Unreasonable annoyances [Merged]

Not strictly driving related, but what seemingly insignificant things drive you absolutley mad?

For me it’s Holly Johnsons’ voice (Frankies goes…), I’ve no idea why, I have no problem with the accent it’s just hearing his voice really twists my melons :imp:

Likewise (not so prevalent now but every time I see Brian Harvey (East 17 singer) on tv or in a magazine I just want to do violence to him.

As I said totally unreasonable responses from me, so what does everyone else think?

Wny radio program that allows the public to phone in!
Have tried to listen but not long before some one haa me so made that the radio is at risk of being destroyed.

Aaarggggh

Trousers hanging so low, the wearers underpants and sometimes more are on show.

What channel is that on :open_mouth:

They wave like windmills on all channels, I complained to the Bbc about it, their reply was, it is to do with timing and getting their point across to their audience.

Those films on C5 in the afternoons, normally “a divorced recovering alcoholic tries to rebuild her relationship with her troubled daughter…” ■■■■■■■■ storyline.
Buskers sorry, “street entertainers.” Particularly saxophonists or mime artistes (those jobless college dropouts who think pretending to be in a glass case is entertaining).
The Lions’ club “Father Christmas Tour.” Bloody annoying, having to stop eating my dinner, and having to dash around the house, turning the lights off before they come knocking. At least they give warning with their loud christmas music though.
Text Santa.
Children In Need.
Comic Relief. Give me relief from these ■■■■■■■ celebrity ego massage-fests.
Celebrity News Updates on BBC3, normally with some anorexic drag act ending the “news” with “see-ya!”

“Wine experts.” Pompous gits who waffle on about “the 2007 red is very palletable with ethically sourced fish and lentils, while its’ 2008 equivalent suffered from frost damage but is rather pleasing when socialising at the rowing club.”
I only the other hand would say “■■■■■■■ cats’ ■■■■, pass me the Hobgoblin…look at the ■■■■ on that!” :laughing:
