A plethora of things from me, mainly driving. I'm sure the standard of driving has gone down in the last 20 years.
Excessive speeding - there's really no need for it People who jump lights People who tailgate People who cut in (usually when going straight on in a turn right only lane) - how impatient do you have to be? People who do not signal/signal incorrectly at roundabouts - honestly, how hard is it to signal left when going left, signal right when going right and not signal when going straight on??? People who do not drive ROUND roundabouts when there's enough room for 2 cars to go round and they end up almost smashing into the passangers side of your car. BMW, Audi and 4x4 drivers - refer to all of the above

People who don't move down the carriage then/or stand by the opened door without moving out of the way or getting off the train then/or not press the door open button they're leaning on.
When people go on holiday and you have to cover for them.

So true. After fuming silently for years, I now take great pleasure in barging aggressively past these people and then, when arriving in the space that they should have moved into, opening out my newspaper as widely as possible to demonstrate the vast amount of space around me. Small victories!

Doesnt work, has no affect, the doors will open and close upon the drivers instruction.
the people who put a door open/close button on the tube, when they dont work.
If we're generalising about car drivers can we please get rid of anyone who drives a Subaru Impreza? Never seen one yet who doesn't think he's driving in the Paris-Dakar Rally when actually he's popping down to Asda's via the ring road.
You know when you're standing behind someone at an ATM and they stick their card in, quickly retrieve it and walk off? And then when you put your card in and find out it's not dispensing cash? I really, really hate that. What would it take for them to turn round and say, 'It's not dispensing cash, mate'?
Likewise, when you're running to get your train and the people you see on the platform every single day are walking the other way. You then get to the platform sweaty and out of breath only to see the train's been cancelled. Am I the only one helpful enough to shout out, 'The train's cancelled, mate'? Typical Londoners' attitude of not wanting to get involved.

Surely if you see all the usual suspects walking the other way why not ask one of them if the trains cancelled? Be the bigger man.
What is going through your mind when you see everyone coming back from the station? "Are these people on nights this week?" Very strange.
was walking towards work the other morning, there was a really fit blond woman waiting to cross the road oppoisite me, was looking at me and smiling, couldnt belive it! didnt have the balls to speak to her, now every morning im at the same crossing waiting and havnt seen her once, that bloody anoys me for the gutlees gimp i am..
I hate it when you set up an elaborate honey-trap at a road crossing and the mark doesn't bite. The time and expense alone have really put me off setting honey-traps.

but i do this - quite often... and realise im grinning mentally as walking along! Don't other people thinking of funny things that have happened whilst traipsing to an from the office.
Tho im not saying that this woman who was smiling at Adam was doing this as i dont stare and smile at people. I snarl.
People who use white Apple headphones. Every week I have to ask some muppet to turn down their (always rubbish) music. I even had to ask someone in the office yesterday. And the look you get for asking someone to stop annoying every person in their vicinity is bloody annoying too!

The amount of bog roll women use.
People who want to get past you and just stand there and eventually say "Sorry" as they shove you. It's EXCUSE ME FFS!!!!
F**k yes.
Particularly when followed by "....a grande skinny latte" out of a grown man's mouth.
Starbucks at Canary Wharf DLR is a hotbed for such criminality. Truly sickening.
Lol!
Not at all. Just like this thread.
