Silly little pet hates?
57 Answers
Well, what are they? Mine are newsreaders who attempt to come out with a funny little quip at the end of the news - just read the damn news. People who use the words 'proactive' and 'synergy'. And probably my biggest - the fact that politicians are incapable of giving a yes or no answer.

Think I'll add to my own question;
Jade Goody.
People driving their kids to school when they don't need to.
Nadia out of BB5 - very irritating voice and laugh.
People who pull out of a side road causing you to slow down, and then they don't accelarate.
When I'm on my motorbike in a line of traffic, people seeing me in their side mirrors and then drifing out to make it harder to pass.
Jade Goody.
People who wander aimlessly around the supermarket getting in my way.
Women who take forever finding their purse in the mammoth handbags at supermarket checkouts, once all the shopping has been scanned. And then take forever putting the damn thing back.
Old people who go shopping at the weekend.
Chavs.
Chavs.
Chavs.
Chavs.
Jehovas Witnesses - this is a cult, not a religion.
Charles De Gaulle - "people of Paris, you have liberated yourselves" - yeah, right.
The Howard League for Penal Reform - bleeding heart liberals the lot of 'em.
The little pikey Fred Barras for causing Tony Martin to shoot him - unpopular, but so what, if the little **** wasn't there he would not have been shot. Tony Martin has saved us hundreds of thousands in terms of prison costs, because the pond life would have been in and out of jail for the rest of his life.
Jade Goody.
Diane Abbott.
Mandy Madellson.
Tony B.Liar.
Prescott.
In fact the whole party - out sleazing the tories.
And finally, Jade Goody. It is a sad indicment on society that she is now rich and famous.
Haha. Definitely the girl in the 'yes' car adverts! Also the 'it's only a commercial' advert. Quite a lot of adverts actually!!
-People butting in when you're speaking.
-The loud, scary noise of a sudden jet zooming past/ Motorbike zooming past, Hoover being switched on.
-Being poked in the ribs.
-People breathing on me.
To add to my small grammatical pet hates I have to say "ditto" to scubaboy's additions, with the exception of the motorbike one because I don't have one. I have to also add inappropriate use of apostrophes and people who do not give tips in restaurants when they received good service "because they should be grateful I'm here at all". The way my PC or the email server always crashes when I've almost finished a long, unsaved, email drives me to distraction as well.
My BIG pet hate....
You know the bit where you've just watched a brilliant film or tv programme and the music starts at the end to finish it off and some git does a bl**dy voice-over to tell you what's on next. I'm getting all wound up just typing this about it, God I hate it so much! It's like reading a book and someone has scribbled on the last page totally spoiling it. Classic example, Saving Private Ryan, fantastic film, beautiful story, enchanting music, and what do they do at the end, turn the music down and prattle on about a programme that's on a week later. What's the flippin' point eh! If any tv voice-over people are reading this GET REAL, LEAVE IT ALONE, IT'S BETTER WITHOUT YOU!!!
Sorry got a bit carried away there!

wow,bernardo, you must be really annoyed all the time..
I on the other hand have just a few, when your running late and your not moving anywhere, waiting, this involves every form of transport including walking because of other people, waiting for lifts etc, that really gets me, COlin and Justin - who the hell do they think they are 'how not to decorate'did you see some of the **** they did in their early years on tv about 2 or 3 years ago, their voices, clothes, phrases, characters aaahh get them off my tv, and on top of that the Guardian recommended it as one to watch so my faith in that area is wavering.
but the most annoying thing is people who finish your sentences, not the ones who are actually helpful and know where your going, that's fine, but the ones that sit there and nod as you speak and then mimick the last word you said, so that they actually feel like their getting it and that they are involved in the conversation even though their too dossy or stupid to have their own opinion on something.
i typed a crappy message before which has totally narked me off! List continues:
People who sniff continuously all day rather than blow their bloody noses once!
That really irritating Shockwaves advert- who the hell wears their hair like that?
People who don't know you calling you Petal, Dear, Sunshine etc.
When someone walks off or hangs up when you're not done speaking to them.
Give me a few days and i will return with many more to add!
