    People who cannot park their cars properly, anyone that cannot park between the lines should be downgraded to pushing a wheelbarrow to bring their shopping home.

    People who sell their souls to fakery wearing hair extensions, fake tan, fake nails, fake lashes, etc as part of their everyday look. What the hell is all that about?!

    Agreed, but you know sometimes when you have to park in the only spot available, which is beside the idiot who straddles the line, so you, in turn have no option but to also park a bit over the line? Then when you return to your car, the cars on either side of you are gone, and people look at you like Stevie Wonder parked your car.:D

    Saw someone recently with a small car parked so that it was taking up two spaces. It (trivially) annoyed me because it was right up beside the shopping centre, where some people might park due to mobility issues, for example, in order not to have to walk far.
    It wasn't a brand new car or anything, which I've heard some people do park across spaces, in order to avoid getting clipped by doors opening etc. That's a whole other trivial annoyance :D

    'Yuppy C' for UPC - as spoken by the person in their ad - sounds like Yvonne from FC. :(

    Trying to decide which of 2 products to buy. Today's dilemma is which cat water fountain to buy. It's either the Catmate one or the Drinkwell platinum. At the moment I'm leaning towards the Drinkwell one.

    Can't they drink out of a regular bowl?

    One of my cats will only drink out of a running tap. Well, she's my husbands cat. My cat is normal. Ish.

    Finally having a small bit of money to spend on an item of clothing for myself and there is sweet fanny adams in any of the shops that I like. And when I don't have money all I ever see are lovely things in shop windows taunting me.

    When you find a product that you really like, shampoo/ moisturiser/ whatever, and next thing it disappears without trace from shops, never to be seen, or replicated again. :(

    The amount of educated people in respected, influential and vocal positions in this society who have so much to say on the subject of a) where other people put their mickeys, or b) where other people allow yet other people to put their mickeys. I would have thought everyone would have enough to be occupying them these days, and I suggest a nice long, cool glass of mind-yer-own-fuckan-business. :D

    Not really annoying but one I've meant to put up here for a while - clowns. I know they're supposed to be those cheerful entertainers but they give me the creeps!:pac:

    When you go for a walk but end up spending it looking at the ground playing 'dodge the doggy do do! '

    2 of them will, 1 will only drink rainwater so he drinks outside and the 4th will only drink running water. He's got a tendency to get urinary tract infections so I want him to drink well. At the moment he'll drink out of a dripping down pipe or the cold tap in the bathroom sink. I don't think the tap water in the bathroom can be all that good for him.

    +1. I hate the creepy bastards. Clowns and mimes freak me out. I heard someone describe a mime as a clown you can't hear coming, too true. Something deeply disturbing about clowns and mimes *shudders.

    I hate the one guy in marketing who coughs when he eats. I feel showered with food and refuse to sit near him.

    The ad for the Primetime debates, featuring Miriam O Callaghan (with that awful grating accent), she says next Friday is the day of the elections.
    Next Friday, to me, is Friday 16th. The elections are Friday week.
