People who talk through television programmes.
I'm now at the point where I can't watch television with ANYBODY else, because they just will not shut up. I don't need a running commentary, I'm watching it myself. I don't need the plot explaining, or someone's dialogue repeating. Worse still, I don't want to hear what some dick is saying on Facebook or Twitter.
I don't get why people cannot sit down an watch a TV show in silence. If you don't want to watch it, get out of the room, or at least sit in silence. If you do want to watch it, STFU!
These days I tend to deliberately miss a show and watch it later on catch up, on my own, because I just can't be doing with this any more, it is so infuriating.
My Grandad used to do this: News article would start, while it was on, he would tell you what happened, usually got it totally wrong & in doing so you missed what actually did happen.I'm now at the point where I can't watch television with ANYBODY else, because they just will not shut up.

People asking for free or very cheap items on Facebook(bay), you offer them and then they have ask if their mate/family member can give them a lift I.e. want it delivered.
The council house bidding system. perhaps I have been a bit naive here but I always heard people saying they were bidding on houses etc and vaguely understood there was some points based system based on urgency and requirements.
I always thought that the 'bidding' was people bidding in how much (little) rent they would pay the council and the points just gave you eligibility to bid on that property.
I've just realised that there is no bidding and points mean prizes !
That f
king irritates me, a lot.

People who have holiday home up for rent on all the usual web sites who can't be arsed to keep the booking calendar up to date.
My wife has spent hours trawling all the web-sites for suitable accommodation for 28 days between Jan & Feb 2017.
She clicks the link, fills out the box with the usual questions on hills, Wi-Fi, etc. and then 9 out of 10 come back to say the place is booked!
Keep the bloody calendar up to date you useless wastes of skin!

The Green Initiative scheme. I live in a house I bought 3 years ago, and it's adequate for my needs. It doesn't cost that much to heat or power and is a comfortable place to stay. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.
Yet in the last year or so I have constant callers at the door telling me my house isn't efficient enough and that I should consider, a new boiler, solar panels, double glazing (it is double glazed, but apparently not as good as new double glazing), and insulation of varying varieties. When I say I'm not interested they all come out with the same line. "So you aren't interested in saving money then?" Well really it wouldn't be any of your business if I decided to fit a fire that only burns twenty quid notes, thank you very much.
And not to mention the council and local energy firm and their polystyrene external wall insulation. They just don't want to give up until everyone in the street has it. Many leaflets and phone numbers posted through the door.
It does annoy me beyond reason, and probably annoys me more than it should do!

Heh, instant fail if they come out with that desperate line - not that they tend to get as far as that with me; a rapidly closing door tends to muffle their spiel a bit.

Gove is right, they are treating voters like children.
Has me wondering whether Cameron actually wants us to leave and is using reverse psychology and plausible deniability.
That applies to both sides.ks being put forward by the Remain campaign. Gove is right, they are treating voters like children.

It's clear neither side is giving a realistic view of what will happen. SO the question is which set of made up figures do we want to believe might be more accurate, possibly, with a bit of luck, and a fair wind.
