When you flash your lights at someone to let them out at a junction and they take ages, then you wish you hadn't bothered.

People who use energy drinks (which IMO taste of yuk) as alcoholic drinks mixers, so end up spoiling two drinks. This is for drinks that have been offered to me in the past and instead of mixing 'by the glass', so I could say, not for me, they have mixed the whole damn bottle with the stuff. What if I want coke or lemonade instead for example?

When my headphones get caught on something and get yanked out of my ears. Especially when it's my own jacket they get caught on because the wind blew it open.

^why oh why hasn't someone invented something like (iiuc) those Mac lead connectors, for headphones so snagging them doesn't rip half your ear innerds out but instead just breaks some kinda magnetic connection. This is why I will never buy expensive inner earphones as I know 5mins after trying 'm on they'll be snagged and one side will die on me, darn it - so it's cheapy crappy ones for me baby.

The "Captcha" sections that are on a lot of websites now to try to stop bots signing in.
They get annoying when the random lines cross letters and make them look like other letters. Also a capital "i" looks exactly like a small "L" so easy to enter the one you don't need and get the "Captcha" wrong!!?!?! = People that I know (but not friends) calling me 'brother'. I am not your brother, nor will I ever be, unless I marry your sister, then I will be your brother-in-law. Just stop it. Same with people calling you boss. I don't pay your wages (at least not directly), so just STFU. |

I don't mind a captcha per se, but some of them are damn nigh impossible to read.

People on the train to work who don't seem to realise that they are no longer at home..
Couple sat opposite me today, both had their coffee containers and their breakfast cereal pots, ok, not unusual. She did her make up and then brushed her hair and applied a bit of hairspray before digging through all the old crap in her bag and dropping the bits she didn't want on the floor. He, meanwhile, had a loud and rather personal phone call (Skype?) during which he discussed in some detail what symptoms may be apparent in men with chlamydia. While enjoying this chat he pushed off his shoes and put his horrible socked feet on the seat next to me - looked quite surprised when I asked him not to do that. OK, looking back it was quite funny I felt pretty awkward at the time. |

YouTube obviously thinks I support Stockport County, since it keeps on suggesting videos that STFC have posted.
Why are they recommending me their videos? Easy - because I saw a video that they posted of one of their players being picked up and slammed into the ground during their game last Saturday. |

My headphones got caught on a bush as I was walking past the other day. I kept walking for a bit thinking that the earphones were just dangling from my pocket but soon realised the ipod itself was gone from my pocket and hanging with the earphones wrapped around the little branches

The ongoing obsession with Marilyn Monroe. For once, I'd like to see a year without a new film about her. There are six Monroe features* due out next two years. There must be at least 40 biopics of Monroe. Enough, please.
*Blonde (2015) - Jessica Chastain Marilyn (2015) - Kelli Garner (TV mini series) Marilyn Monroe: Murder on Fifth Helena Drive (2015) Marilyn (2016) - pending (from 1954 to her death) Fallen Angel (2016) - pending (her alleged affair with a certain president) Goodbye, Norma Jean (2016) - pending |

Echoing what others here have said about people who feel the need to take phone calls while on public transport. It's usually not an emergency, just someone saying how drunk they were at the weekend or some such guff.
And they always talk at the top of their voice, I think they want attention. Next time I'll be tempted to shout 'shut up!' *Peter Griffin style 'NOBODY CARES!' |

That thing where you spend ages writing out an eloquent, informative and witty forum post. Then you re-read, edit and modify every last letter to make sure that eveyrthing you are written is perfect and makes you look dead clever.
Then you press 'Post Reply'... And at that exact moment you notice that your perceived literary masterpiece is nothing but a juvenile landfill full of spelling errors and poorly thought out opinions. |

The recent fad to start sentences with "so".
Why? I don't know - it's just trivial and it annoys me irrationally. There is even a post on here that starts "So. So I was ...." |

I'm getting thoroughly annoyed with most so-called 'news' websites that have Promoted Stories, Featured Stories, Featured Content, and From the Web all over them. Most of them are along the lines of "Ordinary mum's amazing diet pill really works!" or "95 things you didn't know about Kim Kardashian" (the only 2 things I know about her are that she's got a big bum and her husband's a prat) or "Steroids: myth busting".
Really, really annoys me. You have to scan the titles in case they actually are news, rather than paid-for click-bait content. |

Trying to explain the effectiveness of wax ear plugs to someone who has only ever used / knows about the foam ones. In my experience foam plugs don't do jack but if you want to block out everything in the world then wax ear plugs is step one (and might just be the only step you require), but saying "the noise was so bad I had to wear wax ear plugs" won't mean diddly to someone who has only ever put foam plugs and/or rolled up bits of cotton wool in their ears, darn it.

When an employer favours a friend of the director for a job I interviewed for and gives it to them instead.

People spelling the word "lose" as "loose" really irritates me. It seems to be a growing trend and it infuriates me every time I see it. How do these people think you spell the actual word "loose" then?
