Things that (sometimes unreasonably) get on your nerves...hopefully lighthearted

Well of course the preceding thread would be one, people who don't pause for breath and make the conversation all about them. Worse still one dimensional conversations that are doggedly about the same subject change the bloody record I'm often thinking!

Yes people who talk loudly into their phone, are they deaf? Or do they simply don't care that everyone else has to listen to their business.

Sloppy writing in novels where the author can’t be bothered to research his settings, characters, time lines etc. Once spotted I can’t read on.

The Passengers by John Marrs was so full plot holes and errors I had steam coming out of my ears. I was astounded that the rest of the book group could just ignore them and enjoy a as a rattling yarn.

I saw nothing but contempt for his readers.

I really get unreasonably irritated by people who talk loudly on their phones or even have the phone on speaker whilst on public transport or in a cafe etc.
