Temporary traffic lights, governing a section of road with no roadworks. Northern Gas Networks recently did some works on my cycle route, finished work on the Friday, swept up, re seeded the verge packed their vans and left site. The lights remained in situ till the following Wednesday. I just cycled through the red lights, dodging into the coned off are if required. Poor motorists had to wait, and wait, and wait.
I guess that's what happens when the jobs get sub contracted to different companies. Obviously not Gas Networks job to move the lights!
I just cycled through the red lights,
Bloody cyclists 😊
The many queues and checks required at an airport. How many times do I have to queue to show my passport and boarding pass. Just do everything at check in and perform the security check there. If you get on the wrong plane after that you're an absolute tool who shouldn't be allowed to leave the country.
Also the tw4ts who still have liquids in their hand luggage, it's not like it's a new check that's caught you out.
People on Marketplace who say they'll come at 6 to look at your HVLP paint sprayer you're selling and so you battle traffic across town to get to where it's stored at 5.45 on account of having some human decency, hang around there until half six whereupon you phone the person to ask if they're stuck in traffic or something and they say, 'oh sorry mate yeah, I'm just in the shower but I'll leave in a bit'...
😡😡😡 Absolute weapon. We said six and I've wasted my evening now you total arse. Shove the HVLP sprayer up yourself! 😡
People… sorry, scumbags that win an eBay auction then just ghost you.
yeah I am annoyed you don’t want the item you outbid 30 other people on, but at least have the common decency to say ‘sorry, I made a mistake and don’t need the item now’.
absolute divs.
Myself, for riding distractedly through some crumbling road surface this morning and pinch-flatting both tyres on my winter bike.

Unless you’ve actually got a disability, how hard can it be to walk in a ****ing straight line?
Well, impossible if they're glued to their phone, it seems.
Frying pans without lids.
I read this at some point as frying pans without handles, and that I could understand, that would make me cross. Frying pans without lids, just don't buy them!
Not being able to remember the one thing I recently remembered that recently made me disproportionately cross.
Misleading food labeling that claims a product to be a certain proportion free of something.
It is not "98% sugar free", it contains 2% sugar.
98% sugar free would be a product where 2% of the product had sugar in it and the rest had none.
Conference coffee in those insulated flask jug thingies. It's always rank.
C'mon if you can put on a conference at least provide hot liquid that resembles coffee not brackish Luke warm water that tastes like tree bark. FFS
The split in my thumbnail that is catching on everything and is just too deep to trim or file off
Car bumpers.
Design brief: Minimal size,strong, scuff resistant, easily and cheaply replaced if damaged parts of the car which protect the expensive bits and your no claims bonus from low speed impacts and 'exploratory' parking.
Execution: Massive,eggshell thin, colour coded body panels taking up most of the front and back of the vehicle, 10mm off the road, brimming with easily damaged expensive electronics which cost more than the nearest body panel to replace if they can be and require an engine drop and tailgate removal to do so....

Technical advisors who spend longer finding a technical reason to refuse to answer your query than it would take to ****ing tell you what you want to know.

Coftea? You're never quite really sure what it actually is?
Mine was getting a Norwegian container of range stew when on the range, only to find upon opening that it was some honking tomato based pasta abomination.
I'm muddy, piss-wrapped and cold. That isn't helping matters.
People who park on the street instead of on their driveways.
People who park on pavements. Bastards!
People who don't rinse properly after doing the dishes so the plate now makes everything taste mildly of washing up liquid.
People who tap along to music, just slightly out of time.
People in their 50s and 60s who have in recent years developed annoying intonation.
They didn't learn to speak like that.....WTF? You're not, erm, like, 16, or summfink
Anyone familiar with Husker Du’s post 1983 recordings will be familiar with their snare drum sound. It makes you blink, like being poked in both eyes simultaneously.
To anyone ‘scotch’, the mispronunciation of the word ‘loch’ into ‘lock’ ranks even higher on sheer irritability.
Youve got to wonder how the people who enquire as to “way t, lock lomond” would have fared in their grandparents shoes, trying to make good their escape from Colditz or parachuting behind Nazi lines with an “Acktoong” or a “Hand Hock”.
Not bloody far, I’ll wager.
Can it be too difficult to make a guttural aaachhh sound, like someone’s spat in your pint of ale?
Almost as worse…dropping the bin bag into the wheelie bin and receiving the aroma of three years worth of ashtrays in return 😩😩😩
"Well, impossible if they’re glued to their phone, it seems."
Bet there is a walking in a straight line app. Ask the Fieldhouses or Geowizard.
Probably bin dun, but wanabe 'mericans who say stuff like:
From the get go.
Have at it.
My bad.
If you're from Sacramento or Sausalito, fill your boots. If you're from Slough or Stirling, have a word with yourself.

Hahaha...I'd love to hear you pronounce hummus correctly

There's a certain musical... let's be kind and say "technique" which has the ADSR curve of any normal instrument arse-backwards. So, like you'd recorded a bass drum and reversed it so it kinda goes "whoom." There was a dance track from maybe the mid 90s where the for want of a better word "chorus" did this and whilst it's my cup of tea generally anyway I found it genuinely unlistenable to, it sent my ears funny.
(If anyone knows what I'm talking about, feel free to link it. Are we describing the same thing?)
The SQA, seem to devised ways to make simple things difficult.
Too long, summary they are the bane of my existence this week.
Pupils assignments need to be sent in for marking. OK
In packs of 10. OK
In alphabetical order. OK
With signed coverslips. Fine
In flimsy packs. Fine
With correct sign off sheet. Yip
You have three different dates to get them ready by for uplift. Mmmm
We'll only send you the return stuff with two weeks notice. Oh come on.
One of those two weeks will be across a holiday. Piss off.
There's no way to rectify mistakes, omissions or make additions even if a kid has broken a femur and undergone surgery in that timeframe. Just **** the **** off.
Moany teachers....🙃

But the German "ch" is not the same as the Scottish/Welsh "ch"... much softer.
It's not a normal sound in English so I have some sympathy with those who can't say it. At least at first - it's not hard to learn.
What about those who try and say the Welsh "ll" but use the "ch" sound? I'm going to cchhhlandudno today...

Shakespearean innit? or Summfink
People using the stairs at work with an open laptop, a mug of tea and talking on their headphones. Yes, I know you're very busy and important but I don't see why you I need to squash myself against the wall for you to get past.
I’m going to cchhhlandudno today…
I thought it was more like thlan-did-no ?
I thought it was more like thlan-did-no ?
Exactly my point! People trying to say it properly and actually mangling it more than the usual English pronunciation "lan-dud-no" doesn't exactly make me cross but is mildy annoying. And I'm not even Welsh 😋
This may be a new thing, or just observational bias, but recently I've noticed an increase in people driving ever....so....slowly....across...road...junctions for****ssakegetamoveon...oh no, don't bother we've missed the lights.
