What did you expect? This is the moaning thread. The happy thread is here.

2) Number two is expecting some gadget that ive ordered to be delivered and then finding out its going to be one more day! If its expected on a saturday and I have to wait til monday its even worse.
3) Impatient people
Do you hate yourself? 
Many many things, but mostly drivers who treat cyclists as a nuisance. The ones that just don't see me or misjudge gaps simply frighten me, the anger comes later.

Do you stop at traffic lights, ride in cycles and not on the pavement?
Some cyclists can be a nightmare for drivers: riding two or three abreast on narrow roads... I'm not suggesting you are anything but a model cyclist, however! 
northantsbloke34:people who do not que at slip roads and think its their right to jump in right at the last minute.
Are you talking about motorway sliproads (or even dual carriageway)? I hope you're not suggesting that people should be queuing, stationary, to come onto a motorway because that's just about the most dangerous thing you could possibly do in a car (assuming normal motorway speeds are being adhered to and not in a traffic jam situation)! You should be getting yourself up to a speed matching those travelling in the driving lane of the motorway and merging in a controlled manner, with the drivers on the motorway doing the courteous thing and letting you in sensibly.
Incidentally when a lane is closed on a motorway and drivers are required to merge into another lane it's actually MORE efficient for drivers to use the full extent of the closed lane, rather than try to merge in too early, traffic will flow faster if the full extent of the closed lane is used, just thought I'd mention it before anyone moans about that.
For myself what annoys me is not having anything to contribute to the "Where's your favourite spot of Earth?" thread, I simply haven't experienced enough of it to make a judgement but I haven't been struck to the point of awe by anywhere yet. Or if I have I can't remember it, which rather suggests I haven't.
The fact that I read so quickly annoys me, as it means I have to wait longer than everyone else before the next book in whatever series I've been reading comes out, knocked off the latest Iain M. Banks over the weekend, so now that's a good couple of years before the next one turns up.
Oh, and people who use bold for no apparent reason.
people out riding horses on the road that dont salute me when i slow right down, and drive past as far away from the animal as possible, thats annoying...
May I add one ...
I live in a generally nice place on the southcoast the odd place or misfits apart but there's an estate ...
... a place where even dogs are afraid to urinate in the streets for fear of reprisals, where they usually don't bother replacing broken bus shelter glass and the local shops have no windows.
A place where patrolling police hold each others hands during the day and won't come closer than the one mile exclusion zone at night. A place where the average life span of a house pet probably doesn't exceed the time it takes a todler to learn how to operate a microwave and were every second 14 year old pushes a twin baby pram.
A place where instead of spy glasses frontdoors have 15" shotgun holes and where wearing a hoodie is considered being overdressed.
Perhaps I have exaggerated a tiny little bit but it's bad, you get my drift.
Now all the above I could live with and wouldn't annoy me to much if they'd walled the place in but ...
it's been built in an area of outstanding beauty, close to poole harbour and a wild life heaven unless they've eaten all of it. Why do they always have to build these council estates in the most beautiful spots??
northantsbloke34:Car stereo's so loud that we all have to listen
What about personal stereos so loud you can hear whats being played. Or actually worse than that. When did it become acceptable to play music from your phones speaker in the street/on the train/on the bus for all to hear? I really hate that, total disregard for others.

Thats an easy one to fix though surely?
Sensationalist and moronic reporting. Watching today about an aid worker killed in Afghanistan. It was reported the parents were "deeply upset" (I may be paraphrasing slightly). Really? Were they not chuffed to bits? Were they not mildly irritated?
Overuse of the word 'Sensational'. Adverts for films or albums throw it around with gay abandon. It's funny, as the more they spout how 'sensational' something is, the more likely I am to discover it's as far from 'sensational' as you can get. Try using "Mediocre" and "Banal" if you actually want to try to squeeze a little truth into your reviews.
The word "Community" (saying it doesn't make it so), I'm looking at you BBC London.
TV Reality/Talent shows, or any show where the public have to vote at the end.
People in general but moreso people who just settle for stuff. Have an opinion, I don't care if it's different from mine, just have an opinion!!
I hate that I feel hate toward the rest of the world and everything I hear or see in it. OK, may be a bit strong, but I do despair. Perhaps I just have an over-inflated view of my own self-importance.
