For some reason I get deeply irritated when I see someone wearing the wrong type of clothes just because it's a certain time of year. It's still very mild here, I am still able to wear a sleeveless top and not be cold but I saw someone wearing a jumper and knee length boots. I wanted to ask her why?? I get irritated when, just because it's June, people wear summer dresses and flip flops even though it's still cold.
Trivial things that annoy you intensely. (Part 3)

People that can't use there mobile phones properly. The ones that answer a phone call, stick it on speakerphone and hold it in front of their face so that they are talking up, in to the bottom of the phone. It's almost like they are unaware how a phone is supposed to work, you know, with the speaker next to the ear with the screen against the cheek!

To be fair, the people joining the road from the left are simply using the road network as it was designed and I think it's a bit unfair to simply block them off. The people bombing up on the right are fully aware that there is a queue on the road they are already on. They will have had multiple signposts telling them to merge prior to getting the end of their lane. I think there should be a special place in hell for this type of driver who just wants to push in at the front. A lot of the time it's the merging that cause the delays, especially the late merging.
The mobile phone culture full stop.
How I would laugh if all the satellites burned up in the atmosphere and watched the sheer panic and suicides as the western world tore itself to pieces.

Websites (mainly newspaper ones) where you click on a story and the associated video starts playing automatically, then moves on to a completely different story. I will start the video when I want to.

I used to work with people who did this constantly! They are the same people who don't think it feels like Christmas until they've seen the Coca Cola truck advert. I did used to suggest watching it on YouTube all year round, but apparently that's different.

I love that advert
(the classic version)
Waking up at 3:00, when I have to be up and out at 8:30. There's no reason I shouldn't still be tired, but I feel wide awake.
Give it a few hours, when I can't go back to bed

Likewise as above, at 0400 in the morning and not being to get back to sleep
I was walking down the tow path the other day when a group of people walking 3 abreast towards me and did not make the slightest effort to move. I would have had to step into the river to avoid them.
People that stand in the aisle on planes when everyone is still getting on
People that congregate in groups chatting at the top of an escalator or in door ways

I imagine that the list of things that did not hack you off is a much shorter one

That's dark. Are you ok?
The recent trend for new shops or ones that have had a refit to have spotlights in the ceiling which are so intense it feels like being in an oven when you are stood underneath them.

I was always given to understand that motorists SHOULD leave it until the merge-point; it's supposedly more efficient, providing everyone merges in turn. I always merge early, btw, but still let people in
Merge: what an odd word, if you say it often enough
People who say ''literally'' and ''basically'' and ''you know what I mean'' when one is having a conversation with them.
The overuse of the word... Amazing.......It's used continually in every situation. . ..different words can be :
astonishing, astounding, staggering, stupefying, breathtaking
...just try it sometime please..

Or awesome.
It used to be a word of true power and majesty but since the '80's has lost all meaning.
Now if you manage to wipe your own arse it's 'awesome'.

Or those who say, "Who's listening to this [song from anywhere before the current one] in 2016?"
I like winding them up by saying that I'm at a time just before the Earth's about to be engulfed by the Sun, making it the last song to be heard on here - the time being the length of the song.
