The Great Cornholio

As we are being overrun with Under 18 style threads, I thought I'd start one for us older people. Bit of a Room 101 thing - just post what irks you.
Here are a few of mine to kick it off.
Service Station prices - 45p for a packet of Fruit Gums?
People kicking up a fuss about the possible relaxation of gaming laws - adults should be free to do what they want. By the same token, it is ridiculous to allow anyone Under 18 to gamble on anything. £5 jackpot fruities can be played by anyone and they are one of the most addicitive draws into gambling.
The spurious arguments put up by Pro Fox Hunting or Pro Smoking. Just admit it is fun for you. Don't insult my intelligence by saying that the fox doesn't suffer or there is no link between cancer and passive smoking.
Price fixing by electrical stores. As much as they deny it, we all know it goes on.
Game only reducing the price of their games when a local store has forced them. You can get a game for £32.99 in one Game and £39.99 in a Game 10 miles down the road.
CD's still costing more than tapes. You can buy a blank CD for 8p these days.
Courier companies continually trying to deliver stuff at 11.30 am. We have to work. dammit.
Piers Morgan - I can't believe it took so long to get rid of him. He cost the nation hundreds of thousands of pounds with the retrial of Woodgate by printing Sub-judicial comments in his rag. Then he gets found guilty of insider dealing and gets off.
Police cars that do 50 mph on motorways, trying to entice speeders but only creating huge tailbacks as people overtake them at 51 mph.
People who brake hard at speed cameras, taking their speed from 30 mph down to 20 mph. They go off at 37 - not 30.00000000000001.
Middle lane hoggers.
Old people who do 20 mph less than the speed limit everywhere. If you can't handle a car at speed limits then you shouldn't be allowed control of a lethal weapon.
Car Parking charges. 40p per 15 minutes in Portsmouth yesterday. Don't you want people to shop there? They provide nice food courts that people won't use because they need a second mortgage to pay for the time it would take.
Don't get me started on Traffic Wardens in Hove! They have cut down the number of spaces to about the ratio of 1 warden to 1 space.
I'll stop now else I'll be here all day. Feel free to vent your spleens.
