After last night - 'back-strokers' - people who, in a queue, seem to think that it is the distance they have covered rather than the number of people in front of them that will determine how long the queue will take. Therefore, rather than leave a socially acceptable gap between themselves and the person in front, spend the whole time knocking into them and brushing against them. Seriously, if we're going to be standing in the same spot for 5 minutes, just stand in your own space and stop bashing I to mine - I'm not being a hypocrite - I was NOT constantly brushing up against the person in front of me.

Driving - people who believe there is a new rule that when turning right from a minor to a major, you do the manoeuvre in two stages, firstly driving into the middle of the road and blocking one lane of traffic, then forcing the other lane to stop and let you through. Got no problem if it's a really busy road, where waiting for a gap from both directions could take ages, but it seems that more and more people just do this as a rule of thumb. When did we agree that this was acceptable?

Oh and finally - there is no better indication of our society and how people treat each other in the modern age, than the fact that there are people who exist that don't indicate left when exiting a roundabout. I cannot think of a physical motion with less effort than using your little finger to push down the indicator. Truly, we are in the end of days!

People who fill their cars up with petrol then leave you waiting behind them whilst they proceed to do a weekly shop and order a coffee before returning to their vehicle

People who insist on having extremely loud business conversations on their phones on trains which are clearly for no other purpose than to show everyone how important they are

People who walk along with their phone on speakerphone

Excessive hyperbole use. Everything now has to be "amazing" or "awesome" or just blatantly overstated. One just appeared on FB "This poached egg hack will change your Breakfast Game forever", another food based site frequently states things like "..the secret ingredient of this cake will blow your mind............". No it won't, it really wont (unless it is one of those "special" cakes that I read about once).

Yep, that click bait nonsense KILLS ME SO BAD (is really annoying)

People who spell their child's name in an annoying and un-necessary way.

For example one of the Bolton subs today had a name which is presumably pronounced 'Kane' but for some reason was spelt 'Kaiyne' according to the on-screen graphic.

Pet hates?

When Final Score talk about who is in the running for promotion to the prem. They talk about Boro and Burnley and then forget Brighton and start talking about mid to lower mid table teams. What the fudge is that about? Top three are seperated by literally a game's worth of points and they're talking about mid-table teams. Shit journalism.

Agreed. I work in retail (still haven't got a proper job but you take what you can get i suppose..) my queue annoyance is when people make a point that a queue is moving very slowly for one reason or another and then moan about it to the cashier, making the queue move slower and THEN, after moaning at the cashier about the queue, says "but it's ok, it doesn't matter really."

Jesus.

Having to endure a daily borefest of listening to plastic Korean K Pop songs (it's a widespread virus here in Malaysia) and their immature fangirls who get irritated like neanderthals for even the tiniest bit of lecturing aimed at them. :tosser:

Oh, and being slagged off by gloryhunters who support at least 3 clubs (usually Barcelona, one of the big 5 English teams, and Bayern Munich) for supporting the Albion.

Another vote for the pointlessness that is FB from me. I came off it last year after my missus got completely the wrong end of the stick when i updated my profile pic with something i considered humourous, she thought i was taking the piss out of her and at that point the penny dropped as I realised FB was just a platform for absolute shitpuffinry so I binned it off.

The media's use of the term, 'so-called Islamic State'! Grips my bumlogs that does, thats what we call them ffs its Islamic State there's nothing 'so-called' about it!! You don't refer to the aircraft of so called United Kingdom bombing the twats do you.

Late filtering german car driving self important clungemonkeys that think filtering into the off slip road early like almost every other driver doesnt apply to them so they cut in late in a blaze of brake light wankfestering tossness and force into a gap that isnt there because thats saved them all of 20 seconds in their ever so important lives.

The phrase "one of the only". For example a whiskey advert at the moment says "we're one of the only distilleries in the US to make our own barrels".
Well, you are either the only one or you're not. You can't be "one of the only".

To a lesser degree the phrase "one of the first" I suppose you can be one of the early ones at something, maybe even joint first.

The terms and conditions read out at breakneck pace at the end of radio adverts, usually in the hope that you won't listen and absorb the full horror of the 56 monthly payments you'll be lumbered with or that you could 'lose your house' if payments aren't kept up or the extortionate interest rates they'll be charging.

Linked to the above, loan company adverts and all that payday loan crap they put on TV between programmes they know are predominantly viewed by the working/non-working classes and also the minor celebrities that appear on such adverts or do voice overs for them - wankers.

TV adverts obviously aimed at adults but use childlike themes

Current worst culprit, the B&Q adverts using people dressed up as either hamsters or koalas. Why?

And don't get me started on those bloody Haribo adverts that dub adults with childrens voices :rant:
