Mobile phone vibration alerts in an office environment, when the phone is placed on a desk. The desk amplifies the vibration and manages to penetrate my noise-cancelling headphones far more than a sound would.
Also, if someone is getting a lot of notifications then it's almost constant and very annoying.
Point of tedium:Also, if someone is getting a lot of notifications then it's almost constant and very annoying.
I turned off the "vibrate" function on my phone back in December. I can't believe I put up with it for so long - I have had my phones on silent as a default since about 2002 when I first got one with the vibrate alert. But turning off all audible notifications, I'm so much happier for doing so. I only have it on any kind of noise when I know I might get a call and need to answer it, but otherwise, silence and peace. It is a delight.

They annoy me beyond reason because I'm pretty sure that the majority of 'bad drivers' have no clue whatsoever that they're doing anything wrong.
They're the kind of people who will hotly say "I'm a good driver! I passed first time!" 
These people have no concept of advanced tuition. It's strange really, because if you study an academic subject you expect to do a GCSE, an A-level, a degree, maybe a masters degree, and possibly even a PhD, in order to become an expert in your field. Yet most drivers appear to think that education ceases upon passing their driving test.
I'm in my 40's, have done several advanced driving courses, handling courses, and track tuition, and I wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that I have nothing left to learn about driving.
But I digress.

Reminds me of a 'spider incident' when I was a kid. My brother ran downstairs crying to mum one night. He claimed he'd been "bitten" by a small, brightly coloured spider that had got into his bed. And to be fair, there was a bite mark from something on his upper arm. Anyway. Mum calmed him down, and "put some cream on it" for him, and back he came to bed. But while he was downstairs I'd found my big rubber spider, the kind that hangs from a piece of elastic so that it's long black legs kinda wobble in the air. Then I put it under his duvet and waited for his return.
Boy, was I deep in the st when mum came up the stairs to see what all the screaming was about.
Hi. My name is yellowjack, and I'm a sociopath. What do I win?
My brother & I did a similar thing to my mum...the house had a big iron hook in a beam so we tied a big rubber spider to some string & raised it to the hook. As my mum came in we dropped it down in front of her face...Im sure the scream could be heard 10 miles away Boy, was I deep in the s

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?d for riding my bike on the red run and almost running over the kids. fking pricks.My journey to work this morning was ruined - I was annoyed beyond reason!
A pleasant enough day, dry and clear with the prospect of sunshine later.
Followed a Renault something estate whose rear wiper wiped at nothing, intermittently, the whole time.
I have no idea why it annoyed me so much, but it did.

Annoys me too. I regularly see a VW Caddy van with no glass in the rear door, but a wiper which is always wiping.A pleasant enough day, dry and clear with the prospect of sunshine later.

Hardly treason though!
fking goddam lipstick that she insists on wearing, smearing all over the mug that she thrusts in my hand to take downstairs on my way out, and then transferring on to me, my shirt, my car seat etc.
So I'm sitting at work with a red smear down my shirt, which will probably not come out, all in the name of (her) fking fashion.
I then ttted my head on the hanging basket outside the porch which I told her would get in the way but she put up anyway.
Anyone know a hitman?

e red. And made from crude oil, judging by how bloody difficult it is to shift. People that walk diagonally across roads. Had some numpty this morning that did one better and managed a nice parabola to arrive almost tangentially at the opposite pavement. Had he walked straight across he'd have been on the pavement way before I got to him, but due to his stupid route I had to slow down to avoid running him over.
