For some reason people leaving their shopping list in their trolley after returning it. Really pisses me off! Not sure why. 😈

This place 76.9% of the time.
And stupid statistics.
See, when he does that thing at 42 secs in?: 'if you can find one, grind me a pound'
Well it's not that, what really gets my micturate into a rolling boil is all that the talking through a cigarette, and that constantly taking his eyes off the road to look at the camera.
😡 :evil:Those little tray things that people have for leaving tea bags on. The bins there, right there 😡

He said petty not pretty 🙂
People who can't properly use superlatives....
Possibly my pettiest Gruppe.
People who put the small trolleys in with the big trolleys or vica versa so they cannt be stacked neatly...drives me ****ing mad how hard is it?
Dog Poo bags in trees. and I can't work out what to do about it.
I usually cycle in a nice woodland SSI and will pick up Mcdonalds wrappers and energy drink bottles but .......
shit drivers
not dangerous per se, they're taken as read, just shit ones - no anticipation, no forewarning of other road users (indicate whilst, or after starting a manoeuvre) zero observation, crashing through potholes'n'shit, clipping kerbs ...
even just seeing a car tortured like that's bad enough
and then you start imagining that you could be cycling on the same road 😯
"me and John" instead of "John and I"
Using adjectives in the place of adverbs
Feet on seats in trains
Matts Wilanders commentary now in the Aussie Open final

I first misread that as:

Fail.
Neither are petty but are proper issues.
Parking on pavements. And This new thing about taking up two parking spaces in a car park. I have a small car and will always carefully squeeze in beside these bellweather's even if it means leaving a two-inch gap. I encourage everyone to do the same so they have to climb in through the boot. 😀
My number one is saying "myself" when it should be "me"
Asking for a cappuccino and getting a massive bucket of scalding hot un frothed milk
Bags of dog poo
Getting dry after a shower, it's so boring!
Toilet roll on the holder the wrong way around.
Poor lane discipline from pedestrians. Is it really that hard to walk in a straight line?
People going into parking spaces forwards, Why? It really really really irritates me which is a rather pointless and pathetic thing to get peeved with.
Also, same as jambourgie, people who park across two spaces, or just not properly within their space. I too make a point of parking in the neighbouring space, albeit properly, thus leaving them with zero space on one side.
people who park across two spaces, or just not properly in their space
no.

Toilet roll on the holder the wrong way around.
But is it?
Anyway my pet peeves.
People who grind to a halt at the top of escalators.
Litter - any litter, yes that includes banana skins.
jambourgie- I have a small car and I do the same as you, squeeze in next to the berks who overlap the lines to point out the error in their ways

