I really dont like it when in a queue people are so close behind you they have literally mounted you. It gets quite annoying as they could have their space as its not exactly busy but no they have to be about an inch behind you and prodding you with whatever they have in their hand.

Iv'e now just got bored with it and purposely swing round and tt them " by mistake"

Some people don't understand the concept of person space

Friend of mine normally wears stilettos. If barging back on them doesn't work she just steps back and puts all of her weight on the stiletto which is now pressing on the top of their foot! :hehe

The old girl that goes into the local convenience store to get her weekly shop and you are stuck behind her holding a loaf. She then precedes to have long chat with the checkout girl about the condition of her next door neighbors bunions prior to paying. While paying she of course commences to gather all the various money off coupons that she has been collecting for the past 2 months from her handbag. Once complete she then pays in small change, all counted out very slowly.

The reason it happens is that the plumber who installed the bog is a mongoloid fkwit who has installed the pan too close to the wall so the seat can't tip back far enough to be stable in a raised position. The owners of the house would be perfectly within their rights to call him back in and insist that he fixes the job he's fked up, free of charge, because he didn't do the job properly in the first place. This might also help teach the dozy to do it properly next time. Unfortunately the house owners tend to be just as mongoloidally fkwitted as the plumbers and don't do this.

Not always true. Sometimes it's the homeowner who is the "mongoloid fkwit" and who replaces the originally installed seat (which was fine) with a wooden one that is ticker than a whale omelette.

Stuff that doesn't work. Be it a mechanical device or some sort of electronic gadget.

Why doesn't my Alpine stereo always connect to my ipod in my car 100% of the time? "Error. Can't connect Ipod."
Why not? I've plugged it in. That's all I have to do, the rest is up to the electrical bits and bobs. Oh, ok, I'll press reset and start again. Brilliant.

Why does the Bluetooth doohicky never work? "Error. Bluetooth connection failed."
So I'll reconnect it shall I? Don't bother trying to yourself, you're just a collection of diodes and volts and stuff - how could you possibly be expected to maintain the connection you were designed to do...

I often get something similar when plugging a USB hard disk into a PC - the "This device can perform faster if you plug it into a USB2 port" message always comes up - the ttting thing IS in a USB2 port you fking stupid PC, it's your USB2 port you cock of an operating system, it hasn't magically transformed itself into a USB1 port since the last time I plugged something into it 30 seconds ago ! Only after unplugging and plugging back in two or three times does the sodding lump of ste called Windows finally admit that maybe it is still a USB2 port after all !

* Bloody Piccadilly line

Yay, going to be my commute for a year in a month - looking forward to it!

• People who don't say thanks when being you're nice e.g. when I'm cycling and knowing they'll struggle to pass me if I'm going slowly so I pull in to let them past and don't even look at you.

• The opposite, when I'm going along at 30mph on my bike and some idiot in a car pulls out because they assume I'll be doing 2mph, with the result me almost ending up in the back of the car.

• Stupid cyclists

• When 5 mums with prams decide to stop to talk on the pavement and arrange themselves in a roadblock the police would be proud of.

• People who walk along and then suddenly stop for no reason, causing you to (almost) walk into them.

Rugby.

I live in NZ and over here rugby seems to be more important than any other sport/news story/world event. I can't fking stand the game, the All Blacks are a bunch of s, and the government + local council are doing their best to fk over the local economy in order to put on the RWC.

Also, the journalist Ollie Stallwood. His Autocar blogs make me cringe.

Rugby is more important than any other sport. It's just that the Kiwis have the sense to recognise it.

Standing at the cash machine and the prat in front gets a balance statement first.

Study it, and then withdraw £10.

Then they order up another balance statement.

Boils my piss everytime.

I got a mini statement followed by 2 phone top ups for my wife and daughter, followed by £100 cash, with receipt, and I'm wondering why there's a queue forming, as I think I'll change my pin number today. Then I'm going to use my business card account and make sure my last invoice was paid by BACS as agreed with the customer.

I once did this by accident to a girl standing behind me queueing at a till in central London. I paid for my item and took half a step back without realising this girl was 1" behind me, and I stood on her (bare be-sandalled) foot with all my weight. She screamed loudly and I said "sorry" whilst thinking moments later that she was a silly cow for standing far too close to me. She just gave me an evil look, and (partly by her looks) I just figured she was from somewhere like Hong Kong where they have little sense of personal space.

But yes, people who stand too close behind me annoy me lots. I even step late onto escalators leaving a big gap in front so I can take a step forward to distance myself from anyone who sneaks right behind me. Is this silly?!

Crunching!!! Listening to people cruch food with their mouth open! NO NEED FOR IT!

These fking things -



Not the fan obviously, it was the first picture i could find to illustrate the stupid ing packaging that seems to make it way onto more and more products these days...

Hateful, hateful stuff.

[Family Guy]

The morons at my local supermarket that travel up the conveyor / escalator to the second floor, only to stop at the very top as they get off to have a good look around deciding which way to go. And they are blissfully unaware of the cue of people behind them trying to get off.

My work colleague who seams to think his car is indestructible. He seams to think that indicating and lane control are beneath him and he's obviously being guided by a greater force. Witnessed him drift across 3 lanes last week without a care in the world while all around him (including me) took evasive action. Hate to think how many accidents he's caused and not realised. Tit!!!

[toxgobbler]

Retired people using the post office at Lunchtime, YOU'VE GOT ALL DAY!! And I've got to be back in the office in 25 minutes.

And slow pedestrians or people that suddenly stop on a busy London pavement. I just want to punch them in the back of the head.

[Ganglandboss]

Something I have noticed a lot recently is old people at the train station carrying wheelie suitcases on the escalator. They get on, struggle like fk to get the thing stood up and then drop it as they try to get off meaning nobody behind them can get past resulting in a huge fking pile up. There is a sign on the fking escalator telling you not to carry large bags fur a fking reason! Plus there is a fking lift for fk's sake - fking use it you stupid bds!


AAAAARRRRRGHHHH!

[Ganglandboss]

And tts on the road when you are trying to move across to another lane; why do toss-pots behind you in the lane you want to be in, who are travelling at the same speed, insist on putting their foot down as soon as you indicate?

s!

thats the click open stuff, you mean the vacuum packed uber tight sealed plastic packing which you need to cut open with scissors all the way around, and as you cut the packaging it cuts your hands to shreds, I totally agree


I hate repeating stuff, or people repeating stuff
I heard you the first fking time, or
Are you fking deaf, for the third fking time I have answered you!!!

[OllieWinchester]

People, and when I say people what I really mean is young girls with P-plates or elderly drivers travelling in the slow lane at 55mph. This means the lorries then have to pull into lane 2 to overtake them at 56mph, only for them to speed up marginally when the lorry is three quarters of the way past. They must think they are being nice and unobstructive sat where they are, when in fact they are causing more aggravation than their tiny minds could comprehend.
