People who moan about being ill/in pain but make no effort to do anything about it.
You get to bitch if you're doing something about it, otherwise stfu.
This also applies to film criticism. By all means shit on a movie but if you don't give any "this is how they could've done things better" then please join those ill people by gettingtfo.

Bloody Tesco..... they keep moving items just when you have got used to finding what you're looking for in a certain place. This is forever happening and it seriously pi$$e$ me off!

The local B&M'S here is like that. The only thing they never change is that you have to traverse the sweet aisle to get anywhere else in the store.

Just had to enter a discount code into an online checkout..... Gordon Bennett it was a nightmare!!
Basically, I couldn't tell if about half the characters were numbers or letters because the code was something like " WIOKII00IO0IFGH" for Christ's' sake!!?
If these effing codes left out letters I and O and numbers 1 and 0 there'd still be well over 30 characters to play with.... including them is just perverse and wilfully annoying.

People who forward round robin email jokes/hoaxes. Apart from anything else your email addy then gets put up there for the next person to see.
Some of my parents' friends do that and it really gets my goat because a lot of them often have files attached and if their computer(s) get a virus I'm the one who has to fix it

Drivers that decide to overtake a queue of cars that are doing 40mph then as soon as they get in the overtaking lane proceed at 41mph meaning it takes an age for them to complete the overtake.

Meanwhile a queue of pissed off drivers forms up behind in both lanes because the idiot overtaker has effectively created a moving roadblock!

Worse when trucks do it. They're going for miles edging another few centimetres ahead.

Swapping out or changing out.

I used to work in radio/electronics and it is still my hobby. When I used to change a faulty part, I just changed it, or swapped it for a better one.
Everyone now seems to say 'changed out' or 'swapped out'. Eg 'the volume control was noisy so I swapped it out'. Where has this come from (US usage?) and why?

Fecking idiots being in positions of power. Like idiots who leave laptops full of peoples contact details in their car.
Should be fired straight away.

I'm looking at you Staffordshire university.

People who don't close their blinds or curtains properly and you can see light streaking through when you're walking past. Aaaargh!

What i find worse, and im only ever a passenger so its probably worse for drivers, is when you are doing 60 and theres a bit of a queue so the idiot at the back overtakes everyone so he can then sit at the front doing 60

Or even worse when someone overtakes you in risky conditions, to only turn off 30 yards further on!

People who describe intense pain as 'chronic'. It isn't, it's acute. A chronic condition is one that has lasted for a long time, from the Greek word 'chronos' - time. A chronic condition may or may not be extremely painful, but it will have lasted for a period of time.

So, if you are hit by sudden pain, and let's face it, we all are, it is 'acute' and not 'chronic'.
People who remove nuance and dichotomise things into black and white. What if you have an acute exacerbation of a chronic condition? The pain can have a short lived, acute onset but be part of a chronic, on-going condition.

Facetiousness aside, the words acute or chronic do not describe, in any way, the intensity of the pain so you are also incorrect by stating "it isn't, it's acute". How do you know whether or not it is acute? You're simply making an assumption that most people don't know what chronic means. I've only ever heard people use chronic correctly when taking a history.

I love being nosey too, but little slivers of light peeking through a bent blind gets me riled up (and curtains hanging by about three hooks)! An old boy caught me absent mindedly peeking in his window last night (was waiting on the dog finishing his business). Shut your curtains then pal!

Loads of roadworks in my area along the school-run route....following the sign to merge to the right into one lane then sitting in the queue at the end of the merge only for the obligatory w**k*r to come driving up the left lane past all those who bothered to merge several metres back with their indicator on expecting to be allowed in....it is very satisfying not letting them in and watching those behind you not letting them in

Drivers who crawl over speed bumps/sleeping policemen, especially when in a 4x4.

Screaming idiots on youtube. My bro likes watching them for some reason and has the volume on full blast. They can't just make a comment on a video game nope they have to scream and shout like demented people.

On the plus side I went somewhere for voluntary work today and they were so impressed by my portfolio that they've offered me a paid place. The manager/director was really nice,helpful and understanding so I'm happy with that.

I wanted to let that out - I know it's positive but it can offset my usual moaning haha.

The fact that a spacecraft can travel billions of miles and land on a comet doing nearly 40,000mph but Parcelfarce claim they couldn't find my workplace despite it being one of the best known places in town and a place where they do daily pick-ups from!

And the way they slowly replace your favourite branded items with their own inferior product. They tend to target the most popular sizes too, so if you want the branded item you have to get a larger size than you really want.
The mid-size branded dry-roast peanuts disappeared ages ago, now I have to get a whacking great bag or Tesco own brand, which aren't as nice.

Blue Christmas lights. All the rage recently, but my eyes just wont focus on them, they just look like fuzzy blobs. A most unpleasant feeling.
