Pointless conversations. For example, where a brief hello / good morning exchange with a passing neighbour or work colleague would suffice, but being forced to go through the painful "how are you / not too bad , how about you / I'm fine / good good " nonsense, lots of pointless meaningless words where a simple hello would do. Also "good good" as an expression, very annoying in itself.

I got round that at work by always answering in a surprising and unnecessary regional accent. People have stopped asking

I used to work with a guy that would reply to "how was your weekend " with things like "you know, the work of the fishermens union is never done " and just walk off

The banner that comes up on the Guardian website: 'For less than a cup of coffee you can support the Guardian for £5 a month'

If you idiots are paying £5 or more for a cup of beans mixed with boiled water then no wonder you are desperately in need of cash.

Black cab drivers that think they own London. Just went out at lunch and nearly got knocked down at a zebra crossing by one.

Was being tail-gated by one yesterday that kept trying to undertake me (even though there was no lane to my left, he was trying to find a gap between the curb and me particularly at points where the road widened at junctions or if there was a bike lane) because I wasn't driving fast enough into the back of the tanker that was in front of it. Once a bus lane appeared he went twice the speed limit down it to undertake both the tanker and me. Utter idiot.

Whilst we're on cars...

People who don't know what the lines in the middle of the road mean.

When a window pops up right in the middle of the screen on ITV player asking if you want it to install something from there on your computer, and it asks if you agree or not. If you disagree the window just keeps reappearing until you click on agree. Why bother asking? Crap flogging wankers.

Imagine if you had to pay a fee to watch it

Anybody who looks or sounds like a certain scouser at this moment in time, thankfully I live in SA so not many of those around

When you're five minutes into a TV show and there are still cast and production staff names flashing up at the bottom. It's annoying, I don't need to know who one of the five producers was whilst the plot is being set up. If only there was somewhere at the end of the episode where all the people involved could receive the credit they deserve, wouldn't that be a novel idea.

Imagine if you had to pay a fee to watch it.

Signs on the Motorway like.... The A2 at the A28 is closed.

Okay that doesnt help me one bit, there are hundreds of "A" Roads in the country and I barely know any of them, nor can I check to see where the A28 (in case its local) because I'm bloody driving!!

- Did you have a nice weekend?

- Yes lovely thanks, and you?

- Quite a quiet one actually.

- Oh, they're often the best aren't they..

I seem to hear this conversation almost every week.

Are you Tony Watt?

The pillock who cut me up at a junction, then at the next junction proceeded to wait 20 seconds for a slow-moving HGV to pass.

Opening the Duolingo thread expecting it to be some new sexual practice that the youngsters do and it actually being about learning a new language

All the adds when booking a holiday these day, apparently dropping one on the plane costs a fiver if it's not silent.
