Further to the Things That Annoy You Beyond Reason thread, what about things that just irritate you? I'm not talking about things that raise your blood pressure, mine is having to wear specs after 38 years of really good eye sight. They are always dusty or wet or get oil on them or knocked off and if I don't wear them I get a head ache now. It's not the end of the world, just a bit of a pain.

The general public.
Sometimes I wonder how, collectively, people can be so thick.

Small stones. I fooked my ankle at sea many years ago, and walking on the slightest lump can mean my ankle goes over on itself, and it bloody hurts. Small stones.

Might be worthwhile doing some kind of gentle exercise to strengthen the area. I snapped a ligament or something in the ankle a few years ago. Had to have a cast but it's fine now.

It swelled up huge. I could not fit a rigger boot on my foot. We were in the middle of the ocean as well, so had no chance to actually get it properly looked at. Running is an issue now, as it will just collapse on me.

Dawdlers.
I don't mean we all have to rush around, but at least keep a pace so that you're not a nuisance to other pedestrians or road users.

Might be worthwhile speaking to a physiotherapist about strengthening the area.

Probably one of the least stressful stressful things I have to deal with on a daily basis! One thing my dad always drilled into me when I was young were the three words: "Don't be useless". This lesson needs repeating to dawdlers and ditherers!

People who wait in parking bays for their food at drive throughs and then continue to sit there and eat their food. Why do that? You should move on to another space...

I appear to have quite a list!
Stoopid people, and the amount of stoopid health and safety rules because of them.
Dawdlers, on foot and on the road (I tolerate people who are just nervous drivers, but not those who refuse to do any acceleration at all and take ages to get through any sort of roundabout or hazard).
Weeds that grow on my patios
Stinging nettles on country footpaths
People who drink average cooking lager when there is a huge array of tasty proper beer on tap
People who follow stupid rules without showing initiative (the same sort of people for whom it always seems to be someone elses fault cos they followed the rules).
Editted to add, Internet spelling and grammar pedants.

Supermarket Isle stoppers. From what I've seen they come in two forms
1) The inconsiderate types of peeps who position themselves and their trolleys badly blocking the isle.
2) Is I had earlier today, supermarket meet ups. These people/neighbours/friends or family stop and chat making it physically impossible to pass them. I said 'excuse me' to them and was ignored, so I brushed the trolley past a guys leg and said 'thank you' as I passed. In my defence I do have a hang over and am slightly less patient today.

Your standing in a que waiting to use the self service checkout thing and some old lady just walks in front of you, uses the machine and then needs help to use it. Happened to me three times now.
Television adverts, should be banned as well as the tv licence. The actual content is mostly rubbish and yet they need so many adverts to pay for it.
People that enjoy vehicular related arguments.
The labour government had it all didn't they. Massaging the figures, health and safety, spending money we don't have, quangos, non jobs, double taxes, inflation, pfi abuse, letting house prices go through the roof, mistakes, being paid to not work, spin doctors, scumbags, bad drivers, affairs, losing documents, id cards, bailing out the banks, the iraq war and all the deaths as a result, the redacted expenses, making the rich richer and the poor poorer etc; this could feel a book.
Councils, got a problem don't call them.
A lot of police irritate me, whenever I get a decent car I become a criminal in the eyes of the police. I've had made up speeding offences, constantly followed even with other drivers speeding past me above the speed limit, made up reasons for stopping me, witnessed police dangerous driving and nearly been killed as a result, reported crimes to the police and nothing more than taking a statement done.

I had to put up with these f@ckers an hour ago! It's bad enough in Asda, but in Asda Govan you get a special kind of zombie. People who literally have nothing else to do.

Which is why I avoid shopping on a weekend or bank holiday. It will have to cut into other time eg midweek evening but the shops are less busy.
