Local radio DJs who insist on talking at the listeners in sycophantic, over-excited voices |

1)The lack of snow when everywhere else gets some. Same goes for thunder and lightening 2)Hairdresses who want to talk to you about modern day crime shows just because they forced you into saying you had an interest in victorian crime. I'm not paying your extortionate charges to speak! 3)People who talk crap and expect you to agree even if I know better and/or studied the subject of dicussion and know for a fact that their point is flawed. 4)The fact my window faces out onto the dark backyard and is constantly dim, requiring use of a lamp in the middle of the afternoon. Will think of some more. |

LOL Paul, At first I thought you were talking about Bec's itchy skin! (Sorry Bec) A few that spring to mind - The mega-NOISY exhaust on the litte hatchback owned by one of the next-door neighbours - sounds like a flatulent tractor - and he's been back and forth in it today like a flea in a blanket. Moody people who won't say what's the matter with them. Not being able to find things round the house when I need them, then finding them when I don't. People who wait till I'm in the bath or the loo before phoning or ringing the doorbell. (How do they know?) 'Friends' you haven't heard from for ages, who suddenly crop up just before Christmas or their birthdays. People who won't admit they're wrong when it's proven. 'Information' websites that waffle on endlessly and make it damn near impossible to find anything useful on them. Sneaky people who stitch up others behind their backs. Next-door's cat - it bit me and drew blood this morning when I tried to put it out of my kitchen. |

1) Small children starting sentences with 'But' (I forsee the slippery slope to 'yeah, but, no, but') 2) People using hand held mobile phone while turning the car. 3) People who think accelerating up a narrow 'Access Only' cobbled back street with a sharp bend is fine. After all, their kids have jumped clear of the car and entered the playground. Everyone else will just have to take their chances. I am sure there will be more :o) |

5) People who outbid me on 19th century barristers wigs. I was ok but now I realise I'm quite furious with you. You know who you are, even if I don't! 6) The fact I wear a coat indoors because CPL Longman refuses to put on central heating unless absolutlely nessecery. Oh, and now he's in bed ill. Hope it's a cold, you heat dictator you! 7) Bus drivers who talk in funny southern accents who treat my getting to education on time as some sort of gameshow. 'Guess when I'm Coming???' Yeah, never on time! Idiot. |

CB, I apologise for point 2 lol Andy - don't listen to local radio then ! another couple; Hot matches with people who don't seem to exist, or who don't reply to my mails songs that are rubbish, but on the radio playlist, so you end up hearing them 3 times a day, they worm their way into your mind, and then you find yourself humming them whilst doing the ironing. |

Business speak.....those annoying little David Brent managerial style sayings that creep in - 'lets chalk and talk', 'hit the ground running', 'chomping at the bit' etc. My boss is guilty of this and before you know it, you get sucked in and start using them yourself. |
