Bugbears

Sage bookkeeping program! (see DIY accounting thread, been spending, no wasting 1.5 hours trying to get a decent balance sheet out of it - 'charity-work', which in my preferred program MYOB is just done with one button = 1 minute)

Cars with large bore drainpipes instead of silencers - why do the police ignore them?

Same reason they ignore most other small offences, they don't police any more they're just statisical gathering officers now, so that TB can boast about crime rates and numbers.

"Modern life (I'm only 39, b.1966, btw!) is so impersonal now. Lonliness will become epidemic. Even the supermarkets have started using self-service checkouts..... "

Oh, no, my dear fellow! In posh Bramhall, it is open 6-12, but Handforth Dean down the road is open 24h, as is Portwood Extra.
 
What about, when in a DIY store, there is someone walking around with a length of something (beading, piping etc) and they are holding it horizontally rather than vertically?!?! :evil:

And then they have the nerve to question my smoking?

Well, I have to ask if you realise that Dutch "shmoking" isn't legal over here ;)

OK, my bugbears:

1) improper foglight use x100
2) OAPs who do their weekly shop at lunchtime on a weekday... I know I'm not the only one, people in suits and skirts darting about avoiding the trolleys as they try to buy a sarnie
3) chavs who use the word "son" but in the black rapper use of the word rather than the cockney way.
4) 99% of the people who live in my town. ******* and inbreds the lot of them.
5) intolerance
6) people with no sense of irony
7) People who can only work in one system of units: you say something in celsius and they say "Ooooh, I can't figure that out, give it to me proper in Fahrenheit!", or you give a mass in pounds and they say "oooh, what's that in kilos?!".
8) People who don't know that a pint is 568ml. Seriously, this one has come up many times! On Friday I sat there whilst someone got a calculator and a conversion chart out as he tried to figure out how many pints 2.5l is!
9) people who say "illuminous" when they mean "luminous". A highlighter is a "luminous" marker, not an "illuminous" marker!
10) The council that charges me shedloads of council tax, then writes me snotty letters when I write them a letter telling them what to spend my share of the tax on.
11) People who zoom up to a roundabout so they get there first, and you think "Blimey, I better stop or I'll collide with that guy!", then they brake really hard down to about 2mph to make the turn and accelerate soooooo slowly away from it.
12) People who treat a miniroundabout like it's not even there.
13) People who shake their hands violently to remove excess water whilst waiting for the hand-drier, but in such a way it spatters your trousers and makes it look like you've had splashback at the urinals
14) People who refuse to instate a "world's youngest grumpy old man" award to reward 25-year-old chaps who compile long lists of silly little things that really shouldn't annoy but do.
