Men or women telling every one either in flesh or on the internet just how members of the opposite sex just fall over themselves in their presence. I just find it really conceited and charmless. It's not their place to tell you how attractive they are. It's up to others to comment. These people really do give the impression that the only thing needed for them to fall in love is a mirror.
Trivial things that annoy you intensely. (Part 3)

- Drivers edging over the line whilst the lights are on red to the point where they are entirely over the line and in full breach of the law by the time the lights change. Clearly these people are in too much of a rush to waste the extra second it would have taken to travel that distance with the lights on green.
- The widespread use of automated systems for helplines and other numbers that make it almost impossible for you to speak to a real person. It's a very bad first impression to make on your customer.
- So, sooo many things from my time in retail, but I would highlight the general attitude of some shoppers that any given shop is a public service rather than a business who don't understand that I do NOT have to give you a refund, order an item in just for you, open on bank holidays, or charge you a ridiculous low price that was mistakenly labelled.
- My other main retail gripe is people who take your place in the company rather too seriously and forget that you're just there for the wages and simply do not have the power to influence pricing or other company policy.
- People who think you're being miserable or ruining other people's night by not drinking. If you need other people to take a mildly poisonous drug in your presence in order for you to have fun then it's you with the problem, I'm afraid.
- Facebook attention-seekers who are pretending not to be. I don't actually have a problem with people who are shameless about it because they're not hiding their intentions. I do have a problem with people who upload photos with taglines like "I look so awful" so that people will tell them they're beautiful, or vague statuses like "so upset, how is this happening?" so that people will ask them why.

I find it really annoying how people seem to find it pitiful that I use a VCR daily. Their face is a mixture of disgust and incredulity when they see me actually loading a tape.
Also at junctions people approach them way too fast and I see them overshoot the line. Just ease up a bit if you would.

Drivers who travel at a steady 20mph in a 30 limit and then when they reach the forty limit then proceed to travel at 30mph. On reaching the de-limit they still stick to 40mph. Ggggrrr!
Two door cars, especially bl**dy minis! Who in their right mind wants to struggle to tip the front seat forward to either:
a) put the dog in the back and tether it
b) fit the child seat and then load the child which by then is screaming
c) put all the shopping
or d) squeeze through the very narrow gap to sit on a minute back seat with their knees under their chin and then struggle to remove themselves on arrival at the destination.
Honestly, I hate them!! Why do people buy them?

Seems like a lot of road rage on here.
Recently I went to a restaurant whose car park was twinned with an other restaurant. This women parked askew and as result she unwittingly took up two car parking spaces. I very politely asked her to straighten up so I could park there to. She just rolled her eyes and walked off. I than said 'excuse me' and her colleague said just park in the disabled section no one is likely to come now anyway.
Just unbelievable. These people are totally in the wrong, inconvenience you in the process and act as if you are in the wrong for asking them to do what they should do in the first place.

People who start to indicate about half a mile before they are going to turn off and then proceed to take the corner at about one mile an hour.

Tell me about it! The worst is when my mates pick me up in their 2 door cars for going on a night out. Being 5ft9, wearing a party dress and trying to get in and out of the back of the car without anyone seeing your underwear is a nightmare. I have to constantly pull the dress downwards. Wearing heels also doesn't help. Basically I love the easiness of just sitting down in the front seat and no messing about trying to maneuver out of tiny spaces,also having a bit of space so my legs don't end up crinkled under my chin lol.
Mini's are only nice from the outside imo.
Coming home to find a note from my neighbour in the door "politely reminding" me that Christmas is next week and I still don't have any lights up. I get this every year and he still hasn't got the message that there ain't no lights going up at Badger Towers.
But then, the people who do put up lights get "polite reminders" that their lights don't adhere to the guidlines he provides every November. He wants everyone's lights to be "uniform and tasteful" ie: all looking like his. No flashing lights, no garish colours, no Santas, Snowmen or Reindeers. And every year, everyone ignores him

Seems like he is bit of an uptight control freak. They to annoy me intensely. It's one thing for them to do what they want but when they expect other people to do what they want them to do that's just selfish
Plenty of them around.
Seeing comments on the internet which pretty much are either racist, sexist, TMI or just plain stupid. Youtube is one of the worst for this, amongst other places.
I think I need to get away from the Internet before my brain turns to mush.

He thinks because he's lived there the longest he owns the street. He got into major row with one neighbour last year because the guy's hedge was six inches higher than his. He kept demanding that he should trim it. When the neighbour came back from his holiday he found it had been trimmed to the same height as the nutters. All he did was trim it more so it was now six inches lower than the nutter's hedge
I've lost count of the parking disputes he's caused. There are no designated parking areas but he is constantly telling people where they should and shouldn't park.

It seems to me you should have him hung, drawn and quartered than taken away for a more severe punishment.
Officious twerps are another thing that irritates. You have my sympathies

Oh Eddie, your neighbour sounds like my old one! The hedge story made me laugh! Did the mini dictator end up cutting his hedge to match?
People who "laugh out loud" when writing or chatting online for no reason when nothing funny at all is happening.
:example
I can't wait for Eastenders tonight "LAUGH OUT LOUD"
I hope Bianca gets back with Ricky "LAUGH OUT LOUD"
I find it impossible to read that stuff, very annoying.

Today's vote goes to the total numpty who blocked me in in a Spar car park yesterday. I was briefly fidgeting with something or other in the car before setting off when I realised I wasn't going anywhere. While I was distracted this big car had pulled up alongside and, unable to slot into the space adjacent to me, had just left it at an angle with the front end part in situ and the back end blocking my reverse. Then the driver went into the store leaving behind this female who got the brunt of my wrath!
But for something really trivial it's when you phone someone and they say they'll ring you back in a couple of minutes but they don't. So you wait and you wait and you wait...

Maybe he'd like to purchase new "acceptable" lights for everybody and put them all up on everybody's houses himself then? What a prat!

That's incredible. Seriously. Does he have a learning difficulty or something? I would either not put anything up or choose something really garish.

He's a retired head teacher -apparently a proper tyrant too when he was a teacher. The sort of teacher who thought shouting, bullying and generally intimidating kids was the way to teach them. Doesn't work with grown-ups in the real world.
When he doesn't get his own way he goes off and sulks for a while before getting another bee in his bonnet.

See if you can borrow (or buy cheaply) the most garish lights you can find and put them up just to wind him up. Or do this....

The same dust that is all around us that we breathe into our lungs every second of the day? Is cupboard dust special?
We wouldn't knowingly put our mouths in contact with surfaces we didn't trust though would we? (well, not unless you are a Kardashian they're up for anything!, lol).

Head teacher?
That explains a lot. When I used to play football and rugby you would always know if the ref was a school teacher with out telling you. They stood out a mile.
I wouldn't know my neighbours if I fell on them. Always thought that was a pity. After hearing what your neighbour is like, I feel absolutely relieved.
