1 - Text speak of any form whatsoever. Just stop it. It comes across as pathetic and immature. The older you are the more pathetic it is.

2 - When the lady/gent at the gate says 'all passengers seated in rows 1-15 can now board...' she means rows 1-15 not 25-50 or 20-32 or any other combination. The flight wont leave without you wait until you are asked to board!

3 - The very second the seatbelt sign goes off and the brakes go on don't think reaching or clambering over me to get your hand luggage will get you home any earlier. I shall look forward to standing next to you at the baggage claim. Cretins.

4 - Management bulls***e speak. It's not 'blue sky thinking' or 'running stuff up a flagpole' or 'starting with a blank canvas and throwing some paint on to see what emerges'. Take it from me you are not 'thinking outside the box' or 'pushing the envelope' you are a grade A class 1 twat in a bad suit.

5 - Mate you are in the changing room at the gym, take the blue tooth ear piece out. I'm sure the call from the prime minister can wait a while, you are not that important.

6 - Sweetie, I love you to bits but if you wanted chips f***ing order chips! stop reaching over and taking mine!

7 - Please if you must smoke stop standing in the door way doing it.

8 - Thank you, I'd love a cup of coffee but please let the kettle go off the boil for a few minutes first, coffee should not be made with boiling water.

I could go on...

7 & 8 really boil my pee. Drives me up the feckin wall that does especially the chip thing.

On the subject of car parking - people, usually BMW or Audi drivers who feel the need to parp using multiple spaces to protect their precious cars.

I have news for you - my Peugeot 205 is narrower than most modern cars and can often be fitted in about an inch away from your driver's door so you need to get in the passenger's side

I do that, but its a x-type jag, so tends to be rather tight.

Saw a bmw in the hospital car park near me a little while ago that had a ticket for taking 2 spaces

Nothing at all, I am an amazingly tolerant person.

 

[EltonFrog]

People who are really tolerant, have a tendency to get my dander up too.

The idiot who parks his Renault Megane in this street and has the alarm go off at least twice a day. It still hasn't been stolen....

I can relate to that one. We have a blue car in our close and the alarm goes off incessantly. The owners do nothing about it, the police are not interested and the housing association say its not one of their tenants but a private let so they can't do anything.

No3, yes. We chuckle as we stay seated whilst everyone else scrambles for their stuff and yes, they are still standing at baggage reclaim when we get there. What is the point?

 

[the_mikey]

Radio presenters saying things like 'a big shout out'. They are not shouting.

Stop listening to Rinse FM.

 

[Arch]

People who ask you an open question and let you get 2 words out and then talk over you about something totally different.

In a similar vein, people who ask you for directions to somewhere, and then start to walk away before you're finished telling them. In York, directions are often quite complicated and require references to landmarks, but you'd think they'd stay to hear all of it.

We do too, although once we did have to make a dash for it to catch a connecting flight in Qatar.
They all get caught up at passport control too

People who unclick their seatbelt on the plane when its landed but still taxiing.

Must be a decent % on this forum as so many people seem to do it. Do you honestly think you'll get off the plane quicker? Absolute morons.

And to reward you for 'getting off the plane quicker', the baggage handlers will recognise your initiative by ensuring your particular bag is first off the carousel before they even consider putting the other passenger's bags on. And I hope you get a crick in your neck for standing there with your head at an unnatural angle to 'speed up your egress'.

The older I get the more things seem to annoy me and I do find myself grinding my teeth quite a lot but then I think 'life is just way too short to dwell on bad stuff' Took me a long time to deal with TVC's accident and I still get angry when I think of what happened but great things have come of that so I try to look at the positives rather than dwell on the negative, easier said than done sometimes I know but life really is too short.
