I know it's been mentioned before, but the chugging heavy metal guitar riffs that are played during programmes like "How It's Made". Really intrusive and annoying.

I suspect that if you watch 'How it's Made', you really, really need to get a life, and once you have found one, 'chugging heavy metal guitar riffs' probably wouldn't be worthy of note. I hope.There is a big wide world out there, you might be surprised.
te on an internet forum......

Oi There is a big wide world out there, you might be surprised.
How It's Made is actually very interesting for engineering enthusiasts like myself who like to know how everything works and goes together. I could spend hours and hours watching it!
(Also, I can't say I've ever been bothered by the backing music. If you think the UK version with Robert Llewellyn's soothing voice is annoying, try watching the non-overdubbed originals - they are narrated by a nasal, high pitched American woman who's voice makes me want to throw something at the screen)
People who don't indicate when turning left, either on a roundabout or into a side street. Earlier today I was sat waiting to turn right onto the main road and two cars were coming from my right, about 50 yards apart. Yes, you've guessed it, BOTH of them turned into the road I was waiting to turn out of without indicating! You might say it's only 30 seconds lost but it's 30 seconds that could have been avoided. The second lady seemed very confused when I tooted my horn at her in frustration.
Also my work and some of the people that work there. Honestly the job isn't rocket science. Everything you need to do, ask or complete is on the screen in a clearly clickable format yet some still manage to get it wrong. Can I go up and slap them on the back of the head for doing it? No, I have to 'submit feedback' to their Team Leader.

Just googled that, but not sure I'm any the wiser 
Our solution was to move house. The new place has a cubicle and it's brilliant.
