The abundance of trailers and ads at the start of Children's DVDs. (usually Disney/Pixar)

When you've bought the official, non-ex-rental, DVD it should just cut to the main menu ASAP. Instead you have to sit there with the remote, pummeling the Skip button to get past the trailers (the Menu button is disabled during this process of course :mad:).

I hate it when deli's automatically cut your roll in half for you. I lost a good half a roll a couple of times for this. If i want a roll its because I'm eating it on the go, usually walking. Really pisses me off

x Factor

But I think it's exploitative so maybe not so trivial

Costa coffee and I think Starbucks charging 30 cents extra for having coffee "here" and not " to go " -- p**** off

When you get a coffee and a scone somewhere and a couple of mini butters and a jam for say €3.50 , then the sales assistant checking the number of butters and jams and racking up extra 20 and 30 cents all over the place and you end up paying € 4. 20 ----p**** off as well !

iphone autocorrect so annoying but i don't want to turn it off sometimes it's useful other times just very frustrating.

A person I know whacks the spoon off their teeth when getting the last bit of yoghurt out of the container..drives me insane!!

When people walk side by side and take up a full path and walk about 0.0000000000005KM/H or stop in the centre of the footpath and waffling away about little mikeys new shoes

I don't know if this will be of any use to you, but there are ways to make iOS predictive text more efficient for you -

http://www.macworld.com/article/2031004/how-to-make-ios-autocorrect-work-for-you.html

(Somewhat amusing how when typing the word "efficient" there, the first word that came up due to predictive text was "deficient"...)

I used have a Motorola V3x about ten years back, a phone way ahead of it's time. Not only would it predict words, but whole bloody sentences, and paragraphs if it detected a similar pattern of words! It was a bit like Clippy, the Office Assistant everybody loved to hate, only far more useful!

When young pikeys are playing crappy music on their phones on a bus or train

When there are so many un-popped corn seeds in my microwave popcorn bag. Hate it, what a waste!

Eating something delish and crunching down on the inside of yer cheek or that little bit on the inside side part of your mouth. ...I destroys the scrumptious satisfaction of the moment.....and then your reminded of the painful bastard every mealtime for two days after as you continuously accidently try to consume the inside of your mouth!!!! Oh the whincing pain of it all!!!! And everybody at the table pulls one of those silly pain smiles as they all silently remember the suffering!!! What a ba**ard!!!

I hate when I'm waiting for a tv show to start and the person with the remote starts flicking channels resulting in me missing the start of the show.

Excessive use of exclamation marks.

My trivial annoyance isn't due to the spelling, it's the americanisation of calling it math instead of maths.
