Pet hate thread

Just in one of those moods today - let's hear about what things annoy you at the moment -
For myself -

1) 'Youths' walking around with music playing via loudspeaker on their mobile phones - why bother?
2) Cyclists cycling on the pavement
3) People pressing the button on a pedestrian crossing repeatedly in the hope that will speed things up (and also the same behaviour for lifts)
4) People NOT pressing the button on a pedestrian crossing in the hope that for some reason the green man will appear.
5) Having to wait 30mins+ to get through to Flying Club
6) Not being able to search for L/S fares online

There are many others!

1. The Daily Mail
2. Journalists using the words "fury", "rage" and "beleaguered"
3. John Humphrys
4. People who park in "mother and child" spaces yet have no child to hand
5. People who can't be arsed to walk an extra fifty feet at the station and block exits in the cark park
6. Motorists who drive with their fog lights on in the rain
7. The M25
8. Gillian bl**dy McKeith
9. Jeremy Clarkson
10. Wailing wannabees on Pop Idol and the like
11. 24 hour rolling "news"

1. Big Brother
2. Big Brother
3. Big Brother
4. Big Brother

3. US news reporters who just repeat bad news 24/7 - or just the bad parts of good news
4. Fake celebs who seem to have taken over the media
5. Very loud music being played in the car next to you - so loud yours vibrates as you're stuck next to them on the freeway rush-hour stop-and-no-go
6. People who have been on another planet and still don't know what to do when faced with security screenings at an airport (see #2)
7. People who get on a long-haul flight drenched in the most obnoxious perfume and complain to their traveling companion that there seem to be several other travelers who were inconsiderate and flew while sick - oh, did we have killer flu or SARS? (Coughing? Hacking? Sick? Us? No, we're not sick, just asphyxiating from your smelly self!)
8. I love kimchee, but on flights to Asia, please don't bring your own very smelly homemade version as a snack! We had to smell it for hours. I hate that!
9. Losing my train of thought... oh, what was I typing about? (thanks, GJ) [:p]

Conformity
The overuse of "actually," "like," "literally," "basically" and saying could/would/should "of" instead of "have"[xx(][V]

VS.

Then go to a burger bar that advertises them without... [:p]

Burger King : "Have it your way".
Restaurant : "How would you like it cooked, sir?
McDonalds : For god's sake, have it the way the picture is...
