Cricketers who shout "Catch" and commentators who then add "Shouts of catch".

Re: Things that Annoy You
Tailgating is a good one, Id forgotten about that. I sometimes put my hazard warning lights on when im being tailgated. Sometimes they get the message, and sometimes they even get closer. Too many aggressive, angry drivers on the roads these daysRedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 1:21 pmComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 9:04 pm Velcro

Almost anything anyone else does on public transport - I guess its not being able to get away from them
"Offers" from BT which have a million terms and conditions
Not being able to beat my son at Fifa
My watch which keeps telling me to stand up
Having to buy new policies for everything every year because they stiff you on renewals
Litter
People on planes with massive carry-on bags
Babies in business class
Foxes
Tradespeople who still can't do a good job even though they've been doing it for years
Politicians
You-tubers who con kids that their recommendations aren't something they've been paid for
Shrink-flation
Climate-change deniers and other stupid people
Love Island and other reality nonsense
God, I could go on and on...............

If you car is quick enough, hit the brakes hard, then floor it and watch the horror on their face as they struggle to hold it all together whilst you piss yourself laughing.Orient Punxx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 2:36 pmFeather the brakes - has a more amusing effect.ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 1:31 pmTailgating is a good one, Id forgotten about that.

Re: Things that Annoy You
I got brake checked by a car recently on Tower Bridge and I was on my bike.
Motorists who can't be bothered to indicate anymore or indicate 2 milliseconds before they do the maneuver.Totally unhelpful.
EDF Energy with their nuisance texts and phone calls to get me to have a Smart Meter installed.Eff off.

Those upside down number 8's in the Orient changing room and the fact that the Orient media team love to do interviews in front of them.

Re: Things that Annoy You
Origins:
In the early 1980s, the highways and byways of North America became the showcase for America’s latest pet rock, the “Baby on Board” sign. The five-inch,black-on-yellow diamond-shaped signs which became an overnight sensation were usually placed in corners of vehicles’ rear windshields with suction cups.
Unlike what is implied in the gruesome folklore that has come to be associated with these advisories, their purpose was not to alert rescue workers to the presence of babies at accident scenes; they were instead supplications to other drivers to exercise additional care, reminders that they shared the road with vehicles carrying children.
Though the backstory about an infant who died in a car crash because he wasn’t found in time is one that would chill any parent’s blood, how these signs came to be is far removed from the lore. There were no dead babies, no horrific crashes.
In 1984, Michael Lerner founded Safety 1st for the purpose of manufacturing “Baby on Board” signs. The inspiration for the signs came not from a deadly accident that took the life of a youngster but from a friend who saw similar stickers in Europe.
Mr. Lerner himself was occasionally worked into the rumor — some versions asserted this childless bachelor had first developed the ”Baby on Board!” idea after losing a son or a daughter in an accident.
From its humble beginnings, Safety 1st went on to become a juvenile products marketer with a lineup that included teething rings, potty chairs, and electronic baby monitors — 650 items at all. The company went public in 1993, then was bought by Dorel Industries Inc., its Canadian rival, for $195 million in 2000.

Re: Things that Annoy You
Shoppers, especially in supermarkets, who apparently have no thought of the process of paying until they are physically told how much they owe, at which point they rake through a bag to find a purse, within which they search for the cash/ right card to pay with.
And while on the subject of supermarket checkouts, people who hand over a chunk of money off vouchers, with no real idea how many may be valid, and the poor assistant has to detach each one, scan it, either accept it or decline, while everyone else behind in the queue looks exasperated at the thoughtlessness for others of the person at the front.
