The phrase 'I see what you did there' when referring to something someone said that is supposedly witty.

People who want to try stuff you have ordered in a restaurant. If you want to eat my lunch you pay for it. I ordered it because that is what I want to eat, not because I thought you might like to try it. Grrr

Having been dispatched to the chemist to buy 2 bottles of cough mixture, one for the missus and one for the ma in law, being told by the pharmacist that I can only buy one because it could be addictive. Then being met by a vacant look when I ask how many hours must elapse before I am allowed to buy the second bottle.
Ask the pharmacist if they dispense methadone. Tell them that a Methadone program costs £47k per person per annum and pharmacies are paid £110k per year to dispense the stuff and in France, they get heroin addicts off the brown stuff in 3 weeks but people can be on Methadone 'scripts' for years yet you can't supply me cough syrup because it could be addictive?!
If that doesn't work, say that she can legally supply 2 packs of 32 Co-Codamol tablets and your only supposed to take them for 3 days, yet 64 tablets (32 doses) in 72 hours is overdosing.
You seem to know alot about methadone. Personally I thought you were on crack.
Ah well. You live you learn. 0 -

drivers not useing there light first thing....that really grips my sh@t
In a similar vein. people driving with side lights and fog lights on but not dipped headlights. WTF is going on in their heeds?0 -
People who indicate left after they've overtaken. Do they think that people will think they're going to stay on the right indefinitely if they don't?0

I don't listen to any BBC radio or watch any of their channels. In fact I don't have a TV. Incidentally if the BBC were to be sold to highest bidder, their propaganda programs axed and their dodgy employees banged up for their crimes, I wouldn't have a care.
It was GCN that sparked that one.0 -

His concerns don't sound very trivial to me!0 -
their propaganda programs
Ehm, o-kay, what sort of 'propaganda' is it that gets you annoyed?0 -

It can't be a biscuit. In no way are biscuits a trivial matter.

Sorry, should have been "things". Biscuits are definitely not trivial as you rightly say.[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19749623#p19749623]BelgianBeerGeek[/url] wrote:

Annoying me right now is the boring drunk Australian customer I've got on the phone. He's talking riddles and I'm not listening.0 -

Most of the ones that I deal with I speak to first thing in the morning so they are just finishing work and are still lucid. This guy calls me when he's been out drinking and can barely string a sentence together.

Another annoyance is idiots.
Guy called me to ask if I'd seen his email, I told him I had seen it and replied. He told me he hadn't seen the read receipt. I asked if he'd seen my reply. He replied that he'd seen the reply but didn't know if I'd seen his mail as he didn't have a read receipt. I struggled to answer without being rude.0 -

Those words really annoyed me once. It was the morning after I heard them and I realised I had a 2 day hangover. :evil:0 -

I read that as no burger. Maybe that's their idea.0 -

2 day hangovers really annoy me but they are not a trivial matter (usually as it means the first day of hangover was deathly).0 -

I haven't owned a TV for the past twelve years, I rely on OFCOM finding the BBC guilty of propaganda to inform me about their record on propaganda, but I was pleased to hear that there is another person here who has the good sense not to bother owning a TV
Back OT, television by all accounts is both trivial and annoying my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -
Had a corker today. In a queue at the supermarket behind two large (obese) women. Mother and daughter I suspect. They have huge amounts of crisps, coke, chocolate, buns (you get the picture). When it comes for payment they dig out a pile (and I mean a pile) of various vouchers for money off this or that most of which they have not bought. The till operative patiently goes through the pile and three maybe four of them are valid. Then (you'll love this) one of them looks at the voucher in her hand and says to the other "Oh, we should have got some of these", they then both walked off back into the isles to find what they had forgotten. WTF, I had a huge rant when they got back, the till person had a polite dig (but to be fair did manage to keep it civil), these two did not bat an eyelid. What had they gone back for?

I think I've said this before but there's been a recent upsurge and it's really annoying me. Watching the news in the morning and being told that a particular politician will today announce 'x'. Well, guess what, they no longer need to bother as you've already done it for them.0
