I used to have a colleague who annoyed me more than anybody else in the world. I literally wanted to murder him every day. It was a combination of a couple of traits.

Firstly, he made noises. Constant noises. They came from the throat and sounded like he was having sex. Ahhhhh, ohhhh, ahhh etc. Non stop all day long. In order to combat this, I bought an ipod and listened to music.

Secondly, and something the ipod couldn't block out was his blow up ball chair. Instead of sitting on a chair like a normal person, he had a big blow up ball, like a spacehopper. He sat opposite me, and what was really f***ing annoying was when he chose to bounce up and down on it, so I could see his big melon head bouncing up and down above my monitor. I used to turn the ipod up, and slide down as far as I could in my chair to not see him.

The worst was when I forgot my ipod, and had to see his head bouncing up and down whilst listening to him making non stop orgasm noises. It was like being on set in a low budget porn film!!
This is very funny I feel it should be made into a sit com, a la The Office.

May I ask if they are boys or girls I am relying on the fact that when mine are that age they will be a walk in the park - both boys - I've been told girls are harder in the teenage years
Two boys? I'd get a van to get the food shopping home. I can't believe the amount of food my son eats, it's phenomenal. The growth rate is shocking as well, my son grew out of a new pair of school trousers in two weeks and I've just forked out nearly £50 for yet another pair of shoes. I'd dearly love to get my money's worth for his clothes etc maybe with two boys you stand a chance!

My youngest gets a lot of stuff his brother grows out of, not shoes though. The amount of food my nearly teenage son eats is ridiculous!!

Boy (16) and girl. At the moment, he's more troublesome than her.

He winds her and our youngest (9yo) up almost all the time. A prankster (last time we were called to school was last October: During a roll call, just after his best friend's name was called, our son stood and shouted "I volunteer! I volunteer as a tribute!", causing others kids laugh, but head teacher wasn't impressed). Often got in fights at school to defend friends, some kids or his sister. We repeatedly told him to use words than jump in with fists flying. He still hasn't quite grasped that yet.
He eats everything but carrots. Leaves empty milk cartons in the fridge. He and his friends are often injured from doing stunts (he broke his arm two years ago during a fall after trying to jump from one transit van to another on their way home from school). Threw a party behind our back last year. Trained our youngest and daughter to address him as 'Boss' behind our backs, which we didn't know for three years.
Frequently holds a "political protest" against us. Frequently looks up a dictionary to find a difficult word to wind up his sister (last time: two mornings ago, "You're adumbrating with alacrity."). Frequently tries to find a loop hole in our authority and punishment against him. Generally, a pain in the arse.

Whereas our daughter is just increasingly sensitive. Everything makes her cry or happy. Informs us we're RUINING her life each time she doesn't get her way. She's incredibly easy to wind up, which prompts her father and her brothers' teasing. Sigh.

People standing at football venues when seats are provided for the provision of .seatingability.

Sit down you spud-faced knuckleheads.

Can opener not available?
Tried but failed...the rim was too thick to cut with the tin-opener.

People that stand around talking in busy supermarkets, Usually elderly folk that bump into old friends. I don't mind the odd chat, it's not like your going to ignore someone if you know them, but shift your bloody trolly to one side and leave a space for others to pass.

Which leads me on to my other annoyance,people that walk at at snails pace around really busy shopping malls and other equally busy places, often staring at their phones and/or walking side by side with one or two other people blocking off walk ways. They are totally oblivious to the queue of people walking behind them trying to get to where they want to be.

When a business posts something on a Facebook page inviting comments and the minute you post the slightest bit of non offensive constructive criticism or offer helpful advice they take offense and block you.

If you're in business then it makes sense to listen to customers concerns not block them and remove all their posts just because you don't agree with their honest feedback.

It is sort of funny now, (though I still get shivers thinking back), but it is about 7 years ago that I left the company. I had to put up with this shit for 3 years. What is annoying is that this weirdo went on to become the boss of the team after I left!!

David Brent is actually a really normal bloke in comparison!!

White, middle-class teenagers in London who talk with that false Jamaican-Bangladeshi hybrid accent.

Tradesmen whose every second word is 'mate'.

The current media glorification of Essex.

People who ask you 'what are you thinking' after a few seconds of silence.

Welsh/Scottish/Irish rugby fans who repeatedly announce how much they hate the English.

People who say "PIN Number".

I cannot begin to explain how much this annoys me!

I know it must be annoying to live with but I think the three examples I've highlighted are superb.
They actually show a level of wit and thought behind his behaviour which bodes well for the future once he's learnt when it's appropriate to do those things.

I'm sorry, I know you say he's a pain in the arse, but these examples are genius and really made me laugh. My youngest is born comedian and it makes it very difficult to tell him off for anything.

People in specialist shops that don't even know their own products yet charge a high price for having 'the knowledge'. As a punter you should be telling me how to use it, not the other way around.

Health food shops with jars of pills at all different prices yet without even a hint at what effect they are supposed to have on you.

Is there an age when you're "too old" for a fringe? I only asked because somebody told me that I'm too old for one.

I'd be interested to hear other people's views because I've had a fringe for the past sixty odd years!

the frustration that comes with having a lot of assignments to do but not being able to concentrate/ focus enough to be able to do them.
