Unless he left it with a full tank of petrol, I wouldn't want it these days anyway.

People who mix up were, wear, we're, there, their, they're and here, hear.
People who use "it's" when it is not a shortened form of "it is".
People who us "of" instead of "have" as in "you should of asked first"
People who say "ast" instead of "asked" and "somethink" instead of "something".
People who use text speak in emails etc.
Drivers who pull out in front of you from side roads when there is miles of empty space behind you. Wait 10 seconds you knob and you would need to force me to slow down. Drivers who do not indicate (especially at RAB's). Drivers who tailgate me when I am already driving at close to the speed limit (most common in 30/40 limits).

In a similar, people on TV usually get out of their cars and walk of and leave the headlights switched on

People in films who try to start a car that has a near flat battery by turning all the lights on first. Then when the battery is nearly dead and the lights have dimmed to nothing pop the 'hood' and spanner something (not the battery), and then the battery is suddenly fully charged again!

cables and wire, deibertely tangling themselves up whe you're not looking into some sort of gordian knot.

That and headphones in your pocket, what the heck happens to them?!

 

[swansonj]

People who ask me for my PIN number. It's a PIN, not a personal identification number number.

That is, of course, an example of RAS Syndrome (RAS=Redundant Acronym Syndrome)

When people use computers on the telly or in films, and the software looks nothing like the software real people use.

and the fact that every single thing that they do on a computer makes a sound

Why is is that women (and, yes it does only seem to be women who do this) wait until everything has been scanned and bagged before deciding they then have to should dig to the bottom of their capacious handbags to get their purse out? Particularly when they've had to wait for the person in front to be served and had plenty of time to get their purses out...

Well, most men don't carry capacious handbags and purses do they? If they did, believe me, they'd be as bad. (IE, some would be ready, some wouldn't)

I carry my wallet in a pocket, so it's always easily to hand.

Mine: People who stand by the conveyor at the checkout next to their little bit of shopping, but who don't move down when the shopping does, so you can't get to the belt to load your own shopping.

[Night Train]

People who call to my house, postie etc., who don't shut the gate behind them.

Those at the TV companies who have the volume of voices in programmes turned down to 3 but the music, adverts, and trailers turned up to 11.

Packets that, no matter how carefully I open them, tear down the length spilling all the Haribo contents everywhere.

That long nasal hair that a friend has poking out of his right nostril. Makes me want to attack him with a pair of tweezers!

 

[snorri]

People who get annoyed over trifles.

Never had any complaints, but I always add a good measure of sherry.

People who jog their dog.
No. The mutt doesn't enjoy it, and neither do you.
