What really GRINDS YOUR GEARS?

[Notters]

People who have to say 'Like' every 2 or 3 sentences, I was like and he was like so I was like.

People who have waited 10 mins for a bus and then only look for their ticket once they are on the bus.

People who have been shopping and only once they realise they have to pay decide to look for their purse/wallet

TV programmes that give too much away in the "coming up after the break/next week" or the adverts.

Adverts that give away the cliffhanger on last weeks show before you can watch this weeks on catch up, Oh so they didn't die at the end of last weeks episode then as there they are running about in the advert!!!

Cold callers, despite being on the TPS.

People who seem unable to drive a consistent 40mph in Handcross Hill roadworks, either 35 or 42 mph.

People who still haven't fathomed that the camera at the end of the roadworks is not a speed camera, therefore slamming on your brakes because you are doing 42mph isn't an issue.

Handcross Hill roadworks.

American TV series that get cancelled just when they were getting good.

People that move into an area and then complain about stuff that has been like that long before they arrived e.g. pubs with live music etc..

This one gets me every time!

• People who film videos in portrait.
• People who use Comic Sans for anything. Ever.
• People who say "are" instead of "our".
• People who say "there's hardly any difference" between standard def and HD.
• People who press the up and down button when waiting for lifts when they just want to go up.
• Indicators in modern cars which you have to cancel with the slightest tap or else you'll indicate in the opposite direction.
• Windscreen wipers that automatically go when you squirt the washer.. even if your washer has run out.
• People who actually touch your computer screen instead of just pointing.
• Wireless Printers.

People who get irritated by trivial things? Try a glass of wine and some Van Morrisson

 

[maltaseagull]

Starting a sentence with "you know what?"

you know what? I hadn't ever thought of that until now

 

[Smirko]

TV Companies that turn the volume up automatically in the Ad breaks
People walking slowly in front of you
People driving with their indicators flashing, completely oblivious - it's a flashing light on your dashboard making a ticking noise FFS!!
Stupid charity challenges on Facebook
Drivers who when they reach an airport engage "Airport Brain"- no indication, lane changing, missed turnings, getting lost.
Self scan checkouts
Personal to me - always spelling conform like conform - conform dammit, doh I meant confirm!!

 

[tinycowboy]

Starting a sentence with "you know what?"

Starting a sentence with "Get this"
Starting a sentence with "Put it this way"
Starting a sentence with "Listen up"

I could go on, but I don't want to come across as grumpy.

 

[maltaseagull]

People saying to waiters or bar staff "Can I get?" Another Americanism spreading

 

[narly101]

A few from me;

- People who stop at the top or bottom of an escalator.
- People who don't queue or think it's somehow beneath them - yes kids, you lot who think you can rock up and get on a bus before the entire queue who was there first
- People who try and get on a tube before the passengers have disembarked
- People who stand in shop doorways/middle of the pavement/generally in the way when the world is trying to get past
- Spitting
- Shrink wrap. If I ever meet the man or woman or worm who invented shrink wrap i'll shrink wrap the f*cker and set light to him
- Reality TV shows - all of them. Even the music ones. Every single one of the tired, monotonous drivel that exudes from the telly every day of the fricking week. Especially the celebrity ones (apart from Sarah Harding in a leotard)
- The carnage that I usually find in Trap 2 at work where someone has decided to explode in spectacular fashion after a heavy night on the beers and curry and has no intention of clearing his own shit up.

I could go on, but work calls me.

 

[Chinman3000]

People who drive slowely.
People who take forever getting out of a junction / roundabout.

People who say 'H' (Hach) instead of 'H' (Ach).
People who say Expresso

Loud, pumped up, tattoed blokes who think they are hard as nails and are thick as f***
Skanky / poor people.

Peoples kids.

Tomato sauce in the fridge

 

[mikeyjh]

My iPhone dings at 8:15 every morning, I have no idea why. I cannot wait to replace it, stupid thing.

 

[Puppet Master]

This bloody thread appearing on here at least once a month.

 

[Kosh]

People who drive in the outside lane on a motorway at 80mph and then get upset when I'm up their arse, flashing my lights, as I want to drive to my cars capabilities @ a cool 140mph. Don't you understand how utterly exasperating it is for me and my fellow BMW drivers to have to deal with you law abiding a r s e h o l e s?!? I need to shave an average of 3 mins off my journey, just to prove how enormously massive my appendage actually is... This is very important and naturally I never, ever get done for driving at such a speed. I'm above the law, beyond the pale and yes an utter, utter t w a t.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. This really, really gets up my hooter. It's 'please can I have....' The staff will get it for you.....

 

[Meade's Ball]

Drivers who expect me to wave gratefully for them stopping at zebra crossings so that I can unkillingly continue my walk.
Gary Barlow.
I saw a man in his late 50s release a small poodley dog of his so that it could chase a squirrel the other morn. I disapproved and stared with such a glare. So I abhorred the man, the dog for being a dog because I don't like dogs, and myself for only ever giving the most silent and cowardly protestation.
Cyclists who I constantly overtake on journeys who then pass me and pause when I'm stopped at a red light. I am going to have to be riled behind you now aren't I, you div, until we go through this process to my detriment around another 200m from now.
The posters and trailers for The Riot Club.

 

[Simgull]

'Hand Torn Lettuce Leaves' - frankly I would rather you used a knife as it would be more hygenic

Any menu that by the time I have read the pretentious, overlong description of the item, I have forgotten what it basically was in the first place. (Terre a Terre - guilty)

Near empty Gatwick Express trains sailing past Clapham Junction occupying line capacity and making everyone else late

The holier than thou mythical images around Arsenal and Liverpool

Coffee that is ordered 'wet' or 'dry' (Surely it can only be wet?)

That way they show highlights of goals in sped up/slowed down/juddery angles so that you can't actually see what happened.

My iPhone dings at 8:15 every morning, I have no idea why. I cannot wait to replace it, stupid thing.

That's called an 'alarm'.

Hope this helps

 

[Prince Monolulu]

That's called an 'alarm'.

Not just any old alarm though, an APPLE alarm mind.

 

[Deanbha]

Women on Facebook who post pictures of themselves out eating with the caption "ladies that lunch" Bloody rotters.

 

[pasty]

This, but so much more so.

the things I've listed on this thread are stuff that is irritating, or rude, and basically annoying.

The texters at the wheel are every bit as bad as drunk drivers in my book, and it needs to become far more socially unnacceptable. I'd ban them from driving for life - seriously. there is literally NO excuse for it. Zero tolerance.

Worst I've seen was a guy driving through the s-bend where Queens Park Road goes into Egremont place at about 35 mph, whilst shaving with an electric razor! F**Kwit

 

[Weststander]

Drivers, who in a clear situation of you kindly letting them pass, don't acknowledge that with any form of thanks.

Middle and outside lane hoggers, not overtaking any other vehicle. Now a driving offence, good, but not sure if it's ever enforced.

Bullies of any age, class, situation, including subtle schemers. Love it when they get their come-uppence, one way or another ... which seems to happen (spooky .... Karma?).
