Not been done in a while - random things that annoy you..

When you ask a question about what is correct a or b and the reply you get ....

yes, that is correct.

me: No which one, a or b...

reply: yes that is correct

ooo the frustration ?

I get the name one too, only have four letters and still wrong. Ordered a new card with my correct name on over the phone, got the new one through a week later and still wrong, given up trying to change it now...

Being asked where I'm from, answering that I am Swedish and from thereon being referred to as Swiss. They are TWO DIFFERENT countries. You'd be amazed how often that happens, even after references like "oh like IKEA" etc...

I have even said Swedish from Sweden and still got Swiss...

People who ask what I like my name to be shortened to, and then ignoring that! I'm a Rebecca / Becca / Becks/ Beck, people always call me Becky. I don't know why it annoys me, it just does!

People that stop dead right in front of you whilst walking then when you walk into them they look at you like its your fault ?

People that drop litter ?

People that shout and swear at their children and smack them in the middle of the street ? ?

Oooh, I hate people that do the dead stop or suddenly slow down with no awareness od people around them!

I hate people shortening my name if they don't know me. I met someone once and introduced myself as "Jackie" and within seconds they were calling me "Jack" which only people who have known me for ages do!

Couples that have huge shouting matches in public.

People with prams who just charge on through with no thought for anyone elses ankles - I sure I never did that when I was pram pushing!

People who spit

People who don't pick up their dog's poo

Bold 2 in 1. Diamond, Ruby and Amethyst do not have any smell whatsoever. Why are they trying to pretend they do?

Hair dye advertised by 'A' list celebrities, they do not stay at home and dye their hair upon an evening.

As above, people who spend your name incorrectly even when it's written down, e.g. my email is **.******@*********.***, I have a couple of people who recieve an email from me and then reply 'Dear Meee'. Idiots.

Both of kizmyasnow's as well

As well as the people stopping dead in the street, people stopping at the top of escalators or pulling out in front of you on a road and then driving at 2mph.

People not moving into the tube carriage so we have to struggle to manouvere around them whilst being pushed from behind.

People who are standing on a train but lean or sit on your shoulders. I generally tell these people to f-off!

Folk that stand at pedestrian crossings and expect the traffic to stop even though they haven't pressed the button.

People who dont indicate. I have to cross a busy road near a roundabout and the amount of people who dont indicate left into my road is incredible. I've actually started shouting "indicate" like a fishwife.

Also, we have a couple of friends who are ALL OVER each other when out in public, or at our house. I know it's sweet, but it's not nice to be looking at over a glass of vino in our kitchen. It makes me want to tell them to get a room.

Oh yes, I'm with you on the indicating thing. How hard is it to flick a stick up or down. grrrr

Or people that keep their indicators on after they've turned. That really gets my goat, I'm always waiting for them to turn again and they don't.

Oooh that gets me too - and people that walk really slowley in front of you when you have noway to walk round them, and teenagers who take up the entire pavement walking in a row ?

I've thought of another few...

People (generally tenagers/chavs) who play music in public off their phones with no headphones OR when they do have headphones but have it turned up so loud they may as well not have them in at all.

Supermarkets - trolleys are the work of the devil, perfectly normal people turn into raving loons the second one of those things gets in their hands.

People that choose to stop and have a conversation in doorways or in the narrowest possible part of a corridor - JUST MOVE!

Golf umbrellas, when carried by a single person, who is not playing golf, in a light drizzle. Takes up the whole bloody path!

People getting my name wrong

After just cleaning the wheels of the stoller following the school run, people who leave dog poo

Not having more "spare money" at the end of the month

My washing machine, which may be broken.

Having periods

The usual commuter things - people pushing onto the train while you're trying to get off, people refusing to move down the carriage when the door area is packed, people with rucksacks on their backs, hitting you in the face with them.

The brokers who ring my phone at work asking for 'Kate' in another department, despite me telling them 100 times to update their records with her correct phone number (I've been in my job for 8 yrs, with the same phone number - Kate has been there 9 yrs with her same number. I can't understand why they're suddenly calling me instead of her)

When the lift stops at the first floor, to let someone in, because they're too lazy to walk to the ground floor. Actuallly, I HATE the lift stopping anywhere between the 6th floor (my floor) and the ground floor. I realise that this is terribly intolerent of me, but I can't stand it. Oh, especially when they press the lift button just as the doors are closing, and therefore hold it up for an extra 10 seconds. 10 seconds is a long time. ?

