Burnt Yorkshire puddings when you go out for Sunday lunch.
We only ever go out for Sunday roast when we have to, and until this year we had not done it for about five years, probably longer. Three times we have been out since February and on two occasions, at supposedly upmarket restaurants we have had Yorkshires that were burnt on top.
I've learnt the hard way but I very very rarely have a roast dinner outside of my home. it's always disappointing and so overpriced. if the yorkshires are great, the meat is usually tough, if the potatoes are great, the veg is often boiled to slop. £13 - £18 these days. I'd rather have a burger in the pub and cook my own roast.
Having said the above, I did have a roast dinner yesterday in a pub in Lamberhurst. they'd sold out of roast lamb (by 3pm!!) but were serving the lamb rump from the mains menu with the roast trimmings. It was about £17 and was nice, if overpriced and the yorkshire was v disappointing.

Sky and BT Sport showing replays while the game is going on. Also endless shots of managers, fans, subs, celebs in the crowd also while the ball is in play.
Use the half time break to discuss these nothing incidents.

I pay enough, I want to see all the game live.
Especially annoying when you can hear the live crowd in the background...
i.e. they're showing a boring replay and you can hear the crowd getting passionate about something that is actually happening... Stop showing the latter and show me what the crowd are getting annoyed / excited about.
Pointless conversations. For example, where a brief hello / good morning exchange with a passing neighbour or work colleague would suffice, but being forced to go through the painful "how are you / not too bad , how about you / I'm fine / good good " nonsense, lots of pointless meaningless words where a simple hello would do. Also "good good" as an expression, very annoying in itself.
- Did you have a nice weekend?
- Yes lovely thanks, and you?
- Quite a quiet one actually.
- Oh, they're often the best aren't they..
I seem to hear this conversation almost every week.

Every week would tie in with asking about the weekend tbf

I got round that at work by always answering in a surprising and unnecessary regional accent. People have stopped asking
I used to work with a guy that would reply to "how was your weekend " with things like "you know, the work of the fishermens union is never done " and just walk off
Black cab drivers that think they own London. Just went out at lunch and nearly got knocked down at a zebra crossing by one.
Was being tail-gated by one yesterday that kept trying to undertake me (even though there was no lane to my left, he was trying to find a gap between the curb and me particularly at points where the road widened at junctions or if there was a bike lane) because I wasn't driving fast enough into the back of the tanker that was in front of it. Once a bus lane appeared he went twice the speed limit down it to undertake both the tanker and me. Utter idiot.

He clearly didn't have a paying customer in the back..
When a window pops up right in the middle of the screen on ITV player asking if you want it to install something from there on your computer, and it asks if you agree or not. If you disagree the window just keeps reappearing until you click on agree. Why bother asking? Crap flogging wankers.

When you're five minutes into a TV show and there are still cast and production staff names flashing up at the bottom. It's annoying, I don't need to know who one of the five producers was whilst the plot is being set up. If only there was somewhere at the end of the episode where all the people involved could receive the credit they deserve, wouldn't that be a novel idea.

Signs on the Motorway like.... The A2 at the A28 is closed.
Okay that doesnt help me one bit, there are hundreds of "A" Roads in the country and I barely know any of them, nor can I check to see where the A28 (in case its local) because I'm bloody driving!!
1) The dying art of drivers indicating. Has this requirement been removed from the highway code??? 2) Mobile phone zombies, plodding though society with their nose stuck in their phones, ignoring everything and everyone around them! Only a matter of time before I see somebody get mowed down by a car or crushed under a train because of this!

It's just not an acceptable thing to do.
If you idiots are paying £5 or more for a cup of beans mixed with boiled water then no wonder you are desperately in need of cash.
People who don't know what the lines in the middle of the road mean.
