fking idiots doing u-turns. Always at the most inopportune, inconsiderate moments causing congestion and traffic mayhem for hundreds of other motorists and almost side swiping motorcyclists at the same time. Selfish fks.

Or worse, 3 point turns on a main road.

Or worse still. Articulated lorries attempting multi-point 'U' turns at a small roundabout. Despite the fact that it's patently obvious to anyone who's successfully completed their C+E test that there's absolutely no fking way you're going to swing any kind of trailer around such a small island in short order. It took a cyclist to bring some sort of order to proceedings, guiding the truck back enough that he could at least make a right turn off the roundabout. Straight into a housing estate that is effectively a large cul-de-sac.

All that jazz

People who reply to your out of office message to ask when you'll be back in the office.

People - and by "people" I mean women; and by "women" I mean one in particular - who, when discussing a choice or option you have say "Well, it's up to you" and then when you've voiced your preference proceed to lecture you on why your choice is wrong and how their way is so much better.

It's not "up to me" then, is it?

Primary school children (of around 6 or 7) with top knot, mohawk or just generally "grown up" hair cuts - it's not my child, it's not my hair, annoys me to heck all the same.

Our Mumbai office set theirs when the go home at night. Because of the time difference you almost always get an out of office email from them.

It's probably been mentioned somewhere in the 50 pages of this topic but..

I really hate people on here who will quote a lengthy post or a post that has several photos on it, only for them to type a couple of words.
fking annoying! It's all over threads such as the 'decently modified cars' one.

I cant stand how every written article,review,news bulletin etc.. has to summarise the concept of what it is talking about as if the reader is a complete brainless cretin.

For example, I wanted to read about the top 11 tents on T3 just now. I had to plough through 2 paragraphs of inane drivel explaining to me what a tent is and when I might want to use one.

T3 article said;

"Whether you're camping, glamping or have been thrown out by your spouse and lost your job, we've got the canvas temporary abodes you crave: tents. There’s nothing like sleeping out, but you still need protection from the elements.

These tents fit the bill, whether you're sheltering on the side of a tough mountain, chilling at a festival, or living the life of a latterday gypsy. Ultimately, the type of trip you embark upon will dictate the type of tent you need. So, if you’re hiking up the side of the mountain you’re going to need something light, packable and sturdy in inclement weather, while a more relaxed kind of vacation calls for something as big and comfortable as possible."

I KNOW WHAT A fkING TENT IS. JUST TELL ME WHAT TOUR TOP 11 ONES ARE!!

All that jazz

Gullibles fall for that stuff.

SImilar to branding stuff 'organic' and then charging a premium for it.

I hate that stuff too. Most articles now I just completely skip the first or second paragraph.

You wouldn't want dodgy, questionable salmon now, would you?

"hey boss, want some salmon? cheap yeah, no questions"
