Going to start with a few online ones that annoy the piss out of me.

- People who post selfies every fucking day

- People who put up pictures of themselves looking soulful or doing yoga etc with the caption being some fluff advice or quote that deep down doesn't make any sense

- People who do the above but actually spend the time to write the quote stick it on a photo of themselves through photo editing software and post it online thinking they are important enough to do that. Fuck people who are inspirational don't do that themselves so just fuck right off.

- People who do the above but with other peoples quotes

I think you need to get off social media, fella.

- Restaurants not having things on the menu in with no justifiable reason apart from the kitchen is run by a bunch of twats.

What the fuck does this even mean? Please explain. Are you trying to order mashed potatoes from Subway or something?

-Electronics shops who think I need them to set up my new product and then do a horrible job of choosing the settings and software. Had to reset my new laptop before using as the fuckers had put all this Vietnamese designed shit onto the computer when my back was turned as they refused to give me the product without setting it up.

I can almost guarantee that this didn't happen like that unless you went to a dodgy shop. I worked at the tech department at a computer store for seven years and we never installed anything without asking first. I think you just gave into their 'laptop setup' sales pitch as they would charge for any installation services (which you obviously had to agree at some point). No store worth it's salt is going to spend time sticking software on a machine for free.

- People who pay for 1 drink in a busy pub with a card

At the most it takes 10 seconds longer to pay by card than it does with cash. C'mon now, lad.

- Men in the gym who go round like a group of muppets all taking it in turns to use the same machine and pat each other on the back

Yeah, God forbid people have a group of mates for moral support when working out.

On the subject of the gym, what irritates me is people who don't follow urinal etiquette when it comes to the treadmills. If there are big gaps of machines elsewhere, don't pick the one right next to me. This happens constantly.

This is a good one. One work colleague inexplicably always uses the middle urinal of three and proceed to then spread his legs akimbo like he's speaking at Conservative Party Conference. It's maddening.

There's a guy at my office who does the exact same thing, but I believe it's a mix of his religion not allowing him to touch his dick and/or his OCD. So I think he spreads his legs in order to aim properly with no hands.

He means the lack of availability of an item featured on the menu, not the item not being featured on the menu. So ordering honey oat from Subway except they haven't got any.

Sounds like an intentional wind up and I applaud this.

He's been doing it for the entirety of the two years I have been working here, so that's dedication. I once tried to barge my way in to the left hand urinal lane because the cubicles were being obliterated (as usual) by Andy Powell and I was basically pressed up against the wall, attempting to piss at about an 80 degree angle.

Amazing.

My pet work hate is when I go to piss in our office loo - always go downstairs to poo, would never defile OUR toilet - and somethings died, so much that the stench is going to linger LONG after I've washed my hands and made good my exit. The fear makes me positively nauseous that I will cross paths with one of my colleagues on their way IN, especially one of the girls, and the assumption will be that the act of chemical warfare was mine. HORRIFIC.

"Going forward" and "in terms of" are basically now so over-used at my work that they're on a par with punctuation.

When someone in the office turns to you and says "what are you doing in terms of lunch", shit's gone too far.

People who replace their profile photos with pictures of their kids, especially an entire bloody sequence of them. Yes, you love your kids, but you are not them, and there was a person there before they were born.

They are always the ones who repost the "DON'T ACCEPT A FRIEND REQUEST FROM PETE O'PHILE!!! THEY ARE TRYING TO GET PICTURES OF YOUR KIDS FOR THEIR FILTHY NONCERY!!!" things you see without any self awareness whatsoever.

American Light Lager (like Bud Light or Coors Light). Eurrghh!

DILLY fucking DILLY.

Althought I'm not *that* mad because at least horsepiss was safer than water then.

Usually from people on quiz shows but also used in general, "Oh that was a bit before my time" is such bullshit.  Some total plank was on an antiques quiz show today and said that 80s music was before his time.  Oh and antiques aren't?
