People that don't understand how mini-roundabouts work and sit at their entrance and wait until there is about 500m of clear road in every direction before moving off at about 0.3mph.

These also tend to be the people that look left at the people that should give way to them, rather than to the right!

People who park at bus stops

The postwoman knocking when there is a sign on the door right next to the doorbell that says "please use the bell". I live in a big house and the only place I can hear anyone knocking is if I am in the hallway or the bedroom directly above so she often wakes my husband up who works nights and then he hollers at me for ignoring the knocking even though I never heard it because I was in the kitchen or wherever. It's trivial but aggravating. I've asked her nicely to ring the doorbell but she's still knocking.

Mine for today is Lorraine Kelly. A few years back she was deriding any woman under a size 20 as being borderline anorexic. Fast forward December 2015, magazine cover quotes her as saying she can't bear to look at herself in mirror. Then last week she's proclaiming that she has never been happier now that she's a size 12. I wish this angst-ridden yo-yo dieter would just shut up.

A wireless keyboard will work. Saves you training the dog (but that's something I'd love to see ).

People who in the depths of winter on dark gloomy grey wet mornings still imagine that using parking lights in the very definition of reduced visibility is adequate, esp those that drive BMWs with a faint orange glow emitting from the h/lamp unit when only side lights are used.

It's dark, it's wet, windows are prone to being steamed up, lord knows how many other drivers are tired or even hungover.. You'd think #1 priority would be increasing the chances of being seen in country lanes and at junctions & roundabouts but no - side lights will do fine thanks is apparently the mantra for the half-wits & the useless.

Seb Coe. Everything about him.

For some reason, the skin on the ball of my thumb is peeling and my annoyance is that I CAN'T LEAVE THE DAMN THING ALONE!

Ahem. Sorry about that.

(Just for info: I'm not picking at it or anything - I just find myself rubbing my finger and thumb together and give myself a mental slap around the head.)

The way some Americans seem to have no problem with their kids seeing violence on TV or hearing swear words on it, but draw the line at sex (case in point: this woman - she'll only let her kids see Deadpool if Fox remove the sex scenes - despite (a) the plethora of F-bombs and violence in the NSFW trailers, (b) the fact it's been given an R out there and (c) the Deadpool comics - and I have a number of them - weren't meant for children)).

My trivial annoyance is people who use public toilets and don't bother to wash their hands afterwards, disgusting. The amount of women I've seen do this really disturbs me.

You spy on women in toilets ?

Have you no shame.

Not so much 'annoy intensely' as mildly irritate, but it's the plums who insist on telling the world about the depths of grief they're experiencing over the loss of some celeb or other that they didn't personally know from a hole in the ground, other than having seen them on TV from time to time. I can only imagine that their lives must be that shallow.

Sadly, I agree. I dread the day long media obituaries and public outpouring of faux grief (although I have to admit watching the Diana funeral vehicles after the service on TV at the time was quite moving).

Males with inadequate appendages who think they can somehow compensate by over-revving their car/motorbike engines in public places.

The train company cancelling my train (only two trains per hour), then letting four trains (which are going to the same place but not SCHEDULED to stop at my station) pass through without stopping.

It seems keeping those three trains on schedule is far more important than delaying one of them for 2 minutes so that the hundreds of people at my station can get on a train out of the cold and not be late for work.

There was a piece doing the rounds on Twitter last night purportedly Emma Thompson's 'brilliantly written thoughts' on Alan Rickman's sad death, but it was so dry and careful and included the word 'humor' spelt that way that it looked as if it had been written for her, maybe by her PR people. I'm with Camilla Long on this one. She's written a lot of sense this week.

I like ET, and AR, both quality people but ET hasn't done herself any favours out of this.

House viewers who make an appointment at short notice (12.30 for a 2.30 viewing) so that I have to cut short the dog's walk (on the nicest day we've had for ages) and get back home to cram about a day's worth of sprucing of the house (wasn't expecting any viewers this early in the month, and certainly not without at least a day's notice) into an hour and a half.... Only for the phone to ring at 2,25 with the agent saying they've had to cancel.

Bloody irritating, even more so because this is the second time it's happened. But on the bright side, at least I've got a tidy house for the weekend, I suppose.

Indecisive people. Had a bloke who I've been close to for a couple of weeks say last week out of the blue "I don't know if I want anyone, but what happens next week when I'm really into you again". Well gosh golly gee, buddy. Maybe make your mind up. You're an adult I'm an adult if you're looking for casual, just friends or seeing what happens as an actual date just tell me.

People who post attention grabby things on Facebook like a deep quote about loneliness for attention or a selfie with "I never wear make up!" Yes but you do wear Instagram filters, love.

When you message a mate about plans you have and they say I'm going to check the times and I'll message you in five, then don't yet they're on Snapchat posting pictures of their cat, dog, hamster, goat whatever.

The scene
One of those multi-checkouts where several tills service a single queue of people and the till lights up when available.

The scenario
2 friends go to the till together, one to purchase the items and pay, the other to stand behind them like a gormless moron blocking the path of real customers.

The car is on a trailer.

I've seen women come out of the toilet cubicle then stand in front of the mirror playing with their hair. Only after that do they think to wash their hands before going back to playing with their hair. Is it really that difficult to wash your hands first?

Even worse when you message them, they don't respond to you until the next day and then have an excuse like "Oh sorry, I only just saw this message this morning."........ except the messaging service sent you a read receipt minutes after you sent it so you know they're lying!

But there are exterior shots of the car not on a trailer...and Adele says to Corden that he can't hold the cup for her because he's driving

I can't find anything about it being shot on a trailer but I have found articles voicing concerns over James Corden driving the segment:

There's a clip James Corden and Iggy Azalea when the car isn't on a trailer:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...Hollywood.html

I'm not convinced

Even if it that segment is shot on a trailer, it's presented as if it wasn't.

I think showing people who are influential, be it James Corden or the K*rd*shi*ns, driving without due care, without their hand on the steering wheel, in a non-fictional, real life settings, is highly irresponsible.
