Couples, usually in their mid thirties, who equate a stroll along the prom with climbing the north face of the Eiger.

As in dressed head to toe in North Face gear, with his and hers matching Merrell shoes, complete with 35l daysacks, and all for a gentle ramble down by the beach.

Now to await all of the 'Well, how do you know that they weren't going to finish their Raspberry Ripples and then run up Snowdon?' comments.

Especially if they have walking poles too.

Also mainly older tourists who feel the need to dress head to toe in beige when on holiday. Obviously their wardrobe at home is segregated into "normal clothes" and "beige holiday clothes". These are usually coach tour types who have to go everywhere in a pack of about 40 people even when not on their coach!

Right now I reckon this would be more appropriate clothing for a walk on the prom here

I know what you mean, but IMO less annoying than those strolling up actual mountains in jeans, trainers and t-shirts, and with no other kit, some of whom will undoubtedly end up calling out mountain rescue and/or search and rescue helicopter following an all-too-avoidable fk up.

Well it does happen we went up the cable car onto Mont Saleve to be told later we had to walk down as it was windy, now I am fully aware due to no towers it is susceptible to closing due to the wind same as Whistler and a few others we have been up.

Jeans and trainers we were wearing but we are not stupid so are safe, but on the way down last weekend someone was walking up with flipflops.
Now that is silly.

Just to edit, if we had been warned we would not have gone up, but they didn't know either.

who's obviously opened their door into my car at work, and negated to come inform me, as such I now have a dent on the door, hope I find out who it was tomorrow.

The bamboo ones sound like something by Carl Orff when he was on speed.

bd things. What pisses me off more about them is you start to listen to them and then think that there is some 'tune' to them, but no, just fking noise machines. Should be banned under some international EU regulation under noise law.

People who smack their lips when eating. In fact, people who are audible in any way when eating.

This also annoys me. That 'sucking sound' people make when eating something hot can be irritating, but I have been guilty of this on occasion so I let it slide. But when that 'sucking sound' is used on cold food to act as a vacuum, instead of using their lips to ensure efficient transition of food from fork to mouth, that angers me.

...or people who eat with their elbows out.

And then loudly ask you to tuck your elbows in, despite the fact that if yours went in any more they'd become internal elbows (inbows?).

I'M SORRY THAT YOU'RE SO FAT THAT YOU HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO TAKE THE HEAT OF YOURSELF BY TRYING TO IMPLICATE THE SKINNY PERSON NEXT TO YOU WHO IS CLEARLY SQUASHED, YOU tt!

Songs that appear in movies that are never put out on general release or even on movie soundtracks.

A couple of examples:

"Breakin' The Ice" by Martha Wash. Awesome song was featured in the movie "Gung-Ho", but never released.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGVFsZz_mA0

"Don't Ask the Reason Why" by Restless Heart. Featured in the movie "Secret of my Success". The song is actually on the movie soundtrack, but the words in the movie are different (and IMO much better) but you can't get hold of the movie version.

Bloody rush hour ditherers.

1.Doing 35 in a two lane section of the M4 and leaving about half a mile between you and the car in front, and then finding out the reason is because he's shagging texting someone.

2. Taking 5 seconds to finally realise that the lights have turned green, despite the two cars in front of you now being tiny dots in the distance.

3. Just not getting on with it, your wife may be ugly and you're having salad for dinner, but some of us actually would like to get home!
