Annoyingest things

[15goddess15]

the thing in everyday life that annoys you the most?

[Octavius]

The cost to use public transport.

[nutgoneflake]

I hate it when people say "twenty four seven" when they mean 'always' and I hate film trailers that announce "in cinemas September twelve" when they mean 'the twelfth of September."

I hate it when women put tattoos on the fattest part of their bodies and then proceed to show that particular bit off. I don't have a thing about tattoos (and I'm no skinny bint either!) it's just that maybe the tattoo artist ought to help them choose a better place to have one done!!

"This one'll show off your muffin top a TREAT."

"Yeah - I'll do it there for you. You'll just have to go braless to show it off to its full effect."

[the g man]

people asking questions . why am i on this site ????
I hate nyself now !!

[natalie_1982]

Loosehead - yes! management speak!

The following phrases (namely because my boss uses them way too much):
caveat
etc (except he says eck-cetera)
naval gazing
"suck it and see"

[mrs_overall]

Overseas call centres (in particular, Orange, if any bosses from that company are reading this.)
People who spit.
People who think it's cute when their kids run amok in cafes/restaurants
Tattooes
Anyone who has a wee in public. Why do so many men come out of a pub and THEN have a wee in the nearest doorway????
Dog poo on pavements.

[andrea81]

Parents who turn into lunatics on the school run and come close to knocking people over outside school gates!

[flip_flop]

I'll tell you what has just ******* annoyed me......a 40 minute wait in a queue at the bank because they only put two people behind the jump to serve customers and there was some dozy old tart who decided 1pm would be the best time to pay in about a gazillion pounds in ******* coins.

Silly ******* bitch.

[nutgoneflake]

oooh yes nat! When I was at work, (a million years ago pre-babies!) one Head Office bloke used to come into my shop and say those stupid things, and these too:

Think outside the box
Guess-timate
Flag it up
Let's touch base

Ggrrrrr!!

[China Doll]

Staff who do not put their extension number on the intranet!

[garner]

Simple thing but trying to get into a packet of biscuits for somebody whos fingers not very agile its murder why do so many packets intend you not to open them without a pair of scissors and then its still hard work. Oh and people who cannot say three how many times do you hear it as fwee. Rant over lol

[Campfire]

I'm a bit annoyed right now so this will probably end up being longer than intended or anticipated by the question maker.

- People who complain about stupid things at supermarkets OR get refunds for 2 or 3p and then come out with the classic, "I know it's only 2p but it's not the point." Yes it is the ******* point, you're a skank.
- Management speak.
- People who come out with their "ban fireworks" rhetoric the same time every year.
- Truly religious people.
- TV ADVERTS
- Co-workers who are comparable to amoebas.
- Co-workers who do everything they can to use medical excuses as a reason not to do real work. Seriously, we have a woman who had a minor car crash in January still saying she can't do certain tasks because her back hurts.
- Trade unions (and trade union reps) which encourage the aforementioned behaviour and defend it when people get annoyed.
- GPs who give these people the dreaded "Doctor's certificate."
- Train fare prices, particularly to travel around London.
- George Bush
- President Ahmadinejad
- TV ADVERTS
- Madeleine McCann news coverage
- Robert Mugabe
- Bono/U2
- People who argue(d) for a smoking ban because it's not fair it negatively effects their health, and then insisting separate smoking rooms with a door and an extractor fan is an unacceptable negotiation on the grounds of...... well I don't know what.
- Pretentious middle class people who hold "dinner parties" instead of barbecues and **** ups.
- Right wingers.
- People who walk slowly: anywhere. I'm a fast walker. Very fast. Get out of my way, or walk faster. This obviously does not apply to people with disabilities.
- Speaking of, people who get into their car in a jam-packed car park and sit there fiddling with their iPod, bluetooth hands free set, radio, keys, mobile phones, shoe laces and werthers originals. Others are waiting

[Campfire]

cont..

........for the space, GET OUT.
- Britney Spears
- TV ADVERTS
- Anyone who disagrees or defends any of the above.

I genuinely feel slightly better.

[WaldoMcFroog]

People who get up in the morning and rather than look out of the window and think to themselves that we in the UK exist in an age of unprecidented propserity with more leisure time than ever before and more disposable income and the knowledge that our time is limited and precious and also the knowledge to understand and appreciate the myriad wonders of the world, go out and buy newpapers with the apparent twin aims of making life as grey as possible and finding someone else to blame it all on, and then come on the Answerbank and whine about it.

Miserable gits. You know who you are.

[Lucy Thomas]

People who make up stupid words like 'annoyingest'.

[eyebrows]

my girlfriend

[spaced]

people who shoot you down on AB for asking about something sensitive (drink driving etc etc)

Non disbaled people parking in a disabled bay

My boss

People chewing loudly

Drivers tailgating me

[bubblem8]

Dangerous drivers,on my way to work,a woman with a car full of kids pulled out in front of me and stopped in middle of road.Took all of my self control not to get out of my car and thump her.

[China Doll]

People who appear to have no concept of the word 'priority.'

I now have seven 'priorities' on my desk. Nice one.

Also today...

4x4's. Otherwise known as 'Off Road' vehicals. The clue's in the f***ing name people. (AKA Potential China Doll killers when going at stupid speeds around a blind corner).

People who use the self service tils in supermarkets who really shouldn't tax their brain with this task.

Tights that say they're ladder resistent and then ladder. I'm still wondering if I can sue for false marketing.

[Lucy Thomas]

People who use an apostrophe to pluralise nouns such as dog's, cat's etc.

[gelda]

People who put 2 fingers up each side of their heads when they're talking about something "in brackets" GRRRRR
