The recent fad to start sentences with "so".
Why? I don't know - it's just trivial and it annoys me irrationally. |

I have to admit I feel the same whenever this is described as recent fad, when it's been part of everyday vernacular for, at least, the last 20 years.
That's just how I remember it, anyway, but it must vary from region to region. |

In our family we call it "snarking" and yes it makes me nauseous even thinking about it!

When you wait at a bar to be served, and someone else pushes in next to you and gets served instead, despite you being there first originally. Prats.
Bar-tenders in an 'award winning venue' who don't seem to know how to make cocktails. What the hell. Anyway I had a good night out with mates but the venue was a hipster paradise full of posers, with nightmarish queues and way-too-expensive drinks. That annoyed me intensely :P |

The National Lottery - taken me until now to realise that: If I want to play the National Lottery with a DIFFERENT set of lucky numbers I need to buy a ticket each week. I cannot use the online direct debit method to play this way. Oh you can select the lucky dip option but this means you will be playing THOSE numbers each week rather than (as I thought) get a new set of lucky dip numbers for every draw. Don't know why I thought this but I'm kinda pissed, darn it.

This isn't very trivial actually.
When the person at the till in a supermarket licks their fingers to open the carrier bags for my shopping. ![]() /|\ |

Idiotic poker players.
I only play for 'play money' so there is no risk and some players take that to mean they can just go all in off the bat or place silly bets when they have no hand. The play money function is there for players to learn, and for those who do know how to play and a game without the risk of losing real life money but it gets annoying when idiots show up. Pokerroom use to have a setting where you could alert an idiot and if they got 3 or so votes they were kicked out. Unfortunately the one I use now doesn't have this option. |

Ice breakers at work/uni etc. Piss off. I just want to get on with my job. I'd rather get to know my colleagues through natural conversations and get togethers, not by being made to stand up in front of everyone like a 6 year old doing Show and Tell....
Hay. And my dogs obsession with the stuff. It gets everywhere. Was pulling bits of it out of my tights earlier. The dogs keep stealing it out of the rabbits dens and it makes a bloody mess of my carpet... Stop it ya buggers! |

Me overusing the terms seem(s)/seemingly on the forums.
I just can't be bothered using an alternative though. |

That's the best excuse for pulling straw out of your tights that I've ever heard.
![]() ![]() One more before bed. 'Bedhead'. What's up with that? In the morning half my hair is stuck flat to my head and the other half stays pristine. Can't wait til it's long enough to clip back and ignore

It's scary how some people don't have any common sense. |

Yes and people who stand and wait in the entrance of a shop/supermarket. Also people who stand at the bottom of an escalator blocking others from getting on.

People that have a 'cuppa and a fag' in the morning. Or indeed a coffee and a fag.
Their breath always smells like poo after that! The drinks must amplify the smell. |

...and the bloody 'leaners'. The ones bent double in the middle, elbows resting on the trolley handle moving at a pace that makes continental drift look like a Formula 1 car and with the turning circle of a bloody supertanker.
