Really minor annoyances

Fuckin don't get me started on bastard dawdlers. An absolute scourge. Usually coming out of a shop or train station and stopping dead in the middle of the door to gormlessly look around and at thier phone wondering what planet this is .

The east stand at the SoL is 95% dawdle. Full time and there's 3000 people behind them wanting to get out of the ground and they are shuffling around on the stairs wondering where their empty worthers original wrapper is so they can pick it up and haven't even noticed the match finished 10 mins ago

Add the that meanderers. f***ing snaking left to right at glacial pace. Get out of the bastard way.

On the subject of dawdling. The slow tortoise like speed at which people pull away through green lights. Don’t know if it’s fuckers on their phones not paying attention or people who clearly have loads of time on their hands, but it infuriates me the amount of lights that change before you’re through because the dopey wankers a few spaces in front crawled through.

And they end up leaving about 10 car spaces between them and the car in front. Light goes amber just as they go through and you get stuck.

When the light is on green, people should be right up the person's arse in front getting as many cars as possible through in each cycle ..if you don't do this you are pathetic

Christ this place is intolerent. People who leave early, people who take their time leaving (maybe health related), people who are too loud, people who are too quiet, people who encourage poor players, people who boo poor players, ec fecking cetera.

The house next door has an overflow pipe that has been dripping for months now. The bloke is a flooring fitter and generally handy at DIY, but either has not noticed this, doesn't know how to fix it or doesn't care. It should not really bother me but it does, a little bit. I'm surprised they have not noticed it in their water bills.

Maybe not on a meter? Even if he is, you gets an awful lot of water for your money.

Happens to me often. I can see a huge gap between cars up ahead. Some twat is probably thinking “no point in rushing coz this is a long line of traffic. Nobody’s going anywhere”. Meanwhile I’m about 10 feet from a junction that’ll take me on the clear road that I need to be on, but I can’t get there cos the bastard quarter of a mile ahead won’t pull up to the car in front of him like a normal person.

The clue as to why people are expressing these things is in the thread title.

I took a mate's Dad to the match when he couldn't. He's in his early eighties and it's a huge effort physically for him to get to and from the stadium. He's had a season ticket for decades and it is the highlight of his life. The amount of twats who won't give him any extra time to walk was dreadful. Just shoving past. Certainly a small minority but the phrase 'walk a mile in their shoes' did come to mind. He could of course leave after 80 minutes but would be shot by the SoL Stasi.

I get annoyed at dawdlers who seem to bust a gut to get in front of you, then dawdle in the middle of the path. They might be coming from a path to the side or a door way, see me walking with purpose step out and then dawdle.

A few weeks ago, I was doing a music thing in a building that didn't have easy access from the car park. I was walking along with a large amp in one hand, a keyboard under one arm and a guitar strapped to my back. Two fat women in their 60s got to where their path joined mine, looked at me and stepped out, elbows out, to make sure they were in front, only narrowly missing barging into me. They then went snails pace. They could have waited 2 seconds, they could have walked close to each other, they could have walked up one side of the path or they could have picked the optimal distance from both each other and the sides of the path in which to waddle, which would prevent me getting passed. Obviously they picked the latter.

And despite being able to chat to each other quite clearly, they were both completely deaf. How else would they not have even reacted to my polite "Excude me" and "can I just squeeze past, this is all very heavy". In the end I walked around them on the grass, followed by tutting comments "It's not a race". It f***ing was, my arms would have dropped off before I got there at their speed.

When I got to the building I found they were part of an annual religious conference, where they no doubt went to sing hymns about kindness, love thy neighbour, respect others and all the other admirable virtues that Christians hold dear.
 
i love dawdling, annoys the life out of impatient people which seems to be the number one reason for people's annoyances on this thread. london is great for it, get off the tube or through a ticket barrier and come to a stop, for added effect try to anticipate which side they'll go past and shuffle over.

Yes, transport hubs are the business for this sort of behaviour. Supermarkets after the end of the 'working day' too. I reckon I could fanny on for whole minutes at the automatic passport machine in an airport. Incredibly important business people on internationally critical trips may well implode behind me.
 
A topical one that I have just been reminded of - Christmas tree lights. The "constantly set on" option always seems to be something like the 7th click on the control plug.

So, if you have more than one set of lights on a tree and you simply switch the plug on, you are immediately transported to an 80's disco strobe light experience, when all you want is some subtlety.

You missed the ones who get off an escalator and just stop.

Get this all the time at work. People who suddenly stop their trolley and decide to rearrange their shopping bags or handbag in the aisle at the bottom of the tills or the store doorway, blocking everyone else who wants to leave the store.

Have seen people get annoyed at box junctions. You look ahead and think three cars will fit in that gap over the box junction. Then one of the first cars leaves a whopping great gap, so the last car gets stuck in the box junction.
 
Actors doing mundane stuff on tv and getting it wrong......like picking up the tv remote stretching the arm out ,pointing it at the tv to change channels ... never seen anyone do that since me granny last century when the remotes were the size of a brick..or when they are taking medicine tablets the exaggeratedly toss their head back to swallow the tablets as if their gogs were nt designed to swallow stuff !