I used to love the van for this, just drive in with room for a fag paper on each side, then leave by the back door 🙂
Poor grammar is a proper issue too 😉gobuchul - Member
[b]Neither are[/b] petty but are proper issues
Petty things that amuse me include using "John and me" wherever I can (correctly) do so and imagining the itch inside the heads of some folk 😀John and I
Parking meters in glasgow and edinburgh don't accept 10p coins
People going into parking spaces forwards, Why?
So that their boot is facing the trolley?
When people don't take the plastic film/paper layer off some sort of food item in a tub that also has a plastic lid.
The red light plus one more car mentality that is becoming the norm in our country.
You ****ers got us out of europe so now start behaving like proper English people and stop when the light says stop.
****s.
cyclists who never look over their shoulder and who have rubbish road positioning. Not talking about the student / ned types who ignore everything in the highway code but folk who clearly are regular commuters
things like one bit of road with two lanes going south - the left hand one of which turns left - they cycle on the white line between the two lanes allowing cars to squeeze past on both sides. Makes me shudder
When people take there photo in a mirror but don't turn the camera around so it is no longer in the shot.
Not talking about the student / ned types who ignore everything in the highway code but folk who clearly are regular commuters
I just tried applying the same latitudinal generosity to similar social categories of motorists. I mean car-drivers. And it boiled my wee.
Parking on pavements is the most clear outward display of stupidity obviously but its not petty.
I think is doorway blockers, those people who upon entering a busy building just stop in the narrowest point usually the doorway and decide to look for their purse or wallet.
Please step to the side or my 90kg may bump into you.
Major company websites that ask you to do satisfaction surveys as soon as you land on them
Websites that make you scroll 3 million miles to the bottom of their friendly responsive site, waiting for each new screen to render, just to change the language or region 🙁
Immediately after posting that I got on my scales and it had been turned back to medival weight units.
Thats despite me buying a second set of scales for those in the house prefer lbs and whatever.
Right now thats the top of my petty annoyance list.
People deliberately parking really close to you when you've gone out of your way to park at the back of the car park so your car door doesn't end up looking like the surface of the moon.
Poor lane discipline from pedestrians. Is it really that hard to walk in a straight line?
Oh gods, 100% this. How people can single-handedly block off an entire eight-foot wide supermarket aisle just amazes me.
Similarly, kids that run erratically around the place whilst looking in an entirely different direction (and when they ricochet off my knees it's somehow my fault for standing where they wanted to run). I used to run everywhere when I was little but at least I looked where I was bloody going.
Major company websites that ask you to do satisfaction surveys as soon as you land on them
"Tell us what you think of our website!" I can't, I've not ****ing seen it yet.
Companies that sign you up to their (email / postal) mailing lists without asking whenever you buy anything. "Tell us why you're unsubscribing?" Because I didn't subscribe in the first place you monumental bastards.
I still get regular catalogues from a stationery company after buying an office chair from them fifteen years ago, and Charles Tyrwhitt must have spent more in paper than I ever spent on buying a shirt for my wedding two years ago (and despite me telling them that I wasn't buying anything from them ever again unless they could give me the option of a courier who isn't Yodel).
start behaving like proper [s]English[/s] German people and stop when the light says stop.
FTFY
Confirmation bias maybe, but it seems to me that red-light jumping is on the increase, both in quantity and severity. It's not uncommon to see two or three cars follow someone who's already shot through as it's turning red.
I had a cyclist do it to me on a motorway roundabout a little while ago. You know the ones where one set turns green the instant the other turns red rather than being on a second or so's delay? It's a good job I always look around rather than blindly assuming "green = go" or he'd have landed somewhere on the M60, asshat.
People eating crisps in my office.
People who dress in sports wear when not doing sport, and lifestyle dressers.
lifestyle dressers
?
Some sort of cupboard I think. Ikea probably have a range of them.
McDonalds & everyone who eats their shite.
Should be nuked from orbit.
GU10 light fittings.
The courgette shortage.
The guy at the local model shop with the VOTE UKIP poster.
Cardboard packaging on yogurts.
People who reverse into parking spaces then drag their shopping bags up the side of my car to get to their boot.
G9 light bulbs.
People who leisurely pack their bags while still at the checkout in Aldi or lidl.
Valve cores that keep unscrewing while I'm trying to pump the tyre up a little bit.
Drivers who stop tight to the centre of the road while waiting to turn left, thus blocking anyone from turning right - or vice versa.
Children standing in supermarket trolleys. I don't wan't your dirty little shoes where I put my food.
Drivers who stop tight to the centre of the road while waiting to turn left, thus blocking anyone from turning right - or vice versa
also, drivers who pull right up to the line when turning left out of a t-junction, thus blocking the view of drivers having the harder task trying to turn right
1. Inconsiderate parking, especially when it's on my road. Yes, I said MY road.
And
2. Extroverts who impose their need for noise on the rest of us.
Rear fog lights used at the slightest hint of mist and a mile or more visibility.
And then forgetting to turn them off for the next month.
Music.
People eating crisps in my office.
They are doing this deliberately to piss you off, there can be no other reason, they probably do other shit like wear scarves and pointy shoes, spill a hot brew on their head.
Snotty sneering back chat.
If you don't like my opinion, keep it to your narrow minded insular self. Nobody wants to hear you whine like a 3 year old child.
The shoe event horizon.
I could have bought a house in the time it's taking to find "a pair of cheap black shoes to go with my black dress"
People who stop in doorways, get the **** out of my way shitstick!
Noisy eaters and people with colds.
'NO TURNING' signs. As Bill Bryson pointed out, possibly the two meanest words in the English Language.
People who dress in sports wear when not doing sport
Fat people who dress in sports wear when not doing sport.
My wife's insistence on switching the kettle and microwave off at the mains.But not the telly.
Cycle mudguards that end at hub level and still spray following riders. Their owners are all smug that they have guards fitted though.
Dog turd bags in the country side. Just kick it into the edge of the path and it will be eaten.
"Cyclists dismount" signs on cyclepaths? If you need to get off your bike the cyclepath is not fit for purpose!
