Lorry Drivers who want to drive right up to your bumper but never overtake .

I had one on Monday evening coming home from Inverness - he came out of nowhere and there he was trying to play ' Duel ' with me - I was doing a steady 60 , so I dropped down to 50 to give him a chance to overtake but he kept on sticking to my bumper - finally I decided to put my foot down and left him about a mile or so behind me till eventually I couldn't see him in my rear view mirror , essentially he forced me to speed up , why do they do that ?

Having to listen to people in the office sing the praises of Karren Brady after her showing on the apprentice. everyone keeps telling me that she is such a good and successful business woman, and then calling me a sexist misogynist when I tell them that I do not like her.

AND breathe...

Hope you're okay Pinky?

Cars can be repaired/replaced easily, people are harder to fix.

That's really annoying. Late for work? You should've left earlier in case someone smashed into you.

Making the tea at work to find a cup/bowl in the sink with dirty, grim water and all the spoons put in it.

Why oh why can't people just leave the spoons on the draining board? Surely it's completely dirty leaving them in a bowl of scummy water because someone can't be arsed washing something up properly.

MOTD annoys me now. It's become too much of a "programme". Remember when MOTD was just about showing football highlights?

I don't get why we need more than 2 spoons at my place - one for tea, one for coffee. When you're done just leave it on the draining board for the next person. At my place there's nearly always about 20 spoons in the sink in amongst all the dirty plates. Which is another thing that annoys me - put them in the dishwasher ffs.
