The fact that many drivers still display tax discs. Especially ones that have now expired.
How lazy do you have to be not to remove it, especially once expired (and therefore no longer acting as a reminder)?
I have an E30Zone sticker above my tax disc. If I removed the tax disk it would leave the sticker looking odd being 1/3 of the way up the window. How lazy do you have to be not to remove it, especially once expired (and therefore no longer acting as a reminder)?

Why? It normally gets their attention better than phoning up about it. I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but there isn't a thread entitled "Things that bemuse you beyond reason..." so here goes.
I just saw a car with a sticker on the back which read "My Brother Is In The Navy".
What the f
k? Who fking cares? My brother is a secondary school teacher, my Grandmother used to help out in the Oxfam shop and my Uncle managed a medium-sized branch of WHSmith but I certainly have no intention or desire to advertise these facts on the back of my car. Maybe this makes me the weirdo. I don't know any more.

My wife leaving the Fairy Liquid on the work top every fking night instead of putting it back in the cupboard under the sink WHERE SHE GOT IT FROM. 
When speccing up the kitchen in my previous house I specced a "one and a quarter" sink because, as the cook of the household, I wanted to be able to drain saucepans into the quarter sink whilst cooking, rather than trying to pour down the side of the washing up bowl as is usual for just a single sink. king night instead of putting it back in the cupboard under the sink WHERE SHE GOT IT FROM. Within 2 days of installation, the wife was using the quarter sink to store the washing up liquid, dish brush, etc.

Kids.
I could probably leave it there actually. But, specifically, if something is fun once then it is apparently fun 100 times in succession. It's one of the many things that irritate me about them.
About an hour ago I was in a café having to listen to a little girl on a nearby table ask her parents and grandparents "Heads or Tails?" again and again and again and again. Fortunately they eventually finished up and left, which was somewhat of a relief for me.
Still, better than screaming babies / toddlers, I guess.

Where you not a child once? Or were you born perfect at the age of 21? It annoys me beyond reason people who can't put up with children occasionally. I have two who happen to be quite well behaved, but even so it was just a youngster playing a game. Obviously you didn't ever scream or cry whilst you were a baby either.
