Had an idea for a thread that might run a while, (apologies if it has been done before).
Little things in life seem to annoy me that didn't previously, it must be age related I guess.

Here are some examples:

People on "benefit" walking sticks, who clearly do not need them.

Commercial radio presenters who say "coming up next is ...", then subject you to three minutes of inane adverts.

Oldies who hog the middle lane (normally wearing hat & gloves)

Oldies out for a drive on a bright, sunny Sunday afternoon, who insist on displaying sidelights.

Come to think of it, anyone who drives with sidelights.

The Scum newspaper highlighting words in bold capitals for effect.

Religious fundamentalists (of any faith)

Plastic packaging that is near impossible to get into

Steve Wright

Phew! That's better.

I know how you feel, it is definitely age related.

Add:
Disabled badge holders who aren't
 
And people who park in parent and toddler spaces when they haven't got children - or even worse, people who have got children (and so should definately know better) but park in the spaces when they haven't got their children with them. Having a child seat in the car does not give you the right to park in the parent and toddler spaces!!!

I don't think its an age thing, i'm (relatively) young (one year older tomorrow!!!) and most of the things you've mentioned, i find annoying!!

And people who think that their decision to have kids should give them priority over others. :LOL: Not just in terms of car parking either.

Shoppers, who look surprised when asked for payment after putting goods through till ( then spend 2 1/2 hrs looking for purse/correct change, only to produce a bl**dy card which they can't remember the pin.

Cold callers

Hi Viz culture: surely if H&S have their own way, then every pedestrian will have to wear one; come to think of it,soon everybody from birth will have one.
 
How about vehicles with 'Baby on board' signs that clearly don't. Grrrr

Delivery drivers who don't turn up when they say they will. Grrrr

Dustmen who leave litter scattered all over the place. Grrrr

Cyclist who want the whole carriageway, usually two of them. Grrrrr

'Well rotted manure for sale'. Bought 1 bag for some roses - it was fresh horse sh11t

Barstewert BT who keep calling me to sell me a new Hub. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

British Gas who have 'never over-charged our dwelling'
I agree, but after studying our gas consumption and our our tariff, I produced a spread sheet (that was sent special delivery as a back up) to missus 'safe' who after a total of 27 hours on the phone secured us a rebate. It took a lot of calculations and formulas to get it right, but it was worth the time.
The wife called me yesterday to explain how much we were over charged in the last 3 years. £3065.
Phone costs were over £100.
Call me anal if you wish but thats a holiday fae me and family.
The rebate will be with us in 3 working days. Hopefully :confused:

I'm with you on this one Richard. The other one is women that don't know how a thermostatic radiator valve works. :rolleyes: They're just not programmed correctly to understand the concept.
