I like this thread. Can anyone join in? I am sometimes called Victor Meldrew.
My moan..."I went to the ATM machine" the M stands for machine!!!
What is your PIN number?....The N stands for number.
Oh, and cold weather.

Hate expats who post every little thing about their life on facebook simply to boast to their mates back home - eg "here is our new 5 bed villa with pool" - they forget to say that it's in the middle of the desert (somewhere like KCA) and make the picture look like it's in Florida. Still it probably beats their semi in Whitley Bay.

The two "survivalists" on Dual Survival on Discovery Channel. PMSL when these experts couldn't light a fire with a flint and steel. Painful!

Coffee bars that don't sell 'small' sizes...............
"I'd like a coffee please"
"What size, sir?"
"Just a small one, please"
"We don't sell small, sir - just medium and large"
"Well how big is the 'medium' one?"
"Er.... quite small, actually........."

Illiterate airlines and airline staff.
"On behalf of myself..." WTF? If s/he was boarding the 5:15 I'd be more tolerant, but unless you're 'king quadrophenic how the **** can you speak on behalf of yourself?
"We kindly request you to..." So you believe you're being kind to request me to do something? Arrogant twats.
And that god-awful yellow stuff they serve up masquerading as quiche--tried it once and could taste it for 3 days afterwards.
All the above courtesy of KLM, arguably the rudest airline in the world.

And automatic on-line editors which turn my four letter abbreviation of French Connection UK into ****.

The habit of ending a statement with a question mark? (See what I mean?)
