Drivers who look the wrong way when pulling out of a junction instead of the direction the immediate danger is coming from.
 
People (and it's nearly always women) who get to the counter in a shop and, when asked to pay, start hunting around for something with which to pay.

Oh, and people who walk too slowly.

This is my pet hate - especially if its preceded by 10 minutes waiting in a queue - why the sudden suprise you might need to pay. (c.f. also queuing through tube barriers; followed by "open handbag, open inner compartment of handbag, open zip, get out purse, open outer purse compartment, open inner purse compartment, open zip within inner purse compartment, retrieve oyster card, try and use oyster five times before realising it needs a top up").

People who drive with their fog lights on when it isn't foggy!! Middle lane hoggers on motorways. Keep left unless you are overtaking FFS!!! Effectively turning a 3 lane road into two. F*ck off and die!!!

There should be no punishment for road rage caused by this. Anyone doing under 85 in the right lane or just sitting there plodding at 65 in the middle lane when there's no one to the left needs to be hanged.

Lorry drivers overtaking other lorry drivers at busy times too. Should be punishable by firing squad.

The A1 between Newark and the M62 both north and southbound is a f*cking breeding ground for these arseholes. There you are, bowling along at 75mph and one of these twats pulls across in front of you, struggles to achieve the 1mph which will see him overtake the 16 wheeler he was previously behind, attempts said overtake for 30 miles and then pulls back in behind the bloody thing because both are limited to 56mph. Meanwhile, a queue of biblical proportions has built up!!! B*stards!!!!

Ticket barriers which don't open when you put your ticket in even though there is nothing wrong with it;
and
People behind you who tut when the above happens to you because you have delayed them by 10 seconds.;
and
People who board trains and tubes before passengers who are getting off have done so.

That is automation for automation's sake!! Completely unnecessary. I despise the bloody things. Luckily, I rarely travel by tube. Crammed in like sardines in an electric worm. Forced to mix with the great unwashed. Cattle are permitted more space on the way to the abattoir! Some of these people have NO hygiene regimen. Yuk!! Everybody MUST get the first available train, even though there will be another one along in less than 2 minutes. How busy can you be?
 
People who think "little eats" are "a bit moreish".

People who tell others to "chillax" or take a "chill pill".

People who say "we are where we are" when we could've avoided being where we are had they only listened to advice.

People too much on 'transmit' and seldom on 'receive'.

Managers that expect you to be available 24/7 even if you're on holiday or it's the weekend.

Other motorists that do something wrong and yet gesticulate aggressively at you through the window when you dare honk your horn to avert an accident.

Lazy teachers that can only spare you 5 minutes at parents' evening, then can't remember your child's name. Parents with fat arses that insist on 20 minutes to discuss Tarquin or Jocasta's progress thus taking your time slot. ****ing fat-arsed cow - you know who you are!

Reality shows.

People becoming famous simply because of their appearance on reality shows despite any discernible talent.

Paddy McGuinness and that God-awful 'no lighty, no likey' show. I had the misfortune of seeing one recently when he said,"let the super see the injunction" and the audience collectively howled with laughter and wet themselves en masse.
 
I'm sure I read a few months ago that new laws were being brought in re. middle lane hoggers. It was probably to distract people from something more important.

People who reply to ANY question prefacing the answer with the word 'So'! EG: Where have you been today? So, I went to the shops................... Why the 'SO'> Makes them sound like a right tit!

People who speed in the cul de sac in which I live. I am awaiting a Tony Adamsesque pile up. There is one particular arsehole that I am PRAYING will bin his crappy motor soon which will give the opportunity to laugh at his twitching body as he removes himself from the gene pool.

Lorry drivers sleeping in lay byes like a bunch of pikeys!! Pissing and ****ting all over the place.

You'd be amazed at the amount of people that think a motorway comprises of a slow, medium and fast lane.
People who can't pronounce 'H' properly.
 
On-coming motorists who fail to give way when the parked car is on their side of the road and then get angry when you complain.
