Don't Do That With Your Face!

Oh definitely. I now have an uncontrollable urge to hit people who scrunch up their nose and pulled their head into their shoulders when something "cute" is said or seen. It always seems to be the ones wearing loose knit jumpers sitting just off the shoulder who do it as well. . .
I find that quite endearing...
If it niggles slightly when you first meet some one, it will bug the hell out of you later in life.
I point out annoyances early on in a relationship, and expect the same back, we are eager to please a new partner and will make the change. Later it would be un reasonable to expect something that has been 'acceptable' for years to be changed.
This is soooooo true, how many batchelors now put the loo seat down out of habbit?

Oh yes! Some habits, once endearing, can inded become intensely annoying.
A very good friend of mine once went caravaning with her now husband. When I asked her how it went, she replied, saying that she nearly packed up and came home on the first day. Somewhat suprised, I asked her why. She said it was because her other half, whenever asked what he wanted to do, just said, "I don't mind." It was a case of saying it just once too often.

What's the big deal about toilet seats anyway? If you want it down, put it down. In a mixed sex domestic arrangement there will always be someone who wants the seat up and someone who wants it down. FFS it's not very strenuous to lift/lower the seat.
The wife lives in a house with 3 males (4 if the 3rd kid is a boy). So, the beeeach should go with the majority and leave it up.

Ah, but when you lads miss, the loo seat covers up those stains that you never bother to clean off!

, I have a 3 year old with terrible aim and he has a 30 year old dad who is even worse 
k off! 
The thing that annoys me more than anything else about people? People who arrange to do something or meet somewhere, over the phone, and it's central to what you've planned for the night or whatever, then don't show up/do what they said they would, and switch their phone off so you can't find out exactly why you've wasted your time/money/breath/energy/evening. That annoys me intensely, even more so as it seems to happen on an almost daily basis.
I have a mate who really gets on my wick sometimes as he absolutely cannot do more than one thing at once. He's a lovely guy but a while back when I was giving him a lift and following his directions and he couldn't cope with even pointing to an exit and talking on the phone at the same time, I was starting to lose it. Especially when we shot past the motorway exit; a point he couldn't make until he'd hung up the phone 10 minutes later.
Oh, another one: people that call me to go for a beer and, when I tell them I'm already out, ask "Who are you with?" It's as if they're scouting round for the best offer or something. My mates seem fine with this - indeed it seems common practice - but it irritates me. If I call a mate, fancying a beer and he says he's in the Dog & Dipstick or whatever and I'm welcome, then I go. I don't sully the invitation by questioning him. Or it might just be me...

Oh yeah - another one. I've got a mate who only seems to listen to the first 10 seconds of tracks on CDs. He'll dig a new one out, say 'what do you think of this, play the intro, then skip it. He'll skip right through the CD, then put another one on and do the same. It's like he can't hack a full-length song.
