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.
Congratulations bbclassics!! I know you've been looking for a while, so that's fantastic news! You must feel great!

(I can't think of anything trivially irritating to get the thread back on topic, though. )

Savlon liquid, where's it gone? used to be able to egt in in most stores, now it's gone and I had to buy Dettol,I don't like the smell of Dettol.

Software advances on websites that ping up ads/messages,links as you mouse over the webpage.I get so distracted on clicking things to get rid of them, or trying to read underneath them, that I give up in the end,it's not a helpful thing,it's an annoying thing,I want to read what I came to the webpage to read, not what you,faceless geek person, think it would be helpful for me to read, so f*** off please.

Cold toilet seats!
I don't like warm ones, it usually indicates that a person has just vacated the seat, I find this distasteful and a bit shuddery.

Facebook adding never ending lists of crap to your Books/Music/TV programme choices, for which you are expected to tick either Yes or No. I know what I've read or watched, so just stop it.

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.
They could have flashing ones outside police stations

Dear Amazon,

As I already have the "The X-Men and Wolverine Adamantium Collection" and "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" - both of which I purchased from you - I have no interest in the "The X-Men and Wolverine Cerebro Collection", as that collects all the films from both items into one box set.

Oh, and Ryan Reynolds had a smaller role in the collection than people like Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart or even Taylor Kitsch, why is he listed first in the first-mentioned DVD box set?

Thank you,
Emily

People poncing along the street like this brandishing cups of hot drinks like a trophy.

Went to an exhibition at the NEC recently and it was packed. The one thing that annoyed me more than anything was having to constantly try and dodge cups of hot drinks people were carrying.

It's like the brandishing a water bottle trend, but worse!

Thanks, at the back of my head I was nervous but the director was impressed by my work so it went well - phew!

Seeing one makes me smile because it's a regional variation of the usual BSL* sign for vagina or when swearing, c*nt or tw*t.

*British Sign Language.

This 100%. When did this start to become so popular?

It irritates me in the same way as Mo Farah doing that annoying Mobot

Oh thanks!

From now on, every time I see the Mobot, I'm going thinking about Mo Farah sticking his head inside a giant vagina:

Was it the ape man Gareth Bale who started that ? Also on the list of annoying goal celebrations are players repeatedly kissing their wedding ring, making a baby cradle gesture with their arms or ostentatiously pointing up at dead relatives in the sky.

Being harassed by sales people and chuggers every time I go into a supermarket.

I go in there to get my shopping, not to be meithered by people trying to stop me to flog me something I don't want. It's either charity workers or Sky or insurance or energy companies or somebody flogging breakdown cover or some git trying to get you to sign up for double glazing.

I agree. It shouldn't be allowed, being a form of harassment.

Supermarkets which allow the Scouts to beg at the tills for performing a bagging service that American supermarkets provide free of charge.

Google Chrome.

"Dear customer"... (slams phone down).

The never ending flood of charity clothes bags through the letterbox, most of which are collected by fraudsters and sold on.

Bleeding-heart, begging charity ads on the television, probably costing more in ad agency fees, television fees and directors' salaries than they will ever recoup through donations.

Traffic lights.

The way commercial channel TV ads are all synchronised, so that you can never simply channel-hop to avoid them.

Christmas.

Reminds me of the hotel staff on our holiday, i was peed off with them but i know it wasnt their fault and they hated harrasing people but you could tell they were being monitored on cctv.

Basically all day and evening there would be two or three of them outside the entrance to each of the hotel bits (four in total) and as you walked past they would come up to you and start asking auestions. These were "where are you from?" "Will you come back here next year?" "Are you going to any shows tonight?" And a few others.

The first time you are caught you realise that its not possible to answer with one word and walk away because they follow you and out of politeness you end up in a conversation with them! You can tell they hate doing it by their lack of enthusiasm.

By the end of two weeks we were sick of them. You couldnt go anywhere in the hotel without them harrassing you. The worst part was when we actually had a question, none of them knew the answer!

I would complain to the tour operator and go after a bit of compensation. You paid to go away for for a relaxing holiday and got nothing but constant harassment.

Heh. That Mobot is a sign for pressure or intense in context of mental health. The nearest when interpreting would be 'overwhelming' or 'caving in'.

Thanks for sharing that, funnily enough the the tutor didn't teach us this on our Level 1 course!!
I have no idea which level you'll learn that on. As you probably can tell, I haven't been to a BSL course. I should. Is it fun?
