Dogs in eating establishments.
If it's not a Guide Dog then f
k off outside with the smokers. 
I ate in a place a while back where the people at the next table had dog with them. Doesn't bother me in the slightest but it seemed a bit harsh on the poor dog who watched my every forkful and begrudged me each one If it's not a Guide Dog then f

Those people on FaceBook who think it's so funny to post Only xxxxx sleeps** until Christmas.
**sleeps annoys me as well
We have a weekly team conference call, as a lot of us work remotely. In aob, every week, one woman announces how many sleeps there are until Christmas. It gets boring very quickly. **sleeps annoys me as well

Gambling and online slots adverts on TV
The whole lot of them should be banned.
It would be a bit hypocritical for them to ban the adverts for gambling but then allow all the nightly casino shows on some of the best known independent channels. The whole lot of them should be banned.
The Amount of people who can not control their habit and the money lending scams with ever increasing interest rates is a major crisis and it will get worse
This one had flames coming out of my ears.
My brother-in-law has started riding a bike in order to lose a bit of weight, and get fit.
The other day, his wife had gone on an overnight trip to visit one of their adult daughters, so my wife, his sister, invited him over for dinner.
He put his bike in our hall, drank a lot of booze, and phoned for a cab to go home, then called late at night to ask if it would be okay to collect the bike at 07.30 next morning.
I advised him that rather than wake us up, he could use the lockbox which is screwed into the wall next to the street door, and contains spare keys in case anyone forgets theirs.
I said, “Slide the small shield down to reveal the combination numbers, line up XXXX on the centre line, the box will open, let yourself in, take the bike, go out, lock the door with the keys and put the keys back in the lockbox.”
This he did, leaving the combination XXXX in place, as it was, instead of moving the numbers around to break the correct combination.
The keys were in the box, but if anyone had chanced their arm, they could have used the keys, and helped themselves.
When I told my wife, she flew to his defence, “Don’t have a go at him, he didn’t do it on purpose!”
I wanted to kill him.

I hope you have now changed the combination? Don't trust anyone
And don't set it to 0000

The muppet at work who parks their bicycle in the bike shed but refuses to put their front wheel in the holder, so it takes up at least 2 slots leaning on it's sidestand, and sticks out a couple of feet in to the already quite narrow gap between the rows. Yesterday they'd managed to do it right by one of the shed roof pillars so the gap was even narrower.
I could understand it with a skinny tyred races but it's a chunky wheeled Dutch cargo bike, they're nearly indestructible!

Yes I have, and I’ve told my kids, who’ve never had to use it, save for my elder son who lives in Germany, and has the habit of leaving my spare keys in a schrank drawer, in his house in Bielefeld.I hope you have now changed the combination? Don't trust anyone

Naturally I’ve also told my wife, who’s never had to use it either, but as dumb behaviour runs in her family, she’d almost certainly phone me to ask the combination anyway.
The unrelenting aggressive attitude of 'questioning' from 'BBC Breakfast' presenters when they are interviewing, ( more like an interrogation), politicians. Specifically Dan Walker this morning - Like a bloody dog with a bone.
They need to tone it down, as their style is totally unnecessary.
Give it a rest.
