Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

Seriously? I dont think they realise they are doing it sometimes

Edit: As I type this, she is talking with her mouth full. That really pisses me off!

The couple was effectively Wayne and Waynetta. They were going to the gym so they could say they'd been going to the gym. They are/were one of the main reasons why I stopped going to the gym.

Talking and eating drives me mad! My Dad does it, and when he starts choking his solution is to shovel more food in. Suddenly I don't feel homesick!

Glad to have helped

I know what you mean, about going to the gym just to say you've been to the gym. I know Ive mentioned people with no co-ordination in exercise classes, and now its the ones that put no effort in whatsoever!

You are supposed to PUNCH the air in Combat, not just put your arms out in front of you! Its not as though you've been doing it for hours and you're knackered, ITS ONLY THE WARM UP TRACK FFS!

Breathe.

That is annoying. The people who say "I don't know what it is but I just can't seem to lose weight." Maybe it's something to do with the big Mac and fries you were shovelling into your face earlier

But then get all defensive when you point that out

Being right about the new software/workflow that was rolled out on Saturday...

Only spent 18 months developing the module to find out that something I raised as a concern, and which was dismissed as a training issue, has become a concern...

It's annoying when you're completely right about something

Shopworkers who look at you and make you feel like a criminal when you ask for a carrier bag.

Ha! Our town is apparently carrier bag free. I asked for a bag from a shop just before this policy came into place and she looked at me like I'd just killed a puppy and said 'You wont be able to have one this time next week' in a really evil voice. I walked with my stick at the time and said something along the lines of I'd shop somewhere that it was possible for me to leave the shop with my purchases then.

Unless it's a Swedish car....

I'll add "people who drive with their front fog lights on when it's not foggy because they think it makes them look like Ari Vatanen"

Oh and...

"Bikers who insist on driving at all times with their main beam on" - I can appreciate you need to be seen, but dip beam is fine, thanks...
