The absolute shithouses that sit in cafes and talk at the top of their voices on their phones to appear interesting.

Have to confess I did that once in London, but it was taking the pee.

Lots of that sort of waffle going on, on a train, so when my daughter rang me to say she had a bad sore throat (think she was about 11), I answered and went straight into full on global market/corporate mode.

'Hello. Oh, no. Really? Okay. What did Tokyo say? What about New York? Joburg? Right, get straight on to the Paris office immediately and tell all the heads I want a conference call with them in the next 30 minutes. What? I don't care, just sort it!'

I love Christmas.

What annoys me though is Christmas before it is Christmas.

Perfect example of it this morning in Asda. In there they have on display, on a 'Extra Special' range, promotional stand, buttercream mince pies, Christmas cake in the shape of a Christmas tree, yule log, a Christmas fruit cake wreath, salted caramel Christmas pudding and other stuff too.

None of it was freezable and everything on there had to be eaten before the 8th December. Most of it was by the end of November! Arggh!!!!

Lots of people looking at the products on there.

Very clever of the supermarkets to do this, because we humans are all so thick.

They are bringing Christmas to us early and no doubt loads of people who buy this stuff will eat it before the best before date and well before Christmas and then go out and buy the same stuff again actually For Christmas.

Irked me somewhat, that.

Think all the commercialism that abounds is just going to get worse and worse and soon we will have a practice Christmas Eve, a practice Christmas Day and a practice New Year.

I cannot see any point whatsoever in specifically targeted Christmas food being produced that has to be eaten well before Christmas.

Love it when this kind of thing fails.

Following on from the Christmas food before Christmas moan, I went back into Asda today and it seems like the British public have not fallen for this ridiculous campaign.

There was a display stand with all the yule logs reduced. ALL of them. I stopped counting after I got past 73. ;)

Serves them right. Just how many people are interested in purchasing and consuming an expensive Christmas yule log that has to be eaten before the end of November?

Fair play to Sainsbury's though, because when I was there yesterday all of their Christmas food of the same ilk had best before dates in January.

I bloody do, rich.

Never used to, but my mum has dementia and I have now started to take her everywhere and she insists on going to supermarkets two or three times a week, even if she only wants just a couple of things.

Doesn't matter if it's a tornado or nuclear war, she still wants to go.

Consider yourself lucky. Many old people insist on shopping every day. Also every item has to be a certain brand purchased from a certain shop at a certain price. Ask any home help.

People in the gym who don't wipe their sweat of the equipment.
People who take 5 minutes break inbetween sets, pritty much completed my whole routine while I waited for this arsehole earlier.
People who have cameras in their cars they're usually the worst drivers too.

People who put dumbells in blatantly the wrong places. People who reserve equipment merely by placing a water bottle there. Um, no mate.

I am talking about supermarkets. Not mentioned general town shopping, which I also do as well with her.

Parents that are dominated by their kids and give in to their every whim.

There's an incredibly spoilt child next door to us. He's two now.

The parents (Serbian) bend to his will and he gets everything he wants. So many screaming tantrums can be heard through our walls.

To top it all now, the wife is due to give birth to her second child very shortly.

The wife has just texted my wife and asked that if she is suddenly rushed to hospital to give birth and her husband isn't there, can we look after the boy for a few hours.

My wife said okay, but then the mum said that we will need to learn some Serbian so he will be able to understand us.

What? How about her teaching him some bleeding English! The parents have been over here now for several years and speak English just fine, but are apparently only teaching Serbian to the son.

She also went on to add that the boy is going to nursery next year and she has asked the nursery staff to learn some Serbian too. Damn cheek.

To top it all, she wants to gradually introduce her son to us by us keep popping round so he 'gets used to our faces'.

Bless him.

People who put folded-up wet umbrellas down on the floor instead of unfolding them to dry properly.
My daughter just did it. And to top it off, I tripped over it when I walked by in the dark.

She was sleeping on the couch, didn't want to wake her up.
Some of us are actually considerate.

Instead of "I'll go and get that" everyone is saying "I'll go get that" or whatever variance now. It's sickening how this shit is filtering into society and most teenagers basically sound American now.

"You're awesome dude! I hate assholes but you're so cool, I'll just go get my cawfee and we're good to go"

I think I say 'can I get' or 'can I have'.
Must not realise i'm doing it.

When I worked in a call centre, a bloke was moaning about people wishing him 'a nice day'.

Inadvertently, forgetting what we normaly say, i blurted out 'have a nice day' to him. He wasn't best pleased.

I know what doesn't annoy me. It's all companies and all brands all stating when their food is suitable for vegetarians and all marking it clearly on their packaging and all displaying it on the packaging in the same one place so you don't have to go searching all over the packet in order to find it.

Hats off to them all.

Another annoying one (I don't know if it's made its way to the UK yet), is instead of saying 'do something' they say 'go ahead and do something', the 'go ahead' being completely superfluous.

I have to use a Pure Gym sometimes and it’s full of posers, one of them reserved a bench during peak times by placing his nearly empty water bottle on it, but I could see him talking to another bellend for over 5 mins. I just threw it in the bin and told him I had no idea what he was on about :)

Loads of them get fixated by themselves in the mirror and stand their staring at themselves while doing their hair, it’s so weird
