The way Americans say "anti" set my teeth on edge. I love the US accents usually but AN-TIE just grates!
Working from home and being constantly interrupted by delivery men mistaking my home for the local parcel drop-off point.
Walking along the pavement when a big lorry is driving towards me and blows a cloud of dust into my face about 2 seconds after it passes.
Also seeing gross gobs of spit/phlegm on the pavement.

People who dawdle really slowly on zebra crossings without waving thank you.
I want to run them over.
I want to run them over.
The way that sunlight travels 150,000,000km to Earth, gets refracted about 30 arc-minutes by the atmosphere and then somehow manages to find a path from one of the tiny little gaps in my blinds right into my eyes when I'm trying to work.
Some of the routes it manages to find are quite ingenious. Today's way via the window frame, through the little string-hole on the blinds, behind the tie I've put over the string-holes and into the mirror before hitting my eyes was something special.

People driving too fast on high hedged single lane country roads and not expecting anyone else to be coming the other way.

No doubt you'd use the "they deserved it" defense.

For some reason it almost always seems to be teenage girls who do this. I don't say anything because I don't want to be sweared at.

What an ID10T !!
Playing online (world of warcraft) in a random group (LFR Raid) and it doesn't go exactly to plan and the insults start flying
"Tank should stop s*cking his boyfriends d*ick"
So homophobic and agressive
Tank is a girl!!
Then his friend start having a go at me in private chat
Some funny people in the supermarket, I really think they coach them in for the day to walk around and say odd things out loud .
For example, just today I had the privilege on encountering
A man talking to his wife when a person was looking at cakes and commenting on such.
I can look at cakes if I want to it's none of your business if I'm looking at cup cakes. I proclaimed my outrage of such rudeness as they walked away.
Men with trolleys that think it's ok to utter rude names under their breath at ladies, I did hear you as I turned round.
Women who are with their boyfriend and talk about how their hair looks nicer that it's longer as I walk past and then look back at me .
Anyone think this is odd or is it supermarket drama for the shoppers?

Someone at work has a very similar name to me. People clearly only search the first few letters of the name in the phonebook, and rather than take the time to make sure they've got the phone number of the correct person, just take which number comes up first - mine. So I keep getting phonecalls from people asking for Shirley in payments. That isn't me!!!
Yes!! On the flip side, the way they say buoy tickles me. Boo-ee

For me it's how they say Iraq, I couldn't watched Fahrenheit 9/11 when it was released because of it.

People who say October 10th instead of people who say October THE 10th!
British people who say "Math" instead of "Maths" which is actually more grammatically correct as it is the study of Mathematics, NOT Mathematic!
People spelling and pronouncing 'marshmallow' as 'marshmellow'! Sue Perkins did it on the Great British Bake Off this week.
On the bus today a woman got on with a child in a buggy. I say child as she was clearly able to walk (running around the bus station). As soon as the bus pulled in the mum plonked her in the buggy and told her to stay in it. She got on the bus and put the buggy in the buggy bit and sat next to her.
At the next stop a family tried to get on with a baby in a pram and she refused to take her child out and fold away her buggy. So the family had to wait in the wind and rain for the next bus! All the time she had a smug look on her face.
It annoyed me because her child was clearly capable of sitting on a chair but she was too lazy to fold the buggy up!

another bus annoyance again
is why do people get in the bus with a £!0 or £20 notes ? when there is a shop close by to get change from, instead the driver either has to ask the passenger to go to shop and get change or the driver uses all his change on the one person holding us up , holds us up both ways.

And on a similar theme, people who press the button even when there's nothing coming and cross. Then when I'm approaching the crossing the lights change to red and there's nobody waiting.....
I often feel like just driving through, but knowing my luck there'd be a camera or a warden lurking.

Aw y'know, I feel rotten about doing that. I really do. But my eyes are so bad I can't estimate the speed of oncoming traffic properly, plus I can't tell a car's distance accurately. When I'm out with someone else, they'll tell me we don't need to press the button, but I press it anyway, then I feel awful when I get to the other side just as the lights go on red.
