Random irritation; being behind someone whilst driving who decides to clean their windscreen and getting their excess water over your car, I just can’t stand it. No big deal in the scheme of things but it really winds me up. I did that to a bloke intentionally once. The irritating thing for me was that we were in the outside lane of the M40 with the inner lanes full, I had a Volvo in front doing about 60mph, and this bellend in a Seat Leon came up behind me flashing his lights to pass. Now in a position like that with nowhere to go and waiting to pass the Volvo I was being patient but the Leon driver still kept flashing his lights and tailgating me as he was obviously much more important than anyone else. He certainly didn't appreciate the cooling effect of the water as he flashed his lights even more and made a few hand gestures. Anyway, the Volvo eventually pulled back to the middle lane so I waited to be flashed again and then "put the pedal to the metal" and left the pillock standing. Er, but still kept within the speed limit of course! Sam

good for you, Sam. What a t**t. I learned all my driving habits from my dad. I can’t abide people who just pootle about for no reason. When we go from a 30mph zone to national and they ... just maintain their jolly 28 mph (could be metres?) . So you then spend the next however long waiting for a place to overtake which are far and few between anyway, and inevitably there’ll be something coming the other way. It’s bad enough on roads you know inside out. Virtually impossible on roads you don’t know. It shouldn’t wind me up as much as it does, but slow drivers are amongst my very most hated things.

People who rip the opening of sliced loaves of bread instead of untying the sticky plastic fastener & who put the knife they've used for margarine in the jam jar so the jam has disgusting little flecks of marg in it & you have to manouvre your knife to avoid them.
Leaving dirty plates on the unit after you've finished your meal instead of taking 15 seconds to put them in the dishwasher.
People who put the toilet seat lid down. Understandable if you have visitors or you're a guest in someone's house but what is the point if you live in a house of putting the lid down when the next person has to lift it up again? What's so offensive about a toilet bowl unless it's dirty?
Like Larry Grayson I find opened or half opened doors strangely irritating. Also when someone needlessly closes a door, eg. gets up in the night to go to the toilet & closes their bedroom door, only to open it again a minute later, just leave it ajar. Needless locking of doors, closing the curtains before it gets dark, bringing the washing in when it's not quite dry even though there's still a few hours of daylight left.

It seems to me that you're not really cut out for communal living are you Tiger? Another irritating thing for me is when any pot be it Marmite, jam or whatever has 'strings' of its contents down the side because the last one to use it has been careless . Marmite is probably among the worst. Picking up a jar that is sticky down its side irritates the **** out of me. Sam.

Wasn't Jason Plato driving that Seat was it? No, definitely not or he'd have left me standing. He was one of those with the "IQ reducer" back-to-front baseball cap, "Max Power" plastic bits and graphics all over the place, and the car was seemingly all fart and no go. Sam.
