Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

People who bring their babies into an office with a smile on their face like they think the one thing that office workers really want on a Friday morning is the sound of a screaming baby in the background.0

People who park by speed humps so that you can't straddle the hump, but have to run 2 wheels over the hump.0

speed bumps, full stop.
Actually, you haven't seen speed bumps till you've been to Kenya... since drivers there simply won't slow down for anything else, all towns have unbelievably vicious speed bumps at frequent (but unsettlingly irregular) intervals. It's a wonder there aren't (more) axles lying by the roads.0 -
Old people.
Combine them with a small supermarket and your precious lunch hour and you have something really painful.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -

And on hills too!!!
I do a sportive called 'The London Classic' which has on its route Canonbie Road, this is a approximately 22% monstrosity and while you're struggling up dying a thousand deaths some inconsiderent #### has installed speed bumps to make your suffering just that little more special......... I mean why, just why??0 -

Probably more to slow the folks descending rather than ascending...and if they only did one side of the road then faster drivers would swerve making it much more dangerous rather than safer.0 -

I agree but when they get mad with the self service check out and start answering it back it almost makes it all worth while!!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -

Women who buy "healthy" food without looking at the nutritional values which are clearly printed on the box, then get angry when their husbands point out that these snacks that she is feeding their children are actually 30% sugar.
Not that I can think of any particular woman who does that. Definitely not Mrs Finchy. That's never happened at all.0 -
Old People who overload bags when going to the dump (sorry recycling centre) and then ask for help unloading it because you look fit and healthy. Don't put so much in and then maybe you will be able to get it out again.Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

People who lack the empathy to realise that one day they, too, will be old.0

That's pretty horrible. But go you for 'looking fit and healthy', long may you be so.0 -

Yep I think you're probably correct. But now I'm old I'm allowed to be horrible. Its the rulesRose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

Web pages on smartphones jumping all over the place cos the sodding ads keep loading. You want to press the tiny line of text to go to the next page and the second your finger touches the screen it jumps half way down the screen and you go elsewhere. F%*king Twa44ery to the Nth level0

Rubbish signs/posters.
Annoying: out of date ones. Perhaps your pub has one saying "Live Music October 20th". And you get there and think, that sounds alright, I might come down for that. Then you realise it's the 22nd or whatever and the event has been and gone. Take the flipping sign down!
Really annoying: very poor ones at the side of the road. Someone wants to sell something, or tell you about an upcoming event. So they print it on A4 and stick it to a lamppost on a busy country road. A pedestrian would have to be suicidal to try and read it because there is no pavement, and you would need astonishingly good eyesight to read font size 12 at 50 mph.
There are some on my way home. The sticker has even highlighted the title in yellow. Due to recent rain the ink has run, making them more illegible. They could be giving unicorns away to a good home, but I'll never know.Ecrasez l’infame0 -

Maybe Tracey is Christo's girlfriend?

When you're reading your 16 digit credit card number in groups of 4 to the person on the other end of the telephone "1,2,3,4 -space- 5,6,7,8 etc" and every time you're about to start saying the next group of 4 they say "yes" and therefore miss the start of the next group.
Gah!
You know what I mean!0 -

On the other end of the phone... People who read you their card number in groups of 2. "5, 4" pause "yep" "3, 2" pause "yep". Get on with it!0 -
Drivers who don't bother to clear their side windows so they can't see sideways. Just put the window down and then up again.0

I just had someone read a MasterCard number in blocks of 3 then a single digit at the end. It's printed in blocks of 4, why the hell would you do that? Sounded so awkward as he did it.

There is a certain irony of someone from Suffolk suggesting others may be inbread in some way. Best leave you to your witch burnings0
