For me it's going to a petrol station and finding people queing, often for 5-10 mins, just so they can use a pump the same side as their fuel cap, despite the fact the opposite pump is free.
Why not just pull the hose round the back of the car????
I tried to do this once (pull the hose round the back of the car) and I couldn't make it reach! I drove away with no petrol, too embarrassed to go round again 😳
The hose from my Henry was getting my goat this afternoon.
Sure it wasn't choking your chicken DD?
The bit of dirt that gets stuck between the air valve and the adjuster eyelet on Fox rear shock (floats) 👿
When groups of people walk 3 or 4 abreast along the street, taking up all the pavement, and none of them think of moving across slightly so other people walking in the opposite direction can pass. It is worse then buggies and prams are involved.
@capt you need a bigger pram, watch them scatter as junior loco's 'rig' rolls towards them 😆
or when people just stroll across the round in rush hour like its a footpath
I think I may have started a similar thread about this previously, but people who leave their engines running while stopped at level crossings MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL.
Sure it wasn't choking your chicken DD?
I've just thrown your coat at you. Get out!
people who hold hands and take up the whole pavement. I'm a miserable old cow though, I usually just bust through the middle of them. My husband wont hold my hand in public so I'm bitter. If I can't have it, no-one should 👿
People who double click on links in web browsers. You only have to do it once, stop it!
goat hunters
People who sit in traffic with their foot on the brake pedal, dazzling everyone behind with their brake lights.
Yes, it's a lovely array of super-bright LEDs Mr BMW Man, now PUT THE ****ING HANDBRAKE ON!!
People who write 'should of' instead of 'should have'.
Apostrophes in the wrong places or missing.
I could keep going, but I think you get the idea.
Pedant? Moi? Hell, yes!
When traffic goes from 2 lanes to 1 I always leave a gap for a car in front of me. If everyone did this there wouldn't be a queue. Does anyone ever go in my lovely gap ( ooer missus) no. They go as far as they can till they have to stop and then have to force their way into the nearside lane. Killing is too good for them.
People (specifically my sister in law) who says "Can I get a vodka tonic?"
It's "Could I HAVE a vodka AND tonic" you pretentious halfwit. Just because you live in that London you think it's much cooler to speak like some hooray Henrietta!
You're from bloooooddddy Birkenhead you jumped up little cow!!!
Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh gggrgrrhnrnr.
And breathe.....
And breathe....
It's niche, not nitch you idiotic American!
wendyball. 😀
Walking down a busy pedestrian street and wanting to punch people in the back of the head because they are walking SOO SLOW!!!!!!
People that type "whether" instead of "weather"... unless it was just my ex.
People who get mixed up with their, there, they're.
On the subject of vocabulary:
People who dont know the difference between 'then' and 'than'. Really? They are two different words FFS!!
There's a guy at work that waves his arms about a lot when talking. Thing is, he does it with his elbows pinned to his sides.
Annoys me a lot, but i dont know why.
economists
flight pricing algorithms
Could I HAVE a vodka AND tonic
No its not, its "May I have a Vodka and Tonic please"
😀
Not being confrontational with the posters above, but I get a bit wound up when people criticise strangers' spelling, grammar and punctuation on the internet.
OK, some people didn't pay as much attention during English as you - but you wouldn't pick them up on it if they used the wrong word in real life and if somebody has a problem like dyslexia then they probably don't need you making them feel bad about it.
People who want let a thread die,
Motorists who dont indicate,
motorists who smoke while driving,
cyclists with no lights,
Threads over 5 pages long,
people who are so jkeen on punktuationing other peeples sentances
Could I HAVE a vodka AND tonic
No its not, its "May I have a Vodka and Tonic please"
🙂
It could be many things, just not "could I get a vodka tonic"
Oh you've set me off again now.......

That last sentence could do with breaking up with a comma after "life" tbh. 😉
I hear you. Totally get it but I got a D @ GCSE english. I crap and I know it. There is one thing getting spelling wrong, or confusing things, I understand that more than many (GF is a special needs teacher). But then/than is such a fundamental thing that it gets my goat. Sorry if it offends.
Folk who don't know their loose from their lose.
Espresso said or spelled out as Expresso.
people who say soya sauce, its soy sauce damn you!
Makes me wonder - do people in other (non-English speaking) countries make similar mistakes with their written language?
People who post a "look at me" thread when deciding not to visit a forum anymore.

Couldn't agree more, my brother-in-law does this and he's a half breed scouser 😆
Another thing that annoys me is people who feel the need to flounce around when they're giving a speech/talk, stay still numpties it's not an audition for Priscilla Queen of the Desert
I think the "can I get a" thing is mainly people who watch too much American TV.
All of the little things that annoy me [i]are[/i] important. Therefore I have nothing for this thread.
Wait a sec; people's shoelaces laced in different patterns by accident. There, I have one. I can see the smallness of this.

I've heard the English language is one of the hardest to learn because of all the different grammer changes.
Not sure about that though.
People who walk with children or a pushchair smoking a fag in front if their child.
Women who speak like blokes and call their female friends "mate" all the time.
Parents who insist on driving their spawn to school and park up in the teacher's car park. DESPITE being told by the school not to!
I could go on....
Anybody who wears a vest in public. Unless involved in an amateur boxing bout.
calling girls and boys or men and women "GUYS"
saying Pacific instead of specific.
People who dont know the difference between 'then' and 'than'. Really? They are two different words FFS!!
I've noticed that aswell, seen it alot. Now then, on the subject of 'aswell' and 'alot'. I'm sure when I was learning English at school, they were part of the English language, but always get spell checked as wrong (I'm even so convinced as to check I'm on English:English not American:English). Am I just confused, did/have they never existed as words?.
People who eat with their mouth open 👿
Banana - no the education system has failed you!
People who eat with their mouth open
Too right! I blame the parents.
Not mad keen on mouth breathers either.
People who throw litter (especially cigarettes) out of car windows. 👿
