    When you're trying to overtake a slow walker but there's no room to move around them on the path.

    When you're in a hurry to cross the road but every single car in the city decides to come down that road at exactly that point.

    Taking headphones out of a pocket/bag and discovering they have tangled themselves in knots. Again.

    Forgetting to charge your ipod, so the battery dies five minutes into an hour long journey.

    And the ultimate first world problem: Putting a poster up on the wall, only for it to slowly fall off again over the course of a couple of days.

    I could actually rant about this forever

    People posting 6 or 7 fb statuses in one day, I don't need to know everything, doll.

    People who take the michael to reply. This is especially annoying on BBM where you can actually SEE the little 'R' so you know they've read it. Nothing brings my insecurities out more than this!

    People who smoke at the bus stop, especially if it's quite enclosed.

    When you're behind someone practically doing a whole weekly shop at the self service checkout. I only came in for a Pasta N' Sauce and a Sprite, shift yo' ass!

    **** that doesn't do what it's supposed to.

    Like dishwashers. You have to ****ing wash the dishes before you put them in. I want to put my food covered, stained, dirty dishes into the dishwasher. So the dishwasher, can wash the dishes. ****ING hell. DISH - WASHER - WASH - DISHES. ****.
    You're meant to wash them first? :lolwut: I don't. :teehee:

    Facebook.

    When my manager won't stop chattering away about inane crap when I'm trying to concentrate.

    When my housemate blasts death metal at 3am.

    It's even more annoying when the pavement is quite wide but still you can't get past!
    Uh huh. And then sometimes you try to squeeze past them and end up awkwardly brushing against someone :getmecoat:

    slow grannies on roundabouts, traffic, tedium, chino w*****s, topman and hollister clones and annoying parents, going around in circles with difficult math problems for 2 hours and getting nowhere! 5 hours of science lessons in one day.

    Slow walkers.
    As well as people who somehow take up the whole pavement/supermarket aisle while doing so.

    Another thing I dislike intensely is when you're walking in a wide open space and somebody walks up behind you clearly trying to get past - just go past, will you? There's hardly anyone else there and plenty of space.

    People who use the world random incorrectly.
    People who say 'BOOM'.

    Both of them can get ****ed.

    - people who park on the pavement. There's a road to park on. Oh, and if it's yellow lines and a narrow pavement, it means don't park there

    - slow walkers who block the pavement

    - periods at really inappropriate times

    - people who don't blow their nose and just sit there and sniff. Just how difficult is it to blow your nose?

    Re: Things that piss the hell out of you in everyday life
    People paying in a shop/getting on a bus who do not have their money ready to pay. I know it's not a big deal, and sadly i think iv complained about this on TSR before, but it just really gets to me! For example, they get to the front of the queue let the cashier ring up all their items, get told then total and THEN start digging out the wallet/purse, faffing around for money.

    I know it probably only holds up the queue for an extra few seconds but it seriously just grinds my gears. They know they are going to have to pay eventually, why not be ready?

    Apologies for this rant.
