When folk disagree with someone/something and claim the other party has an "agenda", e.g. BBC reporting Kris Commons isn't likely to sign when their source is his agent.

That's utter pish, you've clearly got an agenda

Social media updates that have 'READ' 'WATCH' etc at the start, like I wouldn't know what to do with an article or a ****ing video.

I agree. Does my thrupennies in now on Sky Sports News. They start so many stories with "watch this" and "keep an eye out for this" Aye I've managed to grab the concept of how tv works!

[Hiber-nation]

The Paddy Power ads. Got to switch over every time I hear that ridiculous "turn around steward". Worst ad ever.

[snooky]

The ads that appear at the side of the page here. When you close them it asks you "Did it block the text?"
Yes it did and I'm fed up telling you so.

[Scouse Hibee]

Supermarkets with too many short dated items. Tesco are getting worse.

[WeeRussell]

When that *****ing commentator on Sky Sports shouts "AND IT'S LIVE" just before the last ad break prior to kick-off!

[Scouse Hibee]

Drivers not indicating at all or indicating incorrectly as they leave a roundabout

[snooky]

That throbbing, pulsating, ear drum-bursting effect you get when someone opens the back window of a car when you're driving.
I can't ever remember this effect as a child. Has God changed the rules of aerodynamics recently?

Sell/Use by dates are a guide. If its not growing something new on it, use it

I'm actually beginning to wonder if I was taught something different when I learned to drive, folk who go past 3+ exits (often in the wrong lane!) with no indicators on ��

[Galahibby]

When you try to "remove film lid" on something you're going to shove in the oven, and all that comes away in your hand is the thin sliver of cellophane round the edge, and the "film lid" stays put, leaving nothing to grab on to. Some of them come off easy enough so why do others need to be soldered on, (Mrs Unis)?!

Team meetings at my work are a nightmare for this. By the time everyone looks around blankly at each other, then somebody (usually me!) asks WTF they're talking about, then the person talking has to say it out in full anyway... then normally it would be quicker if they'd just said it out in full in the first place

[easty]

People who make using an ATM a much longer and drawn out process than it needs to be.

I dunno what this guy on Forrest Road was just doing, I thought I had plenty time to get cash out before my bus came, 6 mins it said on the bus tracker, but no, by the time he'd finished and as soon as my card went in, the bus comes round the corner. Had to cancel it and leg it to the bus stop.

To be fair, it's hardly his fault. Take it out on the folk who insist on prolonging the stupid rumours.

I reckon one transaction then back to the back of the queue - want a mini statement - fine. Take it then go queue to take money out.

People who insist on standing right behind me when I'm sorting out my finances at an ATM, sighing and moaning, whilst tapping away at their phones..........

Women seem to be particularly bad for this. Getting mini statements for their 3 or 4 cards in her purses, taking about 5 minutes at an ATM. Really pisses me off.

Does my head in, they know there's a queue behind them, but they get statements and cash for 3 or 4 cards, then each card, statement and cash has to be carefully folded, put in exactly the right part of the purse/wallet, then that's got to be put away properly
