Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Cracked me up that did! Spoken with true irritation!!!
Of all the annoying things in the world you could have picked... that certainly wins the award for most random.
I know where you're coming from though

A million and one driving irritations....people not waving; people who stop on roundabouts blocking anyone else from using it; people who stop at totally unsuitable times to let someone out of a junction causing you to do an emergency stop, when if they'd looked in the mirror or just been generally aware they'd realise if they'd just carried on the person would have pulled out the junction 10 seconds later anyway with the natural flow of the traffic; people who drive down narrow country lanes but don't have the driving skills to do so and then look at you as though you are some sort of idiot when you expect them to reverse 10 feet to allow you past-even worse are the ones who expect you to reverse 100 yards, around bends, because they are incapable of reversing 10 feet into the massive lay-by behind them...

There should be a law which states that is only acceptable if they have their baps out

People who park on double yellows to go to KFC. I wasn't aware that it was in the Highway Code that it's okay to park on them, so long as you stick your hazards on.

People who park illegally and think it's ok because they have switched on their hazard lights. Usually outside fast food shop or at an ATM

EDIT: Great minds :D

Cyclists who give cyclists a bad name

Complaints about cyclists = complaints about manners (most of the time)

I'll cycle the wrong way up a one-way street (as it is more sensible than attempting to push my bike along the very narrow pavement), but will stop, get off, give way to both traffic & pedestrians as I'm aware I should do so

I'll hop up on the pavement, if it is safe to do so and affects no pedestrians, if it means I can by-pass the idiot drivers at the junction who'd happily knock me off my bike through their selfish ignorance

I don't stick religiously to the law when I'm on my bike, but I'm totally aware that if I do hop up onto the pavement the pedestrians have the right of way.

People (women) who take 45 minutes to repack their handbags after paying at the tills.

People (women) who take 45 minutes to drive away after returning to their car on a busy forecourt, having put £10 of unleaded in.

People who quickly pull out in front of you who then drive at 15mph.

Another one [God I love this place] You're at the bar, you order a round of drinks you take them to your table and everyone at the table is sat on their phones! I hate it, you then sit down and everyone is still sat around the table on their phones and you, who can actually last more than 5 minutes without checking facebook/twitter/messaging your other half/friends is just sat there.

I also find cyclists who jump up on the pavement at red lights irritating!

Get all the way to the barriers and the tart in front of you gets right up to them, then realises she hasnt actually got her ticket in her hand and decides that she needs to hunt for it, resting her bag on the barrier.

Great call on the petrol station, once paid, if busy I start the motor, pull away and then sort our receipts, seatbelt etc so people can fill up, how many people sit there for what seems 10 minutes!!!!! Bastards the lot of them!!!!

Also, tyre pressures, if somebody is waiting I move the motor and then put on the dustcaps when finished.

I am just too damn polite and think of others me 8-)

Driving in the dark, if you don't like it don't do it, but stop driving at 15mph and keep braking when nothing is in front of you! Go to specsavers or take some "confidence" pills.
