Annoying bosses who don't bother to sort out next week's rota until the last minute so I still don't know if I'm working bank holiday Monday or not! Grrrr.

Actually that's not really irrational but I needed to vent

People who don't put their headlights on when it's pissing it down with rain.

You're all idiots.

I just came across this a couple of weeks ago when I was making bristlebots at an unconference held on the island. Boggles me that they can pronounce it so wrong when (unlike Aluminium/Aluminum) they spell it correctly, "solder".

People from Coalville that pronounce it "Bokkle" instead of "bottle"

I am in a venting mood tonight.

While we're on pronunciations - People who say "arksk" instead of "ask", or pronounce words that end in "thing" with "think" such as "everythink", "anythink". I may have mentioned this last one before!

is axing you a question ok though?

What annoyed me today? People unable to follow simple instructions!

Me: Press the green button
Cust: Which ones that?
Me: Bottom right
Cust: The one that says cancel?
*customer presses, cancels transaction*
Me: RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

That bloke in the U.S. who's high up in the army, his name is spelt C-O-L-I-N (say Colin) Powell, yet the Americans somehow call him co-lynne Powell. Drives me mad and I always end up shouting at the tv.
