The bloody scrotes who live next door. They are obese work shy Redditch spongers who communicate with each other in what I can only describe as 'sounds' at the top of their voices the whole time.
There are far too many things that piss me off about them but this evening they attempted some gardening. This involved reaching over our fence to grab a tree that was overhanging their garden and snapping it off leaving a splintered trunk in our garden.
Admittedly the tree has sprouted up recently and it wasn't in the main bit of our garden but would it have killed them to ask is first?

Know-it-alls on car forums who insist on giving incorrect advice
Case in point tonight - Toyota MR2 Mk1 owner asking advice on replacing the voltage regulator on his '88 SC model. Know-it-all leaps in and says the regulator is part of the alternator so can't be replaced without swapping the whole alternator, and implies that the car's owner is dumb for not knowing that. In actual fact the SC models with the 4A-GZE engine have a separate voltage regulator mounted in the boot.

I use the Jubilee line from Waterloo station to London Bridge and back again each day, walking up two escalators.
It annoys me totally when the commuters who don't want to walk up the escalator and would rather stand on the left still clog up the right hand side as you walk up to the escalator and only move to the left as they hop on.
I hope that makes sense!

I've read this 3 times now and I still can't work out whether you are saying people *should* stand on the left and you want to pass on the right, or whether they should stand on right and are standing on the left.

They want to stand on the right going up the escalator and I want to walk up the escalator on the left.
However when walking to the escalator they still stand on the left and only move to the right once they hop on, rather than forming a queue. Left for walking, right for standing.
Is that better?!

There are signs prominently displayed on most London Underground escalators that say "stand on the right", which is what people should be doing. Stand on the right, walk on the left, unless it's so rammed that it isn't possible to walk on the left due to a people jam.
I confess that often I walk up the left until there is a gap on the right and pop into that gap on the right to stand if I want to stand. I wouldn't just get on the left and then stop though - that would be poor London etiquette.

I spend a lot of time at airports / flying.
People standing side by side on travellators at airports or placing their bags on one side and stand on the other. They are oblivious to the fact that other passengers may like to walk past or are dashing to make a connecting flight.
Passengers who put their flight bags in the nearest overhead space and then walk half way down the plane to their seat.
