You are on the phone in your cab, while stationary, then somebody comes over to the cab door.
They can see and hear that you are on the phone, but still insist on banging the door or open it and engage in a conservation.
JCB drivers who load with the backactor, when there’s plenty of room to use the front bucket.
A new or nearly new tractor unit, pulling a rust bucket old trailer, that is falling apart on the road, I saw a truck with Adr orange plates marked, most of the buckles on the curtain sider were flapping in the wind, not done up or missing.
The trailer did not look safe to haul Adr, with big holes in the curtains.
He was driving like he stole it, and may come on here complaining of harassment by getting stopped too many times by Dvsa or the Police.
May as well wave a flag out of the window saying stop me.
Just had a painful reminder of an annoyance; “pallet nip”, where you’re using a mechanical pump truck to load/unload pallets, you’re feeling smug 'cos you’ve got the suspension just right to let gravity do the hard work, you spin a pallet inside the trailer but don’t move your foot quickly enough and the corner of the pallet traps your unprotected side of foot! Always a midges ■■■■ behind your steel toecap.
Going to Tescos between 0400 and 0500 and seeing somebody who clearly runs a sandwich job loading their van with trollies full of bauggettes - since when has Tesco been a wholesaler
The bloke who works on the soft drink aisle on nights in the same Tesco who you can smell his BO from several aisles away - that may not be an unreasonable one though
Not being able to walk down certain aisles early in the morning in Tescos because the staff have blocked it with rubbish…
Cheap and nasty tat that says what the model of the truck is, who really cares you drive a FH 12 or a V8.
Cab curtains pulled over that block side vision.
How do they see motorbikes or cyclists at the view from the right, they have to hunch forward to see, or stop the lorry, which I have seen a driver do ?
It’s their money, but they look ridiculous.
Christian Aid Week. The day the envelope was put through the letter box, I put it back (empty, I didn’t ask for one) under the doormat. Tonight they knock for it, when it’s clearly on view. I annoyed them back though by blatantly being in the kitchen near the front door, despite them knocking.
Kleeneze/ Betterware catelogues. Why dump them through our door when you want to keep them?
Street beggars that say " Spare any change for the night shelter ".
The shelter is free, giving them money will fund their addictions.
I don’t like it when they become aggressive if you don’t give money.
Charity workers that try to stop you in the streets.
Getting a free air horn test from the lorry behind me, because I stopped to let two women pushing prams cross the road.
Pedestrians that cross the road on a red light for them and a green for traffic.
They are stood in the road like a rabbit in headlights with a confused look of not knowing which direction to go.
Robert Peston - say no more! A very reasonable annoyance.
Goldilox:

How the hell did he get a job on the BBC ?
Must be something to do with Special Needs.
People who happily move out to overtake but won’t move out to let you overtake.
Gets me firkin bouncing!
Car drivers that get off by overtaking you then dive bomb in front of the lorry and slow you down in the average speed road works.
Then the others that refuse to move over in the road works and stay in the same lane until the end then they floor it.
Car drivers that love to sit in the middle lane and they won’t use lane three to get past lorries in lane two of the motorway.
Must like the view of back doors.
Those Barclays Digital Eagles adverts. Wittering old people extolling the virtues of a bank clerk showing them how to Google tea dances.
Those phone adverts with the muppet style puppet.
Eynsham Carnival. £5 per adult to walk into a publicly owned field, see a few fairground rides, a couple of naff stalls and some “entertainment” like a sheep shearing display. Spent my £5 admission in a local hosterly instead.
Talking of rip off shows, one I wasted money on, the main event for the ring was a middle aged man doing stunts on a Bmx bike, not really a stunt, cycling off ramps.
Bath and showers being sold to older people, the model in the advert is always blonde with a fit body but she is in her sixties, an ex model in her youth.
Go compare adverts,especially the fella with the crap hair cut and bobbly eyes
Mobile phone adverts .
That Samsung Galaxy ad where the bird can’t possibly record her song unless her phone’s on charge.
The Cortana one with Clean Bandit (please someone murder annoying those annoying students).
The one with the blue Muppet character (it’s really not alright).
People who keep reposting the same comments that they or others have already made virtually verbatim. (Toby I’m looking at you!)

Cars with Autobot stickers on them. It means “I transform into a helmet wearing window licker with crayons as soon as I drive.”
