small things that really piss you off

[Jenny]

Drivers who don't stop at zebra crossings even when they have plenty enough time to do so

[Mike_F]

I play chicken with those f**kers. One day I'll come a cropper!

[IDM]

Cards for everything.

Following on from that, fresh cakes with Halloween decorations in the supermarket at the start of October with 5 days shelf life, or mince pies with a christmassy label, and a short shelf life, in November..

[Filo]

Drivers who don't stop at zebra crossings even when they have plenty enough time to do so

And on the flip side pedestrians that step onto a zebra crossing without looking


Also drunks in Doncaster town centre who suddenly can't see cars coming down the road and walk out oblivious to anything resembling a motor vehicle

[colfromdonny]

People who wear blue tooth sets on the street and in supermarkets (you should be allowed to punch them in the side of their heads)

I've done that Col, usually after driving some distance and forgetting its still in my ear.  Its only when you catch someone out of the corner of your eye pulling a Nescafe handshake behind your back do you realise your error.

I have one when I'm working, a Jawbone Icon, you can stream rovers player through it from my phone and it can connect to two phones at once, anyway after doing a 10-12 hour shift I've forgotton I've got it in my ear for a couple of hours or more while I've been in the house, only realising when I get a phone call

Dog walkers who have their dogs on a long lead right accross a path meaning when running you either have to stop or jump over the lead - annoying.

Another one is people who drive over the speed limit, pulling out of my car park at home on to a 30mph limit and the amount of times cars fly round the corner at over 50mph because it's a dual carriageway and give you abuse is massively annoying - you can't see them come round the corner.

Mind, as it's a tight turn, even more annoying are those who have a go because you're slowing down to pull in to the place where you live despite plenty of indication - idiots.

Actually whilst I'm at it, in the same place, pedestrians who walk accross the entrance just as you're about to look in - have a look you idiots.

Bugger it, another one - cyclists who go through red lights and have a go - don't do it!

[colfromdonny]

Sponsored television programmes.

[Mike_F]

Cyclists going through red lights are a bloody menace. I'm a cyclist myself and I hate (and feel seriously endangered by) the aggression towards cyclists from drivers using their cars as weapons. They would be less inclined to do so were it not for the few tossers who give the rest of us a bad name.

BTW I also drive 40k miles per year so I'm not a militant anti-car type either. In fact I'm very much a petrol-head.

[GM-MarkB]

People who can't use their car properly...not drive but USE.

Like when you're a passenger and it stopped raining 20 minutes ago, yet the wipers are still on constant.

[colfromdonny]

Little dogs with hankies tied around their necks.

[grayx]

Foreign call centres.

[Mike_F]

People who don't wash their mugs in the office. Or even worse, they take my mug out of the cupboard and leave it unwashed in the sink.

We recently had an office clear out with any dirty crockery being binned. I was out of the office but someone had evidently had their grubby mitts on my Rovers pint mug and after 8 years' faithful service it was gone when I got back into the office the following week.

[Bentley Bullet]

Rotherham United's deluded manager Steve Evans.

 Someone accidently dropped and broke a Rotherham united mug at work once. It must have been worth a fortune because of the rarity of a cup with Rotherham united written on it.

If you watch Look North, stop reading now or you will never be able to watch it again without getting annoyed when Phil Bodmer is presenting.

He constantly gurns and touches his papers on the table in front of him for no reason and twiddles his pen all the time. I mentioned it on Look North's Facebook page and the following few times he was on there was a massive improvement. However he is now back to his usual annoying self.

He must be the most uptight presenter on telly.

I know why my mate hates me pointing out stuff like this now !

Had never noticed PB's mannerisms before you pointed them out and now its all I can see when watching him !

Hahaha. I did preface my comment with a warning! I have the same problem. He really makes my piss boil.

[IC1967]

The americanisation of Britain and other countries' cultures.

This forum is as guilty as hell. Every time I spell a word correctly like 'americanisation' a dotted red line appears under the word as if I've spelt it wrong and should have (not 'of') spelt it the American way americanization.

I'd be grateful if the moderators could set up the spell checker for 'English' not 'American English'.

Another American word that really makes my piss boil that I'm hearing all the time even from BBC presenters that speak properly is 'snuck'. The correct word is 'sneaked'.

[RobTheRover]

Erm, the forum has no spellcheck. 

That's you setting the dictionary in your browser to "English (US)" not "English (UK)"

Have a nice day!

[Mike_F]

Oh and spelt is a type of grain. I think you meant "Spelled". You're welcome.

[IC1967]

Erm, the forum has no spellcheck.

Have a nice day!

Thanks guys.

I will amend my American Apple computer so it doesn't make my piss boil any more. My bad.

As far as spelt goes and spelled. Both words are correct. They are both the past and past participle of spell.

[IC1967]

That reminds me. Fully grown women being referred to as guys or even worse girls. A girl is a female child and a guy is male.

I'd prefer an abject apology, and a confession that you actually don't know your stuff

I find that when I am driving, I hate cyclists and pedestrians. When I am walking, I hate cyclists and drivers. When I am cycling, I hate pedestrians and drivers.

One of my biggest annoyances is people who have a go at you for ringing your bell whilst cycling because it is rude... Erm no, I am alerting you to my presence so that I don't hit you. The best one was cycling down the tow path last summer and a girl was walking towards me with headphones in and her head down reading a book (I kid you not) and then lambasted me when I almost hit her as she had no awareness of her surroundings at all.

The sudden fascination for lads to grow a beard it wasn't cool when my maths and science teachers had them it ain't now and haircuts with side partings

No, sorry....... Bob f***ing Willis

Bus drivers. I f***ing hate bus drivers.
