That Sian Lloyd - perfectly nice lady I'm sure - but used to drive me nuts with those wierd hand movements.

Watch next time!!!!

The endless sponsorship / birthday / leaving pressie money-collection rounds - some weeks there are three or four.....

Yeah, I get that a bit at the moment. The sponsorship is getting beyond a joke. There are people I know who have wanted sponsoring for a 5km walk.

Also as you enter my office building you walk through first one, then another set of automatic doors. The movement of these doors triggers more automatic doors which lead to various different parts of the building. The movement from these doors then re-triggers the outside doors to open and close again, thus starting up the inside doors again... When they were first installed it was like a self-sustaining chain reaction that went on for some minutes. It's now been adjusted, but it was bloody silly.

Drivers who sit with their foot on the brake pedal with high viz brake lights at junctions when they know they aint going anywhere for at least 3 minutes but are quite happy to blind you.
PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, HANDBRAKE ON AND GET YOUR FEET OFF THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS YOU TWONKS.
Oh, and people who drive with fog lights on, on a sunny day. Winkers !
Traffic lights on islands.GRRRRRR! are you not supposed to give traffic from the right the priority and move when the road is clear ? (as a motorist and cyclist)

Chicken in a basket.
Worse, soup in a basket

We were walking along the riverside path in York with the family, when ping! and a girl gently cycles by. We got all the kids out of the way and stood still, but she didn't appear to be particularly grateful.
Most annoying .....

I do still acknowledge them, but it's through inwardly gritted teeth...

We have a couple of sets of automatic doors, which swing open, one way, and if you happen to be walking at a reasonable pace, instead of a gnetle amble, they sense you too late, and swing open in your face...

WTF

Are some people really so lazy that that seems like a challenge?

Men who ride bikes with short shorts on and anoraks, thus giving the impression that they are naked underneath.

What??!!! LOL!!! Priceless!!

Do you kind of hope they are, and they're just teasing you???!![/QUOTE]

I'd likely punch the air in victory at my annoyance of this all these years being validated finally, only then to realise that I'd be celebrating a hideous occurrence.

On a similar note, there's an older bloke (mid 50s I'd guess) who jogs past me every morning and he has a rain jacket that is almost exactly the same length as his shorts. It's rank.

This one made me laugh! I like parsnips myself, but it's the idea of them being unexpected that's funniest...

Is that worse than respec??!!


Along the parsnips line - the peanuts in Revels.

(I even like the coffee and orange ones - it's the peanuts that get me down. If I had wanted peanuts I'd have bought yellow M&Ms.)

Also on revels - the fact that the minstrels aren't real ones!!!!
