Pretentious w*nkers using Facebook as a sounding board to go on company pages and spam every thread with pressure group blogs or YouTube videos about the company's perceived unethical practices. The one that recently had his fifteen minutes of fame for calling the Innocent company "Guilty" (ha ha what a wit) because they are now owned by the evil murderous Coca Cola Company is a good example. Or the ones who keep posting on Starbucks page about the company not paying its taxes. If I gave a toss about Starbucks paying tax I wouldn't drink there, now take your b*ll*cks elsewhere

Having travelled by train to football there and back yesterday a few train related ones.

Idiots that leave it until the train is in the station and everyone has got off to suddenly decide they also need to get off and are bemused that there are people getting on in their way.

Idiots that wait until they get to a ticket barrier to get their ticket out then get in everyone's way whilst they're trying to find it with a queue forming behind them.

People who sit in reserved seats and then get arsed when they're asked to move.

A woman that decided to start doing her nails and stank the coach out with nail varnish.

People letting their toddlers run up and down the aisle.

Someone in the quiet coach deciding to ring their partner to let them know they were half way home and then proceeding to be on the phone to them for 20 minutes until just before they got off.

1. The constant DS forum freezes on Android.

2. The Sky Broadband Rewards Scam popup that appears when you visit DS. How do DS even allow it?

Plenty of money to spend on booze every weekend but they have a tantrum at the thought of having to pay for their education.

Chas and Dave or whatever the blasted Hairy bikers are called. One thinks he's a right comedian (he's not), and they're sent off to glorious parts of the world to cook. Send them by all means, but turn off the camera and steal their pasports sothat they can't ever besmirch my TV again.

Oh dear, you should see the closed Slimming World Group pages on Facebook....they post photos of every crumb that passes their lips....I wouldn't put it past some of them to post images of the resulting turd either if they could make it attractive and appetising enough

The fact that in a TESCO yesterday I clocked a shoplifter so stood in the same isle as him hoping to frustrate him into leaving. 10 minutes later and it was me who got frustrated and left. He'd gone by the time I spotted any staff.

Pressing the back button accidently

When you meet a nice/attractive man who you get on well with and it turns out he is gay.

Managers who love to trot out the 'we're all about customer service - all in it together' line. But really the low paid workers (i.e me) run around like blue arsed flies doing the labour while the useless 'higher ups' stand around watching whilst sipping their coffee.

Man buns and bushy beards. Ear plugs (the stretchy ear ones) and neck tattoos.

People speeding in supermarket car parks.

When you are walking down a narrow pavement and two people are approaching you, but don't move in, meaning you have to either shove into one of them or step into the road.

People who aren't disabled using disabled parking spaces; if you do this you are just the lowest of the low, absolutely disgraceful behaviour.

When you ask for someone's 1st line of address and postcode but they give you their full address.

When you ask for the make and model of someone's car but they give you the registration.

Websites that automatically assume you're in America.

Americans who automatically assume anyone else speaking English on the internet is also American or in America.

And they give you dirty looks for being in "their" way. Where else am I really meant to go?

Or when you ask for the address they only give you their postcode. I don't want the bloody postcode only to then have to ask for the house number, just give me the house and street and I'm all good.

I know it's because all the bigger companies are dealing with addresses all over the UK and the postcode is the best way of narrowing the search but it still annoys me. Particularly as I often don't quite catch the postcode whereas I'll nearly always here the number and street thus saving the "was that a d, or e or t, sir?" conversations.

When you're opening to your mate about stuff and they either miss the point entirely or continually dismiss or disprove your feelings with examples from the past when the whole point of the conversation is that you've essentially been 'acting' up until now.

Yes this really irks me. Is it so hard to just move into single file for a couple of minutes?

Our local Doctor saying you have to phone at 8:30 am for an appointment for that day and you are not allowed to make an appointment for any other day, you have to phone on that morning of the day you want. Not good if you are ill and can't get out your bed, or are sleeping because you are ill. I feel sorry for people who don't have anyone to phone for them.

