Little things that irritate you

Some people do their whole weekly shop when they go into petrol station and you sit beihind then waiting for them to come out with their bags of shopping.

They then take a age to get everything in the car and drive off.

Worst of all is when they browse before getting petrol, what is so interesting in a petrol station

Being forced to apologise to a cretin at work who got upset about an email I sent him on Friday just because he spent the weekend watching the Olympics with the CEO.

I haven't done it yet and am wondering if I can put at the end of the 'apology' that I am surprised and disappointed at how the situation has been handled.

I cant quite understand how a bloke could do it. I doubt I've ever used more than 10% of my allocated minutes. Do you use it for work? Its surely the only explanation.
Talking to yer bird while you're on holiday is expensive. I only had a 200 minute a month rolling contract, now i find out you can have 1200 minutes for a quid extra a month just to rub it all in.

Just a general shout out to all the new breed of wannabe Olympian Cyclists. It's very endearing that you want to get off your fat arses and prop up the cycling economy but please remember to learn how to ride and the rules of the road. Funnily enough you backpack toting clowns jumping on another fad don't get closed roads and stewarded courses for you to merrily cycle on like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, so unless you want to know what 2 ton of Kia Sedona chewing you up feels like, have a ****ing peep at the highway code.

Event organisers that over sell concerts meaning an hour to queue to get in and then 45 minutes to queue for a beer. :thdn:

Passport control at Gatwick.
New passport with funny squiggle on? - Queue here where we have 3 staff to help you through the doors (even though only 2 people used them)
Non-UK passport? -Queue here where we have 5 staff to assist all 6 of you.
UK passport? - Queue here for 40 minutes whilst the 6 staff on duty labour through 2,000+ people.

Here's a tip.....use all staff to man the flaming boxes and get the queues down. We've just got off a 4-5hour flight in the small hours of the morning and want to get our baggage and go home (and have a fag).

Oh, and make it obvious that you are on the second floor when you get outside to save me standing there like a plum waiting for a cab that is downstairs....

Old drivers, got stuck behind one earlier on a dual carriageway, I was in the right hand lane trying to get past a few lorries in the left, old bint pulls out and proceeds to drive at the same speed as the lorries. Just get the f*** out of my way you old ****. Headbanger

this +1!

I was cycling to work, and about 20-30 middle to old aged men in tight suits and stupid numbers on the back of their back pass me. I gave each one a dirty look to my right. After many many years of cycling on that road I've never seen activity like this, so it was a good coinsidence it was the same week as Olympic mania in the UK. They were all twats.

The importance that people (women) place on celebratory cards.

I mean, taking her somewhere expensive for dinner and in a few weeks to some horse show, which means missing my curtain raising football match didn't seem to count for a thing until I'd handed over (after provocation) a little piece of paper with Happy Birthday written on it.

As much as I loved the Olympics, I really don't want to listen to another radio phone-in to discuss what the 'legacy' is etc etc.

Women who only become/seem interested when you're with another bird.

Asked some really fit bird I work with out twice, she accepted but was really tough work when we were out and we drifted apart. I start going out with somebody else and now she's texting me every five minutes and couldn't seem more-keen.
