And if it bites you nobody is going to suck the poison out.

When someone gives you that withering 'don't be so stupid' look.

Especially when you can't work out what was so stupid about it.

I mull over things and this just drives me nuts

Wanted to mention that guys also do that stupid animal face/bunny ears edit picture thing too. I don't get it either.

My irritation is someone in the house cooks smoked kippers - they are the most foul smelling thing ever. Yuck and the smell hangs around.

'If the fun stops, stop', referring to gambling.

It's no fun gambling, only if you win.

Tricky packaging in general, e.g. CDs and DVDs.

They should probably add that one to alcohol too

Being colourblind is becoming a right pain in the arse.

Can we please go back to the days when we didn't have these strange coloured cars? My mum's had her car for over a year and I still can't work out what colour it is. Dad has a new car and I can't work that one out either.

I've taken to having to remember certain peoples' number plates. The only exception being my sister's car - no-one else seems to have such an ugly car.

Fair enough. I'll make an exception in his case.
But he's not the only one who does it and I WILL NOT make an exception for anyone else

That's an attitude I took to the national lottery. I paid my £1 for the first draw, watched the telly, matched no numbers and felt massively robbed, having had no fun and no reward for my pound, and decided that there were much better and more enjoyable uses for my quid and never played it again.

When you're waiting for a bus and someone else is there as well and the bus arrives, so you step to one side to allow the people on board to actually get off.

The person who's waiting there as well, usually on a mobile, seems to take this as a sign you're stepping aside to allow them on first and either gets on or steps forward to get on and only then actually looks up to see that someone else is getting off.

Happened yesterday and i actually put my arm out in front of this woman who was trying to get on and she still didn't really know what was going on.

People who start threads or online articles like

You won't believe what I saw....

or

"Yesterday at the station...."

so you have to click to read and when you do you realise that it wasn't worth clicking on or could have been written in full. So when I see this 'clickbait' I know its going to be a dull read and move on.

They are not minor though - even though we trivialise them. Your body is being invaded by something that is swarming and multiplying and you are waging war with it. If they were large enough to see people would be horrified - they would be oozing out of your nose and mouth and splattering on the floor and writhing, looking for another host.

The impossibility of being able to get to the bottom of a Facebook timeline. Don't mention holding the space bar, because it's no quicker than holding Page Down.

People taking huge wheeled suitcases onto busy commuter trains during rush hour. I'm surprised there isn't a restriction on this - a lot of trains ban bikes during rush hour, but the really big suitcases can take up as much space as 1-2 standing passengers
You think people do this just for a laugh? Most of the time it's obviously because they're going on holiday. What do you want them to do? Miss their flight?! Or if they've just arrived back, should they hang out at the airport for a couple of hours until you deem the train to be empty enough for them to be allowed to go home?!

Many things on public transport annoy me, but things that can't be helped aren't one of them.

When "diversion" signs suddenly disappear after you have been directed off a major route, are now somewhere surrounded by fields and arrive at a four way junction, all roads off lead to places you have never heard of and NO BLOODY DIVERTED TRAFFIC SIGN!

Ooh, that sounds cool! I've had a horrible cold for over a week, but my love of 50's sci-fi 'b' movies means I would love to see what is happening!

They did this recently on my drive to work. The main road was closed and dirverted but they didn't even give notice that the road ahead was closed until you were over the brow of the hill and it was too late to take another route.

The diversion was posted for so long until the signs suddenly stopped in the middle of the country side with no clue where to go next! Fortunately I noticed a church on a hill several miles away that was roughly in the right area. I would hate to see how a non local would have gone on.

I've said this before (though no doubt I'll keep saying it as it keeps annoying me ).
This morning I returned to a still near empty car park and there was a vehicle snuggled up so close, I could barely open my car door and practically needed to limbo dance to get back in. Why? Why do people do this?
Time to make some more 'Was your car feeling lonely?' leaflets...

Especially when they leave little bits of fluff all over your body.

Also. People 'dumping' vehicles in my car park. Not necessarily in my spaces, but it's annoying enough.
