Why do they always pack rice in plastic packets that rip all the way to the bottom when you try to open them?

Misuse of apostrophes.

If some thing belongs to Dave it is Dave's. If there are two people called Dave there are two Daves. Plural does not = apostrophe.

My wife filing the kettle to the brim to make two cups of tea.

People who run to stop a lift just as the doors are closing and then say "sorry"

People who quote research as fact when in fact it isn't. FACT.

Pigeon toed people.
People talking on their mobile but hold it out in front of them on loud speaker.
People not washing their hands after using the loo.
People that put your change in the counter instead of in your hand.
Blokes with beards and tattoos, such a generic and unimaginative cliché.
Pubic hair.

Here we go again
People who think it worth commenting that NSC can occasionally be a bit repetitive.

Tiny writing on food packaging - especially when combined with some sort of treasure hunt for the cooking instructions ("peel here and read reverse side of label" ...).

Repetitive to the point that this exact thread gets started twice weekly.

Subjectivivity in weather forecasts - there should be no place for..."lovely sunshine", " I'm afraid the rain is on its way" etc etc.

West is BEST
People who let their kids work the self service counter when there's a big queue.

People at Lidl who carefully pack their goods away as they are being served. Stick it back in the trolley and sort it out after paying. It's what the huge area with a long shelf is for past the tills.

The hero worship of Michael Jackson.

People eating on the radio.

Radio and TV presenters pretending to like "blokey things" when they clearly have no real interest.

Chris Evans (see previous two posts).

People who profess to know the perfect and only way to cook a steak.

"High days and holidays" chefs. Usually blokes who wouldn't know where to begin making breakfast, lunch and dinner for a family every day of the week but will once every two months pull their signature dish out for a dinner party and act like they could run a Michelin starred restaurant.

Agree it should be balanced e.g. Lovely sunshine today so a high risk of malignant melanoma if you are out and about, now back to you in the Studio...

A woman on the train yesterday, headphones in, book in one hand, plastic bookmark in the other - which she used as a drum stick on the table in tune with her music. Blissfully unaware of how irritating she was.
