Non messages. When you hear a message that goes something like "this is a London Underground passenger announcement. There are no delays on the Northern line and a regular service is in operation on the Bakerloo line"
When someone in the office gets a new car and wants to show it off to the rest of the office and they all waddle off to the Car Park - I couldn't give a flying fuck if you've got a new Car!!!
When a politician finds himself on the ropes during a TV interview and plays his ‘get out of jail card. (Peers into the camera lens and says) ‘This is a conversation that we need to have’.
What conversation, with who and when? More pertinently how comes you haven’t already had the conversation and come up with some answers?

My 2 GTTAY today 1. People that can't walk in a straight line 2. The gap between the "Tartan Army" and the band finishing the dirge that is Flower of Scotland
The plank at the bar who keeps changing his drink order AFTER the barmaid has poured it (he's also ordering spirit mixers) then getting arsey when after he does this twice the barmaid refuses to change it because she is having to throw booze down the sink and now he's holding up other people ordering drinks by demanding he should be allowed to change his mind even though the drink is poured.

Let's just say if it's takes you as long to order a drink as it does for someone to post on Charlton Life on how annoying you are, you ought to be barred from all pubs and bars forever for life. Especially this bloke who changed his order from vodka and coke to southern comfort and coke to Tia Maria and coke and then complained about having too much ice. This may have been acceptable in a Tiger Tiger but this happened in the pub down the road from me!!

Precis this to "people who do not understand pub etiquette". Particularly prevalent in holiday towns where people who normally don't set foot outside their house after dark, decide to go to a bar because they are on holiday.
The crossing of the number seven by non-continental Europeans.
If I confess that I also put a slash through a zero, am I barred from The Long Pond?! :-(
Yep and me, I also sweep the bottom of a Z underneath so it resembles a 3 in some some peoples eyes. But then again at nearly 60 years old I wear a baseball cap so theres no hope left in this world for me.
Must admit, I also put a line through 7 and 0, but in my defence, I used to deal with a lot of figures, and one day someone mistook a 7 for a 1 that I had written, and there was a lot of problems, so I started crossing 7 and 0, and never had any problems after that
