Tennis players who need to inspect 3 balls before every serve.

People's Sunday at Wimbledon. Peasant's Sunday in other words.

I love how they check the balls like that - even when they're brand new. What are they looking for?!

Pet peeve threads getting resurrected. Technically this should be a separate thread, Pet Peeves V?

(That question mark was put in their intentionally btw, so was the word their and the acronym btw.... Lol)

Not a fan of Roman numerals in place of real numbers either.

Adverts on TV and radio. I know many people don't like them but there's always that one that really really annoys me. At the moment it's those James Martin ads for Asda, terrible and absolutely cringey. Least you can easily skip them now, phew!

[The Modfather]

Haha, funny guys? Should have kept my pet peeve to myself? 😉

Adverts on the radio are shocking, especially local radio and you can't skip them. The best radio station I have discovered in the car is BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) only available in some areas I think, thankfully Edinburgh one of them. Advert free!!!!

I did some work with BFBS a few years back. Ironically it was in advertising (although it was advertising voter registration to the forces, so wasn't in usual advert format). I think you can pick up their various channels within range of most participating bases (of which Dreghorn and Glencorse are two), but you can also get them UK-wide on DAB.

Have you heard of the BBC - they offer a wide range of channels, all of which are advert free.

If you ignore all the adverts for BBC services, license fee etc...

Radio Five Live because the presenters on Five Live have to mention Five Live as often as possible in case you think you're tuned in to something other than Five Live.

Football pundits that don't know how to use "those"!

I've heard Gerry Taggert and John Hartson on five live today both say "strikers are used to being in them areas" - NO! Strikers are used to being in those areas!

That's par for the course these days. Morons. The worst is "went" as in "he's went for the ball". Murdo Mcleod does it all the time on the BBC. No one has had the guts to tell him he sounds like a numpty.

It's not just on question time I've noticed this. There's people doing it on tv all the time. I watched top gear the other night and the guy whose film had just been shown started to clap when they went back to the studio!!! If you do or say something, it's up to others to decide whether it's good or bad.

These black plastic screw on caps for your car tyre valves.

Every time I take them off to blow my tyres up one goes missing or I find that one has disappeared/fallen off already.

Whenever this happens I use the logic that this must happen to lots of other people so if I look on the ground I am bound to find either my own or someone else's eventually.

I never, ever find any so I've come to the conclusion that they are either magically disappearing the minute they hit the ground or I am the only person in the world that loses these things.

Link cash machines that ask pointless questions before dispensing money.

The opening menu clearly has an option for balance enquiry and cash withdrawal, Cash withdrawal with receipt or cash withdrawal only. Why then when I select Cash withdrawal am I asked if I would like to check my balance and informed it's a 'free service', then when I select no why am I asked would I like a receipt?

If I wanted to check my balance or a ****ing receipt I would have selected those options. I just wanted money and you have just wasted my time with questions I had already answered with my initial choice.

People who try to stand up to get their luggage when a plane lands only to find that there is no room in the aisle so they stand half bent over for ages. Knobs.

I hate that too, but have to admit to having previously being guilty of it.

The thing is that, even if you're first off the plane, you inevitably end up waiting at the luggage carousel anyway!!
