@vickypea I have a colleague who uses them at the end of about 1/3 of all the sentences she writes? Even if it's not a question? Sets my teeth on edge.

Is she Australian.
Nothign to do with [i]people[/i] this one. The Wind! Just those days where the trees aren't moving, there looks like there's no wind and yet, when you start riding, it's blowing against you whichever direction you go. Like this morning. Bastard wind.
And Nationwide "poetry" adverts. Really make me wanna kick the telly in.
Kettle thieves
I fill the kettle, switch it on and ctsck on with a little bit of work knowing that it will be ready for use in a few minuted.
I return to the kettle to find it empty as some other person has stolem my hpt water, left the scene and hasnt bothered to refill the kettle and switch it back on again
Another vote for stupid weather, hate those days when the weather decides be blazing sunshine one minute then pissing down the next. BBC Weather also seems to just put every symbol under the sun most days, so basically they don't have a clue.
Car heater controls being included in a touch screen rather than physical buttons. Not only is it annoying, but also downright dangerous. Just give me a big f-off dial for my A/C, Climate or heater please!
Completely irrational, but the prick who parks his car outside my house every day and doesn't move it until about 9pm.
I get that it's a public road so he can park there if he wants. But there's loads of parking, literally 10 feet up the road, that's not outside anyone's house. He even walks past it after parking outside our house.
Means that when my wife gets home she has to park further up the road as we have no drive.
I do appreciate this is completely insane but I think working from home has sent me a bit rear window.

Or. as we call them in the West of Scotland, days
"I saw it with my own eyes". Is there any other way?
"Redoubling efforts". No, you're just increasing your efforts.
"Doubling down". That'll just be focussing then.
Could of, would of, should of, etc.
Innit.
You get me?
Fam, cuz, etc
Blud.
People, usually from the Home Counties, talking as if they've been raised in some Jamaican ghetto.
Can I get...
People who don't understand the value of please and thank you.
Miserable f##ktards who just moan about their job but don't do anything about it, for years and years and years...If it's that bad, leave. If not, shut up.
People speeding through my village.
Pepole not picking up their dog's poo.
People in Asda, Ikea, Morrisons, etc, who shout and swear at their children.
Racists, of all denominations.
Feminists who hate all men and think we're all to blame for their woes.
That bellend in the car, we've all met him whilst on a ride.
Bin bags that are thinner than a sheet of graphene.
People who drop their McDonalds out of their car window.
People who litter in general.
Trump, and his supporters.
All of the above can get in the sea.
New electronics that are not usb C and/or wireless chargeable.
People who don’t read the OP before posting loads of words. Like, list loads of stuff when the op says “ Is there one thing that gets you going?” Ha.
Every other expert or knowledgeable person interviewed on the news/ newsnight who starts their sentences with the word 'SO'.... Once you notice it, there's no avoiding it, it's everywhere.
This seems to have appeared a few years ago and has been adopted as common parlance whenever there is a need to evoke authority on the subject.
This really gets my goat.
They used to start sentences with "Look".I believe Blair was the instigator for that.
For myself,I'm starting to get mildly annoyed that all the blackcurrants in my jam are situated at the top of the jar which results in fruit heavy toast for a couple of days followed by fruitless and jelly heavy toast on subsequent mornings.
No,I'm not going to stir it as i prefer to moan.
Folk that don't wear their ****ing face coverings properly. Or at all. For **** sake it's an easy request, wear a face covering over your mouth and nose.
Tempted to get some t-shirts printed up along the lines of
"Don't be a dick..
😷
Wear your mask properly.."
Even had an older woman, no mask about 2 foot behind me in a queue... ArgHGH!
greenwashing. That gets right on my goat. No your two tonne monster SUV is not green just 'cos it has a hybrid drivetrain. No recycling your nespresso capsules will not make up for using the ruddy unneeded things in the first place
Just as the second wave is gathering momentum, Royal Mail want to re-introduce van sharing. Back in March, the colleagues I van shared with for less than 20mins total (in small bits around delivery area) while I was completely asymptomatic, both self-isolated ~5 days later.
