Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
The 'new generation' ticket barriers being installed when Tube stations are being upgraded - e.g. Liverpool Street and Farringdon.
Put the ticket in and there is a short delay before the barriers open - so you can't proceed through without stopping - causes all sorts of issues during the busy periods. I've been semi-bummed from behind on numerous occasions by impatient fellow-commuters...
And before anyone asks, yes, I have contactless, and use it on occasion, but commuting into town from where I do, I have to buy a ticket, and it's cheaper to buy a combined train/tube ticket than do it separately.

On a similar note NCP have just changed their ticket machines at all my local multistorey carparks and now they randomly swallow my ticket or don't provide me with a receipt so I have no evidence of my parking charge and I can't claim it on expenses. There was nothing wrong with the old machines. They worked just fine.
The passenger in a smart suit and tie, who was in the silver Golf behind me on a dual carriageway, who buzzed down his window and casually dropped an empty can of pepsi on to the road.
I slowed down so he could overtake, and as he drew alongside I beeped and mouthed 'What the EFF do you think you're doing?'
He looked completely baffled and confused, which leads me to believe that to him, lobbing stuff out of a window is as normal as breathing or blinking and thus doesn't even register with him when he's doing it.
I was going to take the number and report him, but didn't want to waste Police time, and one would imagine that him and his mate (the driver), would anyway just state that I must have been mistaken officer.
Hate people like this!

Back to things that annoy, etc. This doesn't only annoy, it's loathsome.
I'm referring to 'Impractical Jokers', which I don't watch but I seemingly can't even get away from its trailers.
However did this bunch of inane, giggling ninnies get even a first series, never mind the new series that's being plugged. I really have seen less infantile behaviour from pre - teens.

McDonald's advert is really driving me to distraction.
Stops her kid having any sort of fun, don't ride that bike over a small ramp, don't run near puddles don't do anything except eat junk food. That's all good.
