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.
Add your own!

- When I am watching something funny on the tele and my older brother is in the room with me and there is an amusing scene my brother will laugh and then stare at me waiting to see my reaction. I just don't look back. Really annoys me.
- When someone is reading the newspaper or a magazine over my shoulder.
- Wee kids who stare at ya when you are eating in a restaurant (it almost causes me to react like Jim Carrey does in Me, myself and Irene!)
- People trying to talk to me about football and they clearly know little or nothing about the damn sport. A few of my mates fall into this catergory. Also my older brother who I mentioned in an earlier point asked me who Internazionale were when it brought up their full name on a champions league game, he didn't know it was Inter. He says he's a Liverpool fan and when we were at the game the other week at Anfield he asked me "Which stand is the Kop?" Duh!
-Doing speeches or presentations infront of a class or group of people. I shake like a leaf and have no self control when I do it.
- 13 year olds who think they are hard and could take you on despite being about 4 foot shorter than you.
-The accent of the Republic of Ireland citizens.
-Cocky Americans who think they are superior to everyone else in everyway and who think the world owes them something.
- Christians who try to convert you. I wish they'd get it through their thick skulls I don't believe.
-Hangovers
Thats all for now. Im sure I will come up with a ton more.

Your Dad knows best.
My dad always flicks through the channels on an advert break, watching a maximum of 2 seconds of the shows on each channel before returning to the show we're watching just after the programme starts. This irritates me immensely.
Just watch the adverts. You're not getting anything from the others.

Yup, that's another one of mine, too. Get one of them sat behind you on a long bus/coach/train journey and you want to ram the pack so far down their throat they'll be blowing bubbles every time they fart.

- Girls with great figures and know it, but complain that they feel fat - and worse, do it infront of fatter girls!

Your right! I HATE those people, they think they own the place. They come from towns minted and dress up to the eye balls in pomp horse clothes get on their shiny horses and prance down the road, peering down their noses at you or completley ignoring you, or taking up the whole road!
Another thing I get all het about is when your telling somone how to do somthing easily, and they dont take a blind bit of notice of you and spend hours trying to do it!
