Arseholes that piss all over a toilet seat
It's a Beta passive aggressive thing. Living in a household ruled by women, it's their little act of rebellion, pissing on the seat where there's no danger of the wife's wrath 😉
Dogs and their owners again.
I was sitting watching an otter hunting this morning. Dog owner brought two big dogs to the beach and scared the otter away
Usual oblivious behaviour. Many times i have had wildlife watching spoilt like this
We have 4 car parking spaces at work reserved for visitors. Each space has a sign that says "visitor" on it. Every day all 4 spaces are filled with cars belonging to people who work here. No idea why it winds me up so much but it really irks me.

If it is a slot type then a Yale type door key works. Just don't forget to take it out! If it is the draw type then you need a coin or token. Just leave one in the car glove box
Council close roads for tarmac repairs but you're within 2 miles of your destination before the first sign causing 10 mile sometimes more diversion
If the councils own workforce is doing the contract it takes 3x longer than contractors

If it is the draw type then you need a pencil. Coins and tokens are for the drawer type.
#DisproportionatelyCross
I work with furniture, and it's amazing how many people spell it draw instead of drawer.
There are two factors as far as I can make out:
- Many carpenters are strong on maths/spacial concepts, but weak on literacy
- English people don't pronounce 'r' so it does sound like 'draw'.
Carpenters or joiners strong with maths aye right the only reason most can square is due to their OSB sheet keeping them right or their metal 9" square
A2+B2=C2 goes right over their head, maybe not maths but arithmetic
Can't imagine many able to understand geometry
– English people don’t pronounce ‘r’ so it does sound like ‘draw’.
Wait, shut the front door. You're telling me people pronounce it "draw" too?
I'm in the North West of England, we only have one vowel and most consonants are optional, but even I'd pronounce the R. (OK, I grant you there are other casualties, it's closer to "drore" but hey.)
People who call xyz dudududuh.
Trying to buy shoes on the Internet and the vast majority of sites don't have a photo of the top of the shoe, making it impossible to see the actual shape of the shoe. Then the very few places that do have a top view, have it the wrong way round; my feet face away from my body so why show me a photo of the shoes facing towards me?
When Pringles have become un-nested in the pack.
People who call a bottle a Bidon.
And hills “bergs”.
F*****ts on facebook who are constantly posting memes about how they are "surrounded by idiots", and similar trite bollox. Whilst consistently overlooking the fact, that they are shining beacons of idiocy themselves. All the self awareness of a Greggs sausage roll.
The bell end who parked his VW id5 on pump no 5 at the garage this morning then went inside and did some shopping.
Loads of parking spaces adjacent to the forecourt about 40 yards from the shop.
Car drivers who pull over the pedestrian crossing. Then when the green man comes on, and you're crossing, attempt to run you over. Thunderc****
See also, stoopid idiotic utterly selfish drivers, with small children in child seats, driving at speed looking at their laps and texting.
People saying it's 'miserable' when it's just raining a bit.
In the self service restaurant on the Brittany Ferries from Caen. Just seen grandma and grandpa change the nappy of their grandson (confirmed) on one of the tables with people alll around eating their breakfast.
We already had all the brown sauce we needed with our breakfast, thank you. We moved well away.
People who slob about in scruffy sportswear when they are out and about in public. Sadly the phenomenon has reached epidemic proportions. .
Memorial balloon releases. I'm sure the sentiments there and they mean well, but all that shit has got to land somewhere eventually!
@mattyfez Agreed, I had a 20 minute wait for Wreckfest last week, only play it once in a blue moon though so should have expected it.
I don't think that's disproportionately cross at all @halifaxpete You wouldn't have a memorial dropping of litter but that's what balloon releases are. Helium filled foil balloons are the worst, gggrrrrr!!!!
Push your ****ing chair back under the desk when you leave the office you lazy shitehawk! I mean is it really that hard? It's got sodding WHEELS on it! Oh no, much better to leave it randomly in the middle of a place where people have to walk through and push it out of the way for you!
****ers
Weather forecast for today: Heavy showers, some sunny intervals
Weather this morning: heavy showers, some sunny intervals
I put the washing on the airers inside rather than outside.
MrsMC insists it might brighten up, the forecast might be wrong - I show her the rain radar showing heavy showers coming our way for the next couple of hours.
I go downstairs to get a drink in between meetings - the washing is on the line, pissing wet through in the heavy rain.
Every ****ing time.
Helium filled foil balloons are the worst, gggrrrrr!!!!
On a scale of 1 to Disproportionate, Chinese Lanterns have to be the worst. All the fun of helium balloons, only on fire.

I'd be pushing it well out of the way. Like, down the stairs.
Height restrictions in Imperial units.
A garage I saw in St Ives last week had the height in both metres and feet and inches, but the height was marked as 1.9m and the imperial written alongside it said 6'3"...D'you feel lucky?
There's someone at the practice who keeps leaving their dirty teacup on top of the lockers by the back door, when I catch whoever it is, I will sack them.
the height was marked as 1.9m and the imperial written alongside it said 6’3″
Is that wrong? The difference is 5mm (0.2 of an inch). You'd have to be feeling pretty lucky to cut it that fine anyway!

Launch the teacup out the door. No more issue.

Myself and a colleague removed the factory fitted roof rails on a Transit Custom, to get in the height restricted part of a hospital carpark.
After we had done this, it just fitted.
Of course, by then a space was available in the area with no height restriction.
Had we just waited, no space would have become available, as is the parking in London rule.
The rampant misuse of the word myself. Here's what you should remember: If you didn't already say I in your sentence, you cannot use myself.
Stupid webforms that require date of birth entry but don't auto-shift the 'cursor' to the next box...FTLOG it can't be that sodding hard. It's the 21st century - I should not be expected to have to use the tab key, mouse, or heaven forbid, actually tap on the next box on my phone screen. ?
Surname fields which don't accept apostrophes or capitalisation of more than one letter. Have the coders never heard of people of Irish ancestry?
It's borderline racist, that's what it is!
Grammar Pedantry.

Indeed. I was writing web pages which intelligently moved focus between fields in the late 1990s, it's not rocket surgery.
Surname fields which don’t accept apostrophes or capitalisation of more than one letter.
I'm of the mind that name fields should generally be a single free-form box which says "name." There are plenty of cultures which don't use the firstname-lastname structure and when do you need one but not the other? Chances are they'll just get concatenated to print an address label anyway.
Mandatory "title" fields can get in the sea as well.
Grammar Pedantry.
Should be "Grammar pedantry" unless intended to be a title.

Unless It's Those People Who Capitalise The First Letter Of Every Single Word. I Cannot Fathom Why This Is So Surprisingly Common But It Drives Me Nuts.

I blame the Germans.

As opposed to grammar pendantry, which was my nan's necklace collection.

Then there's PEOPLE who randomly capitalise WORDS in their sentences. I often wonder if they SPEAK like this too, yelling words AT random mid-sentence.
