You know the ones, they really don't matter that much but they wind you up no end. 1) When I see people buy a cold drink from the chip shop and put it in the carrier bag with the hot food it irritates the fuck out of me. 2) Trolley cases. 3) Food being left in pans rather than transferring it to a plastic container and put in the fridge. 4) Idiots who take about twenty minutes to withdraw a tenner from a cashpoint. 5) People who don't know how to use a self-service checkout yet decide to try and put a week's shopping through it anyway. I could go on but I'm getting angry! List your pet peeves here!

Middle lane drivers, tailgaters, fog light users when it's not foggy.
Old people in supermarkets who ram your arse and legs with trolleys/baskets while you're in the queue.
The fact that half of Morrisons' parking is disabled and almost empty but there's never any parking spaces for the able bodied.
People who've had all week to call you with their query but who ring at half five on a Friday and who want to talk for half an hour whilst expecting you to look at their site's back of house system to find out why last Friday's figures didn't balance.
Premature yuletide celebrators.
Tea that smells amazing in the pack/whilst brewing but which lets you down by tasting like dishwater (yes, you, Whittards White Cherry Blossom Tea and Teapigs Red Winter Tea. Shame on you both)
There'll be more, but for now I can tell you that I'm guilty of number 3.

I'd write a list but it's generally just people.

1) Women who use cashpoints. Why can they not leave without getting a mini statement? 2) Folk who say " if it's a bill you can keep it ". Every bloody day x10 3) Liverpool FC fans. Always the victims. 4) ASDA 5) Folk who call me duck. DUCK?

In no particular order.. I'll try not to lose it...
People who talk at gigs.. You know the band are playing a quieter song and all you can hear is 'blah..blah..blah'.. Two words....
Stickers that don't come off things without leaving half the sticker behind or they leave that even sticker residue
Liam Gallagher.. You can't write songs for shit and you're up yer own arse!
Simon Cowell's awful fucking square haircut.

Kids who wear jeans that show half their arse/ skidders.. Why??? It ain't fashion kids..it looks shit!
Those italic messages you have to copy when ordering stuff like tickets online.. WTF.. It can take 10 goes minimum sometimes.. Shit idea.. End of.
Rip off Britain
When things go wrong/break in groups of 3.. You know.. the dishwashers breaks.. Next thing.. Engine management lights come on in the car.. Next thing ..Aw fuck the cat's sick!!!

There was an article in the local newspaper about a new champagne bar opening in town. For one minute lets forget I'm a leftie and I am well aware how destitute Liverpool people are at the moment and CaMORON is cutting our funding AND telling us how this is a good thing for the city. Yes, lets forget that.
The man in the picture about the new champagne bar was holding aloft an bottle of champagne (no shocker there)and in the other hand (and his Jesus pose) was a fucking WINE GLASS.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That type of shit annoys me.

Stickers that don't come off things without leaving half the sticker behind or they leave that even sticker residue TK Maxx is a twat for this. I don't trust people who are ridiculously nice all the time. Nobody is THAT nice ALL the time. Therefore I tend not to like people who are overly nice as I don;t trust them to be true. If I see flickers of frustration or annoyance, that's cool because it is real. Other pet hates Fidgety shit. (I'm a hypocrite as I have a bad back and need to move often to stop the pain) Nail biting. (I'm a hypocrite as I am a reformed nail biter and could easily go back to it) People who won't split the bill if they have eaten and drunk as much as everyone else. People who don't wash who frequent pubic transport (poostain pants man).

People who;
want more than the new price for second hand stuff on the NZ equivalent of Ebay.
stand right beside you when you're putting your pin number in when paying for stuff.
phone/e-mail 5 minutes before the end of the working day looking for stuff that will take a week to do in said 5 minutes.
don't know how to use car indicators.
who park across my driveway in the mornings/afternoons becasue they're too fucking lazy to walk 50 metres to deliver their precious offspring to school.
e-mail me in txtspk (Yes, students, that's you).
Also
Tradesmen who don't turn up on the arranged day, never mind the right hour.
Couriers who seem to think it's acceptable to lob your parcels up a flight of stairs, leave them in full view of the neighbourhood and sign for them themselves.
M&S, who think it's acceptable to put three tiny things in a massive box, with one sheet of bubble wrap to send half way around the world then wonder when it arrives damaged.
(This could go on forever so I'm stopping now).

Nutrition information on packets based on infeasible serving sizes. Who is going to eat one fecking square of the chocolate bar? Who?
Restaurants who put things like mayonnaise/yoghurt on vegetables without mentioning it then getting all sniffy when you ask for mayo-free replacements.
Mustard - there's just no need (also relates to above point).

When your smartphone learns typos. Not just your smartphone; my work laptop learned my most commonly mistyped word (discount) resulting in me sending out more than one or two cash audit reports with 'discocunt' where it shouldn't be.

3) Liverpool FC fans. Always the victims. Going to blame Liverpool fans for Hillsborough, are you? That's what you're implying. Absolutely fucking tasteless.
