:

    Two faced people, ya know. The type of people who act a certain way here (not DS of course, hypothetically) and there, yet act totally different elsewhere - Not in your presence, and so on.

    The type of people who are nice to your 'face' but go other places to have a laugh/slag you off etc...

    People who play games, i guess that's what i'm trying to say. That's what 'annoys' me intensely. :mad:
    Oh well lol :eek:

    That's a different one :)

    But yes, you're right, - or ones that have the 'number 1' at the top of the page, a bit pointless

    The way the postman never pushes the post all the way into the postbox, as they should. He always leaves it sticking out. I was told by the Post Office that this was against the rules, and yet they continually do it. It's a wonderful alert system to thieves that there may be nobody home, especially when it builds up!

    As irritating as it is to me even, we've always called the remote "the buttons" in my household. It must be an abbreviation of "that thing with the buttons on it which allows me to change the channel"! Since I'm so used to saying that, if I say "remote" then it doesn't sound right to me, like an Americanism.

    For all intensive purposes minor bearbugs are a mute point really. Going out on a limp here but I hate that milk advert where cats have disposable thumbs, not funny to me, I prefer self-defecating/stickslap humor.

    Blame claim adverts too, they bother me as I don't like to see people taken for granite.

    Maybe I'm just being a damp squid who's on tender hooks all the time.

    Sorry I couldn't be more Pacific, but you can't make an omelet without breaking some legs.

    Be excellent to each other, remember...."It takes two to tangle!"

    Sticky labels that don't peel off properly so half the label is left behind on the product.

    Incorrect apostrophizing.

    The usual loose/there/of "typos".

    I really don't believe that everyone who can't be bothered typing properly has an educational disorder for which I should feel sympathy.

    Kids who are too old to be in buggies.

    Your child looks ridiculous if they're over 3 all squeezed into the buggy seat.

    WALK your children!

    I get irritated each time that bloke on MasterChef says "Right, then. Off you go".

    The phrase "Off you go" irritates me, ever since I was a kid. I don't know why I loathe that phrase so much.
