    When getting off the train and people press the door release buttons over and over again before the train grinds to a halt.

    Doesn't annoy me, they just look like prats. A woman does it every morning as she gets on the train. Even her mate laughs and tells her the doors won't open until the light comes on. Silly cow still stands there pressing the button like mad.
    Shock, woman presses little button until she gets off.

    Getting up for work after being out drinking all night. Get ready for work, leave the house, get half way to the station and then realise that your last day at work was was yesterday.

    Not long after I started work in the late 80's I got all the way to a deserted dartford station before realising it was a Sunday.
  • Spitting. Nothing worse that somebody gobbing on the pavement.

    The pavement pizzas this time of year up here in the West End particularly get my goat.

    If your goat is like my dog, surprised, it hasn't tried to eat them.
  • Companies, that I have barely heard of, addressing me by my first name and wishing me a Happy Christmas.

    Finding out the tax man has overcharged you, getting a refund cheque, then finding out the next day that the dental work your wife needs will swallow almost all of it up in a fortnight.

    (Actually thankful for having it there to use - the money that is, not the wife...)

    Would make one process slightly less dangerous if they didn't

    Well, it's not like it's a front one or anything... I s'pose I could ask? :wink:

  • Saying Happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

    Extraordinary. Earlier this morning when I read this, I thought that I hadn't heard "happy holidays" for ages. This morning, I had brunch (not a word I like, I prefer lunfast) in town and as we left the young waitress wished me "happy holidays".

    Strange.

    Being called buddy by bar staff

    A bloke at work calls everybody buddy. I just want to throw boiling hot coffee in his face when he says it.

    It's up there with 'fella' in my book.

    Shit online quizzes. There looked like a great quiz on bad football kits on BBC Sport, except only one of the questions was about guessing what team the bad kit belonged to and the other 9 questions related to vague nonsense trivia unrelated to the kits in question.

    Maybe I should make a quiz called 'Guess the shit BBC journalist' and the questions relate entirely to average rainfall in various parts of the world.

    I did that same one and stopped after a couple of questions for that same reason. So bizarre. Questions like "Hully City once wore this awful strip in the mid-90's in the 4th division. But who were the top four scorers in the Premiership at that time?"

    I thought the same. Until I got nine out of ten, and realised that I was utterly brilliant, and everyone else knew f*** all about football.*

    *Then again, maybe I was a bit lucky?

    Apparently the DVD "Champions - highlights of Charlton Athletics title winning 2012-13 season" isn't acceptable here either !
