Little things that irritate you

Not only that, everyone booted out of the pubs at 7pm. Thousands milling around the streets with beer inside them. What could possibly go wrong?

Well done Keystone Cops - I'm sure whoever thought this one up was the dick that tried to arrest me up in Manchester last week for supposedly being homeless.

Never been on a radio phone-in

What happens if you don't say:

'Hi guys, great show as always'

Do you get cut off immediately?

No matter what sh*t the hosts are spouting!

Had the absolute mother ****ing hell of a day at work today. Wasn't even driving but finished 2 1/2 hours late at half 6, and I'm back in again tomorrow for a 9 1/2 hour driving duty at 0515, so have to get up at 0345.

Tubes of toiletries (e.g . facewash) that are designed so that the first 75% of the contents come out really easily, but then you have to squeeze the tube in all directions to get any more out. Obviously designed by the marketing people who want people to throw away a quarter of their purchase and buy a new one.

Actually, rather than an irritant, I actually find it a challenge to get the last 25% out of the tube. You won't win, you corporate money-grabbing facewash bastards!

people behind you at the supermarket checkout queue.

The moving escalator is stacked to the hilt with your weekly shop yet the idiot behind you cant wait for 5 seconds before leaning all over you to reach one of the next customer boards knocking all your stuff over.
There is still no room on the escalator yet the minute it moves a centimetre they then start stacking up all their shop on the postage stamp sized bit of the escalator fallomg onto all your stuff.
grrrrrrr!!

not sure, i think a good part of that 90% are just people who do not give a **** about the others.
they could be self-aware, but choose to be self-centred arseholes instead.

Speaking as a self-centred ****hole I find that very offensive.

Those annoying ads on commercial radio

Seems everything is normal for the first 10 seconds then they go on an incoherent ramble for the last five at break neck speed

Normally ends up with 'T&C's apply'

It reminds me of trying to join in Greek dancing...everything is fine then all of a s sudden...it all starts to go pear shaped!

Aaargh!!
