TV programmes padded with 'on this weeks show', 'in part two', 'previously in part one', etc. Some are so bad that the actual content probably only comprises about half the show's running time (maybe even less).
Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

People who cite abbreviations as acronyms that are not acronyms!
WTF is not an acronym, neither is BTW, OTOH, IMHO or any other that can’t be read as a word rather than its constituent letters.
Radar, sonar, tardis, COBRA are all acronyms.
Carry on.

I was going to point that out, but decided that pedantry is even more annoying!

PS Non-acronyms such as WTF are initialisms NOT abbreviations such as 'cal' (calorie)!

And ironically “TLA” - oft used to mean “three letter acronym” - is not an acronym.
