Yes, I know we've had this before but I thought the time was right for another.

People who repeatedly ring your doorbell. Ring it once, wait, ring again if no answer then walk away. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding , ding, ding does not encourage me to answer.

Middle lane hoggers. Or outside lane on a dual carriageway hoggers. Just move over!

Txt spk.
 
Oh gosh - youve done it now!!!!

All the EFFING people who think that standing outside the parade ring saying in loud voices ( on in the case of some complete DICKHEAD at the very top of his voice at Sandown) " THAT HORSE IS LAME - IT SHOULDNT BE RUNNING" and the classic "Did you know your horse is lame?" to attempt to look clever - when all they are doing is making themselves look the ignorant,twats that they undoubtedly are (as my horse has stringhalt).
:rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Sorry people - youre not big, youre not clever, you are - however - intensely irritating and stupid.....

:angy:

oh and people critisising things ( ie books and tv shows) that arent meant to be anything other than light entertainment - GET A LIFE !!!!

oh and the bloke who used to always stand behind me at AFC Bournemouth matches and scream "SHOOT" at the players as soon as they got the ball, wherever they were on the pitch...

and spam

and old unatractive men who think they are George Clooney


I'll stop for breath now..... :laughing:
 
* People whom answer their mobile phone on buses and trains, and then tell the entire carriage their life story. Its my pet hate, either keep your voice down or turn the phone off.

* People whom keep hitting the walk signal button at traffic lights.

Also don't like it when people are doing below the speed limit but believe they have the right to sit in the outside lane. Its just dangerous.

People that can't spell attractive! :nuts:




:D
 
Drivers who start slowing down like 100 hundred yards before they turn left - and then start breaking before they indicate.

This countries obsession with celebrities.

Women in revealing tops who start trying to cover themselves as they approach you. (Like she hasn`t shagged dozens of arseholes who aren`t even in my league)
 
People you know who go racing but never pay any attention. They seem to stand lookout for you just to make your day miserable. They should just go to the bar and stop pretending that they care about what is going on.

They talk all the time. On the gallops, in the stable, at preview dinners, the whole time you are trying to read the Racing Post & the racecard, the horses are in the parade ring, and through every race telling you mundane things rattling on about nothing. They finish the day having had a great old time, I finish with an earache and not a lot else. Oh, neck pain for straining to hear anything else but them. And an empty wallet from the expensive ticket price and no winnings as could not concentrate on the racing.

And then, weeks or even months later wonder why you've got the mortgage on Denman, Kauto Star or xxxx - who is he anyway? And when he wins you get them asking why didn't you tell them about him? Why should you, they will not shut up long enough and have failed to take any notice of him in 8 race meetings, stable visits etc.

Grrrr must avoid them at all costs, disguises ... :rant:

PS Why would women in revealing tops want to cover themselves as they approach a male? Kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? shrug::
 
GENERAL BAD DRIVERS leaves a lot to be desired, I am convinced at least half have never ever taken a test or read an HIGHWAY CODE...Its BAD drivers who cause mayhem on ALL roads....

There's a new in thing to do now!Which is very apparent down this neck of the woods :rolleyes: they double park on any road and chat away through there wound down windows and don't give a toss about other road users, this applies to both sexes............ :rant:
 
The thing that gets me annoyed, no, actually angry and upset, are those morons that think it is great fun to set fire to the beautiful countryside. We have had a spate of fires around here one after the other. The fire brigade were at stretching point recently, a helicopter had to go back and forth several times a few weeks ago to put out an out of control fire on top of the mountain behind us.

Why? what a pointless pastime, are they bored and so brain dead that they don't understand the consequences of being so irresponsible, what pleasure does it give anyone to light a fire destroying areas and putting wildlife at risk?

One more thing :rant: People that drive through our village at speed, when they are supposed to drive at 30mph.
 
I haven't got long enough to live to mention things that irk me, from a low 1 of mild irritation to a full 10 of near-homicidal fury... but a brief list follows:

Rudeness
Loudness
Selfishness
Thoughtlessness
Cruelty
Bawling drunks
Bawling mobi users
Bawling in general
Showing-off (unless in an ironic sense)
Halitosis
B.O.
Dirty hair, teeth, nails
Shrieking tv ads
Shrieking tv presenters
Shrieking race callers (wtf was the bloke at Cheltenham on today?)
Shrieking women
Finding a loo unflushed
Know-alls who won't shut up
Name-droppers
Social climbers
Affectations
Permanent moaners
Permanent 'victims'
Cheats
Liars
Pompous didacts
Fanatics
Snobs
Yobs
Slobs

hmm... well, that covers the immediate annoyances! :laughing:
 
:P :P Top of my list right now?

Co-directors who, after eighteen years of mutual slog together, decide they've had enough and think the rest of us should take on personal debt to buy them out so they can retire and sit on a beach in Grenada. Worse, partly buy them out so they can do the above and still have dividend revenue.

Meanwhile, while negotiation continue, act as if they're there for the duration, interfere in everyone else's jobs and generally make our lives a misery.

Casual friends who only ring you when they want something.

People whom you readily do favours for but, when you ask them for their time, never come through.

(Not that I'm feeling particularly bitter and twisted right now.... :P :P )
 
Nearly top of my list is moderators who move threads from one section to the other and then assume we all think they are power crazy!!! :rant:










:P :D
 
Drivers who flash their lights at you to move when already doing 85, i slow down to annoy them which I know is chilidinsh but I really don't care.
Builders who take 6 weeks more than originally estimated, How long does it take to build a damn coffee shop????
People who I owe money too actually wanting it back!!
Big bags of Toffee Poppets not being available anywhere
Things that shrink but still have the price increased(There is no way Wham bars were this small 15 years ago)
 
A pet hate of mine, and I have a few, is able bodied people parking in disabled people's parking spaces. :rant: :rant: :rant:
 
It was great to see the men also having to queue for the loos at Sandown on Saturday! :D
 
Otherwise intelligent people who send circular e-mails to at least 10 of their friends within 24 hours in the belief that a mysterious video will appear, they will not be charged £10 a month for MSN Messenger, they will receive £10m from Microsoft, and a starving orphan in Malawi will get smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for tea tonight :rant:
 
Oliver Cromwell
Old feckers who think they look like Colin Farrell.
Overbruvs headlight guy.
Euro's celeb obsessees.
My increasing tendency to judge people harshly for doing stuff I do myself.
Long PowerPoint presentations.
Victoria Beckham.
Elton John
Drogba when he dives.
Steves Staunton and McLaren
Serge Blanco.
 
All the lights going out when just one bulb dies

"Your call is important to us.... "

Travelodge's endless automated booking system which gets your name wrong again and again and again...

Garages where all the petrol pumps are out of order

Daylight saving

PC error messages which offer to 'repair' the problem, but never do

Political correctness - an insidious erosion of commonsense

State nannying - as above

The steady erosion of privacy by the State (possibly slightly more than 'annoy')

Bumptiousness

Jobsworths

Topics like this, where I realize just how many things there are to annoy one!