The w@nker 5 doors down who parks in the space next to mine, even though this space is reserved for next door. He's got a huge van and it makes it so hard to get the kids out of the car. Next door is currently empty, so I can't say anything. He has a garage and another space as well, but apparently these aren't enough.

People that dont indicate, people that leave their indicators on, people that dont acknowledge you if you let them out of a junction, people that tailgate on the M-way.

People that shorten my name when they dont even know me, Im officially Abigale but for the past 25 years have been known as Abbie, I intorduce myself as Abbie, then some tw@t insists on instantly calling me Ab, FFS only a handful of people call me that and theyre the ones closest to me that have known me for eons.

People that insist on spitting on the floor as they walk along the street, boys with their trousers slung so low under their arses they look total prats, people that walk in 3's or 4's along a pavement so that no one can get past them, people that insist on stopping dead in front of you in a shop to look at something with no regard to the fact that there might actually be someone walking behind them, people that walk out of a shop door then stop for a chat in the entrance way.

thats it for now, Im sure there will be more....and breathe!

Oh lots of silly little things get on my nerves.

The name thing really gets on my nerves. I'm a Nichola and in recent years, since being with my husband, I've become a Nich. I can't stand it when people who don't know me shorten my name, unless I've written that shorter form or introduced myself in that way. I am NOT Nikki or Nicky to anyone! I am also not called Nicola or Nicole or Nichole and it really bugs me, especially when someone is replying to an email when they have my email directly below where they are typing or at work when I write to my parents and sign my name (they know me as Nichola) and then write on the line below 'Dear Nicola' ?

People who hog the middle lane of the motorway even when there is NO-ONE in the first lane! Kind of connected are people who don't indicate before they move out in front of me when there isn't really space for them or I'm speeding up to pass them. Oh and people who drive far too close to you, I hate that!

Im guilty of calling you Nic, but Im almost sure that you signed off as Nic eons ago on MSN and I just took it from there.

My BiL is convinced we live in Sweden. He also thinks we are three feet in snow all year round. He annoys me. Continuously.

Noel Edmunds annoys me too. He is such an irritating ***.

People who drive their children to school. All the schools in our area have small catchments, meaning the majority live within walking distance of them. So, why oh why do so many people feel the need to drive? I know there are many reasons, but I'm sure a lot are just lazy.

And then, all of them park on our little cul-de-sac, meaning its a pain to get out as they don't leave enough room, they forget that there are other cars on the road, so let their darlings run out onto the road, and open the doors without a glance to check it is safe to do so. Feckers. And they all have Chelsea Tractors.

And because of my hatred of mum drivers, I now walk my son to nursery school, which is a hassle and I am always going to be late, but I need to stick to my principles, which, in some ways, is v annoying. ?

Irrational ones, which are silly, are Houses with the front door at the side. Just looks silly to me. ? I also hate Belfast Sinks. ??

Gum chewers.

Cyclists who go across red lights, or avoid red lights by going across the pedestrian crossings.

Ah I don't object to that! Nich and Nic are close enough, if you called me Nicky I would have said something!

Phew! Feel free to call me Ab! lol

Deal or no deal - firstly, the contestants act like they're lifelong buddies when they must have just met. Secondly, they act like there's a skill or a system to winning - there's not, it's random chance. Thirdly, the people who turn down £20k because they might win £50k are not brave and it's not a shame if they end up going home with a penny - they're greedy and took a risk which didn't pay off. Fourthly, all that banter that Noel has with the 'banker' is tedious and none of us really believe there's anyone there anyway.

Fiona (I can't remember her last name) from GMTV, in fact GMTV full stop - don't even bother trying to fit in serious news stories between your friendly chit chat with eachother and definitely don't try and conduct interviews in a Paxman-esque fashion - it makes you look stupid - stick to fashion and soaps

People who keep ringing and texting me to ask if I've had my baby yet (specifically family and close friends) - I'm 8 days overdue and don't need to be reminded that you're all waiting for me to do something that I have no control over. We'll ring you when it happens. And the comments 'are you still here?' and 'have you not had that baby yet?' and 'are you sure it's a baby and not just wind?' are neither hilarious, useful or original!

Ah, that feels better!

Yup, these ones annoy me too!

My snottery colleague is REALLY annoying me at the moment.

Another vote for the indicate thing. My 3 year old now shouts 'INDICATRE' like a fishwife ?. In fact, not indicating seems to be a sport in Brighton. faaaah.

Natasha Kaplinski

My daily mail reading and repeating colleague

My mum bleating on about how, gorgeous, talented, brilliant, excellent, fabulous and thin my sister is and never wondering why I avoid her calls

Tights with a denier lower than 40, my fingers just go straight through

People who don’t indicate

Those who drive at 40 in a 30 and then 40 in a 60 (in perfect conditions)

Cyclists who ride on the pavements. And then the opposite of this too - kids who are too young to be on the roads, wobbling around in the middle of the road trying to turn right. They should be on the pavements and the idiots who are adults and have no disregard for pedestrians should be on the road!

Fleas. And the receptionist at my vets who keeps on recommending treatments that are not working. Anyway I'm seeing the vet this afternoon even though she said there was nothing he could do. Ha. We'll see about that!

Not being able to get into my local Cafe Nero because it has been taken over by Local Mothers who block the doorway with their numerous pram-combos and have turned it into a creche - it's impossible to get a table and there are toddlers running around all over the place. I blame Cafe Nero for not being a bit stricter.

Drivers who won't stop for me to cross at our local zebra crossing. Even though I'm stood there, with my dog sat patiently next to me, and we're obviously waiting for the traffic to stop. But no - they just drive straight past us. Zebra crossings are not optional!! Stop damn you!!

That'll do for now ... ?

I too hate Belfast sinks.

And I've gone off H's friend's wife, who dipped her poppadom DIRECTLY into the mango chutney, the last time we went for a curry, instead of using the spoon that's clearly provided, to put a bit on her plate. I went from liking her, to thinking "fcuking peasant" inside 3 seconds.

People who sniff continually.

People who constantly change the conversation round to them.

People generally, to be honest!

Having spent the last 4 months in a wheelchair - I hate people who walk through automatic doors and then stop to talk to friends - in the doorway. Then give me a filthy look when I have to say 'excuse me' to get through.

Again - from being in a wheelchair - supermarkets and shops who put dumpsters/bins in aisles making it a mission to get round.

People who talk on mobiles whilst being served in a shop - ignorant.

The man who works down the road who insists on parking on the edge of our drive. Not quite blocking but making it a mission to get off the drive.

I'm feeling quite chilled today. But I am annoyed at the lazy arses who feel the need to park - sorry, abandon - their vehicle outside our offices and block the drive whilst going about their business, when there are plenty of free parking spaces literally ten yard away. Can they really not walk that far? I feel like waiting until they come back from wherever they've been and then declaring loudly, 'It's a miracle, you CAN walk!'

Generally, every day I am annoyed by people who drive at 40 in a 60, everywhere, whislt obvious to the fact that there is a 30-strong queue of cars piled up behind them. They should have their cars taken away from them and be made to take public transport, and sit next to the perennially stinky drunk which inhabits every bus, train and tram.

You would haaaaaaaate me. One of my pet annoyances is when going for curry/chinese with the in-laws and they all insist on putting the dipping sauce on their plates with the silly spoons. You can't get a decent amount on the cracker that way! To avoid any germs/double dipping, you break a bite-sized chunk off.

I'm dreadful to take out for dinner though. I want to taste what everyone has ?

People who think it's OK to feel my belly without permission just because I'm pregnant.

In a similar vein, people who see me waddling very slowly down the street with my massive bump and then seem to deliberately change direction so they bang right into it.

Our local Asda for not having 1 single pair of shoes that would fit me, when I had a shoe crisis and none of mine fitted me any more, nor one single t-shirt in age 2 - 3 size when I wanted to buy one for my son.

People on trains who have their bags on seats and don't move them when they see people piling onto the train, and look at you as though you've farted loudly when you ask them to so you can sit there.

And on quieter trains, people who put their feet on seats.

My colleagues at work, who never ever go to get the tea, despite the fact that they say they will go in 10 mins or whatever as I shouldn't really be traipsing up and down stairs in my "condition" not to mention recovering from a bad chest infection, and when i finally have enough of waiting about 6 of them also decide they want tea and I have to make 2 trips downstairs and back to carry back all the teas. Even my loud wheezing and using my inhaler as theatrically as possible when I get back doesn't shame them into doing it next time either.
