Windscreen wiper lever in the company's Ford focus.

In any car I've ever driven a downward flick will mean one sweep of the wiper over and back.
In this car if you don't hold it down it will stop in the middle the windscreen wherever you let go of the lever.
Then you have to hold it down again until it comes back to it's original position and then let go.
It also happens on the other settings. Drives me bonkers.

Here's a frequent one:

- When somebody makes a cup of tea and doesn't refill the kettle

...And then complains that nobody refilled the kettle when they go to make another cup...

The placement of the haribo tangtastic bags in my local mace! They ve been on special for weeks now and are in a bin by the till! I'm fine if there's no queue and I'm in and out! But if there's even one person in front of me I'm compelled to buy the bastards! I don't go in wanting them! I certainly don't need them but two minutes later im in the car having consumed 52 of the addictive feckers and then not fit for my dinner! Haribo tangtastic are the devil! And a year from now ill be quoting this story on operation transformation! !!!

I know it's not you Oops, but one trivial annoyance I have is people that don't care enough to make an effort with their own appearance, yet care enough to complain about those people who do make an effort with their appearance and how "unfair" it is that "they get everything!"

They get things because they make an effort to get them, rather than feel they're entitled to to everything!

Selfish and inconsiderate smokers who don't have the common decency to smoke outside, thus subjecting me to secondhand smoke which in turn forces me to spend the majority of time stuck in my bedroom-the only smoke-free room in the house. It's wholly unfair but I've given up on the nagging as they won't listen.
Worst thing is, I have a severe and persistant cough that no amount of inhalers, steroids and tablets will fix. Due back to see a Pulminary Specialist in Beaumount next month. You'd think this would spook them into at least confining the goddamn smoke to one room of the house but no- I'm forced to breathe in the toxic fumes day in and day out and if I dare complain I get in the neck. **** smokers. **** them in their selfish asses. :mad:

When you've been standing in the queue for ages and they open another till and it's the people who have just joined the back of the queue who make it to the new till first.

My neighbour's very loud and very faked orgasms. Jesus, she sounds like an hysterical pigeon, I've never heard anything like it. FFS, on a Sunday morning I'd like a bit of sleep, I don't want to listen to fecking half an hour of badly faked orgasm. She doesn't seem to understand what a climax is and just does the noises from start to finish.

For Christ sake he must only have to turn over in the bed and look at her in order to send her into hysterics. She makes the most bizarre noises and I end up wanting to stuff something in her mouth for her:mad:

Mechanically Separated Chicken. Cheeses. Mary. Joseph the carpenter. I know it's just chicken processed by various automated machinery, but that term puts various Soylent Green/Blade Runner images in my head and puts me right off. On a more positive note, I think "Jimgoose and his Mechanically Separated Chickens" would be an outstanding name for an Appalachian-Folk-Rock-Death-Metal-Electronica band.

always found it funny how hippies wax lyrical about how indianswould use every part of the animal but get properly disgusted when they find out we do the same thing

salacious crumb · 13-01-2014 11:55AM

Do they? I'm a hippy and most of my mates are hippies and I've never heard such nonsense....

I remember a guy I worked with telling us how his mother would get 2-3 days dinner out of the Xmas turkey, and she would then make soup from the "caracas". One of the smartarses asked was it a Venezuelan turkey:D

People who have to reverse into a parking space and take ages to maneuver into it while you wait to get past them. Just drive into the ****ing space and reverse out!

People reversing out of parking spaces at 1mph because they can't see a damn thing.

Can't remember if I posted it before but on every radio advertisement for certain products - namely any product aimed at middle class consumers like broadsheet newspapers, education services or third level courses - it's like a unspoken law that they have to use this dumb, looped violin riff in the background that is presumably intended to impart the gravitas of a "serious" product.

Reverse parking is the proper way to park. It annoys me that people dont know this.
Secondly, it is better for your pocket to reverse park. Starting your car and using R from cold uses more power than from starting cold in first gear.

Another trivial thing that annoys me, after your girlfriends period is late and she neglects to tell you as soon as the crimson tide rises and leaves it a few hours or days to tell you.

Coats and jackets which , regardless of how careful you are insist on gobbling up that wind proof tab thingy which runs along the entire length of the zip on the inside and then refuse to let it go resulting in hulk like grunts and grimices from the victim which usually result in a broken but triumphant zip!
Parents will appreciate the following example. I volunteered to take my 2 year old daughter out for walk. Following 20 min of debates about whether she would wear shoes, runners or wellies, her blue or red coat, her monkey hat or wooly hat, whether she would sit into the buggy or push it, whether we would take the dogs yadda yadda etc etc we get to the coat donning ceremony and it eats the friggin zip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I eventually had to take it off over her head and resort to the least favourite red coat. Shes still has not recovered..... and the blue coat has a ****ed up zip.

People who drive tight up your bumper. They also tend to be the ones who when they overtake, they miss your car by about 2 inches.
