    Another little thing that annoys me is that Paddy Power advert … the "this is what it’s like to lose a £50 bet" one where that dorky looking bloke keeps grinning at the camera!

    Arrrghhhhh!

    People — and that seems to be the majority of the English population — who seem incapable of pronouncing the word "February".

    Whatever happened to the "r" in the middle?

    I’ve never lost a £50 bet but I know people who have, and for sure none of them ever found anything to smile about. Although credit to Paddy Power for being the only bookie I’ve seen so far to have an advert featuring a woman that doesn’t also feature the word ‘bingo’.

    1) Yes!! That grinning baboon with the huge conker. How annoying is that advert – way, way, way too long.

    How about people who walk down the street and / or use public transport, listening to their mobile phones / media devices with NO headphones – do they think they’re making some sort of statement? So ******* rude.

    2) People who wear jeans around their ass, exposing their underwear. Looks so uncomfortable.

    Some people have no class.

    3) Old people in the post office.

    and the use of Americanisms which have crept into the English language. For example, the use of this word – undoubtably (???) :roll: . For the love of Jesus, the word is undoubtedly !

    Then there’s this one. "Oh, you like soccer, do you ?" :x

    No, no, nooooo… I’m not American – I like football, football, football ! Arghhhhh ! :evil:

    …not to mention being in the land of the gonna’s and wanna’s…

    mind you, I do find their ‘ass’ more agreeable than our equivalent, which seems such a tongue twister to me.

    Wasps are little things and particularly annoying. And nits. And gnats, thunderflies and Paul Daniels.

    Also spouses who put butter on toast or jacket taters and then realising they haven’t put enough on put the same knife covered in breadcrumbs or potato back in the butter. Squeezing the toothpaste from the top of the tube. Pubs that pour a half pint in a seperate glass rather than possibly giving you a fluid ounce too much in the half full pint glass you already have.

    That sodding advert for Thompsons with the Redknapps in it, is very trying.

    Toilet attendants in posh hotels or casinos who hover near you when you are washing your hands then hand you a towel or brush down your jacket etc I presume in search of a tip……………mortifyingly embarassing and the most unnecessary thing in the world IMO………..luxurious service?………….no,ludicrous humiliation more like..owners or managers of these establishments…….stop it now.

    Buying a newspaper to find that I am the ungrateful recipient of a dozen or so advertising flyers and a womens magazine in the centre.

    Shop attendants that ask me if I have anything smaller when I reluctantly have to hand over a fiver to buy said paper.
    "Err… actually, yes I do have but I love the weighty jingle, jangle of coins in my trouser pocket when I needlessly break into my crisp five pound note for a 60p paper instead of giving you the exact change"

    Many moons ago when i use to go around selling sandwiches at a hospital, it would amaze me the amount of people who would pull out a twenty/ten or fiver to buy say a £1.50 cheese and pickle, when asked if they had anything smaller you would get a fair few say ‘no i haven’t got anything smaller’ so i go into my tin and start counting out 50p’s in change only for them to mysteriously find the correct money. :?
