Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

Chinese toy manufacturers who can't be bothered to pay a translator or proofreader to translate or check the English on their packaging, which has all been written by someone who clearly has English as a 5th language. For about £10, they could avoid wonderful slogans such as "Happiness child will consequent from super joyful colour toy".0

The current proliferation of double-barrelled names. Either stick with your own name or use his, but honestly, "Karetina Johnson-Thomson"? Sounds like a joke. It's not like either name is exactly unusual, anyway...
What will the kids do should they marry? Particularly if their intended already has a double-barrelled name? "Sarah Johnson-Thompson-Hobson-Hodgson" is even more daft. :evil:
NOTE: my Mum has a double-barrelled name, but the names are her first hubby's (my Dad) who died plus hubby number 2. This seems fair enough to me.
It's just a hill. Get over it.0 -
The person at the desk next to me. Eating so fast they don't have time between mouthfuls for a breath so breathing through their nose. Problem is they have a cold. Sounds like someone letting air very slowly out of a balloon.“Jij bent niet van suiker gemaakt”0

When sh!t newspapers use a picture to go with "Chinese stock market tumbles" articles which shows some Chinese guy in front of a sea red share price movements.
In China, red is lucky, so red is for gains, and green is for losses.

People who get confused really easily.0

People who say borrow when they mean lend. "Can someone borrow me a tenner" for example
People who call you mate only when they want something. The rest of the time they couldn't care less about you. So so shallow.
The best I've seen...
" Mate can you give me..."
"Have we ever sent Christmas cards?"
" ? "
"Well, I'm not your f'ing mate "."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0 -
People in hoodies who wear the hood up, when the weather isn't even bad.

People who answer "How are you?" with "Yeah."0

Twitter. (even though this can't be it's first mention.)
I never gave a sh1t about it before, as I never use it and never will.
However, last night Gemma (oxygen thief) Collins appeared on some of piece of rubbish TV called "Safeword", and said that she had 1.5 million followers on said Twitter. If that's not a reason to be annoyed about it, what is?

Sainsbury's self scan checkouts.
At least in their King's Lynn superstore; I haven't done a survey.
Anyway, in every other sodding shop you put the basket on the left, scan the stuff and put in in the "bagging area" on the right (only to be told it's an unexpected item)
Sainsburys in their wisdom seem to want you to do it the other way round. And once I'd got my head around that, my 5 items required the intervention of a member of staff on 3 occasions. I'm not convinced this is progress!0 -

Yeah, that and the opposite - if you go to Aldi they don't let you pack. You're supposed to just pile everything back into the trolley and then sort it out on the little shelves by the door.
I take it as a challenge to have everything bagged and my card in my hand before they've told me the total. They can't complain then...I'm left handed, if that matters.0 -
People who don't know which turning they're going to take on a roundabout, so they just drive around the outside lane without using their indicators.
Doubly annoying if they're one of the annoying cretins who do it at the coach stop end of the Ashford designer outlet.0
