When the jumped up little kn*bs thinks who are doing building work across from the shop where I work think it's okay to tell the delivery drivers to f*** off because they need the road access for their deliveries, to come into the shop and start spouting off, saying the stuff sold is crap and expensive (even though I'm just behind the till at a Premier store, I don't own/run the place) and that we never have any customers. Thankfully said deliver driver is a good friend of my parents and gave them a mouthful back.
Trivial things that annoy you intensely. (Part 3)

Anglia Windows are doing a promotion wherein they've rolled back the prices to what they were in 1991. So what song do they use in the commercial? Urban Cookie Collective's The Key The Secret. Which came out in 1993.
When you have parked in any empty car park, with there being numerous spaces all around you, and somebody still comes and parks right next to your car. Had this happen twice yesterday and it was rather baffling, and annoying.
-Obese people in leggings
-People over the age of 15 wearing dungarees
-Poor signage and lack of sign posts
-People who get my name wrong
-People who wear fleece onsies and bunny slippers to their local Tesco (yes I saw this, makes you wonder what they were thinking?)
-Neighbours yelling every day - I've never known anyone who rows so much

I just spent the weekend at a two-day festival (coming home overnight), and I'm really surprised at the number of twonks who walk as if going past you and then stop dead right in front, to watch the stage.
We were in a lovely open area, and my niece is happily jigging away in her wheelchair when some big bloke with no shirt on decides to stand right in front of her (and me), blocking the view! What for?! There was loads of room around us, so why did he feel the need to pick the one spot that would obstruct us? Jeez.
(And he wasn't the only one. I also 'arrested' a copper for 'obstruction' - that chap was built like a barn door - and we shifted a family of four (two grandparents and two adult children) who lined up in front of us. So ignorant. Plus there were many more.)
Anyway, we were a magnet for people who just fancied being knob-heads this weekend! Apart from that, we had a fab time.

Yes, this particular beef comes up time and time again on this thread. It is truly, truly annoying, and as you say, completely baffling.
I would really like to get inside the brains of these people to try to understand why they do it. It makes absolutely no sense at all! Perhaps they only feel secure when parked right alongside someone else, but personally, I find it rather sinister.
When I come to put my dressing gown on and discover my wife has been wearing it. How do I know this? Because she's rolled the sleeves up and left them like that. 
It's not as if she hasn't got three dressing gowns of her own.

No, it's a surname! I would prefer to be able to trust George Ezra
When people start a reply to a question with the word "LOOK", when the context of the reply has nothing to do with physically looking at something. It makes you sound like a nasty git.

There was a whole thread about this on here recently

That annoys me as well. I couldn't have told you the year it came out (I knew it was early 90s approx 93/94) but I knew the song definitely came out later than 1991.
The guy in the advert is holding a Rubiks Cube as well which is much more associated with the 80s than the 90s

Ezra Pound would disagree.
Job rejections.
The one I did a design task for, made a presentation, did a really hard interview and filled out a 3 hours long application form - nada. Pretty sure they've gone with someone internal, nice.
And the other application form I spent 3 1/2 hours on have decided to 'no longer recruit due to internal changes.'

That hasn't stopped those who give their kids names like Tyler, Riley or Madison (there were people with those names for first names in my form group when I was doing my A levels. That was between 2006 and 2008).

Only idiots use surnames as first names. Especially US President's surnames.

Just don't come to Scotland and say that, mister. It is the custom up here for firstborn sons to take their mother's surname as their first name.
Just so you know!
Drivers going too fast when it's been pouring down and laughing when you get soaked even though you are leaning into the hedge so are as far away as possible

Perhaps it's a regional thing, but I was once assured by a guy called Watson Moyes that this was so, and certainly, I carry my mother's surname as my second name.

You may have underlying serious health issues, you should go see your GP
