Stuff that REALLY annoys you.

people who are is a queue of cars, see you crossing between them and roll up to the car in front bumper-to-bumper so you can't get through and give you a dirty look.

That's classic 'I'm having a shit day so you should too' behaviour.

In fact 'I'm having a shit day so you should too' style behaviour in general makes up a big chunk of my pet peeves if I think about it

The single person who tries to take up all four seats around a table on a train, especially as there are no other seats avalible and it seems i'm inconsiderate for asking them to move their bags.

Please, please I do not even use your shitty hassle-ware anymore, I only installed Real-something years ago and cannot be arsed to do a full Windows re-install to get rid of your crap.

Leave me alone!

Here's another few annoyances I need to get off my back:

Really fat people that nibble at their food when others are watching, or eat a salad at work. I get it, you pretend to be healthy and blame you obesity on you metabolism. But I know that you stuff your face the second you are at home. I always see several examples of this every bloody time I'm at work.

People at train stations that gather in crowds just outside the fucking doors, so that people trying to leave the train has to fight their way out.

People taking up two spaces on either trains or buses. Either they sit on the seat next to the central passage or they sit next to the window, but they place their bag or whatever on the second seat, ignoring any pleading looks from anyone showing the slightest interest in the space occupied by a bag.

Drivers who do not stop for me at zebra crossings, especially those who drive past with mobile phones in their hands.

Drivers who speed up when they see me on a Zebra crossing , because it's 'fun' to watch me leap out of the way.

Only when I'm in a hurry . . .

Oh there's soemthing worse than this, there is a way to force those trying to take focus to flash the taskbar but I've come to discover that something keeps switching it back off again.

Yes, like my g/f's sister - always complaining about being fat, saying she eats like Gillian McKeith. Then you look in her fridge-freezer, and it's stuffed full of shit like Southern Fries etc., and when she comes to our house, every last biscuit, cake or chocolate mysteriously disappears by the time she's gone

People who park their cars right across the front of your drive, leaving you no opportunity to get in or out, when they could easily have positioned it in between you and your neighbour's house.

+1 for dogshit on the pavement.

Scary weather predictions in the tabloids that inevitably turn out to be complete bullshit:

"OH NOES!! UR ALL GONNA DIE IN TEH WORST STORMS EVAH ON WEDNESDAY!!!"

/looks out of window at the trees standing perfectly still in the most gentle breeze imaginable

Not being able to order specific meal requirements on flights until 24 hours before, at which point you inevitably forget, being too busy getting ready.

You just reminded me - People who park their cars right across the pavement - half on a driveway/half over the pavement when, they could just park a foot or two back to leave the pavement clear.

Yes - especially when it's a busy road, and you're trying to manoeuvre a pushchair around it

Climb over it, making sure to leave dents in the roof.

Those damn bubbles in Windows that say inane crap like "You're connected to the 'whatever' wireless network" and won't go away until you acknowledge their existence. Google Browser Sync does this too.

I don't like people who block escalators. The whole point of a moving walkway is to get to your destination quicker, not to stand there and shuffle along at half walking speed.

I thought it was so you didn't have to walk.
