People who split words, incorrectly. The latest example is in the schol uniform thread, someone talking about her grand child when presumably it's meant to be grandchild. There's a world of difference between a grandchild and a grand child.

And people who use the word 'tire' for tyre.

Payed instead of paid. Or did the spelling change and I missed it?

Posting something on FB and having it completely ignored, I mean tumble weeds rolling through, then someone else posting the same thing a week later and being declared the greatest wit the world has ever known by all and sundry.

Being the only person in the family who can replace the #@*€# toilet roll!!!

People who watch films set in England and bitch about how the makers screwed up the geography cos if so-and-so was running down that street and turned left they wouldn't immediately be able to see the London Eye cos that's in the other direction, wah wah wah. And I can just imagine the ptb behind the film thinking "hey, we spent $100+mill making what basically amounts to a Love Letter to / Advertisement for London and rather than getting on your knees and thanking up you come out with this crap, there's no pleasing some people."

Sitting down to your evening meal to find that your jacket potato is still rock hard in the middle.

If I'm quickly checking a text or looking at something on my phone and one of my mates asks "What are you looking at?" then immediately tries to have a look.

None of your ****ing business.

Bloody price stickers on such things as birthday cards, that don't peel cleanly off, and leave a stain when you finally have managed to get off all the sodding bits.

Trying to find the use by date on a jar.

Clearly, they don't want you to find it.

Sitting down to a short viewing of TV, (perhaps while eating/waiting to leave) seeing what's on to pass the time and every sodding channel being on an advert break at exactly the same time
You'd think one or two would want to stagger their ad breaks to pick up idle viewers....
(ABC1 used to be good for this)

That, and humans basic selfishness that governs every single thing they do.....but that's a side issue.

*Edit* Though now i've read through this thread I'm reminded of something I fall afoul of constantly.

People who have personal fury points about trivial matters, but don't tell you what pisses them off or not until you've already blundered over their personal rage line.
Everyone's little fallacies are personal to them, be they grammar, habitual, etiquette or whatever.
If you don't inform someone about something that intensely annoys you, then they go and do it, infuriating you, that's YOUR fault, not theirs.
Fair enough if they know its something that annoys you then they carry on doing it, that's a whole separate area, but people seem to assume everyone else is psychic to their wants and needs and is doing it personally to piss them off when it could just be an innocent mistake.

This also applies to employers/bosses who train their staff badly then blame THEM for making mistakes/not following proper procedure.
I'm falling afoul of this a lot recently. If I wasn't instructed on how to do a task to yours and company standards (which are usually two separate things in themselves) then it's not my fault when I mess it up, is it?

Also Tweetdeck, which used to be sooooo great then Twitter bought it out and seemingly hobbled it, made it so you couldn't download it, took off the spellchecker (why?) and removed the ability to see follower counts in peoples tweets amid other pointless changes that made it worse.

Drinking alcohol on buses. Drink your alcohol at home or in a pub not on a bus

I've been stewing about this one for a couple of days (I know, stupid, eh?) but it happens often.

I phone a family member I'm supposed to be close to, just for a natter, like you do, and she asks how I am. I tell her I cricked my back and it hurts like bloody hell. Instead of getting "Oh you poor thing!", I get "Oh." And that's it. So after about five minutes of trying to elicit sympathy (haha I know!) I ask "So how are you then?" Fast-forward 30 minutes, and I've had a blow-by-blow account of her itchy throat, complete with "You know when you put your index finger in that hollow below your Adam's apple? Move it up three inches? Just there, but to the right half an inch? It's really sore there, you know, inside, but when I drink anything hot it's worse, so I can only drink something lukewarm, but cold drinks do help a lot, but I don't like cold drinks really..." ad bloody nauseam.

And then I get a blow-by-blow account of how some random person she knows did his/her back in like I did, and how painful it was for them, and what a shame it was, all that. She had more sympathy for that stranger (to me) than she did for me.

By the time the call ended, I felt 10 times worse than when it started.
