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.

I hate it when you just finish something and then the people younger than you are getting it better.
For example, in my primary school when i was in year 3 we had no computers and none of that stuff and then just as i left year 6 they got a brand new computer suite with the money that all the year 6 parents on the PTA had earnt! Grrrrr!
Also, the buses being free now for they young people when all those years i had to pay! Grrrrrr!
And also, the rich indian that i know getting EMA for going to school when he has a fortune in his bank and i have zilch when i should have more right to get EMA than him because his mum has her own salon and he nowhere near needs the money that they give him every week for just turning up to class. I do more classes than him, and to be honest i do more work than him, but he gets paid £30 a week to do what he does and i get nothing!!!! ARRRRRGGHHHH!

I spend a lot of time at my job behind the counter... so I'll do the following annoyances of a counter clerk:
- Miserable b@st@rds who don't say a SINGLE thing while you're being as polite as possible (which can be hard sometimes), who only just audibly say "thanks" at the end. You know the types... faces like smacked backsides and a general look of suicide.
- Eaters... People who eat IN the shop. Please don't leave your pasty crumbs on the floor and talk with your mouthful!
- People on mobile phones. PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN and ask them to call you back! You know the types... their phone stops them from their ability to thankyou before strolling off. Ignorant gits.
- People who tell YOU what to do...
- People who ask if we have a certain CD/DVD whatever without making any attempt to look for it themselves, first.
- Crafty folk who want a refund for something they blatantly damaged, themselves.
- Gaggles of chavs. Gaggles of giggling school girls. Gaggles in general.
- Under-age looking people who kick up a fuss because you need to see some ID to serve them. Please, just get an ID and quit wasting my time.
- People who want to return something they've just bought.
There's probably more...

- When Americans try and claim the English language as American such as asking foreigners " Do yuo speak American?" It's English the the English made it up not the Americans! gets on my nerves that!
- Calling football Soccer.

I do hate the Dublin accent but aren't they all pretty similar? No offense if your Irish nothin wrong with the people it's that accent though. Does my head in.

I do hate the Dublin accent but aren't they all pretty similar? No offense if your Irish nothin wrong with the people it's that accent though. Does my head in.
~ People who say "same difference" or "guesstimate". Makes me want to smack them. Very hard. In the face. With a dictionary.

If there's no one else around then it wont matter as to what lane you're in because they're all empty anyway.

I'm not saying you should dart back in every 30m gap between overtaking lorrys, I'm talking about when people just sit in the middle lane when the first lane is completely empty ahead of them.
This is what happened to me yesterday when driving from Cambs to Brighton.
Some person crusing in the middle lane at about 65mph while I'm in the first lane doing about 75mph. Because of this fool in the middle lane I now either have to pull out accross two lanes into the fast lane, which was quite busy, to overtake, or I can stick in the first, which was empty and risk the driver suddenly deciding he does want to be in the first lane and pulling into me.
