What annoys you (lighthearted or otherwise)

I sent an email to my boss asking to discuss my return to work. I didn't even get an acknowledgement. So rude. So I got to thinking about what annoys me. Here goes:
Letters that are sent by professionals with spelling mistakes.
Drivers who think my driveway is a turning point
People who do not return phone calls
Obviously my boss
Large flies that like to dive bomb me
The latest thing with cars where they backfire.
Fireworks for everyone to use whenever.
Cigarette smoke in my face
My jeans when they are too tight
That goes for my bras too
And going to get the last bar of chocolate and its gone.

Have you got things that annoy you?

People who engage in a messenger conversation, then disappear half way through.
People who don’t indicate, cars, bikes.
Repetitive fb adverts.
My body, for reminding me I’m ageing...

Not much tbh
?although....guests who are always late by half an hour or more for no good reason.
Almost any tv advert
Jeremy Vine ( in any programme)
Lord Lemongrove pointing out kindly that I have stacked the dishwasher wrongly ( but he has sorted it out)
Discovering we have run out of tonic for the gin
( that will do for now)

Weather forecasters and news reports which talk of “warm” weather when it’s 30 and then say it’s been the ‘warmest” on record.
Warm means less than hot. It goes Cold, Warm, Hot.
The highest temperature ever is HOT, not warm.
It’s been very hot lately, not very warm.
How hot does it have to be for you to use the H word? How about the fires of Hell? Nicely warm?
Rant over, I’m too hot.

The police - I think they’ve forgotten what their actual role is -

People who don't take care of the environment in spite of all the bad news about the future
Speedboats
Litter
Dogs on beaches

Two faced people. Smoking, litter, rudeness, arrogance, people that swear on every sentence, dogmess left behind not much else

Spelling mistakes on public notices trowser repairs
Flaky people

Bad manners
Those who like to talk about themselves but never reciprocate by asking anything about you
Swearing as standard in most sentences
People who think 'have' is pronounced 'of'. i.e. "I should of known "
People who only criticise and never support

Yes, puzzler61 I agree people who are negative all time, now that annoys me.

Dropping pegs when I am attempting to peg an item to a washing line ... grrrrrrrr
