Unreasonable annoyances [Merged]

The use of the word " like", by the youth of today .
It started in the USA, and is now used here, to appear that you are cool using it.
Another annoying thing is when a group of people are meeting Vip,s or the Royal family,
they stand erect, and hold their hands together behind their back or in front ,by their waists.
Another gripe,T.v. weather presenters that tell us what to do ;
" You will need an umbrella today,or wear a scarf, leave early as you will need to remove ice from your car, take care driving in the wind, wear sun cream or get burnt under the clouds.".

Yep - that is like really irritating !!

Radio and T.v. presenters that link a subject to the next subject and then boast " See what I did there."
The other person then replies " Great link there Smashy "
" That’s ok Nicey,ha ha."
Steve Wright singing or humming over every song he plays.
Taking the car out just for the sake of it and something to do.
After the commuters have gone to work, where the hell is everyone going between rush hour, and still make traffic jams all day?
Nimbies that want Lorry bans on their road as they go over speed limits, how do they know how fast they are going with no radar ?

Noel edmunds .

Don’t knock Noel, he personally visited vulnerable residents in his village and asked my Gran if she needed anything, she said yes.
He comes back with an electric blanket.
He has been known to place a mannequin in his black taxi to go through the rush hour more than two occupants lanes .
The mannequin has been spotted in local pubs sat outside in the seating areas.
Dressed up ,well funny.

Snot bubble came out! :smiley:

People who use the phrase “Haters gonna hate”. Its used by people so ■■■■■■■ annoying that when anyone tells them their a prick they are so deluded by their own self importance that they assume everyone is just jealous of their looks/talent/money. They cant see its their obnoxiousness that makes people hate them.

Using a self service checkout and it tells you “please put the item in the bagging area” approx 3 seconds after scanning. Give me a chance FFS!

Using a self service checkout and it keeps saying “unexpected item in bagging area”. And removing the item doesnt fix it so you have to wait on an asda ace whos busy discussing last nights Corrie with a colleague

Using a petrol pump and it keeps clicking off every 5p worth of fuel

Standing in a long queue and everyone is paying by debit card. There should be cash only tills!

Sitting in a queue of traffic. The lights go to green and everyone starts moving forward. The car infront of you waits till the one in front of them moves before selecting gear,releasing handbrake etc and then they shoot through the yellow light and you get stuck.

Sitting in right hand lane of 2 lanes of traffic at lights. Lights go to green,traffic starts moving and car in front of you decides NOW is the ideal time to stick on his indicator and let you know he wants to turn right. And no one will let you into the left hand lane

Phoning a big company like BT who have an automated answering system with press1,press 2 etc and if you go down the wrong path you get cut off without speaking to anyone and need to start the whole rigmarole again.

Same as above but with companies who use VERY slow speaking choices and feel the need to tell you that you can use their website for info and to contact them and spell out the whole web address. This is especially irritating when you are trying to speak to someone at Sky broadband to report their internet service being down. Again :unamused:

TV programmes who have presidents/prime ministers who use phrases like “The public deserves the truth” or “I wont let corruption go unpunished” or “I was elected to serve the public and that is all I care about,not a companies demands”. This is so far fetched from the reality of polititions its barely even covered by poetic license

Chocolate, crisps and biscuit manufacturers that sneakily reduce the weight or size of their product but the customer pays the SAME price or MORE.
On a busy street, pedestrians that suddenly stop walking, they say sorry.
Why not have a one way system,everyone walks the same direction on one side of the stret, Oxford steet in London is like bumper cars on foot.
English people love to say sorry all the time.
If you stamped on their foot on purpose, they would say sorry.
Tourists coming off a ferry in the UK or abroad, and get lost in the port, or on the port exit routes.
A passenger can be seen nervously flipping through a road atlas, to work out where they are.
Tourists in France that don’t know what pump to use for fuel.

Constant regurgitation of news reports about Nepal. As soon as it’s memtioned on news, charity appeals etc I change channel or switch off. Same with the election, thoroughly fed up with it.

