    I do the first two on there... Unless it's a long journey then I don't wear the coat! Cereal's a great snack anytime!

    i get annoyed by people who just stop in shop doorways (move out the bloody way!) , people who park in blue badge parking bays when they clearly have no need, people who sit in the middle lane on motorways and drivers who don't indicate.

    People who don't say please & thank you or excuse me

    People who can't use their own initiative

    People who walk round in bare legs or strappy tops in winter - cover up its cold!

    How long have we got?! Some of these l have stolen from you

    I don't understand why people drive with coats on. It must be very uncomfortable

    People who drive everywhere. Unless you live in the arse end of nowhere

    Slow walkers. Move out of my way!

    People smoking it front of me. It makes me feel really sick

    People who constantly make excuses and accept no responsibility for things

    Bad manners

    People who lack initiate and expect you to do all of their thinking for them

    Bad spelling. If you are not sure then look it up

    When driving those do follow the speed limit, don't understand how roundabouts work (why don't people give way from the right?) and those god awful baby on board signs

    People who comment on what you're eating. I might think your dinner looks like sick but l am too polite to say!

    These......especiaĺy the last one. I am massively intelerant of food commentators. Food faschists are even worse though. I have a brain in my head, I know the principles of a healthy diet but every now and then i like a treat so bog off and let me eat my evil refined sugar laden cake and chocolate, artery clogging pie, or 'fake meat' junk food burger in peace, and yes, i might even wash it down with a chemical filled diet coke.

    (Just to add, i have no problem with anyone who makes a personal choice to avoid any or all of these things. Just don't preach to me that I have to)

    Oooh, and another one: people who feel the need to share their crappy taste in music with the whole world:

    Teenagers, if you're listening to music on your phone in public, use the headphones.

    Car next to me at the traffic lights, I want to sing along to my CD, not yours

    and Next Door Neighbour: please stop thinking we want to listen to your music- we don't, it's crap. It's crap at 10am, it's crap at 3pm, it's crap at 9pm and it especially crap at 2pm. To e fair, even if it wasnt crap, we wouldn't want to ne sharing it with you at 2am

    And, unrelated: people who let their dogs off leads on public footpaths where there is very clear signage saying dogs must be on a lead...?..and people who don't pick up after their dogs.

    and cat poo in my garden - because I don't have a cat.

    Geez, I thought I was really tolerant till I saw this thread!

    I have to admit to wearing a coat while driving - it's laziness, I drive then walk and can't be bothered to keep taking it off and putting it back on!

    Things that annoy me:

    Bad manners, especially bad table manners - did your mother never tell you to close your mouth while chewing or not to speak with your mouth full???

    Leggings that are too small and therefore see-through. I have no wish to view your underwear or lack of thank you.

    Lateness - I hate being late and hate waiting around for late people.

    Dog poo where I'm walking - pick it up!!!

    Lies - I cannot stand being lied to, it's the one thing guaranteed to put me in a foul mood.

    Drivers who insist on sitting on my bumper.

    Drivers who hog the middle lane.

    Drivers on their mobile phones.

    Bad driving in general really!

    Yep. I also want to add on to my list, leggings which don't fit properly (and that are worn as trousers). I do NOT want to see your special Spider-Man pants , thank you.

    I'm pretty sure that it's this site that we have had many a heated debate about this 'issue' but I feel so strongly about it that I'm bringing it up again, again, again.

    Proper trouser legging as trousers are ok. I just can't stand the ones which have gone seethrough because the wearer is wearing a pair too small for them or they're clearly not the ones specifically made to be worn as trousers and not a substute for tights.

    - anything deemed to be a 'pointless' noise - whistling, nails tapping on a desk, humming

    - people that crack their knuckles

    - people that burp out loud in a public place and think it's ok

    - drivers that stop in the yellow box or that can't keep to their lane on a roundabout

    - amblers

    - people that can't use self service machines in the super market but still try

    - people that don't get their purse ready in shops/public transport - are you expecting it to be free?!

    - drivers that use the pay at pump only at the petrol station then go into the shop whilst still parked at the pump

    There are so many that I'd be here all day if I went through them all, so I'll pick a couple:

    Noisy eaters. I cannot stand this. Please go and eat in the pig pen if you wish to be an animal

    Middle lane hoggers. For goodness sake, there are three lanes for a reason. If you used the first one more often, maybe we'd all get there a bit bloody quicker.

    Managers who do not understand that everyone is different and therefore require different methods to deal with

    Managers who have no/too little technical knowledge of the area they manage

    Roadworks that mean the 7 mile journey to work that takes too bloody long anyway now takes an hour every bloody morning

    Wearing leggings as trousers

    Wearing pyjamas or onesies in a public place

    Screaming children - take them outside til they calm down, don't subject everyone else to it

    Drivers who drive in the cycle lane/pull into the cycle lane at red lights

    pedestrians walking in the cycle lane

    people who can't spell/make continual grammatical errors. unless you're dyslexic, there's just no excuse

    Vaguebooking

    Eating with mouth open

    (my mum does the last 2 of these and gets really peed off when I call her out on it)

    Personal space invaders.

    People who don't remove their backpacks while on the tube and therefore take up double the already limited space.

    People who talk on their phones on public transport- extra rage if it's just pointless chit chat.

    People with no self awareness - such as slow walkers, doorway stoppers etc

    Ditzy girls- I'm sure some guys find you cute but I just find you annoying.

    Try hards/hipsters - i.e people that think that being different for the sake of being different makes them Kool.

    Cats

    People that throw around the words offensive/offended bully/bullied/bullying like it gives them some surpreme right over anyone else's opinion/view/comment.

    If they are keeping up with the national speed limit, is this a problem? There is always the fast lane for those that want to break the law........

    I agree though that slow drivers who do this are annoying....along with those that struggle to overtake you, then pull in front and then slow down to 65mph

    Some of these have made me chortle - as a non-driver, I have no driving related annoyances! But one of mine is people who huff and puff if you stand on an escalator. I understand perfectly well the system for standing on the right so people in a hurry can sprint past on the left, and that seems to operate fine in London. Here you're not specifically instructed to do so and so people approach on both sides and then get annoyed if you don't walk up it. Just because I don't look disabled doesn't mean I'm not - I choose the escalator for a reason. If you're in that much of a hurry, take the stairs and/or set off earlier. It's not my responsibility to ensure your punctuality, especially when the effort will cause me pain for the rest of the day.
