People who punctuate almost exclusively with strings of fullstops: "What are we meant to do....politicians always say one thing and do another.... how many times did Mr XXXX say he was going to crack down.....did anything happen.... did it hell.
And so on.
And people who overload their sentences with commas: I subscribe to a popular radio enthusiasts magazine, and the previous editor, must have had a huge box of commas, he needed to use, before they went off. Getting through the articles he sub-edited, was like wading through teacle.
Tracking parcels online. I feel like some angry stalker keeping tabs on someone's whereabouts 
One particular parcel has turned into an obsession... Help

What annoys me is when I'm tracking a parcel from a room with a clear view of the street (I'm at the end of a cul-de-sac) and an update appears saying "Attempted delivery, no one home."
Cretinous strangers who shout 'cheer up it might never happen' when walking past me - how about I tell them why I'm unhappy then they might shut their hole.
Wish they'd mind their own business, I never asked for their opinion.
People who stink out the bathroom and don't bother opening the window,laziness,
In my local Asda, people using the wrong doorways and blocking the way.
The ones who walk out through the clearly marked ENTRANCE when i'm trying to get in, and walk in through the clearly marked EXIT, mostly into a barrage of trolleys.
Agencies who are quick to say 'you were not successful in getting this role etc' and when I send them a nice email to ask why/feedback they say bugger all. Useless.

With you on the full stops thing. I have a mate whose statuses on Facebook are usually along the lines of: 'Off to xxxx....hope they've got some of that (food/drink/whatever) that I had last time....then meeting xxxx for a pint...hope he/she brings their wallet....lol'.
So annoying! Also use of 'lol' when there's nothing funny. Same mate as above sent me a message asking if I wanted to go with him to a theme park. I replied with something like 'thanks for the offer but not really something I'm interested in'. He responds 'OK...lol'. What was funny?
At work, when I'm taking a food order, if people read the whole menu description to me!
For example
Customer: Could I have the hunters chicken please?
Me: Of course *puts it on the till"
Customer: It's the hunters chicken: chargrilled chicken breast,
Me: Yeah, I've got it.
Customer, (continuing) that's grilled, with bacon and melted cheese served with smoky BBQ sauce,
Me: Yep, got that. Is that everything for you?
Customer: also served with seasoned chips, onion rings, peas, and beer battered onion rings,
Me: Yep, that's not a problem, I've put that on the till for you. Can I get you anything else today?
Customer: (STILL continuing) served with seasonal greens.

Brits who say 'season' instead of 'series'.
Those who speak in 'Internet speech' seriously I've heard someone say "lol". Argh!

When you are posting, or replying, (particularly if multi quoting) on DS, and you get that "a problem occurred with this page, it is being reloaded."
You lose everything that you had typed, and have to start over, aaarghhh.

I don't know why this annoys me so much because it really shouldn't but does. Anyway, the lady I sit next to at work is ALWAYS working (I told you this shouldn't annoy me) to the point where she absolutely batters her laptop keyboard as though each email sent might the last. I think it annoys me because I know it's not busy so it's not like there's a lot to get through. It's like being sat next to the cleverest girl in school in set 1 who would actually shush you, tell you off or give you a stern look if you took a moment to maybe start a conversation that isn't work related.

I agree it can be annoying, but I think sometimes people use it to soften what might otherwise be construed as a harsh remark. lol! Sorry

I do do this but only when referring to American dramas, ie season 5 of Dexter, likewise it'll be Series 3 of Whitechapel. I don't know why in all honesty.

That's fair enough, although in that instance I was the one being 'harsh' as I'd just turned him down for a date! My main gripe is when its used for no reason, as in my experience above or when they'll put something like:' Car in for a service so catching the bus...lol'.

I think that's me..............
I believe it's an affliction.......a bit like biting nails..............and I just can't seem to stop it..................I believe the habit is getting worse.............and worse..............
When people replace the word "have" with the word "of".
Example, "she should of tried harder at school"
instead of "she should have tried harder at school".
Spelling and other punctuation mistakes don't bother me one iota. I am not even good at it myself, but the above sends me into a fuming rage.

People who say they would keep their job if they won the lottery. Saying things like 'oohhh I'd be bored if I didn't work'. If you cant think of anything better to do as a multi millionaire than to sit in an office all day dealing with 100's of tedious emails then I feel sorry for you . No actually I feel cross. But I don't know why.
No actually I feel cross. But I don't know why.

People sitting on my couch and actually using the cushions !!!! they are there for display purposes only, not to be squished.
