I'm a software developer and I worked in jobs for years that required me to call costumer care of multiple companies many times every day so I'm not some rube who doesn't know what he's talking about

For example I know about the data protection act that means they can only talk to the account holder or a nominated contact

Every time I read this thread, I think of more things/people that annoy me - dunno what that says about me!! :P

Additions:
People who insist on standing in the middle of the elevator - move to one side and let others past! Same goes for people who walk in reeeally slooooow groups and take up the whole path. MOVE!

Guitar music with the treble up too high.

People who chew gum noisily. I don't even know how they do it but it's so irritating! Was doing an exam last year and a girl in the next row was chewing gum in the loudest possible way, made my skin crawl and was so distracting!

I wanted to experience what my mam went through giving birth is all. Quite alot of swearing was done but I wasn't in labour as long as I was with my 1st child.

Flukey

Having to shout over so-called background music that no one wants or is listening to in order to have a conversation in a pub. There you are, having a good chat with friends, as are groups of people all around the pub. There is a good buzz in the place and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves and the pub is quite full, so they are doing a good business. Then all of a sudden music starts blaring from speakers, either from recorded music or a live performer in a place that is not a music pub or concert venue. The staff have put this on and although they have to shout at you to repeat your order because they can't hear you over the din of the music and the voices that have had to be raised to maintain the conversations, they won't even turn the music down, never mind off completely. After getting rid of smoke, it is now the most annoying thing in a pub. If we want music, we'll go to a music pub or concert venue. The regular pubs should leave the music off so that people can continue to enjoy their night as they were up to the point the music was put on. Background music is all very well, but it should be just that: background music.

People who mime using cutlery when explaining that they want a knife and fork in an Asian restaurant.

Seriously, even if the waitstaff don't speak a lot of English, I'm pretty sure "silverware" is right up there at the top of their vocabulary list if they work in a restaurant!

Here are some irritating points to air travel.
That big rush to board a plane, all the muppets cramming on to be first to get their seat, Then looking at the last people to get on in disgust as if we were delaying them. :rolleyes:
Then as soon as the un-buckled seatbelt light turns off the madness starts with the overhead compartments that they just put their stuff in has to be rifled through one more time just to make sure there crap is still there where they left it.
Oh and infamous toilet trips.You are on an hour flight do you really need to be up and down the isle five or six times busting past seats on your way.
Not to mention the bint that sits behind you hacking and sniffing gunge in there throat blugh..
Baggage reclaim always boils my blood, yeah sure leave the kids burst through everyone to reclaim the 20kg bags they'l do the job alright.
Or the clueless mid 40s women "oh I think its that one" "Oh its not" Running commentary on the whole baggage cart.
Im sure there's loads more but its good to get that out.

If you consider the bullying of vulnerable people to be 'light entertainment', then you must have very low moral values indeed.

Its hardly bullying if she signed up for it, if anything its the fault of people who told her she could sing.

People in shops who don't know how to print out a receipt from the till.

Trying to buy Nurofen+ for my migraines.
For any pharmacists reading,you are just supposed to ask what it's for and maybe recommending something else(which don't work which is why I'm asking for Nurofen+)and not demanding a letter from doctor or refusing to sell them to me.
Being made to feel like I just asked for heroin isn't on.:mad:

Hardly, that woman clearly is one of our 'vulnerable' in society and I don't understand why anyone could find it funny to mock her. They vet every act before they get to that stage and yet they just keep putting her back on year after year because saddo's think it funny. :rolleyes:


Anyway....I hate when you are in bed, just about to nod off and then you need to go for a wee. Ye end up trying to ignore it but eventually you just have to give in and get bloody up and over the to toilet. Such a waste of precious sleep time.

Get some rubber sheets and don't worry about it.

Ah here, get off you're high horse, will you? My moral values are just grand, thanks.

How do you, or anyone else know the woman was 'vulnerable'? There are many eccentric people who audition for the show, doesn't mean they're mentally unstable! She gave as good as she got.

In fairness,she was told on previous occasions that her voice wasn't good enough, but she chose to come back of her own free will, no one forced her into doing anything.

Also, don't believe everything you read - according to people who were in the audience that day, the edit didn't show her having a laugh on stage with Gary, or him going backstage to check that she was alright. Read the comments under the article below from a couple of audience members who were actually there:

http://www.digitalspy.ie/tv/s103/the-x-factor/news/a341687/x-factor-gary-barlow-mocked-ceri-rees-in-cut-scenes.html

I can't believe how seriously some people take this show... It's just light entertainment!

Aside from "people posting on discussion fora giving out about things that annoy them", what annoys you?

For me, it has to be something I had long forgotten but rediscovered tonight: the people whom you meet in classes who monopolise the conversation to the extent of not allowing the lecturer/teacher, the person whose expertise you are paying to hear, to teach you and everybody else.

Everybody tries to be polite to them, but you can see the eyes being raised as time after time the same person interrupts to redirect the class to whatever flight of fancy he or she has taken. It is shameful than any adult with a smidgen of sensitivity or respect could be oblivious to their selfishness among a group of people.

Anyway, what annoys you?

Pizza faced lank haired 'students' who never paid a cent tax, telling me how to live my life and whom I should support and what fly-blown country is currently under threat from the US, Israel, Tesco , the UK,Saudi Arabia.

fcukers tilting at windmills, while John Q taxpayer bankrolls their existence.

I was gonna start a fresh thread, but sure one already exists.

My one is people who walk full speed around busy streets looking backwards or sideways.

Yea, well whiskey definitely helps. I developed a bad habit before of having a hot whiskey or or two every night after work to get to sleep though.

I've tried everything at this stage, eating well, exercising, no distractions before bed, not eating for hours before, showering directly before bed & using fresh sheets every few days. Just have to put up with it really.

Ok maybe that is what is keeping you awake.

I always hate the anxiety about insomnia you start to worry will you be able to get throuh the next day and that make the insomnia worse.

One or two is no harm though, many studies suggest a little alcohol every day is actually beneficial. I would definitely give my cocktail a go, knocks me out and I have insomnia quite frequently, like you.

I've never tried it, so I'll give it a go. Thanks man

I would empty the jails of rapists and peadophiles to make room for people that crash on the M50 can you be more inconsiderate. Your late for work and the crash twats have a good excuse as to what kept them.

How do you crash on the M50 like all the cars are going the same direction and moving, its not like town were everyone is stopping and starting and there are traffic lights.

They should be executed on the spot.
