Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
Arrrrgh!
Laundry. Specifically my entire family's ability to leave half of any garment or pair of socks inside out.
Feckin jeans - one leg in, one out. Shirts - one sleeve in, one out. Socks - one sock inside out, t'other the right way out. My wife can even turn a pair of knickers half inside out, and it's driving me nuts. They don't peg out or dry properly left like this anyway.
My OCD (proper, diagnosed, etc) means that I can't simply leave things as they are and pass the dry items back to those who cause the problem to sort, no sir. Treatment means that I've managed to stop colour matching the pegs to the garments, and pairing them up on the line, but this morning out of a full load from a 'plus size' washing machine only one garment belonging to someone other than myself was "right" enough to be pegged out straight away.
Also, again part of the OCD thing, wives who put socks away "wrong". Beyond reason? Definitely. But it annoys me massively. She pairs up the socks and rolls the top of one over onto the other to keep them together. Grrr! Surely EVERYONE knows that they need to be folded together properly with 'smiley faces' before they go into the drawer?

On the motorway...
People who cruise along slowly in a clear and freely moving lane two, trying to jump a stationary queue extending down the slip into lane one in the hope that a gap will open up for them to simply nip in....only it doesn't so they just stop.
A job for APIS I believe.People who cruise along slowly in a clear and freely moving lane two, trying to jump a stationary queue extending down the slip into lane one in the hope that a gap will open up for them to simply nip in....only it doesn't so they just stop.

If someone in a different supermarket queue jumped in front of you in your queue,yo would have words, not blindly wave them by.
Had this the other day...M890 south of Erskine Bridge splits up,L1 goes East,L2 goes west.Due to roadworks on the M8 that L1 joins,there was a huge queu but people kept going by in L2 and pulling in at the last minute,blocking L2 and causing a jam for people that went West,for no reason other than being selfish idiots.
There was nt a gap in slow moving traffic for them to pull into,it was stationary & nose to tail so they had to barge in.

yj, forgive me, I realise it's a condition and I don't mean this in any way maliciously, but Treatment means that I've managed to stop colour matching the pegs to the garments
Colour matching pegs to clothes is genius.
There were red plastic pegs, and blue plastic pegs among the contents of the bag. At my worst, I would sort them out in order of my 'corps colours' from when I was in the army -
Red/Blue/Red/Red/Blue/Red...
...my wife solved that particular problem by buying a pack of traditional wooden pegs that were all identical.

Tomorrow the Cardiff Velothon is being held.
The road closures in place all day inconveniencing many thousands of people annoy me.
The fact that between 9:00am and 6:00 pm I won't be able to get my car out of or into the village I live in on the outskirts of Cardiff riles me
Surely it can't be legal to deny me and hundreds of other people access to the road network just because some MAMILs want to pedal their funny little bikes along the roads while dressed in lycra?

I get annoyed at the driver of the huge Mercedes van who parks across my drive every saturday and sunday. I ask him to move it, he says nowhere else to park, sorry. I ask him to move it, he shrugs, I tell him that if he doesnt move it I will tell the rozzers, he says ok do that, but I know where you live. Had a quiet word with the police, he is known to the police with a history, they suggest I learn to live with it.
Annoying.

What annoys me even more than the road closures is the fact you're not allowed to close roads for motorsport events but cycling, running, skipping, hoopla etc events are.The road closures in place all day inconveniencing many thousands of people annoy me.

That's no longer true. The law was recently changed - last year I think - and now roads can be closed for motorsport. Edit: 2 years ago in fact - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/114921

Do you mean like the IoM TT, the Northwest 2000, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Jim Clark Rally?
IoM TT is in the IoM - different laws there. Likewise Monaco which isn't in the UK. And the Jim Clark Rally has special dispensation (see the autosport link above). Anyway, as I said, the law has changed now.
