The Aussie fanatics was a manufactured group as a response to the verbal beating the Aussie players recieved by the Barmy Army. I didn't know it had spread to tennis.

They really are a bunch of gobby boorish twats. I wouldn't have cared before, but now I really hope Hewitt loses.

The sound of mastication is absolutely appalling and when that is coupled with crumbs of food around the mouth that just sit there it really gets my goat. Totally ridiculous, I know.

When there's only one checkout open at the grocery store and you're next in line with a long queue of people behind you, then a member of staff opens up another checkout and everyone at the back of the queue goes running to that one so that they're served and out of the place while you're still standing there waiting! Really pisses me off as it is only common courtesy that the next person in line should go first.

Maria sharapova grunting when playing tennis....I had to turn off the tennis this afternoon as it was really winding me up.
The " Aussie fanatics" at Wimbledon. Makes palace's ultras sound tuneful.

Wimbledon full stop. Overhyped toffs occassion, the real sport hidden behind screeching upper/middle class (mostly) women who blather on about it endlessly for two weeks and speak like they are sports geeks, until the day after the final when their talk goes back to handbags/shoes/calories in lettuce or whatever for another 50 weeks. I got dragged along with my old boss once to a corporate day there, it was truly fvcking horrendous. Oh, and agree with Sharapova's grunting, in another scenario I'd put up with it, but not tennis.

ALWAYS the same people that say 'can I get' and 'like'.

:sick:

I know that gets mentioned in every one of these threads but that is incredibly irritating.

Speaking of irritating North Americanisms, I was watching the women's football the other day and had to switch off the sound, not because of Jonathan Pearce surprisingly, but because of that ****ing 'let's go Canada, let's go' chant. If we ever end up with a similar chant at the Amex, I'm not coming back on principle.

The fact they had a 'team huddle' in their penalty box when they conceded their second goal just took the biscuit.

People on trains who walk through the carriages just as their stop is coming
up - banging into you - for one reason - so they can get off the train closer to the
station exit.

If you knew where the exit was, fu*king get on the train in the appropriate place
to start with ffs.

Slow swimmers in swimming lanes who wait until just as you are finishing your length
to swim off in front of you. That f***** infuriates me. And people who leave rubbish in the
swimming changing rooms when there's a bin 6 ft f***** away.

People complaining about Americanisms and about "can I get". It feels like a cliché to be irritated by it, that people are listing it because they can't think of anything else and know people will all go 'oh yeah, me too'.

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!

Wow, nice one. I really thought I was the only person that had noticed this.