Shops where the window display price tags are turned round so you can't see the price What is the psychology behind this? Is it that you will go in to find out and end up buying that or something else? Is it that the items are ridiculously expensive? Sorry but it's my cue to walk away.

All mentions of the "LGTB community". Do they all live together in little villages?

Shop workers who insist on getting out a mop and bucket and cleaning the store floor while the shop's still open. They'll have plenty of time to clean the floor to their heart's content when the shop's empty so why do it 5 minutes before they close and annoy their last-minute customers?

When I worked in a shop I mopped the floor before the last customers were gone as the shop closed at 10 pm and the end of my shift was 10pm. I wasn't paid past that so I wanted out of shop as soon as possible.

I've just reurned from a quick walk. On my way out I came across a group of old people who were nattering, blocking the entire width of the pavement. Not one of them made the slightest effort to give me an inch or two to pass. I had to step into the road. Ignorant sods.
Yesterday as I walked along, I could see a car with both doors open, one sticking well out into the street, the other almost completely blocking the pavement. The car had its front facing me and I could see a young fella pratting about inside. He saw me and we made eye-contact several times as I approached. He made no attempt to shut his door. Only as I began to awkardly squeeze past his door did he mutter 'oh sorry mate' and reach for his door. He was obviously expecting me to go in the road. Another ignoramus.

Probably because they aren't paid to stay after that time

Yep. Have you also noticed how those coming towards you against the flow of traffic invariably move in to your left so that its you who has to turn around to make sure you're not stepping out into the path of a lorry.

Something that is absolutely doing my head in is people letting other people into queues at the expense of the people behind who have been queuing for ages.

Now, if this were happening in a shop queue, it would be frowned upon, but it seems to be acceptable in other situations. That is the annoying thing; it's all so inconsistent, but the consequence is the same- it holds everyone else up.

For example, at the last stop on a busy commuter train. It's standing room only, but instead of the standing people getting off and clearing the aisle so everyone else can get up and disembark, they start letting people out of seats to get off in front of them. This clogs things up and causes a backlog, not only for the people standing up behind them, but also for the other seated people who are waiting to stand up. Just let the aisle clear FFS. So annoying!

And the other situation this kind of thing is acceptable is in traffic queues. When there's a long queue at traffic lights or road works, people approaching from side roads get let in by some do-gooder as soon as traffic starts to move, even though the side road person might only have been waiting a couple of minutes and everyone else behind has been sat there for about an hour. It's even more frustrating when the side road is just before the traffic lights and you miss the lights because 4 or 5 cars have all been let out in front (when they've only just turned up). They and the person letting them out all make the lights, but you don't. It causes a backlog.

The thing is that it is not considered to be acceptable when there is a lane closure and people filter in before the lane closes. Then people get all territorial and don't want to let people in. Why? Because it causes a backlog and is unfair on those that have been waiting. This is the same effect as the above two scenarios, but they seem to be perfectly acceptable.

There is a point on a bridge near where I live where the right hand lane merges with the middle lane, and there is a slip road joining the left hand lane. It's usually standing traffic in peak times, and people have been queuing for several miles by the time they reach this point, but people from the slip road on the left get let in straight away, whereas the people in the right hand lane merging with the middle lane are treated totally differently. No-one lets them in, even though the lane has to merge. It's actually quicker to come off at the junction and come back on using the slip road than it is to queue between the exit and the slip road, because you get let in so quickly, as if people who actually have right of way take second priority to those who are supposed to be giving way.

At the risk of sounding like Spock, it's illogical.

I feel like finding such do-gooders, following them into a shop, getting in the queue ahead of them and waiving everyone in as soon as they pick up what they are buying. See how they feel then!

Sorry for the rant, but I am intensely annoyed as per the thread title.
