the word 'gate' added to anything that the media thing is slightly scandalous, albeit more than likely much less dastardly than watergate
lowly minsters being give the name tsar - like their task really resembles that of a Russian Emperor
any mention of lack of oxygen at altitude, when it's just lower air pressure that is the problem

Socialists.
People who eat noisily. I might be really sensitive to it, but it makes me feel sick.
Double the hatred for anyone who eats tomatoes really noisily.

I've been noticing this aswell and It's been driving me potty.
Litter has been really doing my head in recently, Some chavs chucked Mcdonalds rappers on the floor in front of me the other day, I picked it up and handed it back to them for them to chuck it on the floor again and start abusing me. Cheeky little ****ers.

Socialists.
Socialists are not petty insignificant things - they're a danger to any decent society!
Using the words 'decimated' and 'disinterested' incorrectly.
Thatcherite apologists.
It's a cure where I live, to hear people saying "somethink" instead of something. It also displease me when people confuse infer and imply. One of my favourites is when people write the time as 4.20 instead of 4:20. They even do it on road signs you know. Could you argue that 4.20 is actaully twelve minutes past 4?
Voters who endorsed NuLab in 2005 after their disastrous Iraq war.
Waiting for a car to come through a narrow section of road because two will not fit and they don't thank you
drivers who don't indicate or indicate incorrectly grrrr

fat people who eat mcmurder burgers and then throw the wrapper out the window of their dayglo orange nova with an F1 spoiler on it!!!!!!
i forgot to mention the stupidly large exhaust that just sounds louder which to them means faster!!!
i better leave this thread for my blood pressures sake
Joggers on country lanes with their backs towards the oncoming traffic. Takes me ages to stop grumbling to myself when I see someone doing that.
Golden rule; I can see you and you can see me.
Though today I saw a middle aged woman doing that who was so hot I forgave her.
kids on mopeds who keep blipping the throttle while riding on a straight flat road because they think it sounds cool. If you want a bike to sound like it's got gears, buy one with firkin gears!
Drivers who stop at roundabouts when there's **** all coming from the right.
Plus everything else thats already been mentioned.
misspelling PEDAL and BRAKE
People who read 'The Sun' and take what it says as gospel.
People not writing down the units when they are reporting scientific results. Without the correct units the numbers are meaningless.
"Somethin[b]k[/b]" and "nothin[b]k[/b]". There was a large thread about it a little while ago
People who dislike things they dont understand, Socialism for example.
People who think its OK to let the cat out so it can sh1t wherever it likes. Put it on a lead and clean up after it you w*****s.
People who assume that someone doesn't understand something they dislike.
LOL @ CFH.
(statement not a dislike/p*ss off BTW)

Tautology ?
Dog owners who do the hard part(pick the crap up).But then leave the bag and it's contents on a branch,gatepost or anywhere else for that matter.
Saying KILL - OMMITER rather than KILLO - MEETER
They wouldn't say KILL - OGGRAM for KILLO - GRAM, would they?
Igoramuses
People who use text speak on forums.Can they not write the queens english? grr.
>they wouldn't say KILL - OGGRAM for KILLO - GRAM, would they?
Yes "they" would.
So for Odometer..
It should be Odo-meter not od-ometer ?
People who stand talking in shop doorways when youre trying to get into the shop 👿
Queue jumpers
The unremitting colonisation of unique southern dialects by Estuary English.
People who haven't worked out that "decimated" no longer only means killing exactly 1 in 10.
And it's kill-ometer, not kilo-meter. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kilometer
Come to think of it, my no. 1 hate is internet pedants.
The lack of respect and manners.My old man (god rest his soul) said that they were the most important things to have in life.

