People at airport arrivals doing excessively elaborate and very public displays of overwhelming emotion when greeting the people who have come to meet them, usually while blocking the other passengers. This seems to be mostly a young female thing.
Anything involving just females. When they are all in the kitchen together at work - lots of shrieking and noise and gossip. When they all get on the park and ride bus together? Lots of shrieking and noise and gossip. When the harpies all go out for a cigarette together? Lots of shrieking and noise and gossip. And it's always the 40+ year old ones. Just f
k off you menopausal fat stinking ugly orange faced fking noisebags. Coffee enthusiasts. Particularly those who list "coffee" as one of their prime, defining interests in an online profile. Why is it so fascinating? Why is it so clever? Why do they think it's charming? It's just a fking hot drink. I like mulled wine but it doesn't define me. There's someone on another forum I frequent who uses the scientific formula for caffeine as his logon name and has a little gif of a smiley face swigging coffee out of a filter machine glass jug. It makes me want to commit acts of unspeakable violence upon his soppy, coffee swilling mug. And it gives you stty breath.
Gah. I'm off to get a slug of joe/java from my bean to cup machine.
Tw@s.

Radio 4 'pm' recently actually interviewed the editor of 'Caffeine' magazine - the publication for coffee lovers - in which he slated anyone who dared to use a Nespresson machine or similar. He really sounded like a tool. Basically suggested that unless you are buying beans, grinding them yourself, then making the coffee 'properly', you're not having coffee.
Never was 'coffee beans' a more appropriate gesture.
The incorrect use of the word "literally".
As in "she's literally stabbed me in the back massively and now doesn't want to go".
No, she hasn't "literally" stabbed you in the back at all. Unless I'm wrong and you have actually been stabbed with some sort of implement & then I'll apologise.

People who think that you can only care about only one thing at the same time.
"I'm not going to sign the Jeremy Clarkson petition because *this* petition is far more worthy". Ok, so sign both then. D'Oh.
Same goes for people who pour scorn on you being upset that some public figure has died (in today's case, Terry Pratchett) because thousands of people are living in poverty and dying every day. Well, yes, that is a great shame but at a risk of being heartless, they haven't directly impinged on my life the same way as the public figure has and that's why I'm upset. It's human nature.
It's a bit odd to get upset at the death of someone who impinged on your life."I'm not going to sign the Jeremy Clarkson petition because *this* petition is far more worthy". Ok, so sign both then. D'Oh.

One of mine is people who use words whose meaning they clearly don't understand.

impinge
verb
verb: impinge; 3rd person present: impinges; past tense: impinged; past participle: impinged; gerund or present participle: impinging
have an effect, especially a negative one.
"several factors impinge on market efficiency"
synonyms: affect, have an effect on, have a bearing on, touch, influence, exert influence on, make an impression on, make an impact on, leave a mark on
"these issues impinge on all of us"
---
If someone had an influence, impact, or positive impression on your life, then why would it be inappropriate to feel upset and sorrow of their death?
Note: The word impinge doesn't *have* to have a negative connotation. Perhaps that is what you were referring to? Perhaps you don't clearly understand the meaning of this word?

Tonight: the one Friday night in the calendar when visiting the pub becomes an almost intolerable chore. That’s right, it’s good old Red fking Nose Day (although I can’t help but think that, since the bleeding BBC is responsible for this wholly disreputable arsefest, a change of name might be in order. I don’t know - Dead Nonce Day perhaps? At least it has a ring of fking accuracy).
They’ll wait until about ten o’clock, the bds. Then, just as everyone is starting to get all nicely blootered, the ‘You don’t have to be mad to work here’ crew will cynically descend upon the unsuspecting hostelries. Dressed in the blandest, most inoffensive fancy dress costumes they can find they’ll frantically giggle their way through the crowds, slapping each other’s backs and dribbling into their pails. Oh, how we’ll laugh.
I don’t care for manufactured fun. I particularly don’t care for manufactured fun that has been encouraged by tedious, televisual tosspots who claim to be acting in the interest of the vulnerable while systematically turning a blind eye to several of their colleagues buggering their way through hordes of the very selfsame.
If anyone fking disturbs me while I’m gazing into my lager this evening they will be left in no doubt that I’m not remotely interested in "raising money for ADHD" and if they still won’t leave me alone I shall take a large, greasy st in their bucket.
Red Nose Day should fk off back to 1980, where it bloody well belongs.

k off back to 1980, where it bloody well belongs.People who, when they can't spell something, just have a best-guess stab at it phonetically. Or, worse, have no clue because they're semi-literate and think that's how it actually is spelt.
Case in point is seeing a friend of a friend type "strick" on a reply on Facebook when they meant "strict".
Makes my teeth itch.
