General things that Annoy you

Middle lane hoggers, but in particular those who pootle along 20 mph under the limit. This is one of the things mainland Europeans do get right (even though they only tend to have 2 lanes), they overtake and get straight back over. 

Blokes I share the driving on long journeys with at work do it, they both go into a daydream and sit in the middle lane doing 60 mph, not even realising the irate drivers in the cars that frequently undertaking them. They will not drive in the inside line at any cost. Explained a to them a few time that I was taught the middle and outside lanes are for overtaking only, but they won't have it

Thanks @Gribbo I’ve leant that it’s pootle and not poodle.

This has annoyed me for years, I had a long conference call to be on and I got one of the newer lads to drive me down to Dover. We got as far as Gillingham before I'd pressed the mute button and started to tell him to get out of the middle lane. Cue him then going into the outside lane and me explaining to him the laws of the motorway. He genuinely didn't have a clue, which has long been my suspicion about how appalling UK drivers are at lane discipline. Its ignorance, as I undercut some toerag sat in the middle lane they are barely aware they are being undertaken. I drive a massive pick up truck for work so it isn't like a hot hatch zipping in and out of lanes being impatient. The official 0-60 speed of my wagon must be "eventually". I'd propose the middle lane of the m25 between clacket lane and leatherhead gets sponsored by uber or Addison Lee. Thats where the gommos hang out

Also on an overtaking/speed on motorways theme:

Lorry drivers who overtake a slow moving lorry on a two lane road, but then proceed to take ten minutes to get past the slower lorry. If it takes that long to get past him, you didn’t need to overtake, you selfish prick. Either pootle along behind him and get to your destination 200 miles away one minute later or wait until there’s no traffic to hold up before making the move. 

I suspect with lorries it might have something to do with the mandatory breaks they have to take. Don't get angry, give them some space and remember they are doing an important and difficult job.

Putting a new razor blade on your shaver which then due to it being significantly sharper than you previous blade, which has not been replaced for several weeks, ends up tearing bits out of your face and neck. 

But that 2 mins could make you miss your connection. Not all trains are every 2 mins.

I’m talking about the overground though. If your overground train to wherever is hourly (or worse) and you’re cutting it fine, 2 mins could be the difference between making that overground or having to wait an hour for the next one (without a seat res).

Holiday cottage rental sites that use half the available photographs for things like breadboards with a homemade loaf and some jam or vases of flowers on window sills or baskets of croissants and jam with glasses of orange juice beside them. Show me what the rooms and the garden look like, you divs, not some bit of random shopping that won't actually be there when i arrive!

Having towels blow off the line so I have to wash them again. Then putting them over the line with a dozen pegs to hold them in place, and coming home to find the bleeding washing line has snapped... 🤬🙄

Get wifey to do it Perry 😏 

You can tell her mate. Good luck... In fairness, she does the ironing, so I get away lightly.

Its one of my pikey neighbours firing up their stinking pizza oven just as the washing has gone out that is a particular pain in the dick 

Pizza ovens are this generations fondue sets

Pizza ovens are world class and i wont hear a bad word about them!

They do more to ravage the air quality than a non ULEZ motor. Nice pizzas come out of them though 

Not if you use properly sourced fuel, mine uses wood pellets which are sustainable and only sourced from forest management rather than any deforestation. They also burn very clean.

Perfect summary, though I can now make pizza dough* - which has a bit more longevity than fondue I reckon.
