People who drive agonisingly slowly on country roads or anywhere you can’t overtake, who then reach a speed restriction zone in a built up area…..and proceed to break the speed limit.
AAAARGH!!!!!
People who, in a busy street or in a shop, will amble along and then stop to look at something without thinking to get as far out of the way of the general flow of people as possible. Case in point being the phenomenally annoying w***er who decided to stop, dead in the middle of an aisle in M&S the other day, whilst I was on a lunch break from work, running errands for other people and trying to cram in the finding, purchasing and eating of something for lunch. He wasn’t browsing, he wasn’t buying, he wasn’t inspecting any potential purchase, he just stopped dead and stared into space, while a small herd of doddering old women gradually tottered past him over the course of the next three minutes (ten per cent of my bloody lunch break!) before I could get past.
Oh and one more: people who come in to work and, instead of accepting that all the shop floor staff are working and already serving customers, they don’t browse around or come back later, they stand and glare at you as if you’re wasting their free time. And then when you ask who is next in your most polite voice, they barge up to you and demand "Is it ready?"
You have to assume that these people chose to come to us in the first place because over the last ten years the firm has built a strong reputation of being reliable, punctual and generally dead good at what we do as well as providing top class customer service, but apparentlly the concept that we haven’t miraculously achieved this without ever repairing or altering an item for anyone else in the history of time apart from them is a stretch too far.
Oh and people who get arsey and pretend they’re perfectly in the right, when the surrounding twenty people are a bit bloody annoyed when they’ve made a point of arriving early and waiting outside in the cold for the honour and memory value of finally getting to the front of a monumentally huge gig, before they show up an hour later and try to push their way to the front. Then they have the sheer audacity (yes, I know that’s the name of Oath’s dam etc etc, I don’t mean they own her) to get attitudal when someone dares to call them what they are. Which is a tw*t.
Rant over.
Hmmm… In no particular order…
1. Marauding salespeople at train stations.
“Do you pay for your glasses?”
“No, I steal them, you moron.”2. Old people in electric mobility cars driving at your ankles as they whizz along crowded pavements at 20mph and then looking at you like you’re the devil’s spawn when you don’t immediately jump out of their way and beg forgiveness.
3. The ridiculously punctual and organised – they just make me feel inadequate for being normal and relaxed about things.
4. ‘Nice’ bands that sit squarely in the middle of the road tapping their tambourines and strumming their electro-acoustics along to their oh-so-clever little non-controversial love songs that come from anywhere but the heart but still somehow sail up the charts with alarming regularity. For the record, Scouting For Girls are the new Toploader, and they and their kind can bugger right off.
5. Putting a cold drink in your bag, and then forgetting about it until you are really thirsty but it has warmed up sufficiently to be completely unsatisfying even though you feel compelled to drink it rather than purchasing a new, cold one.
6. New 5p coins – they’re shoite and they know they are…
Phew! And I’m sure there might be some more later!
Apologies – somehow managed to quote my own post whilst trying to edit it – in stupid mode tonight….pfft!
Still don’t like people who can’t drive though. Tossers.
If yer need some money for a public service, like the health, service we’ll argue for years and then there is none.
If yer need some money for a public service, like education, we”ll argue for years and then there is none.
If yer need some money for a public service, like transport, we”ll argue for years and then there is none.
If you need some money for a private enterprise going tits up like a building society, Will 25 billion do for the time being? There you are.
No consultation, no discussion, no kiss my arse, no nothing!
on the driving theme, i was driving home the other night and the guy in front broke sharpish and i ran into the back of his car. as he got out to remonstrate with me i noticed he was a dwarf. he walked up to my car and i wound the window down and he says ‘i’m not happy’
‘go on then’ i replied ‘which one are you’

but seriously, not being able to have a smoke with my pint …. don’t get me started on that ….
Well hmmmmmm thinkingggggg……..really only taxi drivers who don’t know their left from their right – but I’m even getting used to that now.
Singapore turns you into a very patient person it’s either that or find another planet pronto.
Handing over a twenty or a ten only for the shop assistant to ask me if I have anything smaller.
"Yes actually I do but I’d much prefer to be rid of the lightweight and discreet note and add to the loose change rattling around in my packet that I could by the way have got rid of by giving you the exact change."
"Of course I don’t have anything ******* smaller"
That and all the dodgy flyers you find in the midle of a newspaper nowadays. I’m sure the ManYoo quilt would look great on my bed but I think I’ll pass for the time being.
Too many driving related ones to mention.

Things that annoy me .. politicians really annoy me, that’s why I don’t watch the news or anything like that, it just ends up being a big wind up, although sometimes its quite funny.
Like the Saudis sentencing a 19 year old woman who was gang-raped by 7 men to 300 lashes for getting into a car that didn’t belong to a relative, about 3 days after Gordon Brown said that we shared common values with them .. he can speak for himself.
I only drive about 3 miles a day, so I don’t find too much to get wound up about there.
People who trust the government, they annoy me. For example, anyone who doesn’t think that the biometric chip (when it arrives) won’t be cloned would fall into this category.
People who aren’t true to themselves are annoying. Old people who try to be middle aged, middle aged people who try to be young. Commoners that try and talk posh. People who call themselves libertarians and then act like Nazis when it comes to things they disagree with.
Things don’t really annoy me, people do.
Terry Wogan.
He speaks to everyone as if they’re 5 years old.
and
White British teenagers who think they were born in Jamaica and talk in that silly contrived annoying patois. Innit? What’s all that about.
Give us a break Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
where do I start?
just 2 for today:
Council Tax – what a huge expenditure every month for so many people – there isn’t enough differential between the lowest and the highest in my opinion and most of us are worse off as a result. I really begrudge paying it, at least at the level it is. Expect you do too.Neighbours from Hell
or at best, people who are simply jealous and vindictive towards those they see as leading quieter lives than themselves.I feel better for that
All I can think of at the moment is something that happened today that annoyed me. I would put these things in room 101 very quickly. It’s those great big toilet roll holders you get in public/work/not my home toilets. You need some toilet roll, so you gently find the end and begin to pull gently down to get enough to ‘help you out.’……and then it breaks/rips…..and then you spend 10 mins trying to find the end again so you can get out and carry on with your day. Is it just me?
Give us a break
