Identity Politics, unfortunately not as trivial as it should be.

People who at lunchtime go and sit in their car and then start the engine to warm up. Just seems an absolute waste of fossil fuel and also stinks up the pavement with clouds of lingering fumes.
The taxis waiting at the ranks in my local town centre are dreadful for the amount of airborne pollution they emit, up to 15 cabs just sitting there in 2 ranks nearly opposite each other with the engines running, shuffling up a few feet at a time, whilst the cabbies stuff their faces with crisps and sweets, smoke ciggies and read the newspaper.

The smell of all those fumes is horrendous at times, but much, much worse in Liverpool City Centre, makes me dizzy.

People who post questions on facebook or message boards when Google would have the answer in about 0.3 seconds...
There's a Facebook group I used to post on where no-one could use Google. You'd see the same questions on there every single day. Admin put a note up saying we've had to delete some posts because we're constantly getting the same question. And there's a search function on Facebook as well.

There is one thing that does annoy me intensely. Keyboard warriors. People who have nothing better to do and basically get you to agree with their point. Majority of the time, what ever is said, is not always fact, but in their world it is..

My battery Christmas lights with inbuilt timer.
Yes I know the timer can save battery life. But sometimes I want them on at different times.
I have one set which you can reset by switching on and off, with another you have to depress the button for 3 seconds, with another I have to remove then replace the batteries and another set won't have it at all

You wouldn't be saying that if you were a transgendered afro-american lesbian elf-kin.

To add to this - have a look at some items for sale on Amazon where people have asked some very reasonable questions in the Q&A section. Then some muppets come along and answer with something like "dunno, was a gift for my son, sorry". I mean, REALLY? Why ****ing bother??
This gets to me too. Amazon sometimes sends out 'can you answer this question?' mail. I can only think these people think they have received some personal individual query.
They are probably the same idiots who leave starred 'reviews' saying they haven't actually started using the product yet.
Edit Just realised others have made the same point. Sorry!
Being sad, I do sometimes leave a comment on these occasions or even say the review was unhelpful.

Not as bad as Russel Watson imo - The Voice himself. Talk about the ego has landed...

When people hoodwink you into thinking they are something good when they are not.
I'm a fairly cynical person yet have been tripped up by this many times. Sick of it.

It also bugs me at this time of year when you're in a queue and if you don't move the precise second the person in front moves the one behind takes it as an opportunity to try and push in!

This happened twice the other day and one woman barged right past me because I didn't realise there was a till free... Which was hidden behind a big display, around a corner and the assistant didn't shout "next please"

That would have just confirmed to me my first thoughts that he was a jerk, sometimes I've turned down a 2nd date and then have wondered in later life if maybe they weren't quite as bad as my thoughts after the 1st date were

At least with him you now know he was a waste

That I have bought an iPad (xmas present) and even though it's not even out of the box yet I am suddenly filled with dread thinking I should've stuck with an android tablet.

People who needlessly spit the ground, like football players for example.

When people refer to the 'other thread'. Which bloody thread was that, i.e. how about providing a link.

An example.
