We've all got them.

The things which are, in the grand scheme of things, totally irrelevant, inconsequential and otherwise totally unimportant... but still manage to p!ss us off royally all the same.

Some of mine are...

* The way some Irish people say "filum" instead of "film".

* The (seemingly deliberate) mis-pronunciation of footballer's names by some commentators (e.g. David Pleat's "Rays" instead of "Reyes").

* Women who stand blocking narrow shop aisles with double buggies.

* OAPs who wait until they're on the bus before counting out their fare exactly, in 1p, 2p and 5p coins. And never seem to know the fare, despite making the same journey to bingo every day for the last 10 years.

When I bike to school, I have to bike across the entrances/exits to the school and some parents decide to use the entrance/exits as a means of dropping off their children and turning round, meaning they get in the way of everyone biking, including me.

Yeah. Really pishes me off.

Getting my socks wet.
People who walk in 3-4s slowly and so you need to bypass them all. Also, those who stand in doorways when there is a constant flow going past them.

They all came from experiences today

Even before I had read the content of your post I was thinking about David Pleat's consistant mis-pronuciation of nearly every footballing name!

You stole my thunder but Ajax and Cantona are 2 that automatically spring to mind!

Ignoramous!

- People who walk up to pedestrian traffic crossings, press the button, then walk across the road because there are no cars coming. When the unsuspecting driver comes along, the lights turn to red and he/she has to wait for no apparent reason because some idiot couldn't be bothered to wait.

- People who douse their whole meal, every meal, in tomato ketchup.

- OAPs who sit on buses and talk VERY LOUDLY about their latest medical condition to their granny mates.
