Default Unimportant things that annoy you.

For me at this moment in time it's the new layout of the bbc news site.

Secondary smoke. The idea that somewhere down the line, I might start the shitty habit again.

When you only have one item, and ask the man or woman with half the supermarket in her trolly in front of you if she minds you going before her, and she says 'yes'.

When people give you a phone number which is missing 1 digit or I write down a number and it's totally wrong!

This is why I'm glad my local supermarket has "basket only" checkouts. Waiting behind people doing weekly shopping for a family of four can get quite infuriating.

The noise of children talking in the street or on the bus. They spout mind numbing crap.

Stupid phone calls from companies that are recorded messages supposedly giving you advice on debt management. It's bad enough phoning people up and being greeted by the voice of a machine, let along having the machine phone you up

Feeling either too hot or too cold. I never seem to be just a comfortable temperature.

^ People giving me a bag when I don't even ask for one and not even asking if I want one (this happens in Poundland).

On the subject of carrier bags - when the checkout clerk packs my bag for me without asking if I wanted it packed and putting too much weight in it.

I'm the same, only it's usually me being too hot.

People who open windows on the bus and let an icy wind in.

I don't mind them open when I'm feeling too hot.

Being passed over when you're waiting at a busy bar so the barman can leer at whatever young girls happen to be in the vicinity. See also, people who don't acknowledge you were waiting at the bar before them and dive in before you without even knowing what it is they actually want. These people would be first against the wall if I was in charge.

Having to put up with people at work opening and shutting windows when I usually want the exact opposite but have to just go along with it.

Noisy kids in restaurants.

People not giving precise instructions/directions (this is probably linked to SA too) or being precise generally.

People only giving you part of the answer when you ask what the time is; e.g. "Twenty past" - twenty past WHAT?

People who leave 3 for 2 stickers on books or CDs when they've bought them. I don't know why this annoys me, but it does.

I remember one busy evening at a pub seeing a girl very obviously pointing her cleavage at one of the barmen in the hopes of being served more quickly. What she clearly didn't know was that she'd picked the one who was gay.

Why can I no longer buy books on the Nectar website with my Nectar points?

I used to save them all up then I'd get a free book.

You can get amazon vouchers and buy books from them, but it is annoying when they change nectar.

People on the bus/train that take a copy of The Metro with them when they leave. Its nice to get on the bus and have something on the seat to read etc yet they are all been taken.
Worst one is drivers who don't indicate or drivers who indicate when they are halfway through turning the corner - why bother indicating at all as i know you are turning already.
