People who block the pavement with their cars.
Aujourd'hui my goat is getting got by an excess of musical instruments cluttering up my house.
In anticipation of an imminent lockdown the kids school is sending instruments home so kids can practice at home. We already have lots of instruments thanks.
I was kinda OK with the glockenspiel but the drum kit is really taking the piss now.
I feel your tim-pain-ee.

People who complain about grammar usage and then forget to use a full stop to end the sentence.
Touché Sir.
Headwear manufacturers who claim "one size fits all" No it doesn't you pinheaded ****ing cretins!

Ha ha, yep.
Back when I read MBUK they used to give away a free beanie every year "one size fits all". I looked like I was on my way to Temple to celebrate Yom Kippur in it.
Bell end house sellers and estate agents who put houses on the market with a closing date 1 or 2 days after listing. I assume it's to create some false sense of urgency but mainly seems designed to minimise effort on the part of the agent.
Seen a couple of houses we wanted to see go like this and then be relisted because presumably someone had rushed in with an offer of million dollars only to cool on it and back out.

For reading through half of this page.
People who drop a fancy but unnecessary foreign phrase into their sentence when we have such a wonderfully rich language with a woefully under used vocabulary. That's annoying, n'est-ce pas?
That’s annoying, n’est-ce pas?
Hai
"off of"
"going forward"
Dropping the word "to" from sentences ie "Can I go toilet" or "Jump in the pool."
"Can I get"
People who drop their H's. ie 'ouse, 'arry, 'ello etc
"I can care less."
"1 through 10" instead of "1 to 10."
Swop out.
Horse-back riding.
Race-car driving.
etc.... etc..... etc...
The pavement parking thing.
I could almost see the point if doing it meant the road wasn't blocked. But most of the time half a car on the road means half a lane blocked which is the same as blocking all of the lane as most people don't drive half of a car.
So instead of blocking one lane with a parked car they have blocked one lane AND most of the pavement.
Royal Mail "tracking". It's not tracking. It just says "we've got it". At some point in the future it may say "delivered". Even Serco could do a better job of tracking.

Careful now with your nuanced chat, it doesn't fit into the latest thinking that pavement parking is "universally hated".

Je repose ma valise.
The ubiquitous use of ‘gift’, ‘gifted’ as a verb, instead of ‘give’, ‘gave’.

The pavement parking thing.
I always hated pavement parking. It's commonplace where I live and I always refused to do it. After my third overnight near-writeoff because I stuck out a foot further than everyone else's I now park up on the pavement also.
Groups of gnar-bros clogging up not only the entry to the next rad line they’re going to shred but also the fire road between trails making social distancing on a ride in the countryside a thing of the past.

The virus can't touch you if you're enjoying your hobby, that's a fact!
See, pretty much any YT channel, MTB or otherwise for details.
"The pavement parking thing"
Yes! Not talking about two wheels up on the kerb parking laziness, but full on all-four wheels totally blocking the pavement, usually leased new-ish Golfs/small BMW's/Merc/Audi with blacked out windows...

"[i]du jour[/i]" meaning "of the day"?
Well today it's cars hooting their horn aggressively at a cyclist they have perceived to have pulled out on them on a roundabout, when they're actually nowhere ****ing near! Why not just chill, instead of hooting and accelerating, you utter moronic piece of shit?!
Pretty much everything about this:
People who don’t use the phrase “it really grinds my gears” when the opportunity arises.

Free MemberPeople who repeat the same story, anecdote etc., to you a short time after telling you. Why do you not remember telling me this? I listened, I responded, I found it interesting or funny or shocking, or pretended I did, and then you go and repeat it the following day! I detest this and am very mindful of this, I don’t do it.
I do this, just because I like telling stories and I don't have a detailed log of who I've told them to.
But, if it makes you feel any better, they do change a bit every time.
Self-isolate. There really is no need for the self part. Before 2020 people used to just isolate.

You can enable the "fancy editor" in your profile settings, which gives you the preview function. It's disabled by default because it has a tendency to bollocks up pasted text but feel free to try it.
Even Serco could do a better job of tracking.
I doubt it.
In the same vein as the OP, cars that overtake within the zig-zag area of a pedestrian crossing.
*Waves at my fellow curmudgeons*
If you are told to isolate are you still self-isolating?
That really boils my piss.
The kettle?

Still upset your proof for the four colour map theorem wasn’t accepted?
I was going to say "get a life" to all you miserable sods but then...
walking pairs who instinctively head for opposite sides of the path to let you pass.
...and yes. Me too.
Morons who walk around staring at their phones. I tend to just walk into them, which gives them a shock when they look up and see a 6'5'' heavily tattooed bloke staring down at them.

Jury’s still out until we find what exactly it was you put in the trouser press.
Those things are great for reheating pizza.
pavement parking annoys me. On the estate I live, it is rife. And not because people don't have a drive way to park on, but because it already has a car on it, despite being space for two. As if they both park on the drive, they might have to shuffle cars around, depending on who is leaving the house. Oh the inconvenience of it. Instead just block 2/3's of the pavement.
And people that don't recycle and/or make no effort to consume less. Scumbags.
Instagrammers. How is that a living. The effort people make to get a single photo, the mind boggles. And I wonder how many of the scantily clad females realise they are getting 'likes' due to half their boobs hanging out, rather than the really deep and meaningful caption they wrote below it.
In fact, anyone who invests more than a few minutes a day into social media is a fool. It is the cancer of the 21st century.
Oh and noisy eaters.
The list goes on....
People who go "mmm...mmmm.mmm....mmmmmmm" when eating.
People who say 'everythink' when they mean 'everything'.
And politicians, all of them, just ###k right off!
Or the small road works where you can see no one at the opposite end of the 30yds and diligently sit there for ages until the green light shows
There's probably a forum in an alternative universe where someone is complaining about me overtaking them and driving through red-lights a couple of times for that. 😈

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they know what's generating the views and likes, and that's how they can make a living at it.
Old people who go "ahhhhhhh" after a sip of tea or "oof" when standing up. Like I do now.
People who wear caps the wrong way round. Why? If you don’t want the peak then wear a beanie or another hat without one.
People who think the public road outside of their house is their road, it's not.

There is a young and attractive Asian girl drumming on YouTube. I’m sure the stockings and suspenders are essential to her technique.
