Nowhere near enough time to list them all.....

How about persons unknown who drive for miles along a single track lane in the middle of nowhere and then dump their old kitchen / fridge freezer / building rubble / general cr@p in a laybay.

Here's an idea, put it in the back of your car and take it to your local municipal tip. Thus saving yourselves time and petrol as they are usually in the outskirts of town AND saving the council money by employing someone to drive about in a van and collect all your sh!t.

>People who talk about themselves in the 3rd person, ‘Gary’s looking forward to riding his bike’ why can’t they just say ‘I’m’.

Yes!

>Drivers leaving their engines running when they are waiting/for/dropping people off. My son was recently playing in a football match. There was a mum watching from her car and she had the engine running for over an hour. Can’t you just wear another jumper if you’re cold?

Oh yes!

>Mountain bikers who say they are going on a ‘road trip, why can’t you just say you’re going on a holiday and taking your bike.

Triple yes!

Very annoying.

>Drivers who decide their car is so special it needs two spaces at the supermarket, etc. If you don’t want your car dinged then park where no one else does you idiot.

I always park in the empty corner if i can and it has still gained dings on one of the doors, people seem unable to park in a space without cars either side, so gravitate to an already parked car. I now park over two spaces in the quiet parts of car parks...

People who write "loose" when they mean "lose"

People who think "as well" is "aswell"

Am I wrong to find people who are overly protective of their cars a bit annoying?

It's just a bit of metal.

People that stand still on escalator's!

fingerbike see that's annoying. When you do park at the empty bit of the car park and then some **** parks beside you. chakaping it wouldn't bother me if it was a heap of junk but it cost a fair bit of money and I like to keep it looking nice.

Oh here's another one >People who say 'why are you washing your car, it'll only get dirty again.'. Yes I'm well aware it'll get dirty again but its my car, my time, so what the **** has it got to do with you. Along similar lines, neighbours or passing 'witty' people who say, 'Do you want to wash mine when you're finished?' No, of course I don't you stupid ****.

- People who do 40mph on bits of NSL road that is not safe to overtake on, but then accelerate as hard as they can up to 60mph on a straight bit, so you don't overtake....then they slow down at the first sniff of a bend again.

The single, most annoying trait of pretty much every muppet on North Wales' roads. You are expected to be able to handle car at 60 mph, that's why they test you on it. Now remember how to do it!

- People who speed up as you overtake. Not so much of a problem in current car, but big problem in 1.4 Fiesta.

Possibly the most dangerous thing you can do in a car, with the exception of slowing down once you've had to abort because of their stupid driving, so you can't pull back in either. These people are usually the people who can't carry speed through corners either...

Wow you’re car goes at over 30mph

the use of 'an' in front of the words historic, hotel, MTB.

I'll give you the first two but 'an MTB' is definitely correct. Just say it out loud if you are unsure.

May I offer the following

High chairs for kids in public places - why do restaurants feel that kids would want to sit in the crap left behind by other kids? Clean the damn things, you're quick to charge £5+ for a crappy kids meal, you could at least offer a clean chair.
Lazy gits who park in parent and child spaces and then waddle off to the fag counter with their fat 14 year olds in tow.
Having to pay £25 extra for a 6 month old to sit on your lap on a plane when fat feckers who take up half of my seat don't pay any extra.
And yes, I do have small children...

Horse riders on a public highway that don't thank you when you slow to a crawl to go past them.

Yeah colnagokid!

Adverts that list a string of product benefits and end it with the line "and much much more" when there is nothing more!

If we're back on motoring ones, then people who think that a line behind a slow driver is a "queue" and you're supposed to wait until all the other cars in front of you have overtaken before you're allowed a go (despite the fact that most of them, including the person who has the issue, have no intention of ever overtaking, and are in fact totally incapable of it). Said people closing the gap in the line as you're attempting to overtake the line in stages and want to pull back in in front of them. Them then flashing you if you do manage to pull into "their" gap.

Not sure how little a thing that is though, as their behaviour is highly dangerous and they shouldn't be let out on the public roads.

The people who speed through the 30 limit which has a nice straight just after it ends, thus meaning you've no chance of overtaking them as you're too far back, yet then pootle through the corners after that when you've caught them up.

People who shout at you when you park in disabled spaces, despite having a blue badge and a disabled passenger.

People who park in disabled spaces but have neither of the above.

The person that pisses on the seat in my office toilets.

Scroungers that choose not to work and instead claim the 'social'.

The high number of studies that blame obesity on things other than eating too much and not exercising enough.

Text speak.

Those who refer to text messages as 'texes'.

The fact that I cant decide if the Saab advert is wrong with its "less emissions" - should it be "fewer emissions" or is it right because there's less emissions of the same number of things.

You're only 13, how can everything annoy you. I didn't start getting 'annoyed' until I was in my 30's.

People turning right at giveway lines but not positioning there car all the way over to the centre line. Therefore stopping anyone behind getting through to make a left turn. Makes my blood boil.

People walking/jogging two abreast down a just-wide-enough-for-two canal path who can't work out what's going to happen when I'm coming the other way (on one side) until we're about 2 feet apart and everyone's had to stop.

The small 'hairs' you get on new tyres. Not sure why but they annoy me intensely. Are these the smallest annoying thing in this thread? Do I win a prize?

I think 'less' is OK for 'emissions'- if they were talking about CO2 particles (or whatever they are) then it would be fewer.

Anyway, back on topic...

The use of the following words:

- 'chill' in a non-refrigeration context
- 'off' (or, indeed, the heinous 'off of') instead of 'from'
- 'like' instead of 'said'
- 'trail' where any numner of other words will do - path, track, bridleway, bridlepath... A trail should be at least 500 miles long.

My neighbour's little yappy that has the most irritating squeaky high pitched bark.

'off' (or, indeed, the heinous 'of off') instead of 'from'

People who don't know when to use 'off' and 'of' (you have them back to front in your example)

IHN - Member

No I don't.

Gary_M - Member

I don't think 'of off' makes any sense, and it's quite hard to say. Not that the stupid 'off of' is any better. The **** on radio 1 is a key user of that phrase.
