People on FB starting messages of appreciation or congratulations with "I would like to" .... I've seen it several times this past week and its made me dislike it.

People who take ages when getting on and off the bus. Have your money ready dammit we can see you stood there while were driving towards the stop!!

Supermarkets that pile up tins of beans in the aisles.

The fact that all the major supermarkets seem to have stopped doing their budget brand chocolate digestives in the dark chocolate version. Don't they realise that not everyone likes milk chocolate and some of us prefer the plain chocolate variety?

Softer Butter/spreadable butter etc - I buy M&S Softer Butter as its the only one that uses no oil - but when you take it out the fridge, it does NOT spread straight from the fridge IMO - its almost as hard as normal butter.

It is now coming up to the time of the year when shops will be putting their heating on,and I hate it. I know that they have to,just like everyone else.But when you're wearing several layers already,and then walk into these shops which feel so hot that you could fry an egg on the floor,it just seems like some kind of torture.From the minute I get into the shop,I am already looking forward to getting out.

Some people saying 'I shouldn't of' ... instead of 'I shouldn't have'....drives me mad!

Actually,I use the inbetween,as it were.I would most likely say something like 'shunna' done that.Similar to wanna do,which you probably hate just as much!

This is my dad, and it infuriates me.

No, I'm ok with that, I use them myself along with 'gonna' that's just kinda text talk, not the same as 'of' and 'have'...two words with different meanings!

For the past week or so I pop into Greggs because I really love their apple turnovers. If I go later than 10 am they're sold out. I asked the manager why, as they are such a good seller, she doesn't order more. Predictably she said 'because there's no call for them'

Oooh yes, too hard, too sweet and generally out of place. Makes for a very annoying mouthful.


Eddie Stobart series on TV is the worst for this - as it Peter Andre My Life (although I only lasted half an episode, it was excruciating ). They over accentuate words and turn mundane events into a nervewracking, heart-wrenching stories. I hate it because it treats us viewers like idiots!!!

"Colin must get 500 kilos of hummus to the depot by 4pm or we're all going to DIE!!!".

Something else that annoys me is the smellification of the entire world. Take my neighbours. They have about 4 different Ambi-Pur airers going off in their tiny flat that makes it smell like a cross between a Pina Colada and Christmas, they use a fabric softener so smelly that it's acridness means we have to close the window when they put the washing out (no kidding). And when they open the car door, it's like a thousand tonnes of melting M&Ms are melting inside their car. Why? You're not creating an ambience, you're breathing in loads of chemicals. I put my foot down when they started to Fabreeze the stairs at work...FFS! They've just changed Ariel Liquitabs and included a kind of stink that smells like wet nappies and out of date perfume - it's horrible. Stop this fake fragrance madness!!

You would have thought that Stephen Finnigan, the director of "Hawking", a documentary about Stephen Hawking, would know the difference between a "physicist" and a "physician":

People who put the toilet LID down at work. I assume they do it to keep the smell in?? Leave it open, let the smell diffuse. I don't want to have to touch the lid of the toilet (which usually involves touching the seat too), yuck.

Hell yeah! So with this! To be honest, if there is a choice I just avoid the close-lidded ones - you know it's closed for a reason (i.e. somebody couldn't be bothered to flush twice or use the bloody brush, dirty swines!).

I have a trivial annoyance at people who agree with something you say but will go to great lengths to deny it. Maybe they are a little bit gay and won't admit it to themselves. Or it just comes back to the fact that they are afraid of loss.

People on Facebook posting pictures of tortured animals or vegetarians posting pictures of animals being slaughtered ... I don't wanna see that please.
People writing in text speak (I am not a native English), I can't make out what they're saying easily.

ZOMG
MAHOOSIVE
TOTES AMAZEBALLS
COOLABOOLA
FANDABBYDOSIE

Or any other crap like this

Dead skin on my hand/arm after being in a cast for a few weeks

Ew..... I'm peeling like I had the worst sunburn. ...

People who slow down for no reason after leaving a roundabout. Make sure you're in the correct gear and accelerate up to the speed of the road.

Also, people who don't realise that slowing down ready to turn into a side road counts as a manoeuvre and as such comes AFTER the mirror and signal bit. See also the idiots who suddenly pull over to park on the side of the road and then start signalling after they have come to a stop. It's a bit bloody late then.

Job agencies who don't have the common courtesy to acknowledge the emails you send them to ask if they have any vacancies.
Ignorant bastards

Something that annoys my wife is the fact that I can't remember when we had our first date !
It was in 1998 !!
The date is completely meaningless to me !
Of course I can't remember what the date was !

I agree with you there! What really pees me off even more though is when the agencies actually DO respond to my emails they do so by email when I have specifically requested a response to my mobile phone. This is because I am usually out and about during the day and don't usually have access to my emails until the evening (unless I am visiting my local library) and would therefore be unlikely to read their replies.

Well, that wouldn't apply to me, because I haven't got a mobile phone.
I never have and I never will.

The expression "yadda yadda yadda" is mighty irritating. The fashion terms "playsuit" and "boyfriend-fit" grind my gears as well. Oh, and "bandage dress".


I recently went to my local Greggs specifically to buy a slice of pizza for lunch. It was 12:45 pm on a Saturday and for some reason, they'd switched off the warming device 20 minutes earlier. It was stone cold and the cheese had congealed.

People who think there's some merit in announcing that one of the most significant technological advances of the recent past is a closed door to them, and fail to notice that the benefit is as much for people who need to get in touch as it is for you yourself and have to continue to phone the building where you're most likely to be to ask for you by name.
