Bad table manners/incorrect use of cutlery
Uneducated accents (cockney or Ja'fake'an in London / Mrs Brown type in Dublin)
Anyone who does not say please, thank you or excuse me.
Anyone using double negatives

People who like to imagine they live in Downtown Abbey, and not as an employee.

Casual racism and strong religious overtones generally do it for me, these two seem to be paired in a lot of cases although you would think they're mutually exclusive...

What really annoys me is when people dont bother getting to know you as a person and just dismiss you by association or because somebody else said "He/She is a loser". I respect people who have their own backbone and minds. If you need someone else to dictate your opinions of people you are a weak human being in my book.

Get a proper size beanie you twat

I love mine



I can't stand people who randomly come up to you and say "cheer up, it might never happen". Drives me insane. If I'm looking sad, then a) it's already happened or b) that's just my face. Neither of which warrant the comment, which just so happens to make me pissed off, whether I was upset in the first place or not. Worse is when people use it as a chat up line and are genuinely surprised when they get a dirty look instead of it working.

In a similar vein - how it seems to be fashionable again for young lads to wear baseball caps, either back-to-front or (even more annoyingly), tilted to the side.

I have to resist the urge to take it off their head and shove it up their ass.

Amica

people who state absolute preferences for physical characteristics - e.g. "long hair is prettier than short hair" (on girls), "i don't like red hair", "he has to be at least 6 foot", "freckles are ugly" etc etc. In general I hate all or nothing attitudes...and people who don't like Christmas

People who prefer winter to summer. What happened to you as a child?

You don't want to know, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I like winter.

Double negatives are not always unwarranted.

Is that a passive aggressive dig at me perchance?

No, that was just coincidence (but take it as a dig if the cap fits!).

I've been exploring some of the forest trails around us in recent weeks, and it wrecks my head to feel that I have to nearly have to spend as much time looking where I or my children are walking than enjoying the landscape. Several of our local forest walks I just don't bother bringing the children to, as they're in a disgusting state with the amount of dog crap.

I like winter too just not as much as summer.

grugni

People who park directly in front of shops often double yellow parking as "they will only be a minute"

People who have conversations at bottlenecks (e.g. shop entrances, narrow paths, doorways) and block them. Then get annoyed when you have to say "excuse me" to get into/out of said place

*working class accent.

Doesn't necessarily mean they are uneducated. What's your definition of educated anyway? Schooled? Academia?

Brendan O'Carroll is educated in the art of theater
Conor McGregor is educated in martial arts
Robbie Keane educated in football

What's the difference?

What about the kind of agitated grunting people from Donegal think is speech?

It doesn't But for what it's worth, I agree with you! I've also never seen a child in our local forest - not that that would be a reason for not cleaning up :P

But do you pronounce "Barcelona" and "Valencia" like you have a lisp? Sometimes you sound like a gimp giving foreign words the proper pronunciation. Not the ones you mentioned though!

osarusan

When people link to one of those 'which country are you really from? / What kind of cheese are you?' bullcrap surveys on facebook.

No, wait, that's not inexplicable....it's easily explained....IT'S STUPID. YOU'RE STUPID.

Mr_Spaceman

People who whistle.

In particular, the cretin currently pissing around outside my house (a tradesman, naturally). Is it compulsory for workmen to whistle ALL the time? STFU!

Poo head.

Rothko

People who say so I am, so it is etc. at the end of sentences. It makes them sound like simpletons.

This is a really strong Northern Irish speech trait.

Well said Steve, that gets me too, though my French friends find it funny!

Perhaps what they find funny is people getting their panties in a bunch about people mispronouncing something and then doing the exact same thing.

Both of those pronunciations of Peugeot are incorrect.

Umm you do realise my post was tongue in cheek? Hence my comment "Yes I have issues":)
