Songs uploaded on YouTube - you can almost guarantee that the 'top comment' will be "hurr hurr X brought me here yeh"... where X is guaranteed to be a show or website that caters strictly for the straitjacketed, the deranged and the sub-30 IQs.
It pisses me off in some ways how dispensable music has become for people under a certain age. Everything musical just seems to be regarded as a soundtrack for something else.

People who walk without moving their arms. Looks so weird, I want to go and shake them to get them to loosen up.
Girls in killer heels who can't walk in them. Waddling along like a camel cannot be comfortable, nor is it particularly attractive.
Cyclists swishing past me on a narrow pavement without prior warning. You have a bell for a reason, use it!
Non-clingy cling film. Rage.
When I can't find something I KNOW must be in the flat somewhere. And how my OH doesn't get irritated by the situation at all and just sits back and chills when I want him to help me look and not stop until it's found.

Totally. And people getting all pissy about Taylor Swift pulling her music off Spotify ("Why does she care, she's loaded already!"), whilst shouting loudly how 'I've never paid for music in my life!' and criticising all commercially successful artists as 'crap being shoved down our throats'. That's kinda what happens when people stop paying for music - smaller and more interesting artists are driven out of business leaving us only with 'commercial crap shoved down our throats'.
The fact that I "sound so down" because I can't be bothered to lose weight or it could be the fact I'm happy with my weight!

Sorry you've lost me
Why do you "sound so down" if you're happy with your weight?

My sister asked if I had lost any more weight, I said nah I can't be bothered, she said I "sounded so down"

So you're not happy with your weight, it's just you can't be bothered to try & lose some?

Not all I talk about no
I hate the BHS website:
http://www.bhs.co.uk/
Not only has it got one of those very annoying persistent headers but also a persistent footer

Cheese doesn't need bloody chives, or onion, or chili, or, FFS, apricot in it.
You get all excited about the cheese board but when it comes out it's full of crap like cranberries, garlic, mango, shallots etc. and is essentially inedible.
Don't get me wrong, I love all those things I mentioned but none of them are as good as cheese and when they put them in cheese they ruin the cheese.
Stop putting things in cheese that aren't cheese.”

I was in a 'posh' cheese shop once... a customer asked if they had a particular cheese with black pepper in. The proprietor looked horrified and offended and told him that all their cheeses were CHEESES, unsullied by unnecessary extras.
What a lovely day, think I'll go for a bike ride.
I reckon it'll rain later.
I've just started season 2 of blah blah.
I bet it won't be as good as the first season.
I'm really looking forward to going to blah blah.
I've been there, didn't think much of it.
Fun sponges, we all know one.

When driving back from North Wales into Cheshire, along the A55 & onto the A494; the fact that there isn't a 'Welcome To England' sign to let you know you're back in England.
The only time you realise you're back in England is when you stop seeing the Welsh language on all the road signs.
There's one on the opposite side when entering Wales, but not one the other way; almost as if England doesn't exist anymore.

Ha! I call them Dementors as they suck all the joy out of life
Something REALLY trivial that DOES NOT IMPACT ON ME AT ALL, but still really annoys me, is cyclists who pedal with the arch of their foot rather than the ball. Ergonomically, it's all wrong

Oh gosh, yes! And this one guy who cycles past me every morning on my way to work with his seat so high he can barely reach the pedals and swings from side to side like a metronome.
Also runners who don't lift their feet off the ground properly, heavy heel strike. Bad form.
Salted caramel. I don't understand why all chocolate or caramel now has to have salt added to it? If I WANTED that stuff, I'd buy a Mars Bar and empty the salt shaker over it.
The crappy new safety 'feature' on the new Moto Gs that forces the phone's ringtones to start quietly and then suddenly grow louder after a couple of seconds. I can't hear my Messenger alerts because the sound is too short for it to be heard once the volume has increased back to normal
Apparently Motorola did it to stop people suffering hearing damage if the phone rang whilst it was next to their ear. Why the hell would someone have the phone next to their ear if they weren't already on a call??

I quite like salted caramel/chocolate, but of course we are now seeing at added to almost everything, including popcorn!

Runners with their arms flailing everywhere! I see it all the time and it really bugs me!
Driver's not indicating to turn right at junctions until the very last second, in spite of queuing up behind them believing they were going straight on....
This absolutely baffles me! I mean what do they think the indicator is for - to indicate!

Wanam Xposed has a module to fix that if you're rooted - I believe. Some say it's hardware fixed. It would stop me buying the Motorola phone if that was the case.
