For me it's washing machines. Why does the little screen say 'Finished' then it won't let you open the ****in door for another 5 mins ......... argghhhh 👿
Traffic lights angled so that when you actually stop at the line, you need to be a contortionist midget to see when they change! Grrrr
oh, another one........ petrol pumps that click off every other second...... ****ers
pulling out to let someone out on a dual carriageway, then not getting thanked, or being undertaken by them...
Saying a cheery hello to other bikers or walkers and just getting a grudging grunt in reply
oh, another one........ petrol pumps that click off every other second...... ****ers
Don't stick your hose so far in 😯
pulling out to let someone out on a dual carriageway, then not getting thanked, or being undertaken by them...
? you mean to let them off the sliproad onto the main carriageway?
Leaving bread open
Leaving the top off milk,
Leaving jar tops undone
Unpluging my mobile to charge yours up
I could kill for that
Hora
Apostrophes in the wrong place, or missing entirely.
Especially on this forum!
The incorrect use of loose and lose.
luked2 - you should go to one of the other forums where it annoys you less 🙂
People who leave dirty dishwater in the wash basin. It's just wrong.
Noises coming from my bike (including pad rub or fork squelch).

I have this problem every time with my Micra. Takes a few goes for it to get "seated" right or something like that.
Walkers that don't acknowledge you when you let them pass, drivers that do the same, cyclists that do the same - HOW MUCH EFFORT DOES IT TAKE TO SAY THANK YOU?!!
Usually tourists - locals are a friendlier bunch.
The incorrect use of 'off', instead of 'from'.
Leaving used teabags on the side of the sink.
People driving at 30 in a 40mph zone that has plenty of visibility
Lorries pulling out to overtake another lorry going 0.000005mph slower at the bottom of long hills on dual carriageways.
People assuming just because they indicate to overtake they automatically have right of way to swing out and cut you up
People that own dogs that are more like rats and yap all the time, ffs at least get something that barks if it's going to be making a noise in the garden all the time.
Tesco rationing carrier bags (they seem to work on the formula of how many bags you need / 2 so you have to beg for more). And yes I normally take reusable bags but sometimes forget :p
I can't be bothered with any more right now :p
Oh, and tautological thread titles 🙂

Rats yap?
I've become rather laid back in my old age. Oh for sure things wind me up but you know, I couldn't give a toss ten minutes later.
If I had to nail something down, I'd say drivers who don't give cyclists the same amount of respect they give car drivers bothers me quite a bit. Shooting level bothers me. But I'm fine after another mile or so.
Outsourcing call centres to the sub-continent.
Yes i know they work hard probably for little pay but that doesn't make it easy for teh customer.
This morning TV and broadband went down phoned 150. THe guy at the other end had real problems diffrentiating between error, area, and ariel. Managed to book and technician only to have it canceled by text 25minutes later.
My mother in law's insistence on letting herself into my house and changing the bed.
This ought not to be a problem, but two minor things really grate:
1. She puts the duvet cover the wrong way round on the bed - the open end is always placed at the top. Why? It's not a sleeping bag FFS.
2. She remembers to set the house alarm, but never locks the mortise. Thanks - we're not insured..!
People who leave their engine running at the level crossing.
Or who sit in the car park with the engine runnign while their wife does the shopping - just so they can read the paper in air-con comfort.
I can't help it, these people just MAKE ME FUME!
My current one is people at work who steal my mugs from the crew room. I have a 3 mug system that works perfectly. My name is on all my mugs. Rack off.
(the next post will be "people who name their mugs")
Outsourcing call centres to the sub-continent.
insignificant ??
people who put their name on mugs
litter and the lazy people that cause it.
Using the word disinterested to mean uninterested. Pedants corner is alive and well.
'Vaguebooking' - attention whores 👿
Internet forum attention whores, you know the ones that turn every thread they post on onto themselves also people who 'have' to live their entire lives through the forum.
Actually the above don't really annoy me, they are just a little sad I guess.

My mother in law's insistence on letting herself into my house and changing the bed.
I'd say that was deeply disturbing, not insignificant.
people saying brought instead of bought, and borrow instead of loan
everything else in life makes me weep with joy
people who 'have' to live their entire lives through the forum.
How does one live ones life through a forum?
My mother in law's insistence on letting herself into my house and changing the bed.
Just the sheets or does she remove the entire bed and replace it with a new one?
How does one live ones life through a forum?
They post 'everything' that's happening to them in their personal lives and have to ask continual questions about relatively simple matters (not bike related).
To be fair there are only a couple or so on STW that are like this.
The crumbs that always explode out of the box and all over the work surface no matter how careful you are when taking the Weetabix out.
Little splashes of water on my face/glasses when washing up.
People who are habitually 20 mins late
If you can be constantly late - you can be constantly on f***ing time grrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!! 🙂
cars that mount the pavement as you're walking by and give you evils for getting in their way
txtspk. u no wot i mn?
People who stop in the most awkward places to have a conversation (at the front door of a shop etc)and people who do not even acknowledge you when you hold a door open for them.
People who are habitually 20 mins late
Hands up to that one. I just underestimate the time it takes me to do stuff and try to fit too much in a day. Most friends and family now just tell me a time 30 mins earlier than they mean and everyone is happy, but that's probably a self-reinforcing system!
that vast number of advertisements for cleaning products, suggesting that i need 24hr protection from my toilet bleach. who the hell bleaches their toilet EVERY DAY?!
that 'man' who gave birth a couple of years ago, and the associated media hoohar - IT WAS A WOMAN WHO HAD HER TITS LOPPED OFF AND INJECTED HERSELF WITH TESTOSTERONE. IT WAS NOT A REAL MAN YOU FOOLS.
