    People with bigoted opinions or controversial views on things they clearly have no idea about or which don't concern them. My mother used to say "if you've nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all". I think Eastenders has got a lot to answer for with respect to wide spread argumentativeness and self importance of ones ignorant opinions.

    There's a sharp edge on one of the MTB shifters on my touring bike where a piece of plastic has broken off. Occassionally it snags my glove. Oooh, I'm SO ANNOYED.

    The American collective term for human beings that originates from gum chewing waitresses in New York diners....
    'Guys'.
    Seems to have been adopted by nearly every shop assistant/bar person/waiter or waitress of the younger generation in the UK.
    'Hi Guys'
    What can I do for you Guys'
    'Would you like to sit over here Guys'..................... aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

    Drives me potty. So insincere, cheap, lazy and quite an insult in my opinion. Especially when I witnessed the term used to greet an old couple. 'Hi Guys'.

    Excessive use of question marks. One is sufficient.

    I live in Spain but work in Gibraltar - yes the queues to cross the border are very annoying, as is the Gibraltarian accent.

    However - the most anoying thing, Gibraltarians refer to plastic bags (the standard ones you get in the supermarket) as "plastics". So the checkout person beeps your stuff through and asks "Would you like a plastic?". First time it happened I replied "yes love, a plastic what?" 10 mnutes later she finally managed to explain what on earth she was talking about.

    Very annoying.

    Flagrant use of full stops is annoying.

    An elipsis is a character, a keystroke a precomposed triple-dot glyph, it comprises of three full stops its purpose is for an intentional omission of a word, sentence, and though necessary for syntactical construction, is not necessary for comprehension, not that we generally understand a thing you say playing mantis...

    It's bl00dy hot and I'm bored OK :D

    now getting back to seriousness, people standing on the wrong side of escalators, especially at tube stations. people getting off trains and tube relaly slowly, especially those on tubes who dont realise its there stop, and get off way after everyone else has got off, and as people are getting on, so you push agianst the flow of everyone else. just pay attenetion a bit more.

    people getting off aeroplanes, seriously how long does it take you to get off it? you all stand up and scrabble in the overhead lockers before your meant to, yet it still takes an age for you to get off the plane. stop fiddling around and sort everything out in anticipation of landing before the seatbelt lights come on.

    People who rush to get off aeroplanes. What's the rush?
    You still have to wait for the same luggage carousel with even the slowest passengers to disembark.

    People who take old, unused bread and feed it to pigeons and seagulls. Has no one told them facebook etc were
    designed for them? :) No, they are not being 'humane'. Once these birds nest they can be really difficult to remove from a building and when seagulls are not eating chips tend to snack on small birds.

    londoner?? how dare u. i may work and been educated in this gloomy borough, but i can assure you i am no londoner.

    also not wanting to be pedantic, but i said wrong side of escalators. adhere to the local rules.


    what worse is in malls, when its just a free for all, usually, larger proportioned people just standing willy nilly. blocking the whole escalator.

    not true, invariably when i manage to get off the plane, luggage is making its merry way around the carousel, and imbibing us with a fear that some scrot has nicked our luggage and the priceless items inside.