Around my way there are loads - but recently a couple of the more stupid have been changed to "cyclists give way to pedestrians" which is rather more sensible.
One day I am going to either make up some stickers to change then to "cyclists are amazing" or just take some spanners and remove them all.
Those metal barriers on cycle paths that are designed to thwart the working classes on motorbikes.
Hot shops. Now, I know it's winter and everything but I'm walking round the high street and I'm wearing my jacket.
Please, why the **** do the shops need to be heated to 30c and the employees in short sleeve.
Give them a ****ing jumper or top and turn the temp down so I can shop without having to get undressed or que under and ****ing blast heater while some old biddy slowly pays and packers her bags.
Also. M&S this is at you. Why the **** you insist on taking ever ****ing inch of available counter top with irrelevant shit. Move the ****ing tat and give me some her to put my bag wheels I pack it.
Stupid people who leave their trolls in the walkway while they go off searching for things.
People who take ages to pack and pay.
People who must use the petrol pump on the side with the filler.
Bin men who can't be bothered to return my bin to the same postcode I live in.
Postmen who thing putting my door mat on large size items will render it invisible to anyone walking by.
People who dress in sports wear when not doing sport, and lifestyle dressers.
Does this include trainers even thoiugh I'm not currently training and a sweat hoody in spite of not being a boxer?
My pet hate is people recognising that they've maid a mistake and rejecting the correction because they can't be arsed.
When you're at the till at Rynan stationery and they always ask you if they can interest you in a rubbish biro for a quid.
Plastic packaging that you can only open with scissors.
Drivers who stop in the middle of the road to talk to friends in a car travelling in the opposite direction who have also stopped...innit
Anyone in sportswear when not doing sport
Anyone is running specific wear when not running - ok on a young attractive member of the opposit sex I can just about tolerate it but no one else.
Tesco. I always feel robbed when leaving.
Sports direct charge for click n collect - robbing buggers
Supermarket staff who leave their warehouse cage in the aisle directly opposite their colleague so you cant get more than one person down the aisle at a time. Or the Delivery picking staff who walk around at 90mph straight to the item to pick and leave the trolley directly in front of what I'm trying to choose.
Or other customers who walk in front of me when I'm trying to choose. Ive stepped back so I'm not blocking the shelves and can see all the choices (or trying to find what I want) and then they stand in my way.
I don't go to the supermarket often for exactly these reasons. Grr.
So much to agree with 🙂
Pedestrians with no/poor lane discipline - stop, start, turn left, turn right....no brake lights or indicators.
Train passengers putting their feet on seats - ignorant twunts who then yap when you ask/tell them not to.
Another train one - passengers who don't understand that quiet carriage regs also apply to them.
Supermarket trolleys being left anywhere in the carpark by shoppers: if all stores used the £1 deposit which is refunded when trolley returned to designated area and connected to neighbour with security chain.....
People who buy cheapest possible item in coffee shop and then spend hours at a table for 4 on their laptop making loud phone calls and have their crud spread all across the table.
WH Smith - would you like to buy any of our discounted (short dated) chocolate products and, just to keep you going, here's a f*****g unwanted voucher for some shit I have no interest in.
Chuggers - they should be forcibly removed by vigilantes.
And agree with Essel about Macdonalds.
People in general.
Having to create an account on an online shop before they reveal postage charges.
People who leisurely pack their bags while still at the checkout in Aldi or lidl.
Or people for whom the idea of payment after passing through a supermarket checkout is such a surprising notion that a major handbag search is needed to find the means to do it. 🙄
People who video with their mobile in portrait not landscape, I'm particularly thinking of the XXXX stood in front of me at last weeks Black Sabbath gig.
Round my way its people who are turning left into a side road who come to complete standstill to enable a car emerging from the side road to turn right.
Thus making the queue of cars behind on an A road, all come to standstill too, and then they have the audacity to allow 2 or 3 other cars out if they are waiting behind car #1, before turning into the sideroad themselves.
I just go round them now.
Stupid people who leave their trolls in the walkway while they go off searching for things
leave your trolls at home!
[b]Do you have a reservation, sir?[/b]
No, given that 80% of your tables are empty I assume that this would not be necessary
[b]Let me check[/b]
Dont bother, I will go somewhere more welcoming
People going into parking spaces forwards, Why?
Please explain how you manage to get the shopping into the boot of your car when shopping at the supermarket, then; enquiring minds would like to know.
People who leisurely pack their bags while still at the checkout in Aldi or lidl.
Where else are they supposed to pack their stuff? Or are they supposed to put everything back into the basket/trolley and take it out into the carpark and put it into their bags?
[i]Poor lane discipline from pedestrians. Is it really that hard to walk in a straight line?[/i]
Yep, that one.
Where else are they supposed to pack their stuff? Or are they supposed to put everything back into the basket/trolley and take it out into the carpark and put it into their bags?
That is the idea. it is what the window ledge at the back is for and why the tills don't have a chute and a bagging area.
Where else are they supposed to pack their stuff? Or are they supposed to put everything back into the basket/trolley and take it out into the carpark and put it into their bags?
They are supposed to use the packing shelves.
And this is definitely not petty for some hardcore Lidl shoppers.

Not going to Google that.
The latest driving thing I've seen is drivers screeching to a halt on a roundabout to let someone pull out of the next exit.
Fat people who dress in sports wear when not doing sport.
People who think "fat people" are fair game for a spot of piss-taking. Try it with brown people and see how far you get.
Postmen who thing putting my door mat on large size items will render it invisible to anyone walking by.
I came home just before Christmas to find a parcel wedged under my door handle. You know, for maximum stealth.
Plastic packaging that you can only open with scissors.
I was once in one of those pretentious tattery shops - you know, the ones that sell gadgets you never knew you needed, like electric olive de-stoners, Lakeland or some such - and spied they had a special tool for opening those impenetrable blister pack things. Sold in a blister pack. Maybe they were hoping you'd buy two, or an infinite number or something.

Ooooh, I know. Gig ticket vendors that charge you P&P for the privilege of having you print out your own bloody e-tickets.
