We will be in touch
Just needed to revisit this to wrinkle my nose up and ask why it exists. Vodka tastes of precisely nothing!
Because people will buy it?
I dunno, I don't remember whether it was any good or not, it was pushing 20 years ago and I didn't take notes.

Just needs a dash of Tabasco, and what you've got there is a bloody mary?

But more annoyingly he vacuums while a cat watches him........from a robo vacuum.
HGV drivers tailgating in roadworks when I’m already doing 55 mph in the inside lane. You want to overtake? Go for it. But sitting behind me while flashing your lights and deliberately driving as close as possible just enrages me beyond belief.
Why is it that “professional” drivers are often the worst on the road?
Today it's this guy

Camp there whenever you like but maybe just send the pics to a few close mates and not somehow try to prove you've completed Snowdonia, like the rescue guys aren't stretched enough.
Roadworks on major roads. Or, rather the abject bellendery displayed by drivers in said areas.
A1/M. Major roadworks. 2 lanes. Signs on both sides saying 'use both lanes' then, lo and behold, at the merge point, signs saying 'merge in turn'.
Its not complicated. It's not difficult. So, to the ****stain in the white car, deciding he's the road policing police, straddling both lanes to stop the 'overtakers' as they're the 'others' over-taking... Eff you. Nob. Is it any wonder there's 5 mile tailbacks you tosser?
Is it any wonder there’s 5 mile tailbacks you tosser?
I don't think this is disproportionate, it's asshattery of the highest order. Merge like a zip and traffic works, well, like a zip. Some tit gets it into their head that everyone else is queue-jumping despite it being two parallel lines to the same place and congratulations, you've just doubled the length of the queue causing who knows what knock-on problems behind you.
Reading ‘one-fourth’ in a NY Times article.
That's because the NY Times is a daily, not a quarterly.
Traffic light creepers. The ones who stop at the red light queue long enough for me to pull up behind them and for my stop/start to kill the engine. Then they decide they'd like to be a foot closer to the car in front so they move forward, my car spots them moving off so starts the engine again. Then they decide another couple of inches of progress are necessary. And again.
Then when the lights change they're suddenly in no hurry to go anywhere so leave a massive gap to the car in front, enough for the road sensor to decide it's time to switch back to red. And repeat...
people that don't admit they are wrong/made a mistake/didn't actually say what they said they said.
Now this is NOT because I want to say 'told you so' or judge them - far from it.
Its just that I have the type of personality that always thinks it was my fault - when I balls up I always admit it but when something goes wrong, doesn't happen etc and I'm sure its not me and the other person assures me they didn't make a mistake then I spend way too long trying to work out how I messed up.
If I then subsequently find out that actually they were lying and (in this particular case) didn't tell me some important info then I am now disproportionately cross that I spent a week worrying about how I could have been so stupid as to forget an important conversation rather then him saying 'sorry mate must have forgot to tell you' and me saying 'muppet - no worries it will just take a bit longer now' and forgetting about the situation 5 minutes later.
Cyclists who think they must get to the green bicyclists bit when there's a line of traffic stopped at the lights. And do so by filtering up the middle.
What inevitable happens is just as they reach the front of the leading cars the lights change and they wobble about and hold up the entire two lanes.

Canyon Bikes. I was ever-so-tempted by a Neuron CF8, as it was reduced...
Then they put the price back up and my longing abated.
It's bloody reduced again, only this time, by a further £100! Damn you Canyon...damn you.
Yeah – but was it blue?

Estate agent I'm currently dealing with... the 'boss' is really nice, but his 'senior sales negociator' is an absolute nightmare, one of those who loves the sound of thier own voice...I've literally had to tell her "shut up, let me talk, I can't get a bloody word in edgeways!" on more than one occasion.
The job is almost complete so I'm just not picking the phone up to them any more, email only, for my sanity!
Front seat passengers that put their feet up on the dashboard. Often barefoot.
Get your rank cheesy feet off the dash and windscreen, before, god forbid you have a crash and put your knee caps through your eye sockets as the airbag goes off.
People who park up in a village to shit in the woods. Saw this guy park up in a quiet side street the other day. Gets out the car his mate hands him a roll of toilet paper. He walks into the woods. Comes back out five minutes later with his phone in his hand no toilet roll. Jumps in the car and drives off. There are public toilets in the village centre and plenty of cafes about with toilets. Is it a thing to shit in the woods when you could just as easily go to a nearby public toilet? Maybe a hash tag thing to brag about.

Oh man, I would lose the plot if someone did that in my car, huge safety aspects aside, it shows a complete lack of respect. I would stop the car and kick them out.
People who are orecious about tbeur cars ?

In my defence, it was a hot day and I'd been cooped up in the car for hours. Seat was hot so change of position required. Feet not cheesy because I wash then and they weren't sweating away inside foot coffins 🙂
To be honest feet on the dash is the least of the issues in our car lolol.
Lolz
Shoe sizes aaaaaaahhhhhh
People who use the bandsaw and just leave their offcuts all over it.
Every. Single. Time.
Annoying as anything, but also very dangerous in a busy workshop where your instinct is to sweep offcuts away when saws can still be running unnoticed in the general noise.
Angry face emoji
People that chip their car park/ drive at their house then keep dragging stones out into the road every time they drive off but never sweep up all their s--t
Fishermen who loose creels or cut their ropes only for them to be washed ashore never seem to clean up their act

Winds me up immensely as I’d have to clean the footprints of it. I’ve kicked a passenger out before now for that, our vehicles used to get inspected BITD.
Not bothered about their stupidity related potential injury.
Because you're foolish enough to have a shower curtain. Hateful things, clammily slopping against your leg as soon as you start the shower because that's how air pressure works. She's hoping that you'll get sufficiently pissed off to replace it with a screen door, this isn't the 1970s.
(She's not, she thinks it looks better hanging straight, but y'know.)

