    Online sites that won't accept laser cards! Most annoying thing when I don't have a credit card and my O2 card is empty. Why not just take it ffs?!

    What are Zombie Shakespeare, Zombie Einstein and Zombie George Washington even doing in Springfield Elementary?

    I can't help but entertain this thought every time I watch it...

    Having to go out and "move the cars". Picture the scene. 2 cars in a driveway. Car A is jammed up against the garage door and needs to get out onto the road but is block by car B. So I have to reverse car B out onto the road, then reverse car A out onto road, then put car B back in the driveway.

    Ugh, such a waste of my life.

    People mixing up then and than - this isn't a difficult one to get wrong and yet so many people do it - I wonder if they are doing it on purpose to annoy me?

    The person in front of you in a shop queue - who looks totally bewildered when the cashier asks for payment - and then starts searching for purse and takes an age to find it.

    Change to a bank with Visa Debit cards. Laser has always been a piece of sh*t system.

    When people laugh after saying something that is funny (or meant to be funny) - it's that sort of nervous laughing.

    When people think that just because they have their hazard lights on they can pull in wherever they want. Have come across two cars in the last few days that had pulled in to take phone calls in a genuinely dangerous spot (just after a bend or corner). It's just stupidity. Taxis doing it drives me mad but at least they have a little bit more of an excuse.

    Ok, you might this a little strange, but it irks me when I'm queuing (doesn't matter for what, but especially in airports) and I can see the person behind me edging out as though they are going to skip the queue at the first sign of any movement in the queue. I feel like saying, stay in line dude or we WILL tangle!

    but incredibly, they also leave their cars running, just get into the car, drive it around the corner, go back into the shop and ask ..."jesus i hope none of ye own that rover that was just nicked ".......

    Worse- people who stand in front of you- then stay in the same spot when the queue moves on. I was in a train station last month and this woman with a buggy was too busy texting to cup the queue had moved on and she was next, and even though man called next she was too busy with her phone, so i walked ahead of her.She spotted that though:D

    Irish people who support Celtic because of their Catholic origins and a protestant in origin club like Liverpool because they were successful in the 80s, I know Celtic sang you never walk alone in honour of the Hilsborough disaster, just dont like the hypocrisy of these people claiming that Rangers are protestant c'#ts and up Celtic.

    On my daily drive to work my favourite radio station cuts in and out at the same point in the road, only does it for 10 seconds till i get past a hill. Really trivial, but bugs me every day.

    I drive over Ballnascorney every morning and at the same point on the road newstalk gets cut out for some dance station for only a few seconds. Drives me mental!

    I do that, I have supported Man Utd since I was 5, I am a member of the supporters club, I go over every year so I feel entitled to say we.

    Feel the same way with Munster and Limerick GAA and Soccer

    People using butter in a tub, but they dont take the foil completely off, they just fold it back to get at the butter.

    Basins in sinks. What's the point?

    Hot and cold taps. Hot water is scalding hot, cold water is ice cold. If only there was some strange tap that could share the same spout so the water mixes to a usable temperature

    What about those that do it with German, Spanish, Italian etc... Are they in the same boat or is it of particular grief if it's an English club?
