Planners who don't put the paths where people are obviously going to want to walk. Apparently when York University campus was built they didn't put the paving in until the pedestrians had worn paths in the grass.

Sniffing.
Neighbours who think it is alright to let their flippin' dogs yap constantly and then claim it's not their dogs
<they're moving soon - yeeee bloody haaa>
Sniffing.
Front fog lights when it's not foggy.
Sniffing.
People who don't pick their feet up when walking and just shuffle along...
Sniffing.
I could probably continue, but better stop now
Back again - Have to add another:
Dumbing down of everything. Not all of us in the UK can only manage one syllable so please stop talking to us like we are mentally subnormal, and most of us know that if you decide to jump into water when you can't swim, then, well, you're more than likely going to drown. We don't need signs and fences saying, 'danger, water, danger of drowning' etc etc etc. And that a box of maple brazils (yum
) does not need to have the warning on the box saying it may contain nuts.

Yes. There's a yellow line there on the floor for a reason but hey, their luggage is WAY more important than yours so not only can they stand right next to the carousel, it is their divine right to stand in front of you to get their cases. Drives me mad that. An elderly lady once knocked me over cases she'd put behind me and then went back to get her other one which she swang in to me!

Questionnaires, the NHS seem particularly good at this, that use the most boring unimaginative language possible, eg:
Overall, were you satisfied with the service you received?
Extremely satisfied,
satisfied,
neither satisfied or unsatisfied,
unsatisfied,
very unsatisfied.
How I wish someone would show a bit of spirit and imagination:
Well, do you reckon we did your conversion back to sanity good or not?
HECK YEAH! the sun shines out of the therapist's bum,
Alright I suppose, saved me from topping myself.
Had to go to get the compensation.
Meh! waste of time that was.
Goodbye cruel world...
Guess what came through my letterbox this morning.

Arbitary measurement scales in news articles - "the length of 3 double decker buses". As if I couldn't imagine the length of something described in feet or metres without buses or football pitches as a reference point.

The other post pointing out the error of your ways didn't show up until I'd posted mine. So two of us are right, which is fine by me

I'll agree with this. And any others which are aimed at people's violations of the rules of the road. It's quite simple. It's called The Highway Code.
Stick to it.

A pet peeve of mine is the way the council seem hell bent on ruining/scarring the visual environment. In my case it is Leeds City Council but I am sure it applies everywhere (almost)
In the process they waste resources, man power, and squillions of pounds all so pointlessly.
I can give examples but this isn't the Mundane thread.
