Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
king ugly bPeople who leave electrical items switched on at the unit but unplugged at the wall. The hoover is the best example, as many have an on / off button that has no way of visually identifying what state it is in. You plug it in, switch it on at the wall and the damned thing bursts into life giving you quite a fright if you're not expecting it.

RANT TIME : Effing bloody waiting staff at hotel breakfasts. I'm currently in China on business.
Every time I put something down and look away.... It's GONE.
Breakfast is meant to be a multi course slow start to the day, I will visit the various fruit, pastry, hot and cold buffet items several times during my relaxed hour or so.
I don't want to return to my table, to find my coffee cup gone. The next time it is the juice glass, the portion of butter that was half used, which I was going to put on my new hot toast....
Why take my milk jug when there is still enough left for one more serving.
I feel like an effing Jack in the box.. Up and bloody down every 2 effing minutes to get an item that had next to me 10 seconds before. I've gone through half a box of napkins as they disappear even faster if left alone for more than 2 seconds.

My grandfather was in the Navy in WW2 and experienced this. It was called "the swoop" and you apparently learned to have your hand on or near ever thing swoopable at any one time at all times when eating. Or so he told me. Every time I put something down and look away.... It's GONE.

Keira Knightley. 
Every movie she does I find her very irritating.
Partly it's her fake posh English accent. I saw her interviewed after Bend It Like Beckham and she sounded like every other Londoner comprehensive educated bird.
Yes she's pretty. But I just can't get past her acting ability and voice.

YES!!. Her voice and occasionally her acting destroyed any hope I had of enjoying Pirates of the Caribbean. Cringe worthy. Every movie she does I find her very irritating.
