Programmes like country file that do a bit of a feature then stop it and tell you its continued later. They give you a teaser of what you will see.
Then later on before they continue it they recap what they have just shown less than an hour ago.
Just show us it all in one go.
Charlie Boorman programme was rendered unwatchable because of it.

What if your drive is already full of car?

It annoys me when I return my shopping trolley back to the parking shed thing to find other troll lies randomly dumped there. If you can actually arse yourself to get the trolley back there (as opposed to the even lazier b'stards that leave the damned things in the parking bays) then please have the sense to stack them in neat rows like they're designed for. I often feel compelled to sort them all out myself before I stack my own and then leave. Grrrrrrr!!!

Why do the big trollies have brakes on them, but the little ones don't? PITA when you turn round whilst loading the car only to find half of your shopping doing a Steve McQueen impersonation across the car park.

+1 for methinks

People who say "Yay!"

People who are always dicking about with their mobile phones.

The word 'Meal' (Actually more of a hatred than a petty annoyance)

The word 'Gent'

People

The position of a VW Touran seat height adjuster.
The fact that the TV remote is never put back.
Negative people.

Motorists who don't remove Pay & Display tickets and drive around with them right In their line of vision on the windscreen.

Motorists who just turn the engine off when it's raining and don't let the wipers go back down to the normal position.

Self serve tills.

That woman's voice on the self serve tills.

Pets at home, always massive queues and staff just cuddling rabbits.

Argos, they have to press the computer thing to activate the voice that says " 361 to collection point A please " when they are stood right in front of you with your stuff in their hand and there is only you in the queue.

White cars make it easy to spot the pricks, for that I'm grateful. Self service tills are great, no longer have to queue behind numpties who faff at the tills and take ages to pack (usually women and old folk)

The only problem is now you have the *insert extraordinary rude word here* idiots who roll up to the self service tills with a trolley full. Self service is fine if you just want to quickly buy a bottle of vodka and a box of tissues, but surely it's just easier to use the regular tills for a trolley load.

You've not used the ones at Morrisons have you? Objects of pure design failure, accentuated further by the task processing ability of a neurotic, schizophrenic and stoned relative of Jonny 5.

Very petty annoyance: Nice new cars with a full media centre/navigation unit glowing like KITT......... and a bloody Tomtom stuck to the windscreen.

Councils who, while claiming to be environmentally aware, refuse entry to those who choose to walk/cycle to the tip with a small bag of rubbish but will let you in once you drive the 2 miles there and back.

WTF are they playing at? What if you can't drive, or don't own a car? Are you supposed to get a fapping taxi there?!

Bristol City Council, I'm looking at you. You useless fappers.

I really like this actually. tragic to say that not a lot in the world makes me smile more than some smug oik in a gleaming white A6 with a couple of Argos bikes on a rack which is clearly trashing his paintwork.

I find having bikes worth more than your car creates "not having a telly" levels of smugness

It's not bombfire FFS

Nor is it skellington

Over-biked people. i.e.

Folk who drop >£2k on a roadie only to walk uphill on anything over 1 in 100.

Folk who drop >£2k on an 'all mountain' mtb only to walk downhill on the tricky stuff.

Personal reg plates.

And breathe...

People who say "different tact" Not only is it wrong, it's usually said by people who don't have any tact at all, let alone some other different tact to try.

Skiing.

Spending a week to slide down a hill to be carted to the top and do it all day ?

And as for Langlauf.... its like Scalextric on skis...... never again.

A weeks ski spending = new bike ....

people who write Thunder and Lightening.

You can switch the annoying cow off at Tesco self serve tills , bottom center button press to mute.

Pond feeders who drive too fast in supermarket car parks. Frank Williams isnt going to roll out in his wheelchair and offer you a F1 seat because you made the tyres squeel.

Idiots who pull in 1 car length in front of you on wet motorways, so you are blinded by their rooster tails , when the nearest car behind them is 1/2 a mile away.
