    Fifteen people all dressed as a floating Yoda in Trafalgar Square at the same time.

    Oh, and people in general.

    And people who do this in a petrol station when there is only one person on the till and I just want to pay for my petrol.

    People who think that a petrol station, or any chain of coffee shops -Nero, Costa, Starbucks etc etc - is an appropriate place to buy a decent cup of coffee. In other words, people who think they like coffee but don't know what it is because they've only ever drunk it out of a paper bucket.

    Company chief executives who go on about the company's mission to serve it's customers when they really mean shareholders. Just don't think we are all stupid ok?

    Faith schools (sorry, you asked....)

    Expensive supermarkets (yes that's you Waitrose) where even in the butchers section say they don't have any rib of beef. When you really fancy some rib of beef.

    Joggers who rush up behind you when walking the dog, causing dog to jump and bark, then shout at you from across the road to keep your dog under control, then run away when you cross the road to continue the conversation. Stan's a cockerpoo ffs.

    Cyclists aged over 10 who ride on the pavement, get aggressive when you point out their options are to ride on the road (which they can't do because they have no lights, not that I point that out, it's their risk) or push the bike on the pavement. Then cycle away double quick when I move closer to continue the conversation

    Pubs 100 yards from my house which are decent but insist on storing their massive wheelie bins on the pavement because they have no off road space. Though it does provide me an easy alternative to recycling (see below)

    Awards for acting. Especially acting in films where you have infinite chances to get it right and don't even need to learn your lines. Come on, really?

    Shrink wrapped cheese. Just **** off.

    Pointless and excessive packaging that I have to 'recycle' when we all know it just goes to landfill.

    Deep breaths and more wine.........

    Fair play, no argument there, being a keen cyclist myself here is one for us lot. I can't stand militant pedestrians who give me the death stare when I'm riding on a pavement that has clear signs saying pedestrians and cyclists allowed.

    I just hate customers at supermarkets who are in front of you in the check out queue. They have just had all their stuff scanned on the till and oh they'v forgotten something and spend three minutes going to the back of the supermarket to go get the forgotten item.

    FFS, make a shopping list you morons please!

    Okay here goes...

    English rugger buggers who I work with who sing "swing low sweet charaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrriot" every time I walk in the room
    Administrators who cannot do their job right, but insist in telling me how to do mine
    Joey Barton
    Animals caged in pet shops
    Money grabbing NHS administrators that do not consider that the patient comes first.
    Old people that push to the front of the bus queue because they are old
    Last minute goals against us (but obviously not for us)
    NHS administrators.
    Non-chocolate sweets in a cinemas "pick and mix"...who wants them!
    Adverts in films on ITV
    Queenslander
    Administrators who work in a hospital
    My weighing scales (don't they know how to work correctly, why do they insist on telling the truth)
    Cold callers on the telephone, who tell me that they can tell my computer is being attacked by viruses..and they can help...do I sound THAT naive!
    Jim Davidson
    Cirencester...have you ever been there?
    Having to pay 30p to use the ladies toilet at Marylebone
    Have I mentioned administrators, especially HR administrators....really they are more than just a minor irritation...

    Actually it's not the people who drink that stuff who are irritating, but those crooks who peddle warm, brown, milky water stuffed with unnatural flavours as 'coffee'. If they branded themselves as "Costa Warm Brown Milky Water' or 'Warm Brown Milky Water Nero' I would be very forgiving.

    [QUOTE="men over the age of 13 who use lol and smiley faces.[/QUOTE]

    What's the alternative then? Should I put "That was rather funny that was" or "I laughed out rather loud" etc...

    I used to (briefly, 20 years ago) be a hospital administrator. What's a patient?

    EXACTLY...

    Definition of a patient:-
    A patient is an inconvenience that get in the way of the smooth working of a hospital. If it weren't for the said patient the NHS wouldn't be in the trouble it is in.

    Unlike the US where patients are treated efficiently, quickly and with respect. (Money Talks)

    On the subject of coffee from the high street coffee shops, I do wish they'd just have large, medium and small sizes. If I go into Costa and ask for a medium, they'll say "is that a regular?", and then I'll ask for a regular in Caffe Nero only to be told that they only do medium.

    A new coffee shop opened in my neighbouring town a few months ago into which I asked for "a regular or medium, whatever your terminology is, please". The barista responded by informing me that they didn't do either of those, but could offer me a "big or extra-big" instead. Yes, really.

    I'm also hacked off by just about every shop doing its own loyalty card scheme. Just how large do they think our flipping wallets are to carry all this ****?

    I don't like these shops that try and guilt you into donating to charity either. TK Maxx is supporting Comic Relief and their staff are asking every customer at the tills whether they'd like to donate a pound to Comic Relief as part of their overall charge. Well no, I wouldn't actually.

    I'm also really annoyed that I woke up this morning and didn't find myself the filling in a Mila Kunis/Scarlett Johanssen sandwich.

    Oh, and people in general.
