Speeding offences - speed limits are so last century
SORN - it's my car and if I am not going to tax it why do I need to tell you
Petrol prices never reducing with oil prices in quite the same way they rise with them

The current Labour Party - a shadow of its former self
The probate office in Manchester
Share companies that make it almost impossible for you to sell your dead parents' shares
Internet forum moderators - some anyway ;)
Lessons will be learned

Dogs that lick you
Unruly children
The nanny state
The need for society to be parents because the real ones can't be bothered
Lazy people
The Subaru hatch - the car that killed a brand in the UK

Britain's got Talent
Soap operas
Family pubs - if I want a drink I want one without screaming kids running around me!
Wine snobs that learn all they know from a magazine and regurgitate it word for word all the time
The way pubs have started describing food so pretentiously - 'marinated gammon and leak sausages served with creamy medallions of potato and caramelised onion jus' - er... bangers and mash with gravy!!!! FFS!!
Skateboarders and cyclists in Fail Videos - what do these people think is going to happen?
People that don't understand what socialism is and think Blair's government were socialists

Spending ages trying to force my foot into a trainer and then admitting defeat and undoing the laces - like i knew I should have done all along.

I'd guess it only took you a few minutes to compile that list. :lol1: But you missed one, trying to unwrap cellophane on DVD/CD cases.

Agree with most of what you put however:

My Samsung HD TV is AMAZING and my old Clio 182 was fantastic, never had a problem with putting the power down :)

rossyboy 22 January 2013 09:00 PM

"brought" when they mean "bought" FFS :mad:

Retards.

Trying to explain there is a difference between a winter tire and a snow tire.

People who spell 'Tyre' wrong.....twice :D

That the problem of infinite regress can only be solved by the notion of an unmoved mover. :mad:

RA Dunk 22 January 2013 09:16 PM

I'm all Americanised. :)

Anybody else noticed with these forums spellcheckers being in American that we're changing our spelling to suit?

Indeed, it frustrates me that I work for a European company where the official standard is "American English" :wall:

AndyC_772 22 January 2013 10:05 PM

People who can't tell the difference between "we don't understand" and "I don't understand", when applied to some controversial topic that requires a level of knowledge and expertise. Topics like GM crops, fracking, global warming, that sort of thing.

People who mistake their own beliefs for objectively measurable hard facts, or who don't recognise the difference.

People who express opinions on subjects that they know nothing about, and who believe that their contribution to the debate nevertheless has value.

Scooby Jo 22 January 2013 10:30 PM

Idiots who can't drive their cars
And paying road tax to drive on bad, congested, pot holed roads
Idiots generally

This is self contradictory!

Feeling tired after sex...

Ellie* 23 January 2013 12:39 AM

Stupidity, I just can't tolerate it.

That includes the lack of common sense and covers most of what frustrates me, and seeing as I'm always irritated to hell, it's a lot.

Also, myself. I really get right on my own nerves and do my own head in.

oh yeah, that should be on my list, worse still,

needing a p*ss and being stuck in traffic - caused by an accident - and as the result of driver stupidity.

edit to add, media organisations that sensationalise things just to generate money. Then the people who believe this information to be true - and the celebrity culture, and the ever growing compensation culture.

Ive just spent the last half an hour trying to resolve something and i'm probably further away from trying to sort it out than i was when i picked up the phone.

that woman that says "press 1 for... press 2 for... ... ... ..." then she tried to be a real person by asking you to say ... for your choices rather than press a number, then she says "sorry I didn't get that, please say again or press 1 / 2," then she says "I still didn't get that, I'll transfer you to an operator. Great, that is what I wanted to do in the first place.

She also works for Orange and asks you to type in your phone number / debit card number / amount etc and then she reads it back to you and asks you to confirm that it is the correct read back by pressing 1. The system itself works well, it's just that She tries to be a real person by saying things like "I... " or "let me..."

I hate getting into a good film and then an advert pops up!

Fabioso 23 January 2013 10:16 PM

Too many things to list.........:p

I tried reading some self-help books to help deal with it but they pissed me off too :lol1: :)

STEVEBOXER 23 January 2013 10:33 PM

People on bikes dressed in black or dark colours with no fooking lights or reflectors. Really annoys me.
