Motorists who slow right down in front of you (possibly trying to find a particular house number or looking for a parking spot) as if they're the only vehicle on the road, no indication, no hazard lights, nothing.

People from oop north saying I'm going up to Brighton, seriously peev's me

That used to annoy me until I lived near Man chester for a few years. Actually it still annoys me but now I understand the logic. Apparently where ever you are you always go "up" to the Capital, therefore as Brighton is in the same direction as London you also go 'up to Brighton'

Supermarkets that don't put on a quick till manned by a person so that you either have to use the horrible self service tills or queue behind someone with a months worth of shopping to pay for.

When people take a whole trolley into the self scan 'quick'/basket tills.

People who drive too slow/don't indicate.

The misuse of apostrophe's.

That is a prime example.... if you are using the plural of apostrophe it should read apostrophes. Your example implies possession.

Unless of course you are being 'tongue in cheek'.

Drivers in front of you that approach a green traffic light like they dont want to go through it then realize it is green and speed up at the last minute only for you to be left stranded when it turns red.

People who pretend to be American when saying a date and leave out the word 'THE'. Eg. June 1st. Not June THE 1st.

People who sit in the aisle seat on a train when the window seat is free then huff, puff and mutter under their breath when you ask to sit in the empty seat next to them.

If you were 6'3" you would realise that the aisle seat is the only one which allows you to stick your legs out without breaking your thighbone on the chair back in front.
No excuse for huffing and puffing though!

seems to be a good thread for one of my pet hates. Watching American TV drama when 8-10 minutes in they still have the bloody opening credits coming up on screen. FFS

when you watch a series on Sky, and it goes through the titles, as said above and then 5 minutes in, the bloody adverts cut in.
