    People who try and bully you to move over at speed on the motorway, even though you are doing 70. Seriously, pull over and I will fuck you up.

    Also, people who stand next to the button and don't bother pressing it, so you have to either ask them to press it or get out of your way so you can do it for them. Worse though are the sheep at pedestrian crossings who immediately follow some chancer across the road, even though the lights are still red and there's traffic coming.

    @Goodfella Haha it's either that or walking up to 20 people stood at the lights and noone has pressed the button - I always feel like I should get an apology and thankyou of everyone when I press it.

    Also on the pressing/not pressing buttons theme, people who spaz out with train doors and hammer the button until it eventually works when the light comes on.

    People who sit sideways on the seat in front of you on a bus.

    You stupid prick. It doesn't look cool and I have to sit with you in my personal space, and me in your peripheral vision for the entire, miserable journey.

    @sajasanman it's not always possible to pull over immediately anyway.

    Yup. And people who don't stand to let you in or out of the window seat on buses but merely shift their legs to one side. Raaaaaaah!

    And people who constantly post pictures of their latest shitty kitchen concoction to Facebook using Instagram.

    I work with someone who is the most nosiest eater (as he is partially deaf) you can't say anything. its the most sickening crunch when eating apples or chomps on chewing gun. Its physiological warfare working near him

    Also morons on the dual carriage way who think you either do 45mph or do 80 to 90mph because they are bunch of thick skulled window lickers

    Most men in China eat as loud as they can. The slurping when drinking soups really makes me cringe. Also burping at the table FFS!

    Although here I am the rude one for eating quitely! They must all think I am an ignorant pig.

    I hate those instagram food photos, making everything look like a bowl of vomit accompanied by #food #lunch #nom #tasty #outdoors #friends #drinking #sun. Also that general thing of sticking in as many vaguely related hashtags as possible.

    Following people on a twisty A road with a 60 limit that do about 38 all the way. Then it turns into a 30 limit and they continue to do 38 as if they've suddenly become so great at driving they can completely ignore speed limits.

    When people use the word literally without knowing what it means. It has got to be one of the most misused words ever.

    "This is taking literally forever to download!"

    "He has been skipping classes all year. He's literally screwed!"

    "I'm literally dying of laughter!"

    Anyone who ever uses hashtags should be banned from using a keyboard.

    Ooh, didn't know that. I find shifting my legs a simple one-two operation, while standing out of the way requires me to get up, move my outside leg into the aisle, try to move my inside leg but catch the heel on the leg of the seat, then do it properly, then shuffle round. The leg shift is just a lot quicker, but if it annoys you I'll bear that in mind.

    Guy behind me at work is like that, incredibly irritating.

    He also tends to make all sorts of pointless noises which crescendos as the day progresses.
    Whistling between his teeth, proper whistling, smacking (yes, even when not eating), mouth popping noises, the whole shebang.
    And he tends to properly hit keys on his keyboard too; as in an actual loud bang. Finally, he needs to reposition his mouse 20 times per minute at times for some reason, slapping it against his desk's surface each time.

    Thank goodness for headphones.

    Maybe he has ADHD and those small habits are his way of releasing the pent up energy? Or is he just an annoying dick?

    Old women at checkout counters. They get to the counter while waiting for their food to scan and wait until the very last moment to open their bag, open their purse and spend half the fucking day looking for their money. I get their, have my money ready, get my change back and the whole ordeal is over for me...

    People who can't use or take ages to use self service machines in supermarkets/shops. Its not rocket science but they act like a caveman trying to operate a space shuttle. By law the shop workers should be allowed to smack their head against the screen while shouting "you press the cash button to pay by cash not phone a fucking friend to ask what to do next"

    Must admit, it took me ages to spot the 'pay by cash' button on one of those machines the first time I used it. Very peculiar, cos it was pretty big and bright yellow, but I reckon they've found a place to put it that's just in my blind spot. Between that and unexpecting cunting items in the fucking bagging area I'll usually use an alternative till if I can.

    People spending ages at ATMs annoys me. (Quite tolerant of self scan slowness though).

    Glad I'm not the only one to be bothered by it then! I think I'd find your work colleague extremely annoying too. How can they not know they make so many stupid noises with their mouth?! I mimicked the person I know who does it, and she noticed straight away I was doing something unusual and got all tense and angry. If I copied her 'tut' for 'tut', maybe she'd understand why it's so fucking annoying!
