Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

F@ckers in cars who drive like a lunatic to overtake you on a street with speed bumps and then slow down to 5mph for each bump.
Every morning someone will pull out/close pass on that street to get in front and then they hold me up. They know it too, as they usually blast over the first bump as I'm still close and then they'll slow it right down on the next 6. Di@ks.0 -
People banging on about drugs in sport. Bang bang bang...Wiggins...bang bang bang...someone else....bang bang bang...someone else else...bang bang bang. They talk more about drugs than the actual sport they are supposed to like, they love it I tell thee!0

When someone asks your opinion on something and then instantly dismisses it before hearing you out.
Just asking for an argument in disguise.0 -

Annoying work woman.
I've mentioned her before, but it's getting to the point I don't think I can hide it anymore. She spent the morning in our office talking AT the others and then started giving one of them a neck rub as she had mentioned a trapped nerve. I felt for the lass receiving as she looked really uncomfortable being manhandled without any warning whatsoever.
What nearly tipped me over the edge was her breaking down in tears because one of our colleagues announced his missus is pregnant. She's worked here 2 months and only 3 days a week at that.
I'll be lucky to get through the Xmas party on Fri without snapping at her.0 -
I actually think she might be the female version of David Brent.0

I have a similar annoying work woman here, the problem is she works in HR and ironically is the most inappropriate person I've encountered since working hereDinyull wrote:Annoying work woman.

Just got an auto e-mail reminding me, an adult cusotmer, how exciting it is that it is only "four sleeps to christmas."
Who came up with this ridiculous phrase. I never heard it before twenty years, and I was in the North, so I though it was something from round there. Now I hear it all the time down South, and my friends in Cardiff are using it. It's like some horrible societal virus to add to the many other trivial annoances that go with Christmas.
I need a mince pie.0 -
"Insomniacs - remember there's only one more sleep till Xmas!!"0

People in Landrovers or other off road type vehicles who insist on pootling over speed bumps as slow as possible, are you carrying eggs? or an unstable bomb? No so take the bump like the rest of the human race!0

It's alright for toots. My two are 5 and 4 years old. They understand '4 sleeps'.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Those flashing road signs that flash 30 or slow down at you even when you are doing less than the limit.0

We see them as a challenge, ride two a breast through them and see if you can set them off, endless amusement

People on Watchdog making their issue sound more serious than it is. The bloke just on was moaning about his new Sky box and how it wasn't recording, pausing or rewinding. Now I can see that's annoying and probably frustrating but he said 'if it happened over Christmas it could be upsetting'. Really? Upsetting to not be able to watch something that will be available in other places shortly if you really need to watch with all that's going on in the world?!0

^ Yep and the bloke who had to wait 'over 12 hours' for a response from John Lewis.

Polystyrene balls, especially those inside beanbags. Today, my soon to be 4 year old son managed to open one of them and distributed it's contents all over his sister's room, while shouting "it's snowing!"0

Packaging. Ordered a small bottle (250ml) of a leather conditioner. Postman delivered a box big enough for 2 pairs of shoes (in their boxes). Nestled inside among a load of giant bubble wrap was my bottle. I'm sure it must cost to send something so large. And I have to dispose of it all.Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

You weren't the one who had to clean it all up! I had to tell the missus to do it.0 -

Soz mate. Didn't realise. I suppose you had to inspect the job after? More bloody effort. :roll:seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

We compromised in the end, I told her she could leave the dishes until the morning, as long as she does them before I wake up. Well, it is Xmas after all!0 -

But you haven't cleaned it all up.
My parents are still finding polystyrene balls around their house after they gave my three year old son a bag of them to play with. He is 19.0 -

I have to say, in my pickup truck if I hit them with any speed they feel fine in the front but I get the amusing sight of my poor dog being launched into the air in the rear view mirror... Damn leaf springs. Luckily the ones around here are mostly the narrow ones which you don't have to slow down for if you have a wide enough wheel track so I end up stuck behind people in normal cars going at 2mph0
