Unreasonable annoyances [Merged]

The latest Coldplay song is mightily annoying. It seems to be used in a lot of local radio jingles, thankfully I only have the radio on for travel updates these days.
Which reminds me, when the radio tunes to a travel report but it cuts too early so you hear about some boring local community project, or too late and you miss most of it.

People who wear their work id card hanging round their neck when not in work to make themselves look important

Call centre workers with preened hair and starched suits who swagger around like they are big city traders and try to make out they have a £400 haircut and a £2000 suit.

Airline pilots and cabin crew who love to show off their uniform when off duty, by wearing it on public transport or in their cars.

Spot on Tobes. I see it all the time as our yard is at the end of Kidlington airfield. Sorry, you’re now meant to call it “London Oxford Airport.” It’s not even a “real” airport but the crews ponce about nearby (waiting for a bus to Oxford :laughing: ) like they’re proper BA pilots and crew.

Too many commercial breaks on tv, they have this irritating habit of putting an advert on and the programme has only been on for five minutes.
And even more annoying, the presenter will say it is time for a break, poor Luvies knackered .
Drivers moaning about fridge trailer noise and attempts to turn somebody else’s fridge off.
Would you turn your house fridge off risking food poisoning ?

Customers who think they’re your only customer, and that when not working for them you’re sat in the yard waiting for their call.
Then expect you to mess other customers about to cover for their bad planning.

Patients at the Doctors who point to where their pain or ailment is located, but they have told the Doctor where it is, so he or she will say i have a pain in my knee and point to the knee , as if the Doctor does not know where to find a knee .
People that meet in town will do the same thing, they will say i have a terrible cold and tap their head or nose, for a stomach bug, pat their stomach to show where a stomach is located .
Pain in the hand, you get shown the hand .

Buggers using the airmachine at the garage tossing it off when theyve completed their inflations stopping me getting a free blowup if im quick enough.
Slow buggers using the same device who dont take all the plastic dust caps off prior to inserting the money then faff about on each tyre, dont extract enough hose and in worst cases look at the tyre for pressure amount clues or even sit there hunting for the manual.

Using the airmachine at the garage and being to quick only to spot the cheeky bugger behind is getting a free ■■■■■■■■ out of my 50p. Do they thank me, do they ■■■.

Approaching the supermarket and considering whether a trolley or basket is required. Then opting for a basket as the trolley area is blocked by someone trying to retrieve a wedged pound shaped coin from the trolley release catch.

Lugging a heavy basket round the supermarket wishing id gone for the trolley option then spotting someone with an identical basket but dragging it behind them as they have noticed the long retractable handle and base wheels ideal for this purpose. Not to be outdone I then choose to locate and extend the handle and copy them for the last 10 feet of the checkout queue.

Planning a treat for the wife by purchasing a Fajita ‘kit’ from the supermarket then getting home and reading I will also need to purchase, 750g of chicken, 3 peppers and a soddin onion. Its not a bloody kit then is it. More an incomplete kit then or just stuff to assist at best. I mean if I buy anything in a kit my first presumption is that im not going have to return to the same shop to buy other twuntin stuff.

Childrens programmes from my youth like Dangermouse, The Moomins etc being redone in better definition. Lets see em redo ‘Muffin the Mule’ as this is now classed as a ■■■■■■ offence.

:laughing: :laughing: I got caught like that in my yoof. Got home and thought where tf is the rest of it :unamused:
I loved danger mouse and penfold, not sure if I’d have the reach for muffin the mule though. :blush: :slight_smile:

Pot Noodles doing a King version but they still provide the same size sauce sachet as the normal pots.
Means my Bombay Bad Boy ends up watered down.

People who take posts on “Bullys Bar” too seriously.

Those sales teams at Msa,s, the ones that are flogging make up that was £140 but is now £30, they ask men if they want to buy it.
It’s normally two ladies and a camp bloke in the force sales, pressure to get their commission .
If you ignore them, they make smug comments behind your back .

One from Mrs Muckaway. Guide/hearing dog fundraisers who target mothers with children by appealing to their kids with “would you like to stroke our puppy?”
When I was a kid, asking kids if you wanted to see or stroke a puppy would get you a ride in an ambulance.

Goods in staff and fork lift drivers that can see you are on the phone, but still open the cab door barking instructions at you.
Drivers that walk around talking on those moronic ear piece phones, they look like mad men talking to themselves while closing or opening the trailer curtains.
Passengers on a train or bus that SHOUT I AM ON THE TRAIN, you then hear about their private life and what Aunt Meg is getting for her 101 st birthday .
Stepping in dog faeces, if you cant afford a poop bag, sell your dog .
Celebrities photos of them sunbathing in an exotic country while we freeze in the UK.
Ant and Dec not getting a knighthood or a Sir for services to the entertainment industry.
Why do they look so young and don’t age.

Ant and Dec = ■■■■■

pete smith:
Ant and Dec = [zb]

Yes 100 times yes. And I don’t even live in the Country !!! I bloody hate people with affected accents, especially when they’re f*****g morons to boot. Gawd I feel better now.

People who say “pacific” instead of “specific.”

People who weave in and around slow heavy traffic on a motorway like its a slalom course.

“Unexpected item in the bagging area…” :imp:
It might be unexpected to you you ■■■■ piece of nuts and bolts junk but it ain’t to me :laughing:

Taking your car for a service and never having 100% trust in what the bloke behind the counter is saying. It’s so difficult to find a decent garage as there are so many dodgy ones out there.
“Right Sir it’s bad news I’m affraid. The flux capacitor boost thingamajig needs renewing…”
Me: “Riiiiiiiiiiight and how much is that?”
Him: “£627, er, plus vat. Plus labour, obviously. Sooooo, shall we book her in…?”
Another garage: “All sorted mate, call it £35 all in. Forget the labour, it only took a sec…”
Me: “Brilliant, cheers!”

Dealing with officials at passport controls when you go abroad on holiday. You sweat your balls off queuing up willing the line to move quicker and then it’s your turn, the bloke eyes you up and down with a sneer as he hates the Brits, stamps a load of twaddle in your passport and then you’re through (hopefully :laughing: ) - it’s like lining up to be shot!

This - and also people (normally of a certain background) who want to ‘arks’ you a question instead of ‘ask’ you a question.

VW Transporters/Caravanettes.
VW Beetles, old Hitler revenge ones and new models.
Audi TTs. Hairdressers/estate agents cars.
People who modify basic crap cars like Citroen Saxos and Corsas.
