Things that annoy you that really shouldn't

Don't get me started about supermarkets!! I actually move people's trolleys when they park them stupidly in the middle of the aisle.

- Kids in supermarkets (just leave them at HOME, or if you're a single mum, with relatives)
- Parents who let their kids put their bogey-infested hands on food and then put stuff back - I once saw a kid put a pepper in their mouth, the mum then took said pepper out, and put it back on the shelf!!
- Those annoying call outs - "If you go to aisle three, you'll see that pampers are half price" I DON'T CARE
- Cashiers who huff at you when you can't pack stuff at 100mph
- Couples who KISS in supermarkets (sometimes couples holding hands fill me with the same rage)
- Cashiers talking to friends / colleagues about their love life / what they're doing tonight, I wouldn't do it at work, neither should they

People who say "Can I get..." when ordering coffee/sandwiches etc. I know it's trivial and it shouldn't wind me up but it does

Cyclists who jump the lights and give us all a bad name (especially those who jump the lights and then cycle at 5mph blocking other cyclists trying to get past).

Ticket inspectors on Brighton-London trains who wake you up when you're trying to get some kip. I know they're only doing their job but it pisses me off no end, particularly when there are ticket barriers at both ends of the journey - totally unnecessary ticket checking

People that answer yes,no (or yeah, no) to a given question.

Eg:

Q - How's the new job going?
A - Yeah no its great

I don't understand what the hell it means or what the person is trying to convey, does anyone else get this?

Yeah, no i know what you mean mate!

Infuriating!!!

There's a woman I work with who, when being spoken to, INSISTS on nodding and trying to say the last word or couple of words of the persons sentence at the same time they are saying it. I don't know if this is some way she has to try to convey her complete understanding or agreement to what it is the other person is saying, but its intensely irritating.

"I'll have a look at that for you once I'm done with this report"
....................................................................................."report"


"Some idiot downstairs has sent this up without signature, I'll pop down there in a minute"
..........................................................................................................................."in a minute"


"If you don't stop mimicking the last words in my sentences, I'm going to twat you in the gob"
.................................................................................................................................."in the gob"


Oh I say Mr 10: you're absolutely bang-on with that. What the HELL is the matter with these morons? Combine that with the hideous questioning intonation at the end of every sentence they utter themselves - & you have an irredeemable talking pariah. They should be permanently GAGGED. :mad:

I know someone who does this to your every sentence.
Its like they played a game when they were little of 'Guess the last word' but they have never got out the habit.

Rene Zellweger, Catherine Zeta Jones, Russell Crowe, Seth Rogan, those high waisted skirts/shorts that girls seem to wear a lot, Andy Grey, excessive packaging, having to change the channel or open the tv guide to get info about programmes on sky (on virgin media, you can get programme info through the now and next on any channel, not just the one you're watching), people asking where all the moaners are after a good performance/win, people who answer any criticism of dick knight with 'he saved the club/if it weren't for him we wouldn't have a cub/ the man can do no wrong', 'the fans need to get behind the team instead of moaning', 'the players are under performing because the so-called fans are on their backs' etc.

The way some people (dean white, mike parry) "mmhmm" and "uh-huh" "yeah" while someone is talking.

Someone at work calls everyone 'hun'.

the word 'iconic'

The overuse of "legend" when refering to almost anyone.

I heard the line the other day on Talk Sport on the phone now is Coventry "legend" Micky Ginn (no not Micky Quinn).........yeah right. :shootself

I bet he is not even a legend in the Ginn household.

The world's two most irritating inventions: taps in public toilets that require you to press the button down to start the water flow, only for the water to stop before you've had the chance to place your hands underneath it. So you have to wash your hands one at a time, holding on to the tap with one and holding the other limply in the water, and can't scrub them.

And on a similar note, motion operated hand driers with the sensor too far back, that start up when you initially place your hands underneath, but switch themselves off the micro-second you actually put your hands under the air-flow, leaving you to wave your hands around aimlessly, trying to restart it. Whereby it switches off again immediately.

:angry: :angry: :angry:

The complete erasure of all top flight football history before 1992 by SkySports.

Like when they give someone an award for being the Premier League's highest ever goalscorer. FFS, people like Ian Rush and Jimmy Greaves scored hundreds of goals for years before the Premiership/League came along, yet their efforts were all in vain, as the likes of Les Ferdinand and Dion Dublin are deemed more worthy of attention for scoring a few in the Sky era, and thus Greaves etc no longer count.
