What annoys people????

[Gemma]

the over-use of American office terms such as "heads up, touch base, wrap-around, broad brushstrokes" and the even worse use of things like "lining up the ducks/skittles, picking low hanging fruit, shooting pheasants in the long grass" etc which I have to listen to on a daily basis.

Glad you raised that Shan
5. The USA - A nation of neurotic, introspective, xenophobic, ill mannered, uneducated, warmongering loudmouths.

You're starting to sound like Jeremy Clarkson.

(7) The fact that two £17.50 tickets for Seasick Steve at the Barrowlands in Glasgow ended up costing me £42.50

Do you happen to sit in posh winebars or other wifi hotspots with your macbook out??


I think neil f knows my feelings on public macbook use!!

Of course not... I've got a big MacBook which is still a bit too heavy to lug around comfortably... if I had a MacBook Air, however...

Not at all, Jeremy's a fantastic person, although rather opinionated. And loud. Very loud. Just thought I'd point it out though.

John Motsom's voice.
Radio presenters who say 'January three' instead of the third of January.
TLAs (three letter acronyms). The civil service is rife with them.
Text speak on this message board, although it has been better of late.
Crappy ringtones.
Women who stop for a chat in the supermarket. They generally block the isle.
Telesales.
Traffic calming = driver annoying.
I'm sure there's plenty more. The wife thinks I'm turning into Victor Meldrew.

People who don't know the meaning of "isle"

xi) catherine tate, little britain, mighty boosh (oh yes i know you're very trendy, but nope you're still going alongside the first two). desperately unfunny.
xii) people in boarding group B who, despite the clear instructions, try to board easyjet flights when just A has been called, and then stand blocking access for everyone else - CHILL OUT THE PLANE WON'T LEAVE WITHOUT YOU, AND YOU WILL GET A SEAT!! NOW GO AND FECKING SIT DOWN!!
xiii) Peter Stringer

I hate gloating football fans.

At least when Liverpool won in the memorable night in Istanbul we were gracious enough to conceed that it was the best final ever played and that the right team won.

A new one to add to my list

Didier Drogba. What a moron.
I spent the whole night last night saying "you wouldn't see that in rugby- if half the team gangs up on the ref for a decision that didn't go their way there'd be plenty of red cards". All that diving/ scuffling really reminded me why I've gone off football.
