"MOT on purchase".
Buy a car from a second hand dealer. "Oh yes mate, that'll come with a fresh MOT, we'll sort out all the advisories."
A year later, put the same car in for MOT, find it needs 3 shocks, discs and pads all round, a new flexi section in the exhaust, and some bushes/balljoints.
fking cowboys. This is gonna cost me megabucks right before Christmas.
Cowboy? For a list of things to need addressing a year later?Buy a car from a second hand dealer. "Oh yes mate, that'll come with a fresh MOT, we'll sort out all the advisories."

Hearing the words, "Would you like her to rephrase the question"
My anger then increases incrementally as
1. we see the plaintive look from the "reporter"
2. the guy stares around the room vacantly
3. said guy stares vacantly into camera and
4. he says, "I'm not going to be who I'm expected to be any more"

And then the advert continues to say "Bleu de Chanel, the new eau de parfum".My anger then increases incrementally as
1. we see the plaintive look from the "reporter"
2. the guy stares around the room vacantly
3. said guy stares vacantly into camera and

When the exact same advert has been on for the past three years!

People who order an expresso from Starbucks et al... And the ones who prefer a caramel mocha choco frappe latte with soya milk and a hazelnut syrup shot... And the ones who still, when asked their name in Starbucks, reply Darth Vader, Peter pan, Sid vicious etc etc very funny.... You can all fk off now please

Meh. I'm more annoyed that I cannot order anything other than an espresso anywhere outside of Italy these days. Because the market has shifted from people who like coffee to the far larger number of stupid fat bints who want to sound all 'sofistikated' ordering a cappuccino when what they really want is a fking milkshake.
My wife, closing the windows all the time, so the house is hot as hell! We live in the tropics and I've spent years trying to explain to her the house gets HOT when there is no ventilation.
last night I was drunk, went to bed, hotter than hell, so I got up to find the windows all closed! WTF WHY close them????
"I like them closed, it's just my thing" She replied.
I lost it big time and made a fool of myself shouting and yelling. I also tore the curtain down in the en-suite bathroom in frustration. .....

My wife, and our maid, and her mother (when she was alive) who cook on full heat ALL THE TIME. I try to explain that you can't get a pan of water hotter than boiling point, no matter how high the gas is turned.
We have a big extractor installed above the stove. But the extractor is left off when they cook.
I demonstrate that turning the gas to low and putting a lid on, still BOILS THE WATER just as much, but no, every fking time they cook the gas is full, there is no lid on, the kitchen is full of steam etc.
The extractor is left off.
Frying. The gas is turned to full, there is no cover on the pan, the fat is spitting and spattering all over the kitchen.
The extractor is left off.
Sitting here typing my last post, I could smell some food cooking, so I went downstairs, there is a huge pan of stew, boiling its head off, billowing steam and stink, full gas, no lid on.
The extractor was off.

I travel by train to London which is not a bad thing as I get to sit down, read, use my mobile etc on the train.
So why is it that half the train occupants feel the need to read their mobiles as soon as they get off the train? They have had at least 30 mins where they can do nothing ( and with a good 4g signal) but decide that when they get to the station the most important thing to do is use their mobile and not get to the tube/bus/taxi and work. The speed of movement of those looking at God knows what is sloth like and is almost a human pin to my bowling ball trying to get past.
I overtake them and then stop to look at my phone. They learn nothing from it and it makes the situation worse for everyone else, but it makes me less angry.

Before I started doing this I'd get to the point of stroll-rage where I'd actually swear at people for walking without due care and attention, which I'm ashamed about.
You've been on a long Transatlantic flight I know and you want to check your messages/let someone know you've arrived/update Facebook but DAWDLING ALONG THE fkING JETWAY AT 0.1 MPH IS NOT THE PLACE TO DO IT YOU TARDS
Wait till you are in the main concourse where there's a bit of space and P.S., this is also the place to start rooting around for whatever st you need from your carry on.
NOT THE fkING JETWAY.

People who stop at roundabouts when it's completely clear
Yup. Ditherers in general. I had one last night, with no observation (or, indeed, driving) skills. It came to a head when she stopped at a roundabout in the right hand lane of two (to take the 3rd exit at 90° right) because a van was approaching. There was loads of room and time. Enough time for me to say "oh sod this", and move from stationary behind her into the left hand lane, enter the roundabout with plenty of time to avoid the approaching van, and take the same exit that she was waiting for.
Gahhh!

UFO fkwits who accepted this pic numerous times as 'proof' that a crashed UFO has been recovered and the US is using alien technology
Anyone remotely familiar with aircraft will recognise the remains of a US Navy F-14 Tomcat with a bit of photoshop work on it. Around 5 seconds on Google and the original undoctored pic can be found ( search for F-14 recovery )
These people are seriously short of anything resembling critical thinking, but usually are the first to reject scientific proof of anything they don't believe in
Stupid fkers !

The thing about the Conspiracy Theorists that really makes me chuckle is that they deny that the Moon Landings happened and yet at the same time claim that we have landed men on Mars but it has been suppressed. JonRB said:

Christ that would annoy the hell out of me! I bet the window was shut as well while the extractor was doing nothing? <snip>
Another one that gets me is when people make a huge mess when cooking and just leave it. Fat all over the cooker, pans not rinsed out etc. Its not bloody hard!
