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!!

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...

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.

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

Adverts in the occupied six counties inviting me to join the british army. Fcuk off!!!

Do nordie folks think cos they're south of the border, the rules of the road don't apply to them? Had the misfortune to be on the M1 Friday evening and the amount of fcukwittery by yellow regged cars. Now I know ye're all in a rush to get out but ffs, you don't own the f**king road. Do penalty points not apply to nordies with GB driving licences?
