Reminds me of a friend of mine who started off saying" Do you know what I mean " after every sentence .It became such a habit that after a few years of saying it it is now morphed into " Jimeen " after every sentence she says !!

Me and my clumsiness! I'm always banging into things, etc, so generally have some bruises, scratches and scars. Annoying in summer when I want to bare my arms and legs to keep cool, so have to do a cover-up job with fake tan/real tan and camouflage makeup.

None-driver friends who seem to think that because you drive you should therefore ferry their arses to and fro like you are a free taxi service. I don't mind giving people a lift but I don't like it being taken for granted I will do it.

Nor do I like it when they want me to ferry their kids around too when I have already explained I have no booster seat and no intention of buyng one as I don't have kids. And no trying to tell me it'll be ok without because they wouldn't put their child in danger won't wash because who would get into trouble if you were seen? Not them or their kid!

Great tip. I do a similar thing but just by switching the headlights (and therefore tail lights) on. I wouldn't mind tailgaters so much if I was a slow driver, but I'm not! I'm usually at least 5mph over the limit (yeah I know that's illegal blah blah). God knows what they do to slow drivers!!!

Equally, I hate slow drivers. The ones who do 35-40 in a 60 zone. And middle lane hoggers. Grrrr!!

Another tailgating variant.

When I'm following a tractor down the road, or other slower traffic, it irritates me when the car behind closes up on me at 70mph and then leaves it to the last second to slow down with hard braking and then sit on my tailpipe. Why not just lift off and let the speed drop away gently?

And then they spend all their time doing that weaving about as they contantly keep looking for an overtake.

(not really a trivial thing but iiuc there ain't no MAJOR thread) so, it bugs me that I've only just realised that with the walls being so darn thin in this tower block it is virtually certain that ~6 neighbours have just heard me give out my credit card details over the phone (+the 3 digit code at the end)... darn in.

I have a couple of Brummie friends who say (or at least write) 'mom' and a group of friends in Tamworth who do the same.

I think it's more black country specific than west midlands, but I could be wrong.

I hate the term "duck" - living in the east midlands I hear it all the time, and it's driving me quackers..

You know whats really annoying? When you finish work at half four and it's not half four now

Yes I have snuck online at work, so sue me

On Countdown - when the contestant picks all their vowels first...... oh I hate that!

If they do that behind me I move my car as close to the centre white lines as possible to block their view

I just can't resist playing if I get someone right on my tail (and road and traffic conditions allow). They usually drop back quick enough. I particularly like those which arrive in the mirror all BMW and hissing turbo. They keep up, but rarely pass.

The teacher on The Chase who says somefing and free, instead of something and three.

People who say choccy instead of chocolate..... UGH.

"Firty free fousand pounds"
Mark Lebett

I object to both names - they should be called flying machines.

People who say wee instead of little, god that’s annoying.

People who say free instead of three, fought instead of thought, thru instead of through, etc, etc.

UK educated people who spell UK English the American way.

Drivers who repeatedly honk their horns.

Professional people who chew gum.

People in authority who wear shorts, they look bloody ridiculous.

Dog walkers who refuse to clean up after their dogs, thereby giving conscience dog owners a bad name.

People who play loud music in cars and in their back gardens.

DJs who just won’t bloody well shut up.

Living in an early Victorian town house, that has two feet wide solid brick walls and a flat roof. It is blinking boiling in our bedrooms because of this.

Sorry, it must be the heat, it’s affecting my reasoning.

Non drinkers who happily stand there in a group of friends letting everybody buy them soft drinks all night yet feel that because they're only on J20's they don't have to buy anyone a drink back when it's their round. Don't like it then buy your own drinks in future.

It does my head in. I used to say bockle when I was little until I realised it wasn't right, what does it take for him to realise he isn't saying it right? He's gone through an entire education, teaching career and numerous appearances on television, you'd think someone would tell him.

Do you mean "Conscientious" ?

Even more foul "choccy biccy"

BARF

People who get into a relationship and cut off all other aspects of their life.

People who class Peterborough as part of the East Midlands - Peterborough is in Cambridgeshire, which is, and always has been, part of East Anglia.

I know! It's so terrible haha.

When its busy at work so patients relatives think harrassing the staff will get their relative seen quicker than ringing the call bell and waiting their turn. Just as i appear from behind a curtain, put on my gloves and apron and gather fresh sheets, pyjamas, pads, wipes etc someone will march up to me and say "youre not busy, auntie ethel needs a bedpan. Now".
