Motorists who use the fact that you are pulling in for an ambulance to overtake you and get in the way of the emergency. Surely at the mere hint of a siren it is imperative to look in every mirror over and over and repeatedly ask 'where is it, where is it?'
People incapable of walking at a reasonable speed in a straight line as they are too busy staring at their mobile phone
whenever i have to use my phone whether its texting or phoning i stand to the side, well out of other people's way.
People/couples who walk so slowly and take up the entire pavement, even when i dont need to be somewhere its bloody irritating have to navigate around people walking slowly and oblivious to the world around them.
When you pull up at a petrol pump and the pump handle has the out of order sign attached to it. Why cant they put a sign higher up so we can see and then go to another pump.
To be fair, there are one or two on here who like to allude to their wealth/standing from time to time.
Someone more au fait with the search facility might be able to find it but I recall a thread where people were comparing their domestic servants and what retainer they pay them each week or month.
I thought I'd stumbled onto a website for Downton Abbey or The Lady rather than good old Charlton Life!
Women with oversized handbags hanging off of their forearm banging into people, sorry luv but you put my cigarette out on your bag this morning not the other way round!
What a strange coincidence because I'm on another forum with a load of other lads bang into their clobber and where it's a running joke about me having bitchin' hair, and we discussed those very shoes last week.

Interesting. I've had a few pairs of Sebago loafers over the years, usually from J.Simons various shops. First met John at The Squire Shop in Brewer Street in 67/8 and have been hooked on the look ever since.
Only found the Gibraltars recently, £140 from Sebago. £83 off Amazon. They are a thing of beauty and at the price an absolute bargain.
I've also had Sebago beef roll loafers, although I was more a Bass Weejun man. I have been a regular at J Simons shop, but do find it rather expensive.
But I'm bang into Ivy League style, so much so that I have been accused of being a Mod. Like today, a light blue Smedley, slim chinos, suede Verginia Moccasin Weavers (basically a Japanese homage to Clarks Originals) and a dark green wool Collective Noun overshirt/jacket (I know the guy who runs that brand; got an olive-coloured Ventile mac from him too, and all made in the UK). Oh, and an Ardour Brand scarf (know the guys who run that brand, too)
I was going to go for the Gibraltar boots, but I ended getting a new pair of Red Wings for the bargain price of £65 after a heads-up on that other forum.
A man after my own heart. I used to visit my aunt Peggy in Penn State, Pennsylvania in the early 70's with my best mate John. The stuff we used to find in thrift stores, for pennies, makes me weep now. If only we'd bought a container load of it!

All right, I realise I've virtually derailed this thread, so I'll tell you what really gets on my wick: that stupid bloody checkatrade.com jingle that plays before they go to the weather on Daybreak, which my, erm, wife watches. Yeah, because every fella who has a trade has a fake cockney accent.
Adverts on 4OD now offering me the choice of which advert I'd like to watch but failing to provide an option for "none of them now get on with the f***ing show I was just watching before you rudely interrupted to try and sell me perfume. Do I look like I buy perfume?!? I barely look like I wash ffs."

HMRC and the NI Offices are an absolute disgrace.
