What things annoy you - even though they shouldn't really?

[DavidRyder]

I was compelled to start this post after watching Glastonbury on TV.

For me, something that always irritates me is festival go-ers that sit on the shoulders of their boyfriends. Seems to be nothing to do with getting a better view - more like, I'm gorgeous and it's more important that people see me than it is important that the people behind can actually see the stage.

Irrational I know, seeing as I'm on my sofa - I'm speaking up on behalf of those affected!

In the olden days, such people would have been easy targets for a bottle of urine being thrown at them...

On the Glastonbury theme...seeing as it's just been on...presenters who declare every single set as amazing, superb, ground-breaking etc.

Sometimes, performances are crap, or you don't like the band. Tell it like it is!.

Reminded by another thread. "Inter Milan" and "AC Milan".

Referring to Inter Milan is like saying London Arsenal. It's simply not their name. And we don't incessantly refer to Liverpool FC on the TV, it's just Liverpool.

It's "Inter" (or Internazionale) and "Milan".

Idiots like me that struggle to post pictures or tweets on NSC.....really annoy me

TV previews at the start of almost every show . Bad enough as generally ruins all the best bits but now you get previews of each section to entice you to stay when the adverts come on . Totally ruins any surprise the show may hold .

You can also lump film trailers into this . Absolute spoilers and ruined many a film .

You need a bit of advertising but it's all got so extreme .

People walking down the high street and eating at the same time. I know we all have less spare time these days etc but take a minute, sit on a bench, enjoy your food. Especially prevalent on weekday lunch times as hordes of office workers cram pastries and cream fancies from Greggs into their faces. It doesn't affect me, it doesn't hinder me but it does annoy me.

Especially when they more and more frequently nowadays say "it does what it says on the tin" Even when that particular product doesn't even come in a tin !

The phrase" raising awareness of" gets on my man boobs!

The increasing number of people on NSC who write then instead of than. My irrational reaction to it is way beyond what it should be.

Another one from me - and I admit this is VERY petty. Film posters where the names above the stars pictured don't match! Quite often you'll get a nice uniform pic of 4 people in a row - then the names above don't tally. I know this is probably because of what stars are demanding as top billing etc, but it's just a small irritation that is very petty indeed!

Receiving telephone calls from a machine and not having the option to tell the machine to feck off.

Oh and the machine station announcer which personally apologises for the train being delayed or cancelled.
