  1. Vapor’s in cars that think I want to smell like a giant strawberry as they exhale there crap out the side window.
    Same note; car drivers who don’t realise washer nozzles are directional and not for blinding bikers behind them with a flip up helmet…………and breathe.

  6. Kids running around in pubs
    Kids running around in restaurants
    Kids running around in hotel bars.
    People who don’t thank you for holding a door open for them.
    People who wait until they get to a fast food counter and then look at the menu to decide, they are normally in front of me, you’ve just had 5 minutes queuing!
    Edit, old retired people food shopping at the weekend, you’ve just had all week to do this, this does my wife’s head in too.
    Aaaaaaand, relax, aaaaahh.

  7. Those kind and considerate folk who grab a table and place a coat on the opposite seat while their outer half is in the queue for food. Leaving you walking around with a tray of dinner going cold and no where to sit.
    Wonderful
     
  8. People who have paid for their petrol, get back in the car and check their hair,phone, etc . JUST PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON AND DRIVE OFF !!!!

  9. People who stand in the narrowest part of a walkway - when a pavement narrows to some obstruction - and someone will stand at the narrowest point to look at their phone. You couldn't have picked a worse place to stand if you tried :D

    Or walking past some machine that is doing its noisy machine thing - and someone just stops next to it - I am thinking can we just keep moving please, so we don't have to stand next to this noisy machine :D

  10. you come to the end of the road, a T junction, one car in front of you is turning right, there is enough room for two cars side-by-side and I am turning left. However, they haven't pulled over enough leaving you to wait for them to make their right hand turn, which takes much longer.

  11. Supermarkets again...
    Fat people (it's always fat people) who are perfectly capable of walking at normal speed but having passed through the checkout choose to shuffle along the exit aisle to the front door at a snail's pace leaning their bulk on their trolley, completely blocking the way for everyone else.

    Similarly people (of any size) who suddenly stop in the doorway of a busy public place to think about something or look at their phone.

  12. And what about the lids on those bottles of sanatogen? There I am trying to get the lid off and then my nine year old niece comes over and is like “there you are uncle” and the lid is off in a jiffy. What’s that all about? Someone is going to get hurt.

  13. I feel the clue to this mystery is in the word "Sanatogen".

  15. Canvassers that think it's ok to question your Will arrangements as you exit a supermarket.
    Package rage is another...:mad:

  16. People who reply to emails by starting a new email chain every time they write to you. People who don’t put a subject title on emails. People (clients) who don’t put their name in the file name of documents they send you meaning it becomes impossible to find it again because while they may only have one case on the go (their own), I have dozens. People who are too timid to overtake you despite the fact that you’re only driving at 20mph due to having a puncture or snapped fan belt and you have your hazards on. People who send WhatsApp messages when you’re running late asking where you are when they know that you’re driving rather than phoning you. People who phone out of the blue rather than WhatsApping. People who don’t close the gate to the village cricket field. People who run like Zack Polanski. People who are Zack Polanski (most punchable face in politics and there’s a lot of competition for that slot). People who speak in vocal fry. People who fanny around. People who write “could of” rather than “could have”. People who don’t know who to use “your” and “you’re”. People who talk too loudly. People who talk too softly.

    People, basically : unamused:

  18. People who don't indicate when they should.
    People who stop in the middle of a shop aisle to chatter. Its not a social club. Shop and f*ck off
    People who come down a slip road and immediately want to get into the outside lane. Which is doing the same speed as the inside lane. Pricks

  19. People who drive down a slip road at half the speed of the traffic on the road they are joining. Such people sometimes even stop as if they’re at a fucking junction rather than slotting into the flow of traffic.

  20. Motorway driving in general. It's abysmal. Set the cruise control, slip on the blinkers and sit there with your nose against the windscreen. There's no observation, 360 degree or spacial awareness or forward planning any more for most drivers. As long as they're not getting a speeding ticket or stuck behind a lorry that'll do and they sit there and become a passenger while the car's stupid gizmos do the driving. Engage, anticipate, react and stay fully switched on at all times you feckers.
