Teeny tiny things that drive you nuts out of all proportion

[BigonaBianchi]

people who say they will do something then don't
people who are habitually late
people who just don't understand that I genuinely do not drink alcohol and that they have no right to want me too

 

[phil_hg_uk]

People who want to go on a bike ride but want to stop every 200 yards to use their mobile phone

 

[Cubist]

Brown sauce only with a fried breakfas or sausages and masht. It is anathema if used in any other circumstances.

Pie and peas?

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

People that try to tell you how to do something you've been teaching other people to do for years.

 

[Cubist]

Heretic. Mint sauce is permissible.

I understand you southerners don't know what a hot pork pie tastes like.......

and anyway, apparently gravy is for chips.

 

[flissh]

People who smoke cigarettes outside the door that I need to go through.

News readers who refer to each other and not me. "well Fiona, I'm at the scene of...." my name is not Fiona you twunt.

Watching news casts that are outside buildings, what the point of sending a journalist to report on something then stand outside a building?

Instant coffee.

When the phone bounces off the receiver.

The terms "for free" " up for grabs" "when we come back"

Pesdestians who just stop.

People who walk in front of me when I'm looking at thing on a shelves.

Speed humps.

Police.

Facebook.

Twitter.

People who go on and on and on...

Yep, irritates me too. Why send them all the way to some God forsaken town to stand outside a building at ten at night. Or even worse, do a political report outside No 10. Don't bother, we all know what it looks like.

Uptalk, or high rise terminals, when someones voice gets higher at the end of every sentence drives me bonkers.
Also speaking in a sort of "fashionable" croaky voice. What's that all about. Every man and his dog is doing it.

 

[flissh]

Everythink, somethink, nothink.

 

[flissh]

Insomnia. Why am I up at 03:05 reading CycleChat!

tourists

OH yeah and people who use words like 'travelled' when in reality they've just been on holiday, just because you went for more than a couple of weeks and just because it was a bit more exotic than Spain doesn't make you Marco fuggin Polo, you're a tourist and you went on holiday. This also includes the gap year nobbers AKA the middle-class jolly.

Yes, the up talk get on my tats too, it never used to happen before Ozzy soaps infected tv in the late eighties, though it does seem to be dying down now. I'm not sure what you mean by croaky voice though, I've not noticed that.

I can't say that I have ever noticed it, but I'm sure now that you have pointed it out is going to really annoy me.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

People pointing out things that annoy them that never annoyed you until they alerted you to it and then they start to annoy you too, as if you haven't already got enough of your own stuff. Like...

Public waste bins right next to benches

Bargeboards on gables

People that think just because in their opinion their dog's lovely everyone else must find the stinking, flea ridden mutt adorable too.
