My examples ( not exhaustive ) are :-

- When I'm driving and I let another driver pull out from a junction ,and he/she does not acknowlege my kindness

- When I'm driving and meet another driver coming in the opposite direction - I pull over to let them pass because there isn't enough room - which they do without acknowleging my kindness

- Holding a door for someone who is walking behind me ( sometimes yards behind ) - and they dont say thank you

Not exhaustive....

Some numptey ramming a shopping trolley in my ankle this morning.

Ignorance and intolerence

Judgemental attitudes

Pontificactors

Strangers who talk to me at bus stops depite me having my head burried in a book and music blasting in to my ears.
I get swim rage.

Those swimmers who do the crawl really fast and never move out the way when passing, its always me

Women swimmers who go together and chat and take up a disproportionate amount of pool

Those swimmers who use (in my head I have designated one changing room as mine) my changing room

Those people who don't have obssesive/compulsive and irrational behaviours
-People who cannot speak properly - i.e. saying 'arks' instead of 'ask' and 'pacifically' instead of 'specifically'.

-People who, when you hold a door open for them (and there is someone behind them) simply walk through it rather than holding it for the next person - which means you have to stand there like an lemon waiting for the next person OR let it go in their faces.

-People who make life deliberately difficult for themselves and then winge about it all day.

Oh, did you only want one example!? =)
People at the speedbank who insist on getting what feels like a 10 page statement AND then drawing money out the bank, and then doing gawd knows what else there too. There's a reason why it's called a speedbank, just get some dosh and sod off- especially whe im stood behind you!

I despise bad manners, for instance traders on eBay who wait for you to leave feedback before they will.
I work with the public and I won't suffer people who don't say please (or some sort of acknowledgement) when they ask for something. I'm pleased to say that it actually does'nt happen that often, on an average week I'll deal with between 1200 and 2000 people I doubt I've had that row more than 5 times in a week. Children by and large I find to be very polite.
Oops I forgot you want things that annoy you :-)

Ruby27 - I take it you have obssesive / compulsive / irrational behaviours ?

Care to say what they are ?
I'm intrigued .

Lack of respect and manners
People who say you have to earn respect.

I treat everyone with respect, the only thing that can then happen is they lose it.
I always make a bee line for one particular Tescos check out girl lol
She's such a delight.
Quickly!!!! I must swipe all the objects faster and faster!!!!
Oh dear.
I cannot seem to open these bags again I'm so on a go slow. Dammit. I've now got a pile of unopened plastic things and an even bigger pile of swiped foody bits...
Would you open some bags for me please I smile sweetly...
I just love her scowly face.....

I can now pack.

Slowly!!!! ;D
Oooh far too many things to mention!

- People who use mobile phones when driving.

- The silly bint who was applying her make-up whilst driving behind me this morning. Creeping ever so slowly towards the back of my car, whilst looking into the rearview mirror the whole time.

- Old people with no manners, I agree with wizard entirely!

- People who drop litter.

- People who create roadkill. I'd be heartbroken if I ever hit an animal.

- I agree with the general consensus, when people do not acknowledge when you let them out wilst driving, or when you hold doors open for them. I tend to mutter under my breath 'your welcome!' when the BU double G ER's do this!

I'm beginning to sound like a sour old cow! I'll stop now. Monday morning blues!
People at Tescc Petrol Station who insist on going inside to pay by card when they should be using the 'pay at pump'
Drivers who signal they are about to turn just as they turn. I want to shout 'I know now'.
Drivers who don't bloody well signal at all!
Question Author
Drivers who do not adhere to the speed limit ( especially in built up areas ) and insist on driving inches from by back bumper .

What do they think the speed limit is there for
People who have something against China Dolls.
People who hold their knife like a pen. Really really gets on my tits.
