People constantly being late

That really does my nut in - I don't mind if people fone to tell you, but it's silence... grrrr

Well being late is a medical affliction, I'm certain of it. I just can't remember being on time twice in a row for anything.

We should definitely get more sympathy from society -- perhaps we could blame it on our glands?

Using 'pre-order' when surely 'reserve' or 'order' would suffice. The pre- prefix is redundant and really just bad English.

It's not so much people being late that gets my goat - but when people don't bother to turn up at all and don't bother telling you beforehand or even phoning.

Ooh I agree, that is even more irritating. Like when you arrange to do something, possibly rearrange other plans to do it....then they don't even bother turning up. Happened to me last week. Infuriating.

And another one.....standing in line in a shop queue waiting to pay - possibly waiting for ages and then the woman in front (not that I am trying to badmouth my own fair sex, but it IS usually woman) waits right until she gets to the till to delve about in her bag to find her purse etc, making me wait even longer.

I'm such a miserable old bag!!

No you're not a miserable old bag, i'd say that is justifiable annoyance. I hate that too. It's even more annoying when they have aload of 15p off vouchers they want to cash in

On the other hand, I find it annoying that you can't use those vouchers in Tesco to get discounts on anything anymore - instead you have to actually buy what it gives a discount on to claim one

One thing that has happened to me twice this last week which has annoyed me, is when people tell you they won't be going out tonight as its crap or they have a lack of money, yet they phone you at 10.30pm asking where are you? With no-one being able to give you a lift too.

One other thing that annoys me is when people think I am Gay and this has happened alot recently, and to be honest it's getting beyond a joke, I may do some odd things but I know I'm straight.
