Train etiquette.  People who think that their handbag deserves a seat before a paying customer.  People who think their balls are so big that their leg needs to encroach onto the seat beside them.

Lol...i need to sit with the legs open on the train or my balls would pop, the bag on the seat is bad in fairness. Longshanks you're obviously one of the grumpy hoors on the train that give chirpy people like me dirty looks in the morning to "shut the F**k up".

Actually what does my head in is the people on their phones, ipads etc with the head phones in who sit like sad anti social b**tards and wouldn't bid you the time of day.
Headphones only go on when they see you standing on the platform as the train approaches  ;)

Lol...prob true. Ohh hold on my name is not Tony
I can swim a little but i can't fly an inch

Longshanks

illdecide I have no problem with ordinary conversation but seriously some people love the sound of their own voice and if talking to a mate or on the phone want the world and their mother to know what they are doing.. >:(

If you sit on a train for the best part of 3 hours everyday trust me you get easily irritated.

Cinema etiquette.  I am there to watch a film.  I am not there to have to tell you to stop kicking the back of my seat, to put your phone away, or to shut the f*ck up...

Anyone born after 1980.  Spoiled little c***ts who haven't had to do without Sky, Internet, corporal punishment in school or smartphones.  A week in a 70s / 80s inner city school would sort the little bastards out!! :)

Was at the Cinema once with a friend! The person behind my friend at the Cinema spent a half an hour kicking the back of my friends seat. My friend would every now and again look back every now a again with a dirty look! But to no avail. Anyway it reached a peak of annoyance for my friend that he proceeded in a fit of anger to get out of his seat and go into the seat behind the annoying person. He proceeded to kick your mans seat for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile I'm sitting there in my original seat thinking this is going to get serious. Luckily it didn't! My friend returned seat and the annoying person got the message after a fairly demonstrative hint!

Mobile phones whilst out for dinner, pub or watching a film. But I'm losing the battle and maybe it's time to accept it's not going away.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Cars with 1 head light out coming against you at night.

People driving about at night with no lights on. It's an epidemic here. I blame daytime running lights that light up the dashboard even though the tail lights are out.

People who are "devastated" at something which is unfortunate but not life or death.  If your favourite group cancel their performance this is not devastating.  Save your devastation for when something tragic occurs.

It is common everywhere, although while in CA last year I was surprised to see some guy whizzing along on the I405 with no lights of any sort.

They are always the brain dead types who ignore you even if you flash your lights to remind them.

I know what you mean, I usually tie mine around my waist.

Earphones and chargers. These are the bane of my life. Why do Apple, Samsung et al go to such huge lengths to develop their products and then give you the shitiest quality earphones and charger to go with them? I've a Samsung and iPhone. I've had to replace both chargers because the wires are so shite and the same with the iPhone earphones. The Samsung earphones are just f**king stupid. The left earphone is long and the right one is short! Always leads to a pile of fidgeting! So stupid  >:(
