Snow p!sses me off. It causes far too much inconvenience. TBH, whole winter season p!sses me off, snow makes it even worse for me.

Vegetarians and tree hugging, attention seeking, special needs herbal tea drinkers also p!ss me off. Mind you, they can't beat those disorderly alcohol drinkers with -ic factor. They really get my goat bleating big style, man

The heater on my R32.

I've fitted a new thermostat, with no help, and yet despite having a huge 3.2 litre petrol engine, it still takes ages to warm up. When my little old Polo or Nissan sunny would have been nice an toasty in less half the time.

Heated seat are good though so at least my **** is warm whilst I wait an eternity for the screen to defrost. Over the hols, I'll be doing the electric heater modification to it (retro-fitting the electric heater elements off a Golf/A3 diesel).

A few more
Liars
People who don't acknowledge when you bother to flash them in, in a traffic jam.
Brings me round to:
Bad manners
Fat men wearing nylon football shirts, and they stink something awful
And the worst.
Family members who put dirty dishes on the kitchen bench, when they only have to walk two more steps to the dishwasher

More to come

I think at the minute, everything is annoying me.

Generally,
People with no manners (a please/thank you is simple enough )
Some(most) people in shops/supermarkets for a number of reasons.
Pretend friends.
Work.
People that are so thick that I am not sure how they actually survive I (and I'm not exactly a rocket scientist).
People openly displaying that they think they are better than others, usually based on money/class.
Naughty, screaming children, but worse still, the parentswho don't seem to GAF.
People that have no respect for other peoples property.
People that **** on toilet seats and leave it there.
Two-faced, lying *******s. **** lickers etc.
Myself

I could go on, but I'll stop there (for now)
Not sure these were small annoyances.

Women at supermarket tills who are incapable of paying until they've packed every last item into bags and placed them in their trolley.
Holding me up for 20 seconds or so

That's a good one

Men have right idea. They don't mess about. Get your beer cans, whiskey and ****, make payment, and get out of this supermarket madness If single, they may pick some pork pies, microvawable meal or two, Lynx, Bad Boy pot noodles, and that's it! They don't hold anyone up in the shopping queue.

The silly ****** on Autotrader who advertise their car as (eg) £999 then when you open their ad and read the text it says "sorry, car price £3999"
If someone wants a flicking car for £3999 they'll be looking for one at that price.
How exactly will doing this convince someone who probably has £1000 to spend to go "ooh! Look at that car, I think I'll buy that one for £3999 instead?"

It just wastes people's time. There goes another 30 seconds

people who wait at the entrance to the petrol station blocking it waiting for one of the eight rows to become empty on their side of the car rather than pick a fkin pump row and wait at the back of that, causing cars to queue down the road.

People who think it's cool to phone while they're eating, and expect you to listen to them chomping down your ******* earhole

People who feel the need to talk incessantly, as if they're scared their jaws will seize if the stop using them

Most Women Drivers, namely all the ones for whom actually driving the tonne and a half of lethal machinery they find themselves behind the wheel of, doesn't even enter the top five on their list of priorities

If you can get to them on an R32 (I assume the engine bay is a touch fuller than a standard Golf) disconnect the two pipes that connect the heater to the cooling system, and give the matrix a good flush through using a hosepipe, in both directions. Reconnect and refill the coolant system with the recommended level antifreeze mix.

Thanks to the way VW designed the heater installation (a flaw dating back to the MK2), crud builds up in the matrix tubes, restricting the already meagre coolant flow.

People who slush and make a noise when eating.

People with no manors (let people out etc when driving, hold door for someone any you don't even get acknowledged).

People who park at the petrol pump, they don't get any petrol but go do their weekly shop!!

So, looking at my answers I guess poeple in general get my goat

I find patronising egotists very annoying. "I am God", "I am the expert" tendencies among some teachers, lecturers, professors etc. are often noticed. They think that they are always right, they talk to you as if you are a gooseberry, and they try to enlighten you with what you already possess a natural doctorate at. Their common sense lacks pathetically, their bookwormish knowledge gets highly tedious, they pick on your little irrelevant mistakes, and they talk down to you, like: "It's not X, love. It is actually Y." I say in my non-verbal way to them: "Get a life, LOVE! You are just a pr!ck, Aye. "
I find these bigheads quite amusing, so I am not sure whether they annoy me TBH

One example of it is when one of the academia deities I know said: "Hundred years ago, I did my thesis not on the philosophy of psychology. I actually did it on the philosophy of the need for learning the philosophy of psychology. It was so irresistible that they had to accept it."

Yeah? Right.

I go haha inside me, hearing that kinda stuff.

Well, that pretty much sums up part of my list, Lisa!

And I'm another one who hates people eating whilst talking to me on the phone. My mum used to do that. It used to make me feel like slamming the phone down. Hard. Repeatedly.

Text speak. Has anyone else mentioned that?

A gap in the curtains when you've got into bed.

People who don't put the shopping trolleys back. Or worse, abandon it at the entrance to the trolley park because they can't be arsed to take another TWO STEPS!! That makes me slam their trolleys into place. HARD!!

here I go:

people at the petrol station who have to sit and wait for the pump to be come available on their side - FFS - you can stretch the pump over to the other side!!!

ar5eholes who have no lane discipline at roundabouts - then they look at you when you horn at them, like you're a tw@t!

people who wait to get to the till before they decide to get their wallet out and rifle thru their cards - ffs!!!!! You're in the queue to pay, did you think you wouldn't need your wallet?!

work colleagues who cc in line managers in emails when there is really no need except to maybe line you up for a fall because it's usually something along the lines of "where's this or where's that?"

people who make a mess

people who spray paint the back of the toilet rim with their **** - what is wrong with your arsehole? is it mounted on your spine???!!!!! Aim downwards!!

Chavs

Work-shy scroungers

I think that's it for the time being

People who spit
People in call centres who I cannot understand a word they are saying.
