    I’m in that kind of mood

    What annoys you?

    Self service checkout machines
    Card machines at petrol stations
    Bloody windows 7 and the stupid way it tries to expand folders
    sky news
    Phone queues

    Forum posts that have exclamation marks added to the topic for no reason other than it seems flavour of the month

    Forum posts that say “Talk to me”

    Luddites – people who resist progress for the sake of it, protest against everything just because they can’t grasp that there might be alternate ways to do things.

    Tossers in cars. seemed to be an inordinate number today – driving in bus lanes, making manoeuvres without signalling, driving 2″ away from me trying to get past 30M from a red light

    Gets right on my pip it does

    I’d be inclined to scare them off with my axe! 🙂

    Managers too pussy to tackle people with “agendas” who don’t pull their weight or go out of their way to disrupt others

    Do people really get annoyed by the same things every day?

    Skip lorries that don’t arrive with the first skip until lunch time so you have to move the rubble twice and then when you are not in a hurry for the second skip arrive at 6am with a beeping reverse siren loud enough to wake the neighbours who are already tetchy about the kanga going all day.

    The annoying ‘modern, sleek but rubbish’ tap on my kitchen sink.

    Weetabix and the inordinate amount of crumbs they spew everywhere even on the lightest touch of the box.

    And water splashing on my face.

    The irregular tickover of my car

    internet speak in normal life (and the fact I am guilty of it too) :S

    people using mobiles to text or talk while in their cars

    But what really annoys me is that a police car always seems to pass just after they’ve ended their call.

    What annoys me more than that is the people who pull over to take a call, invariably blocking the road in the middle of a set of traffic lights because they *MUST* take the call and they are so dim-witted they don’t realise it is an equal offence to use a phone whilst stationary.

    And they are usually female women of the opposite sex.

    leverage is not a verb

    I cannot leverage this that or the other piece of software. At best I can use it as a lever, but even that is a rather clumsy use of English.

    I spent 3 days at an SAP conference recently and must have heard that 100 times. (maybe that makes it acceptable to some, but not me)

    People who think that English has reached its zenith in their lifetime and that it cannot evolve or change any further don’t realise how foolish they’re being.

    The plastic bit covering the unused hinge hole that falls off my fridge when I open the door. It always falls off when I’m grumpy. I’m sure it knows.

    Peddle/pedal
    break/brake
    leaver/lever

    This too. Also, people who write defiantly when they mean definitely.

    The guy in the office next to me who feels that even though he can see that I’m in a meeting will wander in to my office, without even a courtesy knock at the door, under the guise of asking what I’m doing for lunch just because he doesn’t want to feel left out of what we’re discussing.

    The same bloke will volunteer to take on projects and then spend the duration of the project and several weeks after it finishes complaining about the fact he had to do it.

    I could go on but basically the bloke in the office next to mine annoys me

    people who put a signiture after their posts on here. why bother? after every bloody post! its not even automatic, they type it in, EVERY TIME!

    WHY?!?!?

    there’s one in particular, which clearly is going for some sort of rhyme/pun on spelling, which doesn’t even bloody work!

    other than that, people who don’t wash their hands after they pee, and then go and handle food (MY food). ugh.

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. I’m a little contented ray of sunshine. An oasis of zen-like calm.

    How annoying is that: 😀

    Lambda sensors on my ‘new’ car. Dog turds on otherwise amazing trails. Kids in track suits (unless they are actually doing something sporting rather than walking up and down the street).

    Yeah, what’s up with that? I keep expecting to bump into Marty McFly.

    People on the internet who get their opinion confused with fact, or at least scientific or academic consensus. People on the internet who are unable to cope with others opinions. People who use the internet to get opinion on a topic they know little about, and take the replies at face value.

    Basically, I get really narked by folk on the web.

    Motorways without straight bits and with cambers the wrong way.
    My wife (although she is the love of my life).
    Beaches that aren’t beautifully sandy and quiet.
    The Irish complaining about the heatwave when it’s only 20 deg. Celsius.
    My lack of strong will.
    Jacobs Kroenung that isn’t made in Germany – tasteless muddy water.
