Minor things that really piss you off !

Yes!! Or people who get through the ticket gates at the station and then immediately stop to put their ticket back in their bag. They get sent flying if I'm around

Or stand on the wrong side of the escalators causing everyone to pile up behind then.

Or scores of tourists who gather right by the ticket barriers and you can't get past them

[norrahe]

Well, I have to admit, I'm never sure if the 'e' is silent.

it is

[Bunk]

it is

I still read it as Norr-a-he.

If I forget to reset the trip counter after filling up with fuel, that really annoys me. I know how far the car can go, and I can read the gauge, but I like to see miles...

When the mileometer gets to 99,998 and something happens that you miss it rolling over to 100000

[Sysman]

No matter what men say. They can be nagged into changing their ways. Trust me.

Large wooden spoon nomination.

American English in the UK. Even on this board I've noticed the recent use of "ass" instead of "arse" and even "my bad" has appeared .

Oh, will I get a ban for "arse"?

I agree - I hate "my bad" it's just plain lazy.

There seems to be a significant number of morons who don't know the difference between adverse and averse, too. There's a further underclass who use "(sic)" at regular intervals but have not the slightest idea what it means.

The very sight of someone using an iPad in a public place seems to make my piss boil. They have an air about them. I want to pop their bubble and point out that we're not jealous and we think they are idiots for shelling out £600 on a toddlers iPod Touch.

Also 'Tennis Club' types. I occasionally have to take my son to one of the David Lloyd tennis centres and it's just full of smug looking tw@ts.

Add to the list families who crowd around baggage reclaim conveyors at airports and people who recline seats on short haul flights.

But the one that really, really gets to me is those individuals who can't sit through a film at the cinema without having to consume a dustbin sized tub of popcorn. I don't want to hear it getting munched. I don't want to smell it either. Why do you need to f**king eat all the way through a film you disgusting, greedy c**t!

I've got myelf worked up now

They don't waste my time because I never answer. On the rare occasion when they actually have something, they do let me know, most of their contact is just noise.
