Cars that come onto a dual carriageway from slip roads without as much as a look over their shoulder or checking their wing mirror.
Happened again to me today near the Fort. I don't know how these people pas their test.
International weekends....
Folks who can't see because of the glare from the sun but still reverse into your car. Grrrr.
The inappropriate use of double negatives.
"That ain't getting us nowhere"
So it's getting you somewhere then?
"I didn't do nuffink"
So you did something?
The shot glass size glasses you get at hotel breakfasts. Pain in the arse having to repeatedly go back to get a new drink.
Whys it so hard to register at a doctors?
The last 6 years been registered at Whinpark, moved house up to Fox Covert, and Whinpark sent us a letter saying we're no longer in the catchment area. Go into Ladywell medical centre, who are telling us they won't register us because we haven't moved to the area from far away enough (wtf???) and that we should just stay at Whinpark....who again say we're outside the catchment.
If I die then I'm haunting someone at Whinpark and/or Ladywell.
The heating systems in big office buildings. They can't regulate the temperature very well, it's not that cold outside today but in the office it's like a ******' sauna.
It's either freezing cold or roasting hot in this office, it's a nightmare.
They won't be able to see you until three weeks on Thursday...
Is your area a purpose built new office, or a conversion of an older building?
My experience of new buildings is that the temperature regulation is very good, but it seems to be an unsolvable possible in older buildings.
People would write "Here Here" instead of "Hear Hear" :wink: (Sorry, SuperAllyMcleod :cool2:)
"Hear Hear" was an abreviation of "Hear him, Hear him".

Steak not rested resulting in blood on my plate.
People who use the word "peeve" for anything other than a piss-up :wink:
Jobs worths. My seven year old and his teammates were sent back to the changing rooms by the referee on Sunday, to remove any clothing that was showing above the collar or outside the cuffs on their strips. Apparently it's in FIFA's regulations. It was -5 at the time.
Youth football and their rules are very strange, at least I think they are.
I helped coach an u14's about 10 years ago and 2 things really annoyed me. The kids got a straight red for spitting and swearing. I dont mean at anybody, but in general.
Ine boy, hits a shot and missed, shouted to no one but himself eff off - boom straight red.
Another boy who had a bit of a cold was running back and spat out a build up of phlem at the side of the pitch, not even on it but over the by line - boom another straight red.
I questioned the ref on both and he said its the rules, no swearing or spitting.
Seemd daft to me at the time and still does now, no idea if its still the same though.
