Unfortunately it's not just Americans.

Bit like us calling The Netherlands - Holland. 😉

This is quite specific .

Guys who wear a clip on bow tie to a black tie event but also take a real one so they can drape it round their neck late in the evening Volkswagen Ad style.

People that use emojis in official emails does my head in. The pay office at my work being one of the main culprits!!

[lyonhibs]

This "Pre boarding" thing Easyjet do whereby everyone is herded from one space that has toilets, seats and other facilities into another one where there are none of these things for 15-30 minutes as the plane isn't even ready yet.

What's the point apart from aggravating folk ??

[Just Jimmy]

Folk that use text speak in work e-mails.

My boss is the worst for it.

C u later...

Yeah that was my thought.....Have to say on the few occasions I've needed to wear a bow tie it's been a clip on but wouldn't dream of taking a real one as well!

I honestly just burst out laughing at that. One of the most ridiculous things I've read.

When you're watching something on tv and your other half decides that's the time she needs to talk to you for some nonsense reason that can clearly wait til half time or better still full time.... of the last game of the season. 😂

Absolutely they do.

Barking dogs. Not dogs that bark occasionally, but ones where the owners chuck them in the garden and let them bark away, or go out and leave them howling in the house for ages. Cruel and annoying.

Another hotel where they can't arrange a coffee to come with my meal.
This really bugs my tits.

Automatic doors that open very slowly .

[Scouse Hibee]

People who leave everything until the last minute and then come out with a piss poor excuse for not completing something on time. I recently gave a group of managers a month to complete a relatively simple but essential task in regard to safety. One day before the deadline one of them calls me to tell me he doesn't really understand,can I clarify and give him more time.

I went to a new gym for the first time last night and the doors there were a joke. You have to enter a code and wait for the first door to open, you then walk in and the door closes behind you, when it's fully closed the door in front slowly opens to let you in. It's like being in an air lock on the space shuttle.

[Craig_HFC]

People on crowded buses who have conversations with each other over the aisle or, worse, when they're sat in front & behind each other.

A woman today was really speaking to the guy behind her so loudly that I couldn't hear the podcast I was listening to through my earphones so had to pause it until I got off the bus.

Hope you're enjoying the no paper towels and no skoosh to clean the machines.

Time to change the thread title to 1st World Problems now.

I took a towel in with me as I suspected there wouldn't be any paper towels . They've got signs asking you to wipe the machines down when finished as well.

I was genuinely thinking that while I was typing my last post.

My next door neighbour does that with his dog, leaving
it out the back to bark relentlessly.

I've solved this by picking up his dog and putting it in my garden. Let's see how he likes it.

Thing is, when I asked why there was no towels or skoosh I was told "that's why the membership is so cheap". Really? You are telling me that folk would moan about an extra quid a month so they could get stuff to clean down the machines? Aye right.

Brilliant!!

People who borrow things from you every couple of days at work so they obviously need it but won't buy their own.

FFS if you need a lightning cable to charge your phone surely you would buy one? Nothing more annoying than returning to your desk to find it gone again. Blew my top, took it back,had a few choice words and now locked it in my drawer. Rant over :-)

100%
It always amazes me how people know exactly where to go to borrow things but forget where to go to give it back when they're done using it.
One of my biggest pet peeves of all time.