When did that happen? As far as I am concerned its only changed for people who don't know what it means...
Oh, and people who use 'myself' when they mean 'me'.
CaptainFlashheart - MemberSocialists.
Coucou Flashi!
...oh, and salespeople who try and find a way into a converastion with you by asking after a piece of literaature/survey/brochure they didn't actually send you and may not even exist. 😡 😡
When did that happen? As far as I am concerned its only changed for people who don't know what it means...
It happened when the majority of people started using the word like that. That's how language works.
Anyway, I get annoyed by people saying 'pacific' when they mean 'specific'.
salespeople who try and find a way into a converastion with you
I forgot salespeople. I hate when they start the conversation with "would you like to save some money on your gas/phone/electric bill?". Trying to drag you into a conversation.
Half the time I just want to answer "No, I have more money than I could ever spend. Now leave me alone."
Pointless threads about things that piss you off.
People who don't wave thanks for when you let them pull in front of you when say, the lane ends. Did you get in because you're an amazing driver or an amazing person? No, you got in because I let you, at least have some decency to acknowledge the fact.
People who come into my shop asking for a 'Magneta' printer cartridge!
[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneta ]I can't decide if it arouses me[/url], or if I just see red!
B*st*rds that ask for 'Kiane', just make me sad and weepy, and kind of blue. She was the people's print cartridge!
Nothing petty or insignificant really pisses me off. If it did I would be petty (or even insignificant!).
I win.
Saying 'I win' was petty, and may piss you off. It does not piss me off, though, so its pettiness and insignificance are irrelevant for the purposes of this post.
People eating noisily +1, BTW. Just not [i]really[/i]. 😛
95% of the world's population
People who say "literally" when they dont mean "literally"
Excessive use of lol.
Putting numbers in words to make them shorter for texting.
People in front of me in queues who still pay by cheque.
People who can't drive at a constant speed on the motorway and I have to keep on overtaking them.
Grrr.
The way that kids from all over England put on an accent to make them sound that they are black and from south London - innit lyak.
England. 😉
people who complain, but won't do anything to address the issue they're complaining about, and continue to complain - ie, fattys
driving around the M25 yesterday knob in a range rover in the outside lane other 3 lanes empty, decided to undertake, 10 seconds later speeds past me and then sits in outside lane just above the speed i am traveling at. Then ups the anti by slowing down and following me for the next 30 miles.
Home improvement companies who call in the evening and open by saying they're not trying to sell you anything but there's a promotion in my area. You want me to agree to exchange my money for your goods/services, how is that not selling me something?
Far too many locals pronounce hospital as hos-pic-ul.
People who get the the front of the queue and then start looking for their money. We've been stood here for ten minutes and you've only just figured out that you're going to need some form of payment!
people who mix up brought and bought.
" i went to the shop and brought a paper"
why did you bring a paper to the paper shop???!!!
Salesmen that come to my door....
SM, Would you like to save ££££ on your gas/electricity.
ME, No.
SM, We are here on behalf of the governments new whatever.
ME, Right so your not selling me anything, just letting me know something and then going, why don't you just put it in writing?
Salesmen that turn up wearing vests.
People who walk slowly on the high street. People who stop walking on the high street. People who walk out of shops and just... stop. I will always get stuck behind at least one of these people.
Noisy eaters, inconsiderate and arrogant drives and people who write Xmas rather than Christmas.
people (usually from stoke) who ask to lend something from you. or ask you to borrow them something.
FFS its not hard to get it right
and labels stuck to things you buy, that are NOT the reason why you bought the thing, but seem to be glued there with huge gobs of industrial strength uber weld, so you can't get the **** label off
Chavs
shops closed on sundays (thanks Bavaria you stupid catholic state)
religion-christians, jews, hindus, seikhs, and yes MUSLIMS. you really believe that shit written in those books/on stones/made up?
people with **** off expensive dog bollocks bikes and can't ride for squat.
german mentality (i've been here too long); education (despite the school system being pants), flashy cars but shit homes, money money money, slagging off british food despite the fact that most german fayre is dull, officialdom in every aspect of your life, queue jumping, general apathy towards the idea of being polite (it's not impolite, they just don't know any different), electric music ("coming to the bar, they've got an electric DJ playing" "umm, what sort of music?" "electric" "ok, what genre of 'electric' music? electric guitar? drum'n'bass? hip hop? progressive trance? dub-step?" "errrr, electric." "no"), autobahn drivers sitting on their brakes after having come up behind a car at 220km/h.....
lack of any decent chinese or indian restaurants - plenty of Doner kebabs around though (yuk)

99% of adverts. They have got more irritating recently. I'll never ever ever ever give any money to T-Mobile. Oh, and any advert with 'real people' giving me their opinion on something - we know they are actors mr advertiser, drop the facade.
On decimatedgate, the OED says:

The use of Minerva, Neptune and so on in translations of Greek poetry. Idiots.
