What annoys you?

[Coxster]

We've just been having a rant at work about what in life annoys you. With two women at the moment so a lot of ideas have already been thrown around (with much enthusiasm I may add!).

Got me wondering - what REALLY annoys you in life?

 

[Pumbaa]

People who insult my intelligence, or think they are better than me.

 

[mrcheek]

damned threads like this, where I come up with something really profound and intellectual, and yet it doesnt get read because it gets drowned in a sea of replies from all and sundry.
or ends up as the last comment on a page when everybody has moved to the next one......

 

[Craig]

I'd like to think that I'm quite laid back, I don't get annoyed about much really.

One think that I do find particularly irritating is poor driving. I'm not claiming to be a great driver or anything, but I find it quite worrying how many people can't even manage the basics like using indicators or even looking where they're going :roll:

Rule 1: Don't make out you are a dick on Facebook, bebo, forums etc, because the first thing that any employer/potential employer does is look up your details. Unless you don't care or it doesn't matter of course.

Lot of things annoy me, but I'm aiming to become more chilled. I even agreed with Richard Littejohn today in the Daily Mail, so something must seriously be wrong.
