    Made up advertising words splicing two different words together to try to suggest an advertising 'concept'.

    'Enjoyneering' on the UEFA SF / Final hoardings was one.

    'chilax' is another - horrible advertising made up PR word, trying to convey active, go getting competitive relaxation.

    The people coming up with these words should be hunted down and made to suffer an inhumane death.

    Pedestrians who press the "cross" button when there's nothing coming, so that when you come driving along they're long gone and you have to stop for nobody.

    Why birds with huge knockers always seem to be with blokes with bald / shaved heads.
    As a bloke with a bald/shaved head I can assure you that is not always the case!

    Online Bingo and the adverts for those sites. This one in particular:

    None of those things will happen when you join that site. You are basically paying to loose money and sit alone at your computer. Its madness.

    the fact that "mirror, signal, manoeuvre" has been replaced by "don't bother checking, bollox to signalling, violently swerve into path of car in next lane".

    People with cabin luggage on Easyjet bigger than 56cmx44cmx25cm. Selfish arseholes.
    Agreed, I'd also add people who have hand luggage on wheels that they drag around. The clue's in the name.
    I despise using the underground because of this, the shocking thing is it usually turns out to be 'men' too !

    People who feel the need to name their house.

    Snobs the lot of 'em.

    And while I'm on the subject. Snobs in general.
    I know this was an old comment, just wanted to confess :)

    My childhood home and the home I'm currently living in is named "Sejr". My family and I moved in several years ago. The house is nearly a hundred years old (there's a plaque on the side that says 1914). Several houses in my neighborhood have names like "Helga" and "Vesterled", most of them are VERY old.

    I'm not a fan of people naming their houses either, but if I see a very old house with a name, I think it's kind of nice (gives it personality and makes it stand out).

    I had the same feeling as you, when I passed a very big, newly renovated house, which suddenly was dubbed "Vita" from one day to the next - it just somehow annoyed me.

    And by the way "Sejr" means Victory - here's hoping for some good luck in the future ;)
