That annoying kid on the kellogs advert who cannot say home, he says Hume
People who sit on the bum end of my car, WHY!!!!!
People who nit pick, you know the ones, oooh she said, he said. arrrggghhhhh!!
Spiders. Enough said
Traffic jams when I am in a hurry.
I am sure there are loads more, just can't think of them, YET

People who pull up at traffic lights, then edge forward, rest on the clutch, creep forward, roll back, brake, get in a mess when the lights go green!

People that think they are all wise, when they say "something's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it."
People who eat loudly and/or with their mouth open.
People who don't punish their children for being naughty/rude.
People who walk straight in your path, (normally happens in supermarkets.)

Agree. But that'll be the women when we're trying to be 'gentlemen'. Usually get a 'it's OK, no need to thank me ... ' ......
People who stop to let you out when it's their right of way!! As you're expecting them to keep to 'their right of way' you then get a hail of flashing lights because you're obviously the 'stupid' one .... 
But most of all, people in shops (supermarkets, whereever) who just stop in the aisle and block it for everyone else. Usually with the biggest trolley ...

Leaf blowers!
And those **** who strap an engine to their back and fly around under a parachute/kite thing. As noisy as a spanish moped, but they take about half an hour to pass overhead!

Ah, and my pet hate, the middle lane hoggers,
I drive to work at 05:00 a lot of days, and the M1 is just dotted with cars sitting in the middle lane. They have widened it now, so four lanes, yep still sitting in the lane next to the outside lane (3rd lane
)
Just in general people with little or no lane discipline make me want to commit murder.

People who spit
People who spit whilst talking.
Not being able to get the child proof top off a bottle of vitamins
Workmen who never turn up when they say they will, like today
People who never acknowledge a good gesture on the road. ie letting them in a traffic jam etc. A wave takes seconds and is appreciated
Give me time, there will be more

One of my clients, his wife is the problem. She is a know all who knows nowt. I find it very difficult to be civil to her sometimes
How he puts up with her, I have no idea. And the way she speaks to him sometimes, beggars belief. Wish he would stand up to her

When people crossing the road in front of my car/van run halfway across the road then WALK the rest in front of me!! Grrr!!
Middle lane hoggers as mentioned above. I make the point of moving from lane 1 over to lane 3 then back again in the hope they click and move over!! 9 times out of 10 it doesn't work!!
People who don't indicate appropriately!! Am I meant to GUESS which way you're going??
Oh, and ******* BENDY BUSSES!! What's the point???

Those charities that seem to constantly advertise their bleeding heart ads (featuring actors) on TV. For just £2 a month you could buy 5 kids in Africa a new pencil, £3 a month could buy enough johnny bags for one water balloon fight etc etc...
I know charities obviously need our dosh, the ads are bad enough, but now the new trend seems to be door to door hard sell (just had them knock on mine)
It was 'C'mon sign up for just £1.50 a week, or more if you can afford it.. lets face it what's £1.50 a week, no one could surely miss that amount???' When I asked about what %age actually made it through to the final destination, ie the kids, I was told, ooh errr about 35%, yeah right I thought. so politely told him to do one!
Rant over

It has to be lying politicians. You know, for example, that if Darling is interviewed he will just lie his way through the interview. And I think he is so arrogant that he really does believe that we will believe what he says 
Can you imagine that he would actually get anywhere near the truth/reality? "Well UK is in the **** big time and that was mostly Gordon's fault and the banks for being such greedy b,astards". Not a snowball's.
Oh and people who come on SN and brag about how much money they have
