Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)

Now obviously, this is the annoy beyond reason thread, you've every right to your irrational annoyance, but I'm curious - what would be better/less annoying? I drive a) a van with b) hand controls so waving's doubly useless as an option - if someone's been nice, I'm gonna thank them, and I don't know another way to do it!
Up here with all the dark hours there is 2 ways to thank someone, 2 flashes of the hazards (What I do) or a flash of main beam. Because nothing says thankyou like blinding someone for a few seconds.....
Using the indicators doesnt really work with modern "1 touch" stalks and you are far more likely to confuse other road users with random indicating.

Shops that insist on spending ages taking all your details before they sell you whatever item you are stood at the till with.
Maplin, Screwfix, toolstation and loads of others.
Hugely annoying, and all so they can send heaps of junk mail through your letterbox.
I did see someone get a refund at maplin using just their postcode and an approximate date and store location. So it's not totally pointless.Maplin, Screwfix, toolstation and loads of others.

So now I just ask "do I have to provide that information?". Turns out, when put like that, I don't.

Adobe fking Acrobat, and the fact that there is no easy way to change the default save location. I save most of my work on a mapped shared network drive. With Office I can change the default save location to a folder on that drive. Not with fking Acrobat!
I always save (everything) to my Desktop and then move it. A history of working for organisations with shoddy networks has taught me never to save a document to anywhere other than the machine it's being created on.Morningside said:

People who leave out of date tax discs on their cars. Yes, I can see that you were taxed up to 31st January 2015. So fking what?
I think its just forgetfulness/laziness in not removing it (I haven't) rather than some conspiracy to annoy you. I have a sticker above mine and removing the disk would leave the sticker looking odd. I would have to remove both and buy another sticker to mount it were the disk was. Can't be bothered.
