People who leave out of date tax discs on their windscreen.

Not as much as the ones that kept all the expired discs and include them as part of the car sale. Still can't get my head around it.

Or the ones who used to stack each year's tax disc behind each other on the windscreen 'til it looked like a folder.

Yep. Honestly, the lipstick is like a 1940's we red. And made from crude oil, judging by how bloody difficult it is to shift.

Leaves a tide mark (no pictures required this time please)

Just a harmless bit of additional provenance / history for the car, that's all.

Except it doesn't mean anything that would benefit the seller. Plenty of SORNED cars about that have perfect history.

fking goddam lipstick that she insists on wearing...

Yes, that'll be a difficult one to explain to the wife.....

Latest Heinz advert.... uses music Without You originally written by the two guys in Badfinger who (separately) committed suicide some years later....

Sounds incongruous at best.

Annoys me beyond reason. .

Totally agree.

Still have mine showing, but there is a sticker above it. If I removed the tax disk it would make the sticker look odd 1/3 up the screen. I can’t be as arsed to change it and its not hurting anyone.

Pedestrians who walk on the inside of a blind bend on a road with no pavements.

I'm seeing it more and more around my way.......do these people have a death wish?

Those will be the ones that insist you should walk on the side facing oncoming traffic, regardless of which way the road bends. SWMBO was going to do exactly this, citing the facing oncoming traffic thing too, when we were out walking the other day until I pointed out the stupidity of being on the inside of a blind bend. It took a while but the penny did eventually drop!

I fully agree and there's a registry fix for it, if I can be bothered to GOOGLE FOR IT bkS fk ARSE JOBBIES!!!

By an absolute country mile, and no doubt posted on here many, many times, it's the following:

Should of / could of etc...

That stupid way youngsters speak making the last word of a sentence sound like a question.

People who say "Can I get?"

People who go out with the family and the dog for a nice walk around the woods and then walk on the designated mountain bike trails. Of course it is me who is the bd for riding my bike on the red run and almost running over the kids. fking pricks.

Surely you pointed to the 'bikes only' sign at the start of the run?

When in the wrong resort to shouting and being confrontational no matter how wrong you are because of the danger to the kids....

Aha, yes, very annoying. I must admit to being an advocate of mtbers riding where they should and not tear-arsing about where they're a danger. But also they SHOULD be allowed to tear-arse about on their own bespoke trails unimpeded.

Fussy eaters.
"I don't like tomatoes","I don't like cheese", "I don't like lettuce" etc, etc, blah blah blah.

Just have it and shut your trap, everything you eat hasn't got to be bliss, I'm not asking you to eat rat ste or dishwater, it's not going to be excruciating, you're not going to have to endure it or bear it, it's not going to make you ill you're just not going to love it. Have it and stop whining. Fussy fkers.

I posted earlier that (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) I was finding a colleague getting (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) frequent notifications on their (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) phone whilst it was set to (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) vibrate somewhat (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) annoying. That annoyance has not (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) abated at all. In fact it is (sniffffff) somewhat worse now because (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) they have (sniffffffffffffff) got a cold now and are (snifffffffffff) apparently incapable of (bzzzzt... bzzzzt... snifffffffffffffff) blowing their nose and are instead (snifffffffffff) sniffing it up in a rather (bzzzzt... bzzzzt...) annoying way.

I'm not really cut out for office life really.

bzzzzt... bzzzzt...

People who don't put the "Next Customer Please" widget at the end of their shopping on the conveyor belt.

I am glad I am not alone in getting peeved about this.

Why's that annoying? Its their way of offering to pay for your shopping isn't it?
