I have to sympathise with you, zeropoint, and I am afraid that I am an offender in this respect. The thing is, if I know that I am going to be stuck behind the vehicle in front for up to ten minutes I try to position my car a) so that I'm not breathing in his exhaust fumes and b) so that I am not blinded by his three, very bright, stop lights.

In my area there are a number of swing bridges and level crossings where we can be held up for as long as ten minutes. Locals know this, but they still sit there with their engines running and their foot glued to the footbrake, so the rest of us have to take the necessary evasive action. What is wrong with the parking brake?

People who snore. And of course they are always the ****ers who fall asleep faster, but have the audacity to claim that they have trouble sleeping whilst ignorantly keeping you awake.

roundabout hogs If a roundabout has a two or three lane exit then it has two lanes on the roundabout so why do so many people insist on trying to block you and prevent you from getting round it correctly. It's almost as if they think you are going to trying and get in front of them even if you are indicating left or right.

I agree. I stupidly agreed (because it was cheaper) to share a hotel room with my dad the night before we fly to Malta. He claims he doesn't he doesn't snore. I've walked past his bedroom and heard him.

Given the amount of people (and animals) I've whinged about snoring over the last year, I'm glad I live alone.

The best was when he kept asking why I'd split up with a girlfriend. Apparently 'drifting apart due to both of us working long and often conflicting antisocial hours yet still remaining friends' doesn't happen! I must be imaging my own life ”

People who can't perform the simple task of closing a door without shaking the whole building to its foundations.

People who can't perform the simple task of having a conversation, without everyone in a half mile radius having to hear it.

People who can't perform the simple task of parking their car in a single space.

Dawdlers. If you don't want to get a move on, take the bus. Driving at 10-20 miles below the speed limit is not being safe, it's being a ****.

People who think a green light means carry on talking to your passenger whilst looking at them, before maybe thinking about putting your car into gear, taking off the handbrake & pulling away, just as the light turns amber, leaving half a dozen vehicles that would've got through, waiting for the next change of lights.

People who think it's optional to pay attention to lines dividing roads and lanes, and think it's ok to wander all over the place.

Leasehold management companies.

People who think it's a sign of weakness to admit when they're wrong and apologise. Grow up.

2 or more people walking side by side on a pavement or supermarket aisle and none of them moving out the way when someone is walking in the opposite direction.

The cretins in the opposite block to mine, who regularly park on our side of the road, even when there are spaces on their own side. Why anyone would want to park further from their own property, and thereby force others to park further from theirs, is beyond me, and annoys me to levels that probably aren't healthy.

Parents who think communal grounds are their child's personal playground to run around screaming and shouting all day long.

The annual London to Surrey cycle race that takes place again this Sunday, that involves dozens of roads being closed, preventing people getting to work, visiting relatives or generally going about their business, just so some lycra clad cretins can have a race on their kids toys. Prudential should be made to pay the road tax/insurance etc. of all those affected by this nonsense.

And breathe.

One of the local charities holds a race every year and they block off whole areas for many hours at a time. It's impossible for locals to drive to work unless they remember to park their cars many streets away, and even then they can't use the blocked off main roads in and out of town! Many very important roads are closed between 8 am and 4 pm, some even longer.

I know somebody who was working in a bar and the jumped up stewards stopped her several times from crossing the road even though there was nobody running. One even threatened to call a police officer who was near by to stop her, she finally just ignored the shouting idiot and went to work.

My upstairs neighbours do this. And they can't walk up and down the stairs either.

Equally annoying when you are tootling along at the speed limit sit 5 feet behind making no attempt to overtake even when they can.

More annoying when the tootlers decide to slow down to let you pass, but do so on a blind bend over the crest of a hill with double white line marker and then get animated when you don't pass them (as someone did to me yesterday).

I feel your pain Tiger Rag. It's the downstairs neighbours here. Yep, forgot to add that one - Able bodied people who are unable to perform the simple task of walking, without thumping their feet on the ground.

Funny thing on the way home yesterday. I had left a gap and the guy behind me took exception to that and shot past me into the gap.

I'd left the gap because the queue went under a low bridge where HGVs need to go to the middle to get under, and I saw one approaching the other way.

So he was sat there under the bridge with a HGV revving up angrily at him while I laughed and pointed.

Not trying to sound like a killjoy or miserable sod but fed up with seeing Pokemon Go everywhere. It feels like no matter what link I click on relating to a certain subject it is bound to come up.

Can't wait for this fad to die down.

It's bad enough sharing a room with a snorer but (as hashappened to me more than once) it's really maddening to be in a hotel room next to one. I once deliberately banged on the wall to wake them up so I could get to sleep before they started again.

Parents who can't be bothered to keep an eye on their kids so they let their children play out in the dark til 10.30pm constantly running and screaming up and down the street. Kids riding skateboards downhill, screeching loudly (whyy) and when the cars want to actually ya know use the road the dumb kids don't even move out of the way. Or they do move eventually but it takes about 10 mins. This used to be a nice street - one bad egg can ruin it all

When I sleep at my parents, I have to sleep in the front room with their dogs. One of them woke me up at 4am because he was snoring.

I stayed with a relative and had to share a room with their baby. As cute as it was, I can't say I appreciated being woken at 6am by him snoring.