Talking of elections, people who decorate their house with political posters.

People who tart up crap cars. I saw an MG TF earlier, had a stupid sticker on the back saying “K Series on board.” WTF for? Why tell everyone your crap car has a Montego engine bodged into it? Not even a proper MG anyway, just a Brum built bucket of bolts driven by beaticians and estate agents.

Ha Ha, that was me last week in Froggy France, went to fill up the Motorhome with Gazole/Diesel/the Black Hose & it was the Liquid Gas Pump. Durrrrrr !

& it seemed like all the other drivers were driving on the wrong side of the road ! (Bloody Foreigners) lol.

& they all spoke Foreign ! Wtf !

Tourists that go to a hot country and say it is too hot when they get there, a spend all day in the shade and come back whiter.
English people that knew it would be hot weather on an English beach but sit there with their trousers rolled up to the knees as make do shorts.
Or wear their shoes on the beach .
Women that sit on the beach in their bra and ■■■■■■■ and didn’t pack the bikini.

That’s a classic thing people say that haven’t driven an MG…
My girlfriend drives an MG TF, it’s been ultra reliable car, easy to work on with no fancy electronics and it goes like ■■■■ off a shovel…
Oh and she definitely isn’t a beautician or an estate agent - used to be a coach driver now works for the railway… :wink:
And I drive an MG ZS with the same K series engine in it, so before slagging the MGs off try driving one… :wink:
Btw the sticker says “K series inside” in the same style as the pentium logo :wink:
Oh and we are both members of the MG Car Club based in Abingdon the home of MG :wink:

Yeah back off the MG TF Muckaway :smiley: . This one is my g/f’s. £600 and more smiles per mile than anything that hasn’t got two wheels that I’ve ever driven. If you want a proper driving experience you can’t beat a RWD mid engined rag top! Would I have one? Would I buggery, but it is fun on the odd occasion that I drive it.

Yes I have driven an MG, a real one built in Abingdon. Great car not one of the marvellous Phoenix Consortium ones. I did look at a new Streetwise once, what a heap of junk that was.

You eat at a restaurant, and served by six or more members of staff,one shows you to the table,different staff bring the drinks,starters,mains and pudding, then shove a bank card machine under your nose
expecting a tip.
A tip for what, if the same staff member waited on the same table, then a tip is due.
On the menu, it states the tax man gets his cut on the tip money, what for, did he wait on tables ?

Tobes that can only be because you aren’t looking hard enough for that inevitable nip slip, or curtains hanging out the side. This because they just aren’t designed for sun bathing.

:laughing:

Hope this helps turn an annoyance into something more fun

Back seat drivers. “Theres a space” “You should be in that lane” “Go,theres a gap”. They do my head in. Its even worse when its by passengers who dont even have a driving license!

Having a conversation with someone and there mobile rings AND THEY ANSWER IT! Sometimes they even have the cheek to hold a finger up to tell you to wait a minute. Ive just walked away from people without a word when they do that

People who refuse to hang up there mobile and trying to multi task. Talking away while packing there shopping or trying to use a cash machine. Had one today who was so engrossed in her conversation that she didnt realise she had stopped pressing buttons. And when the guy behind her asked her to get a move on he got told “alright f*** sake,calm down”.

Women who put a coat and their Ugg boots on and go to the shops/chippy/bank or whereever but leave there PJ bottoms on. It was bad enough when daft 13yr old girls thought it acceptable to venture out in pyjamas but now its right up to 50 yr olds.

The amount of button presses now needed to get money from a cash machine. Do you want an advice slip? Do you want to check your balance? Would you like to link your card to your phone? No I bloody wouldnt. What I WOULD like is money sometime today

And breath… :smiley:

WHAREHOUSE BIFFS WHO TALK TO DRIVERS LIKE THEY ARE CRAP ON THEIR SHOE,my biggest annoyance of all :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:
