Today I am ****ed off with ..........

Damn Right!!!!! im taking driving lessons and im going to book my test soon. Ive been taught that you have to use indicators every single time! and its annoying for new drivers like me who are looking for a space to pull out. :madman:

Annoying also for pedestrians.

"Yes ********, the reason you nearly ran me over was because I didn't think you were turning down this street, having not indicated"

Another old favourite and mentioned on these sort of threads every time is people who try to board a tube/train carriage before you get off. Rude *******s.
 
ah mate, had an annoyance this morning

Just got off the central line at Oxford Circus, and was walking to go up the escalators. Im one of these people that walks up them, and so was going past the endless queue of people who stand on them, and suddenly, this short woman cuts out in front of me, and i walk into her.. indeed, she was so short my shoulder smacked her in the head.

She then had the cheek to huff @ me, tell me to watch where i was going! stoopid bitch
 
I'm quite content at the moment, people on here seem to let a lot get to them, one minor hiccup, giving uxbridge shrimper positive rep instead of tarquin.
 
just wait still they start editing rep, that's when all hell breaks loose!

Afternoon old chap,

Who do you mean by 'they' ?

It sounds awfully sinister? Is there someone watching me?
If so, they'll just see a rather magnificently hung gent dancing around naked and gyrating up against the lounge window, for all the world to see.

In fact, I have a small audience watching, mainly sex starved housewives and grannies.
 
Foxton estate agents.

For a start, would you really trust them? I doubt many people trust estate agents full stop, let alone ones that have offices that look like Sir Norman Fosters had a pop at them. I mean, does a customer popping in for a chat REALLY need a sit down on a huge leather sofa with Sky Sports News on a plasma screen opposite and a bottle of mineral water? Added to that, THEY ALL DRIVE ****ING MINIS!!???! I mean how much are these guys ripping us off to afford this?

And this all came about because one didn't stop for on a zebra crossing today, and then snidely sneered at me as he drove past...
 
People who open their mouths when chewing their gum. I listened to this delightful sound for 40 minutes on the train this morning courtesy of what looked like a former Miss Essex bronze medallist from about 1996.

Shut your mouth Na'alie (or whatever your name is). We don't want to hear it and neither do the people you're wittering away inanely on your mobile phone to.
 
people who drive at 40 mph in a 60 zone...and continue to drive at 40 in a 30 zone....thus leaving you to catch them up at tyhe other end of the village....
 
This definitely needs reviving, especially as it's been tagged as one of the key threads.

My latest ongoing issues relate to the "common" piece of ground outside my house which unfortunately has become the unofficial playground of our estate. My house & the 2 either side of it are down a small private driveway and although we can do nothing about the kids in the common area, they always tend to stray onto either the private driveway or even in fact our house driveway. This is as you can understand quite annoying. However, usually if you tell them politely enough they just slope off.

This one little kid though, despite being told at least 20 or so times by me or my Mrs has decided he's up for an ongoing battle and just refuses to do as he is told and now has started answering back (I don't want to sound all Alf Git here) but even 20 years ago you just would not dare to answer an adult back and if you didn't agree you would still more than likely do as they said. After all these kids are 7 or 8, certainly no older than 9 and live in a so-called nice area, it's not as if they're knife-wielding neds from a set of tower blocks. Despite always trying to keep my temper with them (not always easy) and certainly not ever swearing at them, on Sunday I was shouted at with a volley of swearing from a primary school kid. This was like a red rag to a bull and although I didn't really swear back I think he got rather scared of the response and was on the verge of tears. Lo & behold yesterday, I return home to find 2 coppers (again the one nice & the one nasty trick) waiting for me as "they had received a complaint" about the tone of how I'd asked the children to vacate our property. The nasty copper obviously felt like this was a waste of his time and because I was initially reasonable tried to do as much as he could to wind me up (and at points was certainly borderline anti-English & racist).

Not happy! Rant over!

Tough gig, living in Scotland - wouldn't you rather be down south?