I am outraged.
Mrs sargey going for a shower and using the loo before her shower, Nothing wrong with that but before the cistern has filled up she turns the boiler fed shower on before it's filled up.

Most folk now have semi retired their big oven for making cakes, scones and Xmas and bought an air fryer so why don't they give times for optimum cooking frozen stuff instead of guessing

The disgusting lunatic of a man who, in a busy campsite toilet block in Dorset, showers next door, is standing at the line of basins, pants down, washing his bollocks etc, arse hanging out, waddling around getting things from his bag, mid-bollock washing.
Seriously, WTAF is wrong with some people?!
Won't be brushing my teeth in there...

Sorry, I didn't have a token for the shower......
And, I've got a bit of a fungal infection 'down there' which chafes and flakes like a b*****d so needs must.

I worked with someone who would hold the steering wheel with his right hand at 12 o'clock. He had a small bump while driving in a queue and the airbag went off, he managed to knock himself out, break his nose, jaw and wrist. He'd been warned multiple times but refused to change.
Needy bastard applications. I don't need an unskippable "quick tutorial" to an app I've been using since the days of Windows 3.1, get to **** and show me the bloody document I've just opened. If your UI is so counterintuitive that you need to foist a tutorial on your users then it is broken.
Whilst we're on the subject, "open in browser" defaults. Chrome opens .pdf documents in-browser, badly. The mobile Facebook app opens web pages in-app, badly. Just ****ing stop it already, it's a shit user experience.
People who can only talk about football.
As in their opening line in a social situation is 'What team do you support then?' and when I answer 'None, I don't follow football.' just carry on talking about football. Usually because they have nothing else to talk about in their pitiful lives.
Just had it for 20 mins until their partner appeared over his shoulder mouthing 'Sorry...' and dragging him away!
"Old guys rule" T-shirts and apparel. I am very much in their target demographic but Christ on a bendy bus they make my teeth itch!
People who take their dog to the pub,sit inside then bring the dog out for a pi## in the fully enclosed beer garden where kids are playing.
That crazy woman that screamed at me for going through a red light.
I hadn't, she didn't realise that it's a long climb and bikes are much slower than cars (especially going uphill towards Longnor). The lights had changed a few times before I made it through!

When off work sick:injured.
Me:- Here’s my sick note for 3 weeks
Work:- when do you think you’ll be back?
me:- Don’t know awaiting a scan/diagnoses/whatever.
work:- Do you think you’ll be in next week?
Me;- I don’t know, I’ve not had the scan/diagnosis/ whatever but probably not.
Work:- When do you think you’ll be back?

I've probably posted this comment before, but almost everyone, and their lazy attitude/approach to work.
I've just lost an entire morning of planned work to sorting out issues that needn't have arisen if people had done their jobs with even a modicum of care or diligence.

When the miles left in your fuel gauge goes below 50 it doubles in speed and within a few mins you wish you'd taken that wee 3 mile detour for fuel
Petrol pumps...always, always, always gets the extra 1p on the gauge. It's a conspiracy!
People who try to put a precise amount of petrol in the tank.. just fill it up (you're gonna use it anyway), it stops when it stops.

Getting as far as dropping a change of clothes off with organiser the day before for the train journey home.
Getting home and starting to sniff, sneeze and generally feeling rough and snotty.

Total misfeature.

Yes found that after, another example of me openly moaning about something prompting to then find a solution*.
Not confident it won't happen again though. I've never turned this feature on myself.
* you should have seen my happy little face when I discovered you could remove 'Browse in Bridge' from the file menu in InDesign - lost count of how many times I accidentally activate it instead of opening a recent file.

It's pretty good now, the best it's ever been. IT guy at work claimed some people are using Linux because some Windows games run better in Linux than Windows - but I'll take that with a pinch of salt.
As for disproportionately cross:
People spelling gnarly without the 'g'.
Windows comes with some reasonable features so why, as an organization, would you deactivate the "undelete" function?
Also the power off function, then complain that machines aren't being powered off at the end of the day to allow updates.

Pillar drill guards. Nobody uses them and they're in the way and make things more dangerous imho but you're not allowed to remove them.
Dogs that know that they're misbehaving but won't come close to me because they know I'm angry with them.
Based on my experience over lunch, faffing, specifically on the post office.
It's lunchtime, there's a queue, you know this as you were in it. Because of that you'd have had plenty of time to get your parcel ready so it's quick process when you get to the counter.
But no, get to counter, look surprised, ask if this is a place they can send a parcel, look surprised again at the answer, rummage through bag to find parcel, look flustered when asked where it needs to be sent to, look even more flustered when ask how they'd like it send, finally, agree all the above, then suddenly find a letter that you've just remembered needs to go to New Zealand and is very urgent go through all the above again, ask about renewing a driving license, not as you want to but as you husband does in a year or 2 and you thought you'd ask about it, decide you can't remember the info being said to you so say not to worry about and you'll send him in instead in an few months, then you spend a bit of time packing back your bag and making small talk before heading off...leaving an ever growing queue behind her.
And breathe...
