Things that annoy you beyond reason...?
Discussion
Stuff that doesn't work. Be it a mechanical device or some sort of electronic gadget.
Why doesn't my Alpine stereo always connect to my ipod in my car 100% of the time? "Error. Can't connect Ipod."
Why not? I've plugged it in. That's all I have to do, the rest is up to the electrical bits and bobs. Oh, ok, I'll press reset and start again. Brilliant.
Why does the Bluetooth doohicky never work? "Error. Bluetooth connection failed."
So I'll reconnect it shall I? Don't bother trying to yourself, you're just a collection of diodes and volts and stuff - how could you possibly be expected to maintain the connection you were designed to do...

The train/tube/lift scenario just reminded me of how hateful the rush for Easyjet flights are in departures. Really, do these people have no dignity?!?!
This is particularly dedicated to the 5'4" scrote who literaly barged in front of me to get on the plane before me to take the last seat with acceptable legroom, (overwing exits!), then I, (a whole foot and a bit taller than him!), had to force myself into a seat that you couldn't fit a baby in comfortably!
I know I have no rights to those seats, and I know you're all gonna say that I should've flown BA/Virgin/Emirates/Qantas, but the brass neck of this little peon as he sat there with a smug look on his face while I had my knees round my ears deserved nothing less than a nuke from space!

ts that drive on the motorway that cut across from the outside lane across to the inside lane and then decide to drive at a slow,sudden 40mph!
I had to swerve to miss her yesterday as she decided to cut every car up on the motorway, put her brakes on and sit at 40 which caused myself who was on the inside lane and the car in the middle lane to swerve to miss her whilst doing 70!
ahh! i feel better now!
What are the odds that she had a phonecall!ts that drive on the motorway that cut across from the outside lane across to the inside lane and then decide to drive at a slow,sudden 40mph!I had to swerve to miss her yesterday as she decided to cut every car up on the motorway, put her brakes on and sit at 40 which caused myself who was on the inside lane and the car in the middle lane to swerve to miss her whilst doing 70!

My thing that annoys me are people who drive along with a phone stuck to their ear. they can afford a £40k car, but can't afford bluetooth! Even if you have a £1k car you can afford Bluetooth!

Taking a leek at someone's house and the toilet seat won't stay up.
YES!! There should be some kind of standard / law against seats that don't stay up on their own.There is only one thing worse than trying to hold your pecker, keep your jeans from falling down and touching the bowl + using the other hand to keep the seat up and thats the seat that drops mid-flow!!
Thus creating a massive bang in the bathroom (host instantly alerted to your plight) + the seat crosses your stream and causes splash back

Did that in my dads house in London, seat fell down, bowl smashed to a zillion bits...... he wasn't amused at all, accidents hapen I told him. Thus creating a massive bang in the bathroom Fortunately it was a rented house, quick phone call to sort it.
I get irritated by people pluralising an abbreviation by putting an apostrophe and an S after it.
eg.
DVD's
R888's
GT3's
etc.
( this thread is a case in point)
Yes, I know it's no big deal but it gets me irritated and that was what the OP asked.
Also when people don't know the difference between its (possessive) and it's (abbreviation of "it is")

People who are unable to walk in a straight line, so as you're about to pass them they drift in front of you, closing the gap. Usually women for some reason.
Fat people, again usually women, who barrel through trains to get a seat, almost as if their life depended on it. Then get off at the next stop, 2 minutes later.
People who use a cash machine and then continue to stand in front of it while studying the easily-digestible-in-seconds information on the mini-statement. GET OUT OF THE fkING WAY. Had this twice recently and both required "have you finished?" before realsing that "wow, there are other people in this world, and some of them are also queuing at my cash machine!"
Utter, utters. Die!
