As per the title.

The top 3 things that really ticks me off are :-

1) Rattle noises, it really drives me crazy to hear rattles in a car.

2) Wind noises when the windows are up.

3) Any kind of smells, worst offenders are food odours, the smell of burning oil and exhaust fumes.

what are yours' ?

Realising there isn't a decent place to put a bottle of water.

1) The fact I can't open my passenger side front window from the driver's side (I have an electric switch for my window but not the passenger one)... Whilst I don't need it a lot, if it's raining so much I can't see out of the window, and want to wind it down to get a better view, it's a pain in the bum!

That's the main one!

Arriving just on time for a meeting, only to find there's no free parking spaces anywhere. That ranks fairly high up there.

Key fob is breaking. Immobiliser goes off randomly. The driver side door isn't properly weather sealed, so moisture gets inside the car and there's usually a torrent of water as you open the door. The tyre seals are probably loose, and the tyres need inflating most weeks. The radio barely picks up half the channels our there. CD player doesn't work. Etc.


But hey, it's not my car

When your friend decides to change the song and plays something crap.

Like recently, one disconnected my ipod and played Beyonce-If I was a boy off his iPod -_-
I wanted to hit him. Very hard.

Also, when people comment on your driving, especially people that can't drive...

[Aisha~~]

CD player switching to traffic report randomly, whilst also increasing the volume by ~50%. Bricks are **** every time, but I can't figure out how to turn that function off.

[TattyBoJangles]

Passengers.

Particularly the ones who try to change the song / radio, put their feet on the dashboard, leave their rubbish in the car etc. My boyfriend used to do all of those and in the end I actually pulled over and told him to get out. It's just so annoying.
He also once tried to hold my hand when I was changing gear.. really..?

Edit: I have a "no smelly / messy food" policy in the car, yet my boyfriend's friend decided to ignore that and started eating a sugar-coated jam doughnut. I told him not to but he just shrugged and carried on eating.
I don't think I've ever been so pissed off. I've let it be known he isn't getting a lift anywhere again. Sounds a bit harsh, but he isn't even my friend so I don't particularly car if he thinks it's harsh. If I give you a lift out of the kindness of my heart, respect my rules.

SLow Drivers!!!!!

[DuncanMono]

People driving on their phones, especially if they are at traffic lights I get the urge to knock on the windows and shout

[Nuffles]

Wow, some of you are really, really uptight about driving and your cars. Having lived with a '68 Morris Minor for a year and a half you kinda get used to engine noise, transmission whine, being able to see daylight between the top of your door and the seal and thus getting a bit soggy when it rains, having to slam the drivers door to get it to shut properly, the fact that sometimes the auxiliary systems fuse would become unseated and you'd lose wipers, lights, radio, and fuel gauge until you stopped, lifted the bonnet and reseated the fuse, and the wonderful smell of petrolly exhaust

Now driving a VW Golf where it's warm, dry, and everything works like it's meant to I feel pretty pampered. There's no way I could ask people to not eat smelly food or whatever in the car because I do exactly that and eat Maccies and KFC all the time in there. The rear footwell is often a foot deep in rubbish and food packets.

I'm pretty chilled out in the car but the things that get to me are successive red lights and people being ***** on the road. Other than that driving for me is a pretty pleasant experience in whatever I'm driving.

When the windows are down and you get a weird vibrating noise (I cant describe it very well).
Passengers opening windows (only my front ones are electric)
Anyone touching my radio, I plug my iPod in as Im not a fan of radio channels but people like to change through them
Passengers touching things they dont know anything about.
The weird clicky noise that happens whenever my wipers move (and the one that squeaks)
The fact that if I even have a bottle of water on my passenger seat, the seatbelt light and a light to tell me to turn the baby seat (I dont have/need one) the right way to protect it come on

I think I know what you mean... Least in my case I reckon it's the air in the cabin resonating, I was able to shut it up by opening the sunroof an inch at the same time.

Pulling down my sun visor and a spider falling onto my lap..

[rainbow.panda]

Can't really complain about my car, it's more other people that annoy me. I can't stand when people don't indicate at junctions and roundabouts.

They're unpleasant when they come up behind you at a hell of a speed and overtake you on whatever type of road you're on. At least, this is usually my experience with them.

Just makes me uncomfortable. Really though, it's cars overtaking stupidly/riskily that I find worse.
