I wonder if these people who are rude to waiting staff sometimes get a 'little extra' in their food or drink? I do hope so

I don't know what comes over people like that! You see the same behaviour towards shop and hotel staff. Pathetic and unecessary, I don't care who you are! I have in the past felt like saying something to rude people I've seen when I've been a fellow customer, but don't know if that would just make things worse?

Replacing them when they break does my head in.

Our microwave went yesterday, I don't want to replace it with anything complex, just a basic heat up microwave meals when I'm lazy, porrage, frozen peas that kind of thing. But it will be an hour in Curry's or John Lewis just checking which one has easy to use when half asleep controls which haven't been made "helpful". AAAAH.

People serving gravy in a measuring jug

My neighbour mowing his grass. It's making the most terrible clatter because he doesn't pick up the dried dog poo first. There isn't that usual lovely smell of new mown grass, either.

When you go out with a group of mates and someone has said they'd attend but they don't and they don't have the decency to send a message/explain.
Half the night is spent with the rest of the group then asking amongst themselves 'is soandso going to turn up then?'

Just explain instead making people wait for you,tis rude.

It's even more annoying when they're the ones that suggest going out then don't bother showing up.

I worked in a popular pub chain and worst we ever got was lemon juice in the gravy! Heard lots worse from neighbouring pubs!

Also. Watching Richard iii on channel 4, the phrase "four corners of the globe" A globe doesn't have corners.

Always be nice to catering staff. I'm do the odd favour for the ones at work and whenever there is an event on they always seem to find they've prepared an extra helping

Women who put their hands in their pockets. Ugh, it's just something I don't like, it's just so manly and unlady like.

Pork crackling that won't crackle evenly all over

Put it in the microwave and that does the trick, except that the damn crackling is so hard you can't break any off

Ancestry.Com - together with Family Search. I'm having a go at doing my Family Tree and getting on quite well without having to pay the exorbitant monthly fee of joining said websites, but just now and again something crops up that looks really interesting and relevant so I click on it only to find that I have to subscribe to view a very blurred b&w photo of the bouquet my g-g-grand-mother carried at her wedding!

The personification of cancer in adverts. Cancer isn't some evil Machiavellian villain who can be "defeated" by wearing a pink wig or walking round the local park. Raise money towards research if you like, but don't infantilise it in this way. It annoys me when people talk about suffering from cancer in terms of a battle too - it always makes me think that presumably people who die of cancer didn't "fight" hard enough..?

Chapped lips, so painful it hurts to speak :--c
Think I've tried everything to get rid of them.

It's a sensitive topic and before the usual crowd jump in I don't mean to cause any offence, but I fully agree with this post.

However I also accept that it is important for anyone suffering from the disease to deal with it how they see fit.

........... and another thing: Apparently nearly all of my recently deceased relatives don't exist and never have done according to Ancestry.com and Family Search. I had a job to find me!

Glad I didn't subscribe, but perhaps if I did, then I'd find everyone! Catch 22!

Google maps & directions.

Spent half an hour today wandering back and forth looking for a street that doesn't exist
(and that's only the start of it)

I did a free trial and still couldn't find anyone so maybe not.

The phrase 'I tell it like it is', often followed by something like 'and that makes people notl ike me'. No, you don't. You present a biased and subjective opinion, as we all do, and try and pass it off as some sort of objective authentic truth.

The American "I could care less" versus the proper "I couldn't care less". Ruddy infuriating.

People who think that because it's raining it's OK to run down the road and plough into others and/or push them out of the way.

People who refuse to get off their bikes and push under any circumstances. E.g. rather than walk over a crowded bridge with their bike, they'll just pedal very slowly and keep swerving around to avoid people, even though it's packed ...

Saw a classic last week - a cyclist did what you described on the pavement opposite me on the approach to work, and out of nowhere two officers raced behind him and apprehended. He was served a fixed penalty notice and I stood there looking on, delighted.

Not to mention "I have gotten sick and tired". We're British for goodness' sake! It's "I have become so sick and tired".
